Hi there! Nice to meet you

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)

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"

Sandy was a fantastic guide, he knows the city well, as he has lived there with his family for many years. He was friendly and great company, and showed me interesting and diverse places which I would never have discovered on my own. I was travelling alone in Dubai and I felt completely safe everywhere we went. As well as trying tasty traditional dishes, Sandy also showed me the gold and spices souks, pointed out an 18th century fort, a Hindu temple district with many interesting back streets teeming with activity (even in the evening!) and he even organised a taxi after the tour to take me to see the Burj Khalifa. He adapted the tour to my needs and found a place for us to have a delicious iced drink at the end of the tour. The foods we tried were wholesome, freshly made and I would definitely recommend Sandy!Amazing experience in old town of Dubai

We had a great time with Sandy, going around the sights of Abu Dhabi. Our flight arrived early and Sandy was able to accommodate this and met us quite a few hours earlier than previously scheduled. He is very knowledgeable of the area including the local fauna and Flora, the sites, and even the politics. We had a great time visiting the Grand mosque, the Palace hotel, the Fig market and more. Sandy took us to a local restaurant and gave us recommendations on what to eat, it was delicious!! This was great way to spend hours will stop and Abu d and I would recommend Sandy. Also, Jose communicating with me before we landed. Had a blast on our layover!

Did the 4 hour car tour thru Dubai during our 8 hour layover. Was a great way to see the city and get out of the airport. Easy pick up and great guides. Highly recommend! My only regret is not buying the "Habibi come to Dubai" shirt I saw at our 1st stop!Great Layover in Dubai!

Sandy was an outstanding tour guide! He knew all the great places to go and was willing to tailor the tour to our interests. He knows the history of the area and a lot of interesting facts, which made it fun. He also took awesome pictures for us at each location. We stopped for lunch and included him in our feast at the fish market. Don’t hesitate to book with Sandy it was an AMAZING dayAMAZING!

Yas and Santhosh picked us up at the airport in a very timely fashion. They were very friendly, fun and knowledgeable . We enjoyed the markets, historical sites, a boat ride across the creek and dipping our toes in the Persian gulf at a night beach! Fabulous layover in Dubai

We took a long time researching the different guide options and couldn’t be happier with our choice. Sandy had so much knowledge on Dubai having been born and grown up there. He had so many great stories from an economic, political but also entertainment point of view and had answers to all our questions. Very highly recommended.Great food, even better facts and stories
