Monica – United States

Both Grand Mosque and Louvre Museum were top classes and I was very happy to see them but the lunch time was little short and the traditional food restaurant said it was buffet and charged as buffet but we just sit-down and they did bring foods on the table (we did not have choice on our foods). They should not call it buffet. We just ate because there was no time to correct it ( we had to finish quickly to see the Mosque). Also if everybody in the group gets QR cord, it will prevent delaying the moving incase someone could not follow ( 2 people had to wait at the inside check point and lost valuable time to see the beautiful prayer room waiting the guide to come to rescue us. However, in overall that was a great tour!

We had a great time. It was a very unique experience and would totally recommend it to anyone visiting Dubai. Our guide Jahan and our driver Mateen were both very kind and helpful. Jahan accompanied us throughout all the activities and provided us with very interesting information. He is also very fun and a great photographer. Totally worth the money, we were 100% satisfied with everything!
