Testimonials

When I travelled to Dubai for work, I only had one day off in the city (so every minute counts). Since I was doing a guided full day tour, I managed to see all the sites I wanted to see, including the Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah and the creek and learn about the history of each of those sites. The trip was comfortable and there was no urgency—but enough time at every location. Total satisfaction.

Ravi Menon

As a family of five with three children, we all had an amazing experience on this tour. Our guide was very patient and very good at explaining the sites to our kids. Our children really enjoyed learning about the traditional houses in Al Fahidi, many of which have wind towers on their roofs. The vehicle we used for the tour was large and comfortable.

James and Sarah Collins

As I had a total of six hours to spare, I was going to use them exploring the city before my connecting flight. This resulted in a successful partial-day tour. The well-timed pick-up, smooth transitions between locations, and the amount of time left over at the airport made this city tour one of the most gratifying experiences. Just the picture opportunity taken by the Burj Al Arab would have justified the cost of the tour was more than sufficient.

Priya Nair

The Dubai Creek tour was the most enjoyable part of our experience. Even though our expectation of modern architecture as being the highlight of the city, seeing traditional abra water taxis, old buildings and the Spice Souk gave us a different perspective on Dubai. We spent a fair amount of time at the creek because our guide was very knowledgeable about everything related to the history of the region.

Thomas Becker

Another group of six people visiting Dubai for the first time selected to do the limousine tour package. They made the right choice as the professional and friendly driver was very attentive and ensured that everyone was comfortable.
