My friend and I had a long overnight layover in Dubai, and decided to book a city tour with Gomez. This turned out to be the best possible way for us to see the sights of the city in a matter of hours! Gomez was super flexible about our schedule and our goals. He managed to fit all of the sights into a shortened amount of time for us. He was also so much fun to talk to! He has a lot of information to share about the culture of this very diverse city. He was a wonderful host, and I would most definitely book another tour with him if I am ever back for another visit!Excellent Tour! flexible for any schedule!

I had an incredible time on the Dubai tour with Sandy! Everything was so easy and well-organized, from the seamless airport pickup to all the thoughtful advice throughout the trip. Sandy went above and beyond to ensure the experience was stress-free and fun. They even helped me bargain at the souks, which made shopping such a breeze! The tour was perfectly catered to my preferences, and their communication was top-notch. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide—highly recommend!Must do if you have a long layover!!

My wife and I took a layover tour with Sandy Nat on 18 January 2025. Sandy was very good in communicating with us prior to arriving. He monitored our arrival and met us at a convenient airport location. Having arranged it ahead of time, they were prepared to accommodate our luggage in their vehicle as we toured the city. They then dropped us at our departing terminal with ample time to check-in and pass thru security. Sandy was an excellent tour guide. He was patient with our questions and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the city. We saw all the sights advertised and had several short walking tours. He purchased some local light street food for us to try and it was excellent. While Sandy was our tour guide, he had another partner who drove the vehicle, allowing us to walk areas and get picked up later. This maximized our time by not worrying about parking and back-tracking to the vehicle. We would highly recommend Sandy as your Dubai tour guide. Great tour of Dubai!

We did the streetfood tour with Sandy and a had a great time. The communication was good and Sandy gave us good explanation about the meeting point, as well as the traffic at this time. The range of food was excellent and we visited restaurants, which we would never had found on our own as tourists. Sandy is a great tour guide and we got special prices at the spice market as the sellers know him. He made our trip to Dubai very special as we love to experiance local food on our vacations. I would highly recommend this tour with him! Thank you very much for everything!! Wonderful food tour

I had a wonderful private tour with Sandy. He was very punctual and sent several messages on What’s App prior to our meeting at the airport. I was a solo traveler so the price was high, but totally worth every dollar. He gave a great tour of the top sights in Dubai. And due to this, I want to return to spend a lot more time there! Really glad that I discovered them via Trip Advisor reviews. Definitely recommend them for a layover tour of Dubai! Do the night tour! Well organized night tour of Dubai

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!Great Overnight Layover Tour!

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 did the Abu Dhabi day trip with Sandy Nat and driver Ranju. We were picked up promptly at the arranged time and set off from Dubai to explore Abu Dhabi. We had requested specific stops for our tour which were accommodated by Sandy. So you can make this tour bespoke. Sandy is extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions. We started off at the Grand Mosque (and so helpful that Sandy had made all the arrangements so we were able to fast track entry) which was stunning and so beautiful. Sandy shared so much information on the building of the mosque and each area’s significance which made this visit truly memorable. Our next stop was the Emirates Hotel (former palace) and along the drives we were also able to see specific sights that Sandy pointed out (which we were not aware of) - such as the seven buildings that are designed to look like the five fingers of a hand. Next stop was Heritage Village for a self guided tour of the humble beginnings of the first ruler of the UAE. Enroute to lunch we passed a few more sights and also saw the new palace from across the ocean (overlooking a bay). We stopped for lunch at Al Mrzab for truly Emirati cuisine (which is also recommended by the Michelin Guide). The afternoon consisted of a stop at the date market and the Louvre museum. We toured the museum which happened to also house several works of art by renowned artists Money, Manet, and Renoir (without the lines like the French Louvre). The final stops included driving through Ferrari World and the parks on Yas Island. We did not wish to stop here but they can be added to one’s itinerary. The day was packed with activities we chose and we continued to learn about the Emirati culture from Sandy during the drive back to Dubai. Sandy - Thank you for a most wonderful experience and for sharing some of the sights your home has to offer.A Great Day in Abu Dhabi

