My wife and I just traveled to Dubai as part of a bucket list tenth wedding anniversary vacation. Of course, we wanted every aspect of this trip to be special. When it came to taking a city tour, we couldnāt have asked for a better guide than Rafiq and his team at Tours by Rafiq. When he told us at the beginning of the day, that we would be treated like family, he meant it! Every aspect of our tour was handled with care and we felt completely taken care of from the moment we stepped into his car until our drop off at night. Although the tour included what Iām sure are the standard stops, we never felt like there was anything we HAD to do. Rafiq was flexible and made it clear that if we wanted to switch things up, we could. He also took lots of great pictures on his phone and shared them with us, so we could be more present to what we were doing.
One experience in particular is telling. At one point, we stopped at a store to make some purchases. Unfortunately, it wasnāt until after we left and were sitting down at lunch that my wife and I realized that we had drastically overpaid for our items. (It was our fault. We hadnāt done the currency conversion math properly.) As soon as we figured it out, we told Rafiq about it and he kindly brought us back to the vendor and waited with us until we settled everything and even made sure we had some refreshments while we were working it all out. He said: āIāll stay here until youāre happy!ā Having that kind of support while youāre traveling internationally gives you peace of mind.
If youāre looking for a great tour experience while youāre in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, we highly recommend Tours by Rafiq! Youāll have a great time!
