Start your experience with a pickup from your central Dubai hotel. Hop inside your private, air-conditioned vehicle with your private guide and begin your tour.

As you travel, view Dubai’s futuristic buildings and hear how it transformed from a sleepy fishing village into today’s cosmopolitan city after the oil boom of the 1950s.

Drive to Jumeirah Beach and take photos of the Burj Al-Arab hotel, rising like a sail from just off the shore. Hear how the hotel is one of the world’s highest at 1,053 feet (321 meters) tall.

Travel into Jumeirah, one of Dubai's most upscale residential neighborhoods. View the exclusive villas and Jumeirah Mosque, and continue to the old district near Dubai Creek.

Stroll down the narrow lanes past courtyards and traditional mud-brick houses. View the wind towers of the homes as your guide explains how they were designed to maximize the cool breezes.

Next, visit the Dubai Museum, set inside Dubai’s oldest building: the 18th-century Al Fahidi Fort. Explore the displays and models that chart the city’s history, and then ride an abra across Dubai Creek to Deira.

Delve into the Spice Souk to discover the stalls selling perfumed spices, herbs and nuts, and finish your retail sorties at the maze-like Gold Souk.

Browse the stores for bright gold, silver and jewelry and afterward, finish your tour with a hotel drop-off.

We had this tour because we wanted to be more flexible with our ten year old. Ibrahim,our guide was very good german speaking and it was fun and interesting to hear what he has to say. The tour was packed but perfect for kids. We had tickets for the Burj Kalifa afterwards so the driver brought us there directly and not back to the hotel. Very recommendetly.

Tour was a great experience and a must-have for any first time visitors. We were picked up from our hotel and we were driven to multiple historical makers. Yukiko was a great guide and helped show all of the different spots and what to look out for, and even helped us out when we were shopping in the spice and gold souks! Overall fantastic service and well worth the expense.

Had a fantastic time exploring 5/6 places of interest in Dubai. Our guide, 'Snow' was very knowledgeable about the places of interest and provided great background insights into the UAE and Dubai as we drove from sight to sight. The driver was great supplying water when needed. Highlight 4 me was the trip across dubai creek on the small boat. My partner picked up a few bargains in the gold and spice souks. And we've great photos from the photostops along the way. Highly recommend.
