The tour guide was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, friendly and polite.
I am in my 80’s and he adjusted the tour meet my physical limitations. I would also not recommend the Burj Khalifa observation deck because we waited in line 1 hour 15 minutes and we had a reservation!

We were very disappointed with the entry to the tower. Even more disappointed that this company will do nothing to compensate and would NEVER recommend It was a complete rip off.

Ute accompanied us on a magical journey, from the old to the new Dubai. Born in Germany, she has lived in Dubai for 28 years and introduced our tour group to the cultural intricacies of the UAE. And to the many places we visited, she was able to give us fantastic insider information.
