What a wonderful way to spend our 6-hr evening layover in Dubai! Great directions on where to meet. No time was lost (Customs was so smooth and quick btw, we were able to start the tour 30 min after landing!) Sandy was so knowledgeable of EVERYTHING!! R, our driver, took us to so many cool spots/landmarks. The car was comfortable and had AC. Thank you so much, we'll be back again!!Amazing Experience!

We had a few hours spare late at night in Dubai. We decided to do Sandy and Jose’s Late night layover tour and what an experience it was! Sandy was filled with so much knowledge about current and past history of the UAE, it left us in awe. I learnt so much, and am so amazed by this country and the futuristic thinking it upholds. I would highly recommend to anyone ☺️An AMAZING experience!

We booked this night tour of Dubai after reading the reviews and were not disappointed. Sandy was a gracious host and tour guide. He was very communicative to our arrive and took any anxiety we might have had by giving us clear and specifics on meeting location and what to expect upon arrival. After following the sign with our name he took us on a very informative, entertaining and educational 4 hour tour of Dubai including ALL of the highlights but also a tour of Old Dubai so we could experience the changing cultures.
His descriptions were clear and understandable in English. We would highly recommend him.Fabulous Local Dubai Experience

Everything from start to finish was wonderful. Sandy met us at the Airport with a fantastic smile right on time. We were taken to a brand-new Toyota which was luxurious, met the driver who was wonderful the whole tour.
We not only saw the old and new of Dubai, but we also had a boat trip across to the canal. Before the boat ride he introduced us to a "not so spicy" kebab, which was delicious. The number of photos we got was incredible as the driver kept stopping at all the top spots. We encourage to book Sandy & Jose for a tour especially a "Night Tour", best way to see Dubai. We had a 11-and-a-half-hour layover, it certainly made the time go by having this tour. Thank You both again.Simply BEST Tour Ever! Thank You Sandy :)

We had a very good overview of Dubai at night with Sandy who conducted the tour and his cousin who did the driving . Sandy was on WhatsApp even before we left home and very punctual in meeting us . They went over and beyond to show us as much as they could. It was great as we just didn’t drive only, walked as well as had a boat ride.They were very friendly and answered all our questions . They were also constantly tracking our ongoing flight and dropped us back well in time . Thank you Sandy for showing Dubai through your eyes 😄Dubai with locals

Sandy and Gomez do a great job showing the sights of Dubai. Sandy knows a ton of information and is a solid tour guide. However, he did have trouble outside of his comfort zone (aka we asked for recommendations on where to eat at 2am, and he wasn't that helpful).
It is worth noting that our trip had two big challenges: it rained (rarely ever rains in Dubai so this negatively impacted the experience) and I fell asleep (I was too ambitious thinking I could do this trip from 1am-8am).
That said, I still think it was clear to us that Sandy was an awesome guide - but that this tour is probably a bit more expensive than it is worth.Solid tour

I had a long overnight layover in Dubai on my way to Tanzania and decided to book a tour to see Dubai’s sights. Sandy and Gomez had excellent communication before, during and after the tour. The van was air conditioned with water, and it was great to stretch my legs after such a long flight. I was able to see SO much of Dubai in an efficient amount of time. Sandy and Gomez shared a lot of Dubai’s history, pointing out things and tidbits I never would have know otherwise. They took excellent photos of me, too! Essential as a solo traveler. They dropped me off at my hotel after the tour. I highly recommend Sandy and Gomez for any Dubai tour needs - if I ever cross through again, I will reach out to them!Great Tour!

We arrived in Dubai at night and in order not to wait for the next flight at the airport, we booked an individual Dubai excursion with Jose Gomez and Sandy Nat. We were met at the airport and were given a wonderful tour of Dubai in 4 hours, we also went on a fishing boat.
Many thanks to Jose Gomez and Sandy Nat for a great experience.
I definitely recommend this excursion to other travelers who have time between flights.Amazing experience of Dubai at the night

We had a 10 hour overnight layover in Dubai and this tour made it all worthwhile. Sandy kept track of our flight and kept in constant contact - he was waiting to collect us from the airport upon arrival. We were driven around in a lovely clean, air conditioned car and visited every iconic and beautiful spot in the city. We were even treated to a short boat ride and a sample of the local street food. Sandy was so knowledgeable and friendly and made us feel very welcome. At the end of the 4 hour trip we were dropped back to the airport terminal. We would highly recommend this tour, especially if you want to see it all in a short time frame.A fabulous and informative tour

My son and I had a 10 hour layover in Dubai and found Sandy on the internet. We made the right choice. They treated us like family and feel like we made a new friend. We learned about the husband culture if this great city. This is a must tour in Dubai. We saw all the highlights of the city in the short time we had. Thanks again Sandy, we greatly appreciate your hospitality. Book these guys, you wont regret it.