This was a fabulous tour for my family (my husband and I and 3 adult sons)! We were very stressed arriving to the tour because our Taxi driver took the wrong way, got stuck in traffic and tried dropping us off where we weren’t supposed to be. I communicated this to Sandy and he was very happy, understanding and energetic despite us being 15 min late. We tried so many foods and snacks. Loved Sandy’s enthusiasm for food and culture and the 3 he tour flew by! Thanks for a wonderful time!!Highly recommend!!!

We had a great day with Sandy and Jose. A perfect introduction to Dubai for first time visitors. We learned a lot about the development of Dubai over the past few years and saw many of the top attractions from the comfort of the air conditioned car- important since it was around 105 degrees outside! We also took a boat into Old Dubai and went to the souks-the Spice market and the gold market. Both were interesting experiences! We had decided beforehand with Sandy to get skip the line tickets up to the 144th floor of the Burj Khalifa which offered us an amazing view with quick access. We were dropped off and Sandy picked up the tickets for us. After the tour we were met again at the same location and driven back to the hotel. Very convenient. It was truly a great day and Sandy and Jose made everything very easy for us and did all we had hoped for. I would definitely recommend them to other travelers. A good overview of Dubai

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

We had the pleasure of being guided by the dynamic duo, Gomez & Sandy, who were absolutely incredible from the moment we landed. Our flight touched down at the wee hours of 3 AM, and since our hotel check-in wasn't until 2 PM, we decided to seize the day with a private tour. The team was more than accommodating, picking us up bright and early to kickstart our adventure to beautiful Abu Dhabi. What truly stood out was their attentiveness and flexibility. We had a few spontaneous ideas for activities we wanted to add or swap out, and Gomez & Sandy worked with us seamlessly to make it happen. Their extensive knowledge of the history and geography of each location enriched our journey, making it not just a tour, but a deep dive into the culture and essence of Abu Dhabi. A highlight of our day was the delicious local restaurant they brought us to for lunch – every bite was a delightful experience that truly showcased the flavors of the region! And let's not forget the ride – it was comfortable and relaxing, setting the perfect tone for our exploration. I can't recommend them enough to anyone looking to explore the UAE. Don’t miss out on the chance to create unforgettable memories with these outstanding guides! Trust me, you won’t regret it! 🌟

I had an afternoon/evening layover in Dubai and wanted to get out to see the city. 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!! 10/10

We had the best day yesterday with Sandy as our guide and Ranju as our driver. We did the architectural tour and they taylor it to your wishes. We spent 6 hours in this private tour for a very reasonable price and saw all the highlights of beautiful Dubai. This tour made us want to visit Dubai again and go back and spend more time at some of the attractions we visited. We had to go to the airport that night, so didn’t have time to spend time at places, but it was the perfect way to see Dubai if you have limited time. We finished the tour off having lunch at Arabian tea house in old town. The food was fresh and delicious and the staff were amazing. Thanks Sandy you made us feel like we were your friends not just tourists. Amazing tour with a personal feel

I texted with sandy and Gomez a number of times and they made me feel very comfortable that I would be in good hands. Unfortunately my trip was cancelled at the airport due to a passport issue and I didn’t get to meet them. Even though I did not meet their cancellation policy I think it would have been very hard to find anyone to make the cancellation or seek a refund. The trip was not cheap lol!If only i got to meet them!

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.My First Time In Dubai

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 :)

I did a layover tour with Sandy in Dubai in May 2024 and really enjoyed it! There was clear communication prior to my arrival and Sandy and the driver were there when I landed. We went to several different landmarks in the span of 7 hours and Sandy was able to keep the conversation going all day, which I appreciated. I enjoyed hanging out with Sandy and learnt so much about Dubai and the UAE. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is looking to discover Dubai in a short period of time. Thank you so much Sandy for such a wonderful day! Amazing layover tour in Dubai!

