Kudos to Ikyam - Ikyam did a great job introducing us to Dubai history and culture. He was open to any and all questions on a wide range of topics. We got to everything described in the tour and never felt rushed. Overall a great introduction to Dubai that I would recommend The only problem was meeting up at the beginning. We went to the location TripAdvisor told us to go to but Ikyam was at a different part of the station

Fabulous tour of historic Dubai and its evolutionary transition to the city it is today! - What a fabulous way to see the old town and history of Dubai. There ended up only being two of us on the tour so it was literally a private tour of Dubai old town. Mazher was a wonderful guide, taking us thru the history of Dubai and evolutionary transition to the city it is today. Highly recommend this tour.

Must do your when you are in Dubai - Had a wonderful morning walking tour with Mazher. Interesting, informative, and fun. Mazher is a wealth of information and took us to museums, coffee tasting, dates/chocolate, and shopping for gold, spices, and other items. Really fun way to explore Dubai old town. Highly recommend Mazher and this tour is a definite must do. Our 9am start was perfect as not too hot or too busy. Easy to get to by the Metro. Thanks Mazher.

Good tour - I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a Dubai city tour with Ikram, and I can confidently say it was one of the most memorable travel experiences I’ve ever had. From start to finish, everything was handled with the highest level of professionalism, warmth, and hospitality. Ikram is not just a tour guide—he is a storyteller, a cultural ambassador, and someone who genuinely cares about making every guest feel comfortable and welcome. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended!
