Excellent tour

Marta_D, Aug 2022

We had a long layover in Dubai so we booked a tour guided by Sandy and Gomez to get an idea of the city. It was a great expirience that we will never forget. They showed and told us as much as possible and were very kind, helpfull especially to my old mum and much flexible. Great thanks to both of them!😀

Had Marwan as our guide. He was amazing. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Book now, and ask for Marwan. Jose also helped set things up, but was out of town himself, and Marwan knocked it out of the park.
