A wonderful trip with Mazher

We were travelling with our 85 year old father but despite is slow walking, our tour guide, Mazher, was very accommodating. There’s a lot of walking so make sure you have comfy shoes, hat and sunglasses against the sun! We saw many of the sights including Al Seef as well as taking an Abra across the creek to visit the Souks and help us negotiate the shopping! Mazhar was very kind and patient, taking time to answer our questions and explaining the history of the founding of Dubai. We were very happy with the trip and can definitely recommend this company and Mazher who made it an enjoyable time in Dubai.

Family friendly

Shahzad was our tour guide. He was really good and patient with us. He also helped us get amazing deals in the market and even stayed a bit longer to make sure we got a ride back to our hotel. The tour was informative and really good. Highly recommend :)

No WhatsApp - need to be advised this is the communication method!

We were shown Dubai’s old town which was mainly closed as it was mid-afternoon. Guide attempted to change our tour time due to the heat. He couldn’t contact us as we do not have WhatsApp, There is no mention of communication via WhatsApp when booking. We were taken to the Gold Souq and Spice Souq. A good experience.

we are very sorry for inconvenience we will make sure next time about this

Enjoyable experience

It was very nice of Malik's brother that he explained everything with details only when it was necessary so that we could have a glimpse of the arabian culture. We felt special.

Best tour

We had a wonderful time with Malik’s brother. He clarified all our questions, not only about Dubai, but also about the arab culture. We had so much fun together and I wish we could have stayed more. Totally recommend.
