We did the City Kick-start Tour with Ikram.
I would love to give more than Ten stars if it was possible.
This was an amazing tour.
Ikram is very knowledgeable and proud of Dubai and its History and takes you on this journey with enthusiasm and passion but also adds moments of fun, humour and many interesting facts.
Ikrams tour opened our eyes and we discovered so much more about Dubai.
We didn't want it to end.
We highly recommend Ikram.
Thank you Ikram for giving us such an incredible tour and great memories.

Great tour! A perfect tour guide Michael!
Due to the fact that I made the reservation at the last minute, I took the tour with Michael and not with Orlina. Thank you Orlina to find Michael!
Everything was perfect: the walking tour, the stories about Dubai, about history, about social life and old and new town. A very good guide with care about what we want to see and understand. We recommend him!

Great insight into old Dubai
Ikram was charming and very knowledgeable. We walked around areas of old Dubai we wouldn’t have discovered without Ikram’s guidance. The three hours went by very quickly. We started our tour at 9:30am which was ideal. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Dubai.

Ali is very knowledgeable
Ali is a great guide. He came prepared and had a water bottle for each of us. He knows a lot about Dubais history and could answer all our questions. He also gave us food and sightseeing recs which was very appreciated. I would recommend him and even book him again.
