Excellent walking tour of Dubai

An excellent and insightful tour. Our guide, Hassan, did not bore us at all but kept us interested as we walked through the streets. I would recommend the tastings .

Our First Time in Dubai

Our experience with Hassan was so amazing! I first want to mention the massive delay between the airport, shuttle to our hotel, and check-in to our hotel which delayed our tour tremendously. Throughout the entire process Hassan communicated so well and continued to wait on us. We explored Old Dubai, it's historic alleys, vibrant souks, and unique landmarks. Hassan also explained Dubai's history, shared his background, and we toured a few museums together. We stopped at a shop to enjoy some wonderful dates with Ethiopian coffee which was unforgettable. Hassan was very professional and welcoming. He negotiated on our behalf to get the best prices for the goods we purchased. We ate lunch together and sailed in a traditional boat before we departed. We would recommend a private tour guide because our experience was very personal and not rushed. He took his time to ensure we received the full value of the money we paid for our tour and more. Hassan has a love and passion for what he does and our time together was so authentic. We cannot wait to bring our family to Dubai and we highly recommend this private tour. We want to mention Malik (driver) as well. He was extremely hospitable ensuring that we felt welcomed. He explained every landmark, told us interesting stories, and made us laugh hard! He took us to the grand mosque and by the sheikh's palace so we could enjoy the wonderful views. Malik was very lively and kind and we would never forget his patience and welcoming demeanor. Thank you Hassan and Malik! We will never forget you.