Wonderful!
I booked with Gomez and Sandy last minute on my layover as I wanted to see some highlights of Dubai. I booked at 4pm and my booking was confirmed within minutes, Sandy organised to pick me up from my hotel at 6pm. I was picked up in a comfortable, air conditioned van. When Sandy and I would get out to walk through an area or look at something, Gomez would be at the other end ready to pick us up and take us to the next place! I was able to see so much in such a short time frame, they really helped me make the most of my time in Dubai. The whole time I was with them I felt safe and comfortable. In the time I was with them I was able to see the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall (including the fountain show), the Frame, old Dubai, new Dubai, camels, the Spice and Gold Souks (we took an Abra across the creek) and so so much more. I ticked off all the items on my list and then some. Sandy is so knowledgeable and was able to tell me everything about each place we visited.
We also had some delicious Chicken Shawarma’s.
I would definitely recommend booking with Gomez and Sandy if you’re wanting to make the most out of your layover in Dubai!Amazing!

Like a fairytale! Seeing the major attractions in Dubai with Sandy was like a fairytale for my daughter and me! While thousands of lights lit up Dubai, Sandy and his driver drove us around in a comfortable car where we, mother and daughter, felt supersafe. With a happy smile, Sandy shared his knowledge of the sights with enthusiasm and energy! We highly recommend the trip! Marit Fairytale-like and supersafe

Sandy was top notch. We made our booking very last minute and he was able to accommodate us with no issues. We got to experience Dubai from the perspective of someone who knows firsthand. If you have a layover in Dubai, I highly recommend booking this tour. Not only will it get you out of the airport but you get a nice drive around the city as well as seeing all the "touristy" spots. Sandy was professional and knowledgeable.

This tour was a perfect intro to Dubai. Sandy showed up early. The car was clean and provided great A/C. Sandy knows a lot of the history of Dubai and its sites. The tour was customized for us as we needed to do some shopping and also had visited a couple of sites he had in mind already. But no worries, there's no shortage of places to visit in Dubai. Great highlights

We only had 8 hours in Dubai and wanted to get some of the night experience in Dubai. We arrived at 7 pm and left 4 am the next day. Jose Gomez picked us up at the airport. He was very detailed and gave us lots of history and knowledge! Provided more than I what I was expecting on this tour. He’s very responsive And I highly recommend him for a tour! You will not be disappointed. This was my first experience with Withlocals and will definitely be using it for my next adventure! Late night city view of Dubai

Sruthy Gomez provided a great evening tour. My husband and I had a great time and felt so comfortable with Sruthy - like hanging out with an old friend. She was raised in Dubai and had so many great stories to share about how Dubai has evolved. She also educated us about local customs and made sure we were comfortable with the dos and don’ts! We felt extremely safe wandering around Dubai after dark. It was a great to get a sense of what was worth further exploring on our next layover (tomorrow!) I personally loved our visit to the spice souk. There are so many assertive shopkeepers - It would have been intimidating without her! If you have a chance to tour with Sruthy - do it! Hanging with Sruthy was great!

Gomez led our group of 8 on an entertaining and informative late-night layover tour of Dubai. His knowlegde of the country, and its history, combined with his great sense of humor held our attention all night. Gomez is a pro and I highly recommend him to anyone visiting Dubai. Layover

Gomez was superior. When you realize you have such a knowledgeable guide you can relax, listen and enjoy! Gomez took us to all the places we requested and more. We had a night tour, making use of our very brief time in Dubai and as we took our time, Gomez still kept going! He even took us to the gulf so we could put our toes in the water as we requested! I highly recommend Gomez as would all in our group (ten people from various stages in the US).Awesome tour of Dubai!

Gomez is very knowledgeable and planned the trip very well. We got down in dubai at 10 pm and he was there to collect us promptly and had taken us to burj khalifa, dubai marina, dubai mall and the fountain, drive through the palm and burj-al-arab. It was worth it.Amazing!!

