Rafiq did a fantastic job of showing us both 'new' and 'old' Dubai in a very comfortable and unrushed way. He was articulate and easy to understand and focused on meeting our priorities during the tour. He was very informative and knowledgeable as well. Absolute best private tour ever!
I have taken many tours with locals over the years, and Rafiq was by far the best. He was organized, communicated well but pre and during our time together, knowledgeable and receptive to our needs. He gave us an excellent feeling about Dubai, its people and culture in our short time together. He was flexible with time and our wishes. His car was comfortable and his driving excellent. All 6 of us felt safe and following the tour had an understanding of the culture of the UAE. I cannot recommend him enough and only wish all guides were like him!
Excellent guide! Knowledgeable and friendly. He went to great extents to adjust the agenda to meet our needs!
I'm so glad we booked this tour with Rafiq! This was our first visit to Dubai, and I wanted to see some of the old and new aspects of Dubai. It was also important to find someone who would be willing to adjust things to our preferences. Rafiq was a fantastic guide. He wove things together very well and we had a fantastic day! But more than just a guide, I feel like we made a friend. Rafiq really took care of us and I hope we can return to Dubai again in the future and do more touring with him.
My clients had a wonderful time on tour. They did a GREAT job for him in Dubai and took him to Abu Dhabi - Muhammed was super.
Rafiq was an excellent tour guide. He has exceptional knowledge of Dubai. We saw all of the main attractions including the Blue Mosque which was amazing. Rafiq took us to a traditional restaurant that had amazing food. I highly recommend taking a tour with Rafiq.
