We had our private tour today (2/4/2026) since it was a private tour we covered all that was included per our itinerary. We were not rushed and had enough times for the sites included in our itinerary. We had Ragesh for our driver and guide, we were so impressed by his wealth of knowledge about Dubai and the UAE. His driving skills is good and made us feel safe during our tour. What made the tour more interesting was he also asked us questions to test our knowledge of Dubai and the UAE. If you’re visiting Dubai and book your tour with Viator (our 6 tours were all booked by my niece Danielle from Fora travel) I highly recommend, Ragesh for your guide, he does an excellent job at his craft.
We had such a fantastic time on this half day tour, our guide Farhan was so friendly and so knowledgeable. He catered the tour to suit our timings and you could tell he really wanted us to have the best experience. I would highly recommend doing this tour with Farhan if you are visiting Dubai.
"Top-notch tour guide alert! Ahmed's expertise and warm personality made our Dubai and Abu Dhabi adventure truly special. On time, knowledgeable, and passionate - what more could you
We had an amazing Dubai city tour with our family. Our tour guide, Rajesh, did an excellent job—his driving was very smooth, and he expertly avoided traffic despite the Gulf Food event happening in the city. We were able to visit almost everything, covering both New Dubai and Old Dubai. The Abra ride was incredible and truly memorable. Rajesh was very friendly, highly knowledgeable, and made the entire tour enjoyable and informative. Highly recommended tour and guide. Thank you!
Farhan is a wonderful guide. He picked us up from our Hotel and we started at the Burj Khalifa. On the way he told us what to expect and how to get the most out of every experience we had. There is absolutely NO better way to experience this AMAZING city. From the Souks to the Mosque we could not have enjoyed the experience and the memories that will last forever without Farhan. We would highly recommend this tour and Farhan as your guide!
The Tour was well planed and visited all the sites needed to visit in Dubai. Our guide Rajesh was excellent in providing us insights and info about the city and managed our day’s itinerary so well that we avoided long lines at the Burj Khalifa. Would recommend Rajesh to anyone, very kind and knowledgeable. He even gave me a very nice gift since today was my birthday!!
A wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide. The experience is always engaging, friendly and informative. All of the different tours are rich and diverse, and the they go out of their way to make very comfortable throughout the activity. I highly recommend this company!
We had an amazing half-day Dubai tour with Zaka as our guide! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, smooth, and enjoyable. Zaka was knowledgeable, friendly, and very accommodating, making sure we were comfortable and having a great time throughout the tour. He shared interesting facts about Dubai’s history, culture, and landmarks, and really brought the city to life. Having the Burj Khalifa tickets included was a huge plus and made the experience completely stress-free. The views were absolutely incredible and a true highlight of our trip. This tour was the perfect way to see Dubai in a short amount of time, and Zaka made it even better with his professionalism and positive energy. Highly recommend this tour and especially recommend Zaka as a guide — you won’t be disappointed!
Zaka was our guide today, communication beforehand was excellent and he even picked us up from our hotel earlier upon request, he planned out the day perfectly meaning we didn’t queue for the Frame or Burj Khalifa, which meant more time to explore the many sights of Dubai. Zaka is extremely knowledgeable and answered all of my many many questions without hesitation. He also gave us tips and ideas for our stay in Dubai. A great day and I’d highly recommend this tour to get all the sights of Dubai done in one day.
I had a wonderful half-day Dubai city tour with tour guide Rajesh. He showed us both old and new Dubai in a very smooth and well-planned way. The tour included Old Dubai, a traditional Dubai Creek area, and modern landmarks like Burj Khalifa and Jumeirah Beach. Rajesh was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the tour very enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Dubai! 🌟 Thank you once again 🙏🏼
Short trip, plenty of non stop places and couldnt take photo in some places, better rent a car or using taxi as usd 400 not worth for short trip. But driver was very helpfull and friendly.
One of the best tours. Mr Yousuf did an awesome job. He completely personalized the entire tour. He was right on time to pick us up and was most accommodating and personalizing the day according to our preference. He was very informative and gave us detailed information of pertinent area that we visited. He also gave us very practical advice regarding the best spots to visit. I would highly recommend this tour without any hesitation to anyone considering a visit to Dubai.
Really great tour. Our guide was really knowledgeable and friendly! So helpful and informative. The frame queues are really long so might be worth doing a VIP or going super early. The future museum is worth a visit for sure!
