4 - Hour Private Experience featuring Heritage, Culture, Art & Architecture of Dubai

Best guide and tour ever. Pri took us everywhere we wanted to go - even making last minute changes to the itinerary. She was extremely knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Don’t hesitate - book your Dubai tour with Pri - you won’t be disappointed!

Five stars. Pri knows Old Dubai, and she knows how to show it. I booked four hours with Pri and came away wishing I had booked more. She met me at the hotel, and from the first stop in the Al Fahidi district she was doing the thing a great guide does: not reciting dates, but explaining why the wind towers and coral walls are shaped the way they are, and what life in that neighborhood actually looked like in the 1700s and 1800s. The private abra across the Creek is worth the crossing on its own. On the other side she walked me through all three souks, textile, spice and gold, at a pace that left room to stop and actually look at things rather than being marched past them. The highlight for me was the Perfume House in Al Shindagha. I work in fragrance, and Pri picked up on that immediately and gave the visit far more depth than a standard stop would have had. She answered questions well past what the itinerary called for. Lunch at Al Fanar was excellent and genuinely Emirati, not a tourist version of it. The car, driver, tickets and meal were all handled. Nothing to arrange, nothing to worry about. If you want Old Dubai explained by someone who is curious about your interests and adjusts to them, book Pri.

We were two senior woman for our first trip to Dubai. Upon recommendation from friends, we contacted Pri Z. through Tours by Locals. Pri picked us up with a lovely car and excellent driver. We had a couple of changes that proposed to Pri once we met and she easily and graciously obliged. She even slipped in a couple of interesting sites that were delightful including a wonderful small boutique where I purchased an adorable outfit for my soon to be born great-grandson. My friend and I hope to return to Dubai next January and will definitely be in touch with Pri for another tour.

Pri was a great, efficient, knowledgable and enthusiastic guide. We got to see both the main highlights of Dubai and parts that are less well visited but really important. A great insight into how Dubai became the place it is today. Would definitely recommend.

Great day with Pri - learning so much about the history of Dubai, along with present day pulse of the city and the UAE!!

Phi is one of the best tour guides you could ever want! She speaks English fluently and loves her work! She anticipated our needs and wanted us to have a quality experience and understand the QAE culture. She thinks of everything! We had a fast pass to the Burj Khalifa -- the way to see it, as you don't want to stand in line for 2 hours. Seeing old Dubai, visiting a coffee shop, taking a wooden boat across Dubai creek, and seeing the souks was so fun! Phi give a first-class tour!
