"I didn't have a lot of time in Dubai - and this half day tour was awesome. The driver was a bit early and actually came into the hotel lobby to find me. Our guide was Sam. As we drove between sight seeing spots, Sam provided interesting information about Dubai. Before we went to the Souks, he gave us advice and was available at any time if we needed help. They also provided water along the way. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Dubai. " Our guide was full of information about Dubai, and had a good sense of humour. He managed to make us all feel comfortable, explained what was happening, and was always ready with free bottles of cold water (very welcome!). He took photographs for us at various sites, and recognised when we were ready to move on.

• The morning tour can feel cooler and so more bearable.