The driver was pleasant and picked and dropped us from hotel. Communication prior to the tour was absent. I had to text the tour company on the morning of the tour to confirm our pickup when I was informed they thought the booking was for the next day. They did realize their mistake and sent a tour guide who was also the driver to show us around. He was pleasant and showed us around but seemed to be spread thin with back to back tours before and after ours. So barely stopped for pics at some spots, had to stay with the car at other spots… just seemed disorganized. Not worth the price or the tit bits of information/guiding that he did. Also skipped some spots. Would not recommend this tour.
Hafiz was so awesome and so flexible very knowledgeable of the area… Took amazing pictures of me and Wilson couldn’t recommend
Out guide - Farhan was amazing and very knowledgeable for such a young man. The tour was a little misleading in that we could only enter the foyer of the Museum of the Future and could could not gain any access to the Palm Atlantis due to ongoing works.
Ali was incredible! Our private tour was personalized and informative and a lot of fun. We felt like we traveled as locals. Dubai came alive with Ali. We would highly recommend him and this tour to anyone!
This experience was beautiful, we booked a private tour, guide Farhan, was amazing, and informative. In this tour we visited the dubia frame, the museum of the future and the blue mosque. Similar to the one in Istanbul. We also had a stop on the beach, for the Burj Arab photo. When I booked I didn’t realise that it was only a drive through pass for the dubia frame. But we asked our driver Farhan, if we could go and buy tickets to visit the frame inside, Farhan was very patient and allowed this and he asked us to ring him once we were finished. It only took approximately 45-50 minutes. Once you’re on top of the frame you can see the iconic view of the old and new dubia. Would definitely recommend this tour. He even told us about the good quality Arabic and Pakistani eating places.
This is a flexible, customizable experience that is perfect for seeing a snapshot of what Dubai has to offer. Ahmed was knowledgeable, personable, and helpful. He is a true professional. The same is true for Abdullah, who expertly drove our group to every destination safely and efficiently. This is perfect for a first time visitor.
We had the opportunity to join this tour in Dubai, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. Ahmed, our guide, was outstanding – highly professional, friendly, and always willing to help or answer any questions. His deep knowledge of the city and engaging way of sharing information made the tour even more enjoyable and meaningful. We visited some of Dubai’s most iconic landmarks, including The Frame and the Museum of the Future, which amazed us with its futuristic design. We also visited the breathtaking Dubai Eye, explored the beautiful and serene Blue Mosque, drove through the impressive Palm Jumeirah, and ended the day at the Old Dubai and the bustling Gold Souq, a place full of culture and traditional charm. Everything was well-organized, with just the right amount of time at each stop. It was the perfect way to discover the highlights of Dubai in one day without stress or rush (we did this tour on Sunday). We 100% recommend this tour. If you’re looking for a professional, well-paced and enriching way to explore Dubai, this is the one. Thank you for such an amazing day!
A great way to see all the highlights of Dubai! My guide Mohammed was a an excellent source of information, as he has lived in Dubai for 30 years. Was able to spend more time at places that were of particular interest, as Mohammed was flexible. A super half day!
The half-day tour was great! It was the perfect amount of time to see the main highlights of Dubai without feeling rushed. Everything was well planned, and our guide made the experience enjoyable and informative. A great option if you're short on time but want to experience the best of the city!
Majid was incredibly knowledgeable and professional! I’m not an easy person to please, but he checked all the boxes for me. His vehicle was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. He exceeded my expectations by taking us to all the listed tour locations and a couple of additional places we were interested in. His personality was warm, helpful, and patient. I would highly recommend him and would book him again and again! Thank you Majid!❤️
Asfraf was fantastic, very professional and very approachable. We only had 5hrs sleep due to late arrival. Yet ashraf made the whole time interesting. He was very knowledgeable, full of interesting facts. Nothing was a problem he bent over backwards to make it a special day. Thank you ashram so much.
Great experience if you want an overview of the city. I was lucky to have Ahmed as my guide, he was extremely knowledgeable and shared a lot of incredible insights. Highly recommended!
Our guide was incredibly attentive and professional, exceeding all our expectations. The tour itself is perfect for those who want to see the main tourist attractions of the city in a short amount of time. Highly recommended!
Great knowledge and trip support. Good choice of places and events to give a flavor of Dubai, and to experience the flavors and heritage of the culture
Today was a fabulous day! This was the perfect day one in Dubai. Our Tour Guide, Rafiq, was simply spectacular! He was exceedingly knowledgeable, flexible, and willing to accommodate us in many ways. His priority was to make sure that we had a great experience and tailored the day to our needs. He was thoughtful in small and big ways. For example, he brought bottled water for us to consume during the trip, but left us with two at the end so that we did not have to purchase any on our own. He made great recommendations for places to see, restaurants to visit, and how to structure our day. He made us feel like family, and was constantly checking in with us to make sure that everything was to our liking. We are so grateful for him setting the tone to our vacation. I will look for opportunities to see him again during our stay for other experiences because he has single-handedly provided the best experience I have ever booked through Viator.
