It was amazing! It was convenient due to the hotel pick up and drop off. It was very organized. The guide knew quite a bit about Dubai, its history, etc and that really added to the experience. Would definitely recommend.

Guide was excellent and the private van for 6 of us was efficient way to see Dubai.

What an excellent day. Our driver guide could not have been any more helpful. Nothing was a problem for him, and he was very informative and friendly. He looked after us very well.

The half day Dubai City Tour was a perfect way to get a sense of Dubai. The car and guide picked me up at my hotel, making it very convenient too. We visited the famous hotel Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah Grand Mosque and Bastakia, the renovated area with traditional wind tunnel architecture where migrants from Bastak Province, Iran first lived when they came to Dubai. We also went to the Old Fort, Museum, and took a ride on a small boat across Dubai Creek. My favorite part was walking through the textile, gold, and spice markets. All of this in just over 4 hours was great. The driver and especially the very informative guide made it a special trip. I highly recommend this tour.

What a great way to see and learn about the history of Dubai from the old to the new. Our tour guide was really knowledgeable about Dubai and gave us plenty of time to look around and explore. We were about one hour over our expected finish time and he did not seem to mind. We would recommend this tour to all visitors to Dubai. We only wish that we had more time there.

We have a little kid, and that's why we did the private tour. It is your family alone in a large mini van. The guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. Spoke perfect English she was from Germany. She knew Dubai inside out, and she changed her itinerary to accommodate what we wanted to see and do. Absolutely fantastic!

I think this is the only way to get a feel for Dubai since the city is quite large and spread out. Our guide hit all the old and new sites and was personable and intelligent.

Great to have a private air-conditioned vehicle and guide - Dubai is very very hot. However the itinerary of the tour was completely different to that described. For example we did not get to see old Dubai, the gold souk , the spice souk, the museum or the abra ride. Our guide said that because of Ramadan the souks are not open in the mornings. However we saw the Burj Al Arab, Jumeirah Mosque, Palm Island, the Marina area and Ski Dubai which we had requested. We did enjoy the tour and our guide, we learned a lot about Dubai, and they were prompt with picking us up.

Tour was ok but we thought it was too expensive for what it was.

The guide lacked information. It felt more like a shopping tour rather than a city tour of Dubai.