We requested a quote from José Gomez for a night tour of Dubai as we had 7 hours of transit. The guide proved to be very helpful right away by contacting me for all the details of our needs. We were very satisfied, the plane was 1 and 15 minutes late and the guide waited for us without any problems. We had the opportunity to visit all the main attractions that can be visited in Dubai at night. I recommend this experienceDubai by night

A friend and I had an 9 hours layover in Dubai on our way to Bali. I wanted to do something with that time. Although, I did not think it was possible considering we got to Dubai at around midnight. I was turned on to withlocals and searched for a night time tour. After reading several reviews of guides I selected Gomez and I'm very glad I did. We communicated through email and set up all the particulars. He picked us up at the airport with his driver and off we went. He took us to many wonderful sites and showed us the best that Dubai had to offer. He also took incredible pictures for us through out the night. In about four hours we saw more of modern Dubai than I think we would have seen if we were there during regular business hours. We felt incredibility at ease, safe and comfortable with Gomez and his driver. I can't say enough great things about this experience. I highly recommend Gomez to be your personal guide in Dubai :)A beautiful night

Me and my colleagues arrived to Dubai from a business trip in India. Normally, we should have spent more than 9 hours at the airport before we could fly back home. Spending 9 hours at an airport would be obviously boring and you cannot get a good sleep there so we chose to have a city tour in Dubai with Gomez in the evening.
Gomez was flexible, he checked our flight continuously and as soon as we were ready for the tour he picked us up at the airport then the journey began. We passed through the city by a comfortable car and each one of us got a bottle of mineral water. Gomez was very informative and we could have thoughtful conversations about the culture in Dubai. By the end of the 4 hour long city tour we managed to visit the main attractions of Dubai.
I would definitely recommend this tour to anybody who wants to visit the main attractions of Dubai in a matter of hours.Dubai nightly tour with Gomez

We booked our overnight layover with a 5hr tour of Dubai with Gomez. We could not have been any happier with all the knowledge he provided us with. He was so eager to teach us and such a funny guy. We learned, we laughed, and we saw a ton! He also worked out night photos better than we did. Gomez is the best!!! Thanks for everything. LizGomez was AWESOME!!!

I had a great tour with Gomez and his driver, Satish! I was met at the airport promptly upon landing and seated comfortably in an air conditioned van. Gomez shared how the tour would unfold, offering a suggested itinerary then asking if there was anything in particular I wanted to see. His proposed itinerary was very comprehensive and he was pleased I had made an advanced reservation to go up the Burg Khalifa tower. The city was presented in an organized way, with visits to the 3 major markets (gold, spice, & textile), a quick water taxi ride, the renowned Dubai Mall with its indoor ski slope and beautiful fountains, and a drive out onto Palm Island and the beach with the stunning Dubai skyline begging to be photographed. I was particularly pleased at their willingness to wait while I was whisked up the Burg Khalifa, allowing me ample time to soak up the cites from high above the city. I never felt rushed and was treated with respect at all times. I was delivered back to the airport with more that enough time to spare. My tour was, in actuality, longer than the advertised 4 hours. I would highly recommend Gomez, especially for a single woman, traveling alone late at night in a strange city.Nighttime layover tour of Dubai

If you have a connection in Dubai like me, just call José Gómez, it doesn't matter if it's a night stop. I was on my flight taking off from India, right on the plane, thinking about how I could go around the city during my connection in Dubai, and I found Gomez, I wrote and immediately received a confirmation to pick me up at the airport. This guy was very flexible with my time and the trip through the city was amazing, comfortable and safe, a very pleasant conversation while the driver took care of the route and my bags at each stop. If you plan to go or have a connection around 6 hours in the city, do not hesitate to call Gomez, definetly recommended. I will try to return and have a similar trip with my family through UAE.Amazing Service Totally Recommended

We had a great time with Jose. I had mentioned that we would like to sample some local food and to go to the top of the Burj Khalifa. Jose helped me choose the correct time for the visit to the Burj Khalifa, as well as took us to a great spot for some delicious Shawarma. My son and I have been wanting a second one ever since. In five short hours, Jose was able to show us a lot of Dubai. I really can't believe how many things we saw. I looked at a lot of tours prior to booking this one. I am so glad I spent the extra money and booked with Jose. With Jose, you get a driver and a very knowledgable guide that will customize your experience. From watching the water-fountain show from the top and bottom of the Burj Khalifa to the Spice Souk to Palm Islands to riding across the inlet on a private boat to putting our feet in the Persian Gulf, our 5 hours in Dubai was incredible. We couldn't have done even half of these things on our own in the amount of time we had. If you want to make the most of your layover in Dubai, you should book a tour with Jose. Five Hours in Dubai

