Complete tour of Dubai. - We had a wonderful trip with Nazeem as our tour guide. It was just the three of us in a luxury car and we felt very comfortable in his presence. It became clear from early on that we, and our enjoyment, were his priority for the day. We visited a number of places during our tour including various demonstrations of local goods, but never felt under pressure to make purchases. The demonstrations were very interesting to us. Nazeem was quite happy to make some slight adaptations to the tour to suit our needs. Highly recommend the tour and were really happy with the later time slot of 11.00 am. Thank you for a great day.

Disappointed - We had high hopes for this tour based on all of the positive reviews. Unfortunately this tour did not meet our expectations. It was little more than a taxi ride to various places around the city. Not very much information was given. The one main stop was to a spice souk where they tried to sell us a bag of tea and chocolate dates for $476 USD. We asked if the merchant meant 476 dirham?? But no. It was US dollars. I could not believe it! Who would spend that much on a bag of tea and chocolate? We were expecting to visit more places and make actual “stops” but most where just drive by’s. Also the tour description stated that it would be 8 hours. Ours ended after only 6 1/2 hours. I guess you need to have Ali as your tour guide. Looking back now I see that all of the positive reviews were actually about Ali.
