Admire the Burj Khalifa, Burj Al Arab, and Dubai Marina; sail across Dubai Creek; visit souks; and more—all with the extra convenience of hotel, cruise port, and city-center pickup and drop-off.

    Persian Gulf Adventure
    Almost everything was fantastic. Just a couple things: First, I would put more boards for sand boarding only one for the amount of people is kind of boring?! Second, refuse to help people with the pashmina because some of the customers did not buy it there? Actually for the money some of us pay definitely should be included. Everywhere else we went the guides or chauffeurs help us put it. We understand is a business but people were not asking for much. Other than that I think I would definitely take this tour with the same company again.

The trouble with these tours is you have no way of knowing in advance what quality of guide you will get on the day. The woman who led our group spoke ‘English as a second language’ and had an accent which grated - and insisted on filling every moment with a running commentary. So it was an exhausting experience which ended up as just a glorified coach ride around town.

Unbelievable tour! Our guide, Whiskey, was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, respectful & fun. We covered all the highlights of Dubai in under 6 hours with an understanding of the history of the development of Dubai, the UAE & the royal family. He was quick to volunteer to snap pics. Awesome
Our driver (I'm sorry, forgot his name) made us all feel so safe 100% of the time

This is the perfect city tour if you want to see a LOT of attractions but not spend more than 15 minutes at each attraction (I know I hate it when you have an hour to see something and you get through in 15 minutes...). This tour gives you a well rounded view of everything in the city so that you can pick which places you want to go back too in your spare time. Tour guide Nafeesa was very good. Knew her stuff!!! Highly recommended above the others

We had only one day to explore the city, and this tour was a perfect way to understand Dubai’s history, area, culture, people, etc. In such a short time. Our guide “Whisky” was very friendly and professional, and he made the tour very fun! Thanks to him, we felt like the 6 hour was worth 6 days!

Whiskey and Mustafa make your trip amazing !! Whiskey gives you a lot of facts about dubai(the leaders,buildings ,places , everything !!) , answers your questions and interacts a lot with his group. He’s very funny and makes a lot of jokes, which makes everything very enjoyable! Mustafa is a great driver because the ride was very calm all the time and we saw everything quite fast. The 2 make your 5h trip seem like 20mins !! Me and my daughter enjoyed it very much.

We have been on hundreds of tours, but must say that the tour with ABC was one we have truly enjoyed. This was due to the exemplary employees like Whisky our Tour Guide, Kareem our Driver, and Anna our tour coordinator who worked very hard on ensuring we got the correct tour after having made a booking error. Whiskey was very through, informative, and made the whole day fun. I felt a little ill, and Whisky saw to my immediate needs and helped me recover so I could enjoy the rest of the Tour. We will return again, and will only use ABC Tours. Their employees really care about you and make a difference.

What an absolutely fantastic trip to see all the old and new sights of Dubai. For first time visitors like ourselves, it was the perfect way on day 1 to get an idea of the city and see all the main attractions. It set us up nicely to decide the places we would like to return and visit the following day. Our tour guide Rafiq was excellent as he was very knowledgeable, friendly and gave us loads of great tips for our stay. Our driver Chadu was also excellent and very friendly and they are both a credit to the company. We can highly recommend this tour and this company to any visitor to Dubai. Many thanks for a great day.

I really enjoyed the trip inside the Mosque as well as the boat trip across to old Dubai. Our guide, “Whisky” was outstanding. His knowledge and information he provided informed me of various facts about Dubai that I otherwise would never have known. He was very friendly and helpful at all times. Our driver was also always on time and where he needed to be at all times. A very worthwhile tour, and I highly recommend it, especially for 1st time visitors to Dubai.

Hotel pickup was good, but be warned they want you to be contactable on WhatsApp and they seem to have a strict time/waiting policy. Dont miss your bus!

We saw all the main sights, with a friendly guide who told us enough information to help understand what were seeing.

Some stops maybe a little hurried, but its a big city to get around.

Bus was clean and air-conditioned safe to leave bags. Free water throughout day was excellent.

Recommend take or wear clothes suitable for entering into a mosque. A lot of people either excluded or had to change (free access to public robes).

Take minimum items... Money, Camera, Hat but dont take to much as you will end up carrying.

Whiskey (tour guide) half-day tour was an experience that left me thoroughly informed. With a wealth of knowledge about the Old & New Dubai and its history, Whiskey managed to infuse each stop with fascinating anecdotes and insights that truly brought the tour to life. His friendly demeanor made the tour feel like a personalized journey with a knowledgeable friend. Whiskey’s attention to detail and ability to cater to the interests of the group ensured that everyone had a memorable and enjoyable time. I wholeheartedly recommend Whiskey as a tour guide for anyone looking to explore and learn in an engaging way.