I initially contacted Gomez almost a year before our 9 hour layover in Dubai. We almost weren't going to do the tour as we had heard crazy stories about Dubai as far as law enforcement being very strict and numerous other things. A few weeks before our trip Gomez reached out one more time and my wife and I decided to do the tour.
From the very beginning Gomez was super friendly and there was never a moment of feeling uncomfortable. He quickly calmed us of our fears for safety letting us know Dubai is the second safest place in the world. He and his driver were professional and had a wealth of knowledge on Dubai.
Gomez took us basically everywhere there is to go in 6 hours the whole time teaching us of the culture, laws, religion, government, etc.. We went to the top of the Burg Khalifa after watching the water show at the Dubai mall. He took us to basically every place you've ever seen on TV or on an advertisement for Dubai in a very short time without ever feeling rushed or hurried. At the end of the trip he actually took us to the beach at midnight to feel the ocean water which was almost 100 degrees!
Overall, I highly recommend Gomez and his tour. There's no other way to see so much, and learn so much in such a short time. We honestly feel like we've seen all of Dubai and can scratch that off our list of places we one day want to visit. Thanks Gomez!Best Tour Ever

I’m a first-time traveler from the USA traveling with my dad; so incredibly grateful for Gomez. Jose Gomez is an excellent tour guide. Not only does he go above and beyond (he helped assure us of the visa requirements and nearby accommodations), but he is also exceptional as a guide. He is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, accommodating, and thoughtful. We booked the night before, and he transformed our long layover into a full Dubai experience. He does a variety of tours to suit your needs and personalizes the experience completely. Highly recommend! Very professional. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

SO thankful I came upon this tour with Jose Gomez for our 9 hour layover in Dubai. It was amazing - can't imagine doing a tour ANY OTHER WAY! You must book with Jose if you are in Dubai. We are well traveled and this was one of the top tours we have ever taken. 10 days later and I'm still absorbing the wealth of information provided by Jose. Dubai is fascinating. SO glad we chose a stop over in Dubai and left the airport to see what it offers.
I communicated with Jose weeks before and he always got right back to me. Very reliable.
First off, Jose picked us up early since our flight from Chicago arrived early. This was very appreciated after 14 hours in an airplane. He has a driver and air conditioned van waiting for you when you exit the airport. It's hot in Dubai but the driver will pick you up at every spot so you never are too hot! He is VERY knowledgable and gives you so much information on Dubai, it's people, architecture and everything else. I asked lots of questions and he was very patient and answered all our questions. We had him tour us to all the major spots in Dubai. Too many to list ;) I wondered about the safety - he is right there with you and shoo's away any sellers. Never ever did we feel unsafe. He's got perfect English and enjoyable to talk with. What came across is how hard working he is. You will never feel rushed, he will explain everything and take you to any spot you like. We even had him take us to the beach as we didn't believe him about the Persian Gulf water temperature - yup, he was correct, it was bath water warm. Felt like at the end we gained a new friend :)
Again, well worth the money to see the city that never sleeps. BOOK WITH JOSE GOMEZ and tell him hello!MUST DO if you are visiting Dubai

I'm very pleased with the night layover tour we had with Gomez. He replied promptly to my messages and kept in touch before the tour. He tracked my flight so he was waiting at the airport when I arrived. Very friendly guy and easy going. Even took is to eat at the end of the tour even though it was late. The tour stopped at all the highlights of Dubai. I was nervous as it was my first time in Dubai but he made me feel very safe and comfortable. Definitely recommend!Great tour

Hemos echo un tour por la ciudad con Gomez y ha sido genial! Teníamos una escala de más de siete horas en el aeropuerto de Dubái y decidimos contratar este tour y acertamos 100%. Tuvimos la oportunidad de conocer la ciudad de Dubái, que es algo que no te puedes perder, y más si es de la mano de Gomez, muy simpático, hizo todo lo posible por entendernos en español, y nos enseñó Dubái a la perfección! Lo recomiendo 100% Una experiencia que vale la pena

Gomez's tour was worth every single penny. The most impressive thing was the flawless communication and stress free experience. He picked us up from the airport with a private driver which allowed him to fully interact with us and tell us history and stats of Dubai, and also point out the most amazing buildings.
Having a private driver also meant we were able to be dropped off at the absolute best spots and seamlessly hop from attraction to attraction without waiting. Gomez prides himself on his tours and I can see why - entirely different from any other tour you'll experience and worth every single penny.The best time in Dubai

Sometimes it can be hard to plan what to do on a long-ish layover, especially as a solo female traveler, but I found out about Gomez and took an overnight layover tour. While a tour was pretty pricey for me, I'm really glad I did it. Everything was completely hassle-free. I was very happy to find out I could even bring my luggage along on the tour. I got to see plenty of the city in a short amount of time and I never had to stress about any part of it from start to finish.Much more fun than waiting at the airport!

