Our guide Noor was excellent, friendly and efficient. He was super helpful at the Grand Mosque, making us feel comfortable and informed about this amazing place. It was truly awesome. The Louvre was great too. We could have spent a little longer there to take into account getting a bite to eat, but overall it was a really good tour. It was relaxing and interesting thanks to Noor.

It was AMAZING ... what a great Tour Guide and driver we had, and the organization was incredible ... I would recommend it to any single/couple/family traveller. They were amazing on time, their language skills are great and it was such a nice taste of DUBAI
