This is an amazing trip...covering areas which no one else does. A very healthy mix of old n new. The guide, Mr Nimesh from Sri Lanka....was very friendly n very clearly as well. He was more like a friend traveling along rather than an employee. Amazing.

Although the Tour started late, it still incorporated the allocated time and we saw all the advertised sites and was given ample free time. The tour guide I found was extremely informative and made it very enjoyable. As first timers in Dubai, I would recommend this tour.

They came to pick us from the hotel, transfer us to our tour bus (the timeing hasn't been the best). After departing from Burj al Arab we had the best guide, both in english and german. From there we had a nice tour. Drop-off at the hotel was included as well. Good value for money.
