Well organized night tour of Dubai
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!