I had an amazing half-day tour of Dubai with Sharaf, and I can’t recommend him highly enough! From the moment we met, he was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took me to all the major sites, sharing fascinating insights about Dubai’s history and culture along the way. His passion for the city made the experience even more special. Whether it was exploring iconic landmarks or learning hidden gems, Sharaf made sure every moment was engaging and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a top-notch guide in Dubai, look no further—Sharaf is the best!
had an amazing experience with my guide in Dubai! From the moment we met, their warmth and enthusiasm made the entire tour unforgettable. They were incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems, offering insights that I never would have discovered on my own. Their passion for Dubai was evident, and they were always eager to answer questions and tailor the experience to my interests. The tour was well-paced, and I never felt rushed. I highly recommend this guide to anyone visiting Dubai – they truly made my trip special!
We had a wonderful half day tour with Farhan. He was knowledgeable and very helpful. I really enjoyed the fact that the tour was an overview of a bunch of different places which helped us see a lot of things in a short amount of time. We went back to the gold souk (market) for a second visit a few days later in order to have the time to comparison shop and ultimately buy a gold necklace. This is a great tour to do at the start of your trip to help you decide how to spend the rest of your time in Dubai.
We did a half day trip with Farhan and it was great. We got a taste of the best sights and also got to learn about the local culture. Would highly recommend.
Amazing trip! Farhan is a very knowledgeable guide and dies a great job explaining his city. You can see the pride he has for Dubai. We loved the tour. Thank you for being so accommodating to our requests.
Sharif was the best tour guide we had the absolute best time with him and would refer him to anyone!! We were very lucky to have him as our tour guide!!
What a in incredible experience! Our guide Farhan was awesome! He knows everything about Dubai, all the history, the secrets and even the fun facts! It was a perfect guide for us! We will never forget this day!

This trip is exclusively for photoshop lovers.. which covers a lot of travel destination in Dubai .. overall a very memorable experience.
Fathan was absolutely the best tour guide I had in Dubai! He's pleasant and informative regarding the history and Dubai today!
It was a wonderful day with a guide name Farhan. The pickup was on time from our hotel. Farhan came with a clean comfortable car. We spent full day in Abu Dhabi and visited main sites. He purchased our tickets when needed and gave us detailed information about Abu Dhabi, the sites, history etc. It was our pleasure to be guided by him and he is recommended by us.
We had farhan as a tour guide. He explained everything to us exactly and is very corporate, he was also very helpful (e.g. with the wheelchair). It was a very great great tour can only be recommended
Farhan was our guide for a city tour around Dubai. He was on time and very patient with my 2 young kids, and I appreciated that he was detailed and clear with his explanations, which helped us understand the city better. I chose the wrong time slot while booking the tour, and the company kindly accommodated my request to retime the pick up and Burj Khalifa visit, which I greatly appreciate. Thank you!
What an awesome experience! Our guide Subhan was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights and stories that enhanced our understanding of the places we visited. It felt more like exploring with a friend who truly cared about making our experience memorable. What we appreciated most was the customization of the tour. He took the time to understand our preferences and even went out of their way to stop at a shop for our favorite perfumes, which added a personal touch that we truly appreciated. Overall, we had exceptional experience that was both enjoyable and enriching. Thank you for going above and beyond to make our day special!
Farhan was an excellent tour guide. He explained about the city, culture and religion. He is knowledgeable but also fun with lots of great facts. Not only was he our tour guide he also looked after me and my sister ensuring we were safe. Farhan is a gentleman. A credit to the company and his family. My sister and I would highly recommend this company to any visitors to Dubai.
Visited so many beautiful attractions within a short space of time, our guide Ahmed was very friendly, polite and informative. Had only 1 day in Dubai and this tour made it to be perfect
Our adventure today was very exciting and eventful. We accomplished more than we set out for including going to the Mosque, Jamerah beach and palms, kings palace and the gold souk. Our tour guide was very helpful and excellent. He made our experience an unforgettable one, we are eternally grateful sabhan.
Our guide Farhan did a wonderful job of showing us a diverse selection of the city. Communication and logistics were smooth and we were able to enjoy a stress free trip. Thank you Farhan!
Subhan was a great guide. He was a treasure trove of interesting information. He was very posed, positive and polite. He had no problem adjusting the tour to our needs. So, we ended up having a memorable Dubai experience; which we would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the city for the first time.
Subhan was so patient with us. He went all the way showing us places outside what was stated on the itinerary. Which was very humbling and we really felt honoured. Thank you so much 🙏
