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!

A walk round old Dubai
We had a very interesting morning with Michael, who stepped in for Kassim. Michael was iinformed and and interesting explaining the history and background of old and new Dubai. He also helped us negotiate to buy some very classy saffron at a much cheaper price, and it would have been in England.
