We would never recommend nor use this tour. Better screening needs to be done by the agency. Not only were we robbed of our money, over 400.00. This guide showed us the slum of Dubai, top garage level loaded with pigeon waste, but was just as vulgar. How I wish we had gone on our own, using the hop on hop off tour, and saved ourselves the time and money. Saw very little of the culture and highlights. Perhaps the museum was best. We read the information ourselves. Guide presented little if any information. Dubai is checked off our list. Never to be visited. Curious to see if Viator would even post this review. Not a tour company I would use.
The tour was goodand very informative. We enjoyed it very much
This was a fantastic tour. Mounir picked me up at my hotel exactly on time. I didn't realize it was a private tour but I'm glad it was because Mounir let me change my itinerary as I pleased. He is extremely informative and I literally asked me over 50 different questions - from religion, equality of women to everyday life in Dubai. We pretty much explore all the areas listed on the site. I did however really wanted to try local food and Mounir was kind enough to take me to a place even though it wasn't on the itinerary! It was great! While I did to get to see the top highlights of Old Town, what I really value about this tour is the deep knowledge that Mounir has about Dubai culture and his ability to really impart that to me. If you are a historian or an avid traveler, this trip is well worth it.
