    Four hours well spent in Dubai
    Four of us went to Dubai for the first time and booked a 4 hour layover tour. We couldn’t have asked for a guide better than Taimour. Amazingly friendly and knowledgeable about Dubai places and history. In addition to covering what we planned to, we all had a lovely time because of his polite and friendly nature. He customised the tour based on our requests and timeline. I would recommend him to anyone visiting Dubai.

    Quick Layover Tour Was Awesome!
    We loved our quick tour of Dubai during our layover! Tamour was a wonderful guide. We learned so much about Dubai and the UAE from him and got some amazing photos. Highly suggest this tour instead of passing the time in the airport!

    Don't spend your layover in the airport. Take a tour!
    Tamour is the best!! Very knowledgeable, great sense of humor, and really covers a lot in such a short amount of time! (We did a 2-hour tour). Absolutely worth it if you have a layover in Dubai. Wish we would have booked a longer tour!

    Great Experience with Tamour in Dubai
    It was a compact and well-organised 5 hours exploration of Dubai. Our driver and tour guide Mr. Tamour makes the high temperature (34C) unnoticeable with his knowledge and humour.

    Great way to spend a layover
    The tour was a great taste of what Dubai has to offer and inspired us to plan a full trip to the UAE in the future. Sarfaraz was very nice, knowledgeable, and accommodating to help keep us out of this crazy heat as much as possible!

    BEST EXPERIENCE EVER
    Tamour was awesome very attentive and made sure I was comfortable. He made sure I ate and even helped me bargain my things at the souk and explained everything to me. He was well spoken with the history of Dubai and took me to a few places to take picture. THANK YOU TAMOUR 💗 hope to see him again

    Abu Dhabi is Amazing
    The Abu Dhabi tour was so much more incredible than we had expected! There were some items on the itinerary originally that weren’t so appealing to us such as the Ferrari experience or the Heritage village to make more time for a sit-down lunch. Suqlain happily adjusted the plan for us and even joined us for the meal. He’s so friendly, easy going, and full of great knowledge. The mosque and palace were easily our highlights of the day and we were overwhelmed by the beauty and size of both locations. If you’re on the fence about a day in Abu Dhabi definitely go experience the Mosque and Palace at the very minimum, they are mind blowing!

    An incredible experience tailored for us!
    We had an incredible time! Our guide was friendly and up positive. Suqlain even tailored the experience to some of our preferences for foods to try that we had heard of. Overall we felt we got a great taste of Dubai from a local’s perspective. We left with absolutely full stomachs. I would highly recommend this experience.

    Dubai Trip with Furqan
    I had such a wonderful time in Dubai and I doubt it would be so super be it not for our trusty guide Furqan. Not only did he show me Dubai, he also shared so much culture and fixed my Kanjura. Thank you!

    The best experience I’ve ever had.
    The entire trip was amazing. Our tour guide (Furquan) was the best. He was funny and he knew pretty much everything about the places we visited. And the places we visited were also amazing and creative.

Manor, our guide was exceptional in showing us the best places of the historical Al Fahidi neighborhood. Great history lesson as well as stories of the people. The souk area was interesting and a revelation of sights and spicy smells.

Mansoor was a wonderful guide!! He answered every question we had and was very knowledgeable on all kinds of subjects. He and his tour were very fun, and he knew all the right shops to visit (and helped us bargain!) I would recommend this experience for visitors.

We had the pleasure of experiencing an exclusive and highly personalized tour of Dubai’s historic parts last evening. Our guide made it an incredibly informative journey, sharing insights that greatly enriched our understanding of the area. Visiting the gold and spice souks was a highlight, and throughout, we felt perfectly looked after by our friendly and approachable guide. This was a unique and individualized experience that we highly recommend.

The tour started at the designated meeting area right on time. We explored the Indian neighbourhood picking up some bites to eat. We then visited various markets to visit shops and buy some hibbiscus which came in handy. We also took a boat ride down the river which was cool experience. Throughout the tour Damur provides great and useful facts about UAE culture and history. Highly recommended tour for some laid back, informative and friendly tour.
