My family is full of sophisticated avid travelers so we are always looking for a more in-depth content tour experience. Our guide was really special. She knew answers to all our questions and was able to explain things with American analogies. Super clear. She makes a great UAE representative!

Eslam was a superb guide. My wide and I travel regularly and have been on every continent and more countries and cities than I can count. We use tour guides wherever we go...dome shared, most private. Before we even met, he sent texts with clear instructions where to meet. We had a prior tour so asked for a time adjustment which he was happy to accommodate. He gave us details about all the sights in Dubai we saw but we also conversed about the varied cultures and traditions of the greater Arab world. With a background in archeology and having lived in Egypt, Saudi Arabia and now the UAE, he had a wide and comprehensive understanding of how the historical and current interactions between the people of the Middle East influenced and influences this city and its development. We talked so easily that I felt like I was taking a stroll through Dubai talking with a good friend. The people we met with on our tour, some passers by, some in shops and other vendors, all were thrilled to see Eslam. That network and the camaraderie made for a broader and more unique experience than one might normally.receive at stops along a tour. In the end, Eslam's kindness, his abilities and his passion for what he does made this the best tour of our trip here and at the top of all the tours my wife and I have taken on our world travels. I strongly recommend you book him. You will not regret it.

I was very pleased with my husband's choice to choose this private guided tour. Pri is knowledgeable, warm and helpful. I feel at ease asking her questions and Pri was what my husband commented, an excellent guide and we learned some historical facts of UAE that we didn't know of. I will definitely request for Pri in my next visit and will recommend Pri to my families and friends.

One of the best experiences we had. Pri was knowledgeable, warm and enthusiastic. She even found ways to engage our teenage son with the tour. The sites shown were beautiful and Pri brought them to life with her descriptions. We are planning our next trip to Dubai soon, just to experience the city and its art and culture with Pri and her team.
