The highlight of my visit! - Monsoor was the most amazing guide! He was so informed and interesting, kind, patient and accommodating. Sampling the food with his guidance was such a treat and I really appreciated that he made sure I had a secure ride back to my hotel in a legitimate taxi. His tour was the highlight of my very short stay in Dubai.

Great morning tour of the old city sights - Ali was a great guide and took us to all the places we had wanted to see in old Dubai. He was informative and friendly and on time, despite having to cover for our originally booked guide who had to cancel the morning of our tour. We later found out that the temperature was over 42 degrees with a much higher heat index, but Ali made sure we stopped for hydration and to find some AC so we were not overly exhausted.

High quality private tour - Great private tour with a knowledgeable and interesting guide, who was flexible with timing and responsive to all questions in advance. Being able to start at 5pm meant we could do the tour in cooler temperatures before dinner downtown. Was a very worthwhile addition to our itinerary in Dubai.

The Best Tour Of Dubai - Tamour is the most thoughtful and kind tour guide! He thoroughly explained each attraction in detail, took pictures for me and my family, and helped us navigate around the city. Today was my first day in Dubai, but I feel like I’ve been here forever! He even gave history facts which were educational and interesting. It was nice to get to know Dubai and Tamour. If you want to take a tour of Dubai’s best attractions, make sure you take it with him for the best experience!
