Very Nice Day Trip

Published on Dec, 2024

Suqlain is a very nice tour guide and our family had a great day in Dubai old town and took photo of many famous attractions. The private tour is customizable, usually start at the old town with an impressive walk and boat ride, and end in the new city many attractions.

Great Overnight Layover Tour

Published on Oct, 2024

We had a great time on our overnight layover tour in Dubai! We had a 10 hour layover (overnight) and we were really glad we found this tour. We saw all the sights of Dubai with Sandy as a helpful guide. It was well organized, convenient and easy going. What we were especially impressed with was that there was a driver and a guide. This meant that wherever we got out to see the sights, we would get dropped off and picked up right in front - no messing about with parking around crowded places! We were pleasantly surprised and glad we did this overnight tour instead of staying at the airport!

A great first day in Dubai

Published on Sep, 2024

Sandy and Jose were great hosts. We saw everything we hoped to see for our first visit to Dubai. We learned a lot and they made everything very easy for us

Great way to see Dubai on a layover

Published on Aug, 2024

I had a layover in Dubai. My travel companion was going on to London and I was going to New York. My friend's flight was almost right away but I had a whole afternoon and evening, and wanted to get out of the airport to see the city. I researched my options and found with locals Communication with Sandy and Jose beforehand was very easy, and I felt very comfortable making the arrangements to meet up. Sandy picked me up at the airport and gave me a tour of Old Dubai, New Dubai, and per my request customized it to finish with the fountain show before taking me back to the airport with plenty of time before my flight. It was extremely hot in Dubai at that time, and I definitely wouldn't have been able to go out and visit on my own with the heat and humidity. Having the opportunity to tour in a comfortable, air-conditioned van was amazing. I had the opportunity to take lots of pictures and walk around local sights (while also being able to go back to the van to cool down and move on to the next stop). I'm really glad I found out about this opportunity because I believe this tour really gave me a chance to get to know Dubai despite only being in Dubai for a layover! My favorite part was the food tasting -- it was so delicious, I got seconds!!

My First Visitto Dubai

Published on Jul, 2024

I had two days free and scheduled a tour to Abu Dhabi and Dubai, old and new, with Sandy. I had an excellent tour of both cities. Sandy was very knowledgeable about the history of Dubai. He was flexible with the time and the locations we visited. After the first day's tour to Abu Dhabi, Sandy recommended that I see the mall and Burj Khalifa that evening. The next day, Sandy asked me if I had made it to the mall and the Burj Khalifa. I told him I was too tired that evening. To my surprise, at the end of the second-day tour, Sandy told me to visit the mall, the Burj Khalifa, and several other locations instead of dropping me off at my hotel. He went the extra mile to ensure I had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend using them as your tour guide while in Dubai.