Siamo arrivati a Dubai alle 11 di sera.
Dovendo fare uno scalo di circa 10 ore, abbiamo optato per una visita notturna guidata da Gomez, dalla durata di circa 4 ore. Nonostante gran parte delle attrazioni fossero chiuse, ne è valsa la pena. Mio marito ed io eravamo già stati a Dubai ma i nostri ragazzi ancora no. Gomez e l'autista Kabir sono stati fantastici. Gomez è ben preparato ed è molto simpatico. La visita é stata in lingua inglese.Una bella nottata a Dubai

We had an 8 hour late evening layover in Dubai so wanted to see the sights without any stress. Gomez tracked our flight which arrived one hour early. He was right there for us and picked us up in his air conditioned van. Thank goodness as it was 105F at 7 pm. Gomez had a separate driver so he could concentrate on his commentary, and we were able to get out and walk and the driver would pick us back up again and be off to the next attraction. Highly recommended!Great Dubai layover tour.

Gomez provided an excellent nighttime layover tour of Dubai! Despite our plane being delayed two hours and not landing until ~10:30 PM, he was there to pick us up at the airport. He rushed us over to see the Burj Khalifa fountains (the last show of the night and he didn’t want us to miss it!), and away we went on the tour. The breadth of the tour was great - we had many different stops. Gomez did a great job helping us learn and understand the UAE history and culture. We would highly recommend Gomez for anyone looking for a comprehensive tour of Dubai!Great late-night tour of New Dubai

My girlfriend and I had a middle of the night 8 hour layover in Dubai. We booked a 4 hour driving tour with Gomez and it was a great way to spend time between flights. Gomez is friendly, easy to talk to and told us a lot about the city as he showed us its most iconic sites.Good way to kill a layover.

We booked a one day Dubai tour with Gomez. It turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. He was very helpful and responded to queries even few days before the tour, so i could better prepare my family for the tour. He was ahead on time and waited for us at the airport and was very accommodating to our schedule requests. Travelling with a small kid would have never been easy if not for the support and flexibility. He was very professional and was very knowledgeable about CIty's history, culture and food.
He was very friendly and made sure our entire tour was comfortable and memorable. I would definitely recommend Gomez as a guide, trust me, you won't be disappointed.Best decision to book a tour with Gomez

I purposefully selected a flight with a long layover in Dubai because I was wanted to see the country before heading back home to the states. I was disappointed to see that there were little to no layover tour options for late night arrivals, but then I found Jose Gomez on Withlocals.com! I was impressed with Jose's reviews and decided to book a tour and WOW what a great experience! Jose is incredibly professional, he kept track of my flight and sent me his exact pick up location along with pictures of his pick up sign and his face! Upon meeting Jose, it felt like I was visiting an old friend. He was charming, funny, friendly and knowledgable. He took my boyfriend and I to so many amazing places, took great pictures, and even treated us to some great street food. Jose is a genuine, hardworking human and I highly recommend this experience to solo travelers, couples, or families! Thank you for an AMAZING experience, Jose! Hope to see you here in the states one day! :)AMAZING tour - highly recommended

More about me
We are Jose Gomez and Sandy (Santosh) ! We were not born in Dubai but Dubai is our home. We have been living in Dubai for more than 12 years as the certified and licensed tourists guides.
Our lives were filled with lots of real-life miraculous Incidents which led us to become the Dubai expatriates & co hosts for our travellers sharing our experiences and expertise's.
Gomez completed his honours in hospitality & tourism management and started working as a hospitality professional (chef, bartender, sales & marketing) in different countries & cities for the first few years before he moved to Dubai & became a tourist guide by people's
recommendation on Trip Advisor.
Wheras Sandy completed his diploma in tourism and started his debut in Dubai and transformed as a tourist guide by traveller's choice for his passion to show the authentic local places and cuisines to his guests.
We have had seen Dubai transforming to what it is today and have lived through that era with a handful of life experiences and realities. So on our tours, we help our clients to understand about the history, culture, architecture and the life-changing realities of Dubai on a closer angle.
It's always fun when you have a local person helping you to explore the city. Not only the touristic spots but the hidden gems of Dubai as well.
" If you are looking for real-life experience in our city don't hesitate to choose your experience with Gomez & Sandy, nevertheless both of us share the same passion and dedication in tours to our clients.
PS. We are genuine to all our clients in delivering a quality time during the tour rather than pushing our clients to an expensive art gallery, carpet shops, or spice shop.
You decide your tour - we will make it happen for you in our cities. (Dubai & Abu Dhabi)
