Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had amazing trip ! Mr Suqlain is Very professional, knowledgeable guide who helped us learn a lot about Emirates and show us everything we wanted to see and even more !"
"He was wonderful. Recommend highly, very pleasant demeanor and knowledgeable. Has a love for his country which is tremendous. "
"From initial contact through to the end of our time with him, Ikram was helpful, responsive and incredibly flexible. Ikram is clearly passionate about his country and enjoys sharing his extensive knowledge with visitors to the UAE. As photographers we had very specific ideas about what we wanted to get out of the day and Ikram helped us shape an itinerary very different to the initial tour schedule...a huge benefit of booking a personal tour rather than joining an organised group. "
"Suqlain listened to us and took us only to the places we wanted to see, as our time was limited. The tour was very efficient yet extensive, going to 6-8 places in 4 hours before handing us off to his associate for the dune bashing. A++++++"
"Our guide Suqlain was brilliant we had the best day seeing the sights of Dubai he gave us such an great insight and we truly felt we got to experience all that Dubai had to offer in the one day that we had to look around. He showed us his favourite restaurant and took us wherever we wanted to go. Suqlain was so easy to chat to and answered all our questions and was full of fun facts. I would highly recommend booking him if you get the chance made our short visit very memorable. The only comment I would make is to check exactly what you have arranged as I did think we had paid for the full safari experience but apparently it must have been additional but honestly it didn't take away from the fantastic day we had."
"Sandy catched us from our hotel and then we drove to Abu Dhabi. We made a lot of stopps. A greater stopp was at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. That was really very impressing. He explained us the facts and had all answers to our questions. After this we went to the former Kempinski Hotel, then we wanted to see some spots away from the grand tourism (meat and fish- market…) And he fullfilled our wish to have lunch in a typical Arabian Restaurant. It was an awsome experience and very delicious. And on our way back to Dubai we had a look at the racing place from Formula 1. We spent 8 hours with Sandy and we Are very thankful for this time. We can highly recommend him and this tour. And the driver was very kind, also. Thanks for all, Sandy."
"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. "
"Suqlain did a phenomenal job showing us the sites of the city, explaining the history of Dubai, and was very courteous. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour! The desert portion of the tour was unlike anything we’ve done before. Doing the dune bashing was an unforgettable experience along with the Dune Buggy ride and holding a falcon!"
"We had a great time with Sandy and Jose crisscrossing Dubai! We covered the new, the old and the soon to be. We felt that our immersion was a great stepping off point for the next 2 days of adventures."
"I couldn’t be more pleased with this tour. We covered so many highlights of Dubai and I learned so much about the history and culture. The route was well planned out, with little wasted time in traffic. The driving was safe and comfortable. I received tips on places to return to if I wanted to explore more in depth. A very enjoyable experience "
