“Fantastic Dubai Guided Tour, what an unforgettable experience”
We are a group of four that all of us are new to Dubai. We chose this 2-day guided tour as a shore excursion tour day & on the disembarkation day of our cruise trip. Our guide/driver Saif provides a superior professional service. He covers from deep culture, history & heritage of Dubai, to the contemporary urbanization & future developments by moving through iconic landmarks. He is knowledgeable, friendly, reliable, patient & is a good communicator, and also to be flexible to meet our special preferences & needs. He made all of us have an indepth understanding of everything about the city & so be more enjoyable. He offers an all inclusive tour price package that includes all required tickets (e.g. mosque, Miracle Garden, etc) so we won't need to worry about lining up & buying tickets. Vehicle is luxurious, comfortable, clean & he is a safe driver. Conclusively they provide a superior & hassle free guided tour. Very highly likely will go for them again if we tour Dubai in the future. Highly recommended.