We booked a tour with Sandy, accompanied by a driver. We had all day to experience "the best of Dubai" prior to our late-night flight. Sandy was excellent. He met us exactly on time as planned at the Dubai airport and was in touch with us vis WhatsApp. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and responsive to our preference for how we wanted to see Dubai and in finding a restaurant for lunch which we very much appreciated (our lunch was excellent). We hit the highlights of Dubai and were totally thrilled with Sandy. We feel that we left with a very good introduction of and appreciation for Dubai, its people, economy and culture/society. We echo all of the very positive reviews left by others and would highly recommend booking a tour with Sandy and his team. You won't regret it.Great private tour of "The Best of Dubai"

My experience with the Dubai Private Layover Tour & Transfers was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we were picked up in a pristine white SUV, I knew we were in for a treat. Sandy, our guide, was not only extremely knowledgeable but also passionate about Dubai’s history and culture, which made the tour deeply engaging. In just 4 hours, we explored both the old and new facets of Dubai, with a perfectly balanced itinerary that Sandy adjusted to accommodate our interests. This flexibility allowed us to maximize our short time and see everything we had hoped for and more. The convenience of having a private car and driver cannot be overstated; being dropped off right at the entrance of each site saved us so much time and hassle, making our tour smooth and enjoyable. Sandy shared fascinating facts about Dubai’s rapid development and transformation, which enriched our understanding and appreciation of each site we visited. The personal touches and deep insight provided by Sandy made this tour one of the highlights of our trip. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to experience Dubai’s highlights in a short amount of time without feeling rushed. It’s a fantastic way to get a comprehensive overview of the city with the luxury of a knowledgeable guide and no logistical worries. Thank you, Sandy, for such a memorable and insightful experience!Exceptional Private Tour of Dubai!

My work friend and I made a fairly last-minute decision to put our 12+hour layover in Dubai to good use. The algorithm brought me to Withlocals and to Sandy, and I am so very happy it did!! Sandy met us upon arrival at DBX and we were whisked away to Old Dubai and pretty quickly found ourselves immersed in the old souks of Dubai. This tour was incredibly thoughtfully laid out and a perfect combination of history, food sampling, shopping opportunity, culture, and architecture. We had the most amazing experience and felt comfortable and safe the entire time. Now, we have had the whirlwind tour, we want to come back for a longer trip. Thank you so much Sandy for being a remarkable human! Please continue this fantastic tour! Amazing way to see an incredible city!

We enjoyed a few hours with Sandy experiencing the sights, sounds and tastes of Old Dubai. The spice and gold markets were really interesting. Sandy was able to help us navigate the gold trade in a way that we could never have done on our own. The water taxi was a unique experience as well. I’m so glued we met Sandy and got to see Old Dubai. It’s a must visit if you’re spending a few days in Dubai. Super Knowledgeable

On vacation I want to make the most of my time, I appreciate well organisation and punctuality, a busy day with lots of information and experiences to take back. I got all I wanted!! Communication from the beginning was easy and the right amount of sharing was done. Sandy was very helpful in customising a second excursion and we really enjoyed his proposals for day 2. Even though it was Ramadan the places we visited have been lively and mostly open. And a spontaneous workaround for the ones that had been closed was found. We enjoyed the private walk and taste tour and the little shopping that was involved !!! And we also enjoyed the private dessert safari with quad bike add on (suggest to always go outside of the gate into the real dunes with a guide!) Thanks for a wonderful experience to both of you! Wonderful time and well organised

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)

We have done tours for nearly 8000 travellers over the past few years and we just not only promise a quality tour but a good friend for a lifetime!

Regards,

"Jose Gomez & Sandy Nat"
