Great choice for a private tour - This was the highlight of our quick 2 day layover in Dubai. I booked a private tour for the 3 of us and it was well worth the money. We saw some group tours and they looked pretty miserable standing in the heat trying to group into the shade, etc. Our tour guide Anis was fantastic. He is super knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor too. We learned a ton about Dubai’s history and people in a short period of time. We liked ending in the gold shouk where we spent some time shopping when done with the tour. If you are considering booking this, do it— you won’t regret it.
