Service that over and beyond what we paid for - I had come in contact with the company because Emirates Holdiays had chosen them as our local representative and arranged transfers and a half day tour. The vehicles they used are Audi Q3 and Hyundai Tuscon. I couldn’t believe my eyes and saw such hospitable staff that they help in carrying your luggage, give you water. Both the drivers we were allotted were so amazing and knew and have information about the city, culture that it was refreshing experience. Many wishes to them for going above and beyond. In the half day tour as well, the driver/tour guide alloyed to us not only drove us to places, but along the way gave us lots of information. He even recommend us the shops and markets and took us where it was more suitable for us which is fact that most people don’t recognise. Kudos to team and all the Persons involved. God bless you all for such hard work you do everyday to bring smiles to different people who would meet you for some hours.
