Great trip seeing the old and new with Waseem - Had a great day with Waseem. He was so knowledgeable and nice. Got to see all the main things we wanted to see and Waseem was very flexible, giving us more time at stops when needed and could answer all the questions we had. Could not recommend enough. Great seeing the newer and older parts of Dubai

Amazing day in Dubai - We had a wonderful day with Imran exploring beautiful Dubai. He kept us cool and hydrated while also teaching us so much about the history of Dubai and showing us some amazing sites. We plan to visit again and our first choice for more tours will be with him.
