Solo tour with Tamour was a lovely experience. - I had a 12 hour over night layover in Dubai and wanted to get out of the airport for a bit because that is a long time to be idle but was not sure how to go about it as a solo traveler visiting for the first time. After looking up a few things I found this company that offers night time tours and happy that I chose them. Before I arrived the company reached out to confirm my booking and introduced me to my tour advisor, Tamour. I had originally booked my tour to start at 11 pm, but Tamour helped me navigate the airport so we were able to start the tour early. I was not sure what to expect but I had a lovely time visiting the sites even though things were closed because it is late, they were still nice to look at and get pictures, because they are lit up. Tamour was very knowledgeable and very friendly and welcoming. As a solo tourist it was a great experience and when I come back I will definitely rebook them. Thank you Tamour.

Dubai Night Tour - We used it during transit time in Dubai. I was very happy to be shown many photo spots and to take wonderful photos. It was also good to stop by Tamour Ali's favorite chai shop.

No excuse to sit in the airport for a long layover - we had an amazing time, so much better than sitting at the airport. This tour was easy and informative. My favorite part was the Souks and the boat rides.

Dubai with family! - The tour was amazing. There is lots to see i Dubai and our guide did a great job showing us around. I love the facts about dubai that he told us on the way. I think it’s important to have context when touring a new city. I learned so much just today about dubai.
