The best tour in Dubai - Just Private Tour is the name of the company and it is really a personalized tour experience, Waseem is the manager and was our host and our experience in the Dubai City Tour couldn’t be better, he’s the best tour guide anyone can find, he gives you really good advices to do shopping in the old town and also is very flexible with time, our tour last about 11 hours despite the schedule says 8 hours and he never charged any extra money for the additional time. If you’re looking for a tour company in Dubai, you must do it with Just Private Tours.

Worth my time! - Asim, my tour guide for the day was great!!
He was well spoken, easy to understand, personable and wealth of knowledge about the city, culture, customs and religion. I enjoyed all the different places and aspects we saw, the old and new, history and shopping. I loved spice and gold souks in El Deira, they were an interesting experience in spite of some of the annoying and pushy vendors. Asim took me to a local restaurant for lunch which was very, very good! The Burj Khalifa was okay, not the best part of the day, long lines and pushy visitors that were rude. Overall a nice tour which was flexible with a great tour guide!

Full Day Dubai Highlight Tour - excellent tour by Waseem arrived promptly and from then on was a very enjoyable day. Very knowledgeable about the area got to save some parts of Dubai that we have never seen before including the Kings Palace from there it was on to the Burj Khalifa - tickets were all arranged for us was a bit of a wait due to the time of day to get up to the top probably about 15 to 20 minutes. Great views again from the levels 124 and 125, we then had a quick lunch in the mall. This was at an additional cost as was our choice but good court outlets were very reasonably priced. The kids loved the croc happy meal toy. We then headed to get some photos outside the Museum of the future and Dubai Frame then headed to ‘old dubai’ via a local boat across dubai creek to a traditional souk to look at spices, oil base perfumes and then gold. We did a quick return journey over Dubai Creek again this was included in the price of our trip to where the car was parked. While at the souk Waseem went above and beyond with little touches like getting both little ones a trinket in one of the shops and camel soft toy also we weren’t bothered too much by being with a guide. Then we made our way back to the hotel via Jumeriah Beach area another couple of quick photo stops for the Burj al Arab and the atlantis hotel. we got back to the hotel around 7pm it was a tiring but very enjoyable day out. would definitely recommend

Private tour of Dubai - We had an amazing tour of Dubai with Wassem. The best was to see the city. Waseem was very informative and accommodating. Would definitely recommend booking a private tour with Waseem. We saw all the sights.

A great personal tour of old and new Dubai - When I was planning my first trip to Dubai, I thought the Full Day Private Tour looked good, was a nice way to get around and to better understand the local culture. The Full Day Tour with Waseem exceeded my already high expectations. He was extremely knowledgeable and we modified the tour a few times, based on what he thought I would enjoy. I had many questions which he answered and provided additional information. The tour was a nice mix of old and new Dubai, and I had a memorable evening. I highly recommend this tour with Waseem as it is obvious he loves what he does.

Private All Day Tour - A private tour is a great way to go. Waseem my guide tailored the trip to my interests as the day moved along. It was ideal and he had alot of facts, info and history to tell. The 8 hours went too fast. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Wonderful highlights tour - Asim was a lovely guide and driver, and it was great to see the highlights of Dubai during this 8 hour tour. He was very knowledgeable and proud of of Dubai, which is what made the tour interesting. The visit to Burj Khalifa was amazing, which provided unbelievable views of the city. It is a lot of driving however. We were not able to visit the inside of the Mosque and Za'abeel Palace (our tour stated admission tickets included for both) which was disappointing. Overall a good overview tour.
