Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Enjoyed our morning with Sandy, knowledge was very high and showed us many sights in our time. Enthusiastic friendly polite team."
"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. "
"I had a lovely time on the tour. Sandy was terrific and attentive to all of my needs I would highly recommend sandy He was terrific "
"These guys were ready to accommodate changes and whims. They are super nice and made our experience a very nice one "
"We had a fantastic tour. Sandy was engaging, informative, and attentive. We would definitely recommend Sandy and Jose to anyone in Dubai and will be booking with them on return visits. "
"We were a group of 8 people arriving in Abu Dhabi at 9pm for an overnight layover. Sandy and his team were ready for us at arrivals on time. He made a booking for us at the Grand mosque and he really made a huge effort to ensure that we could visit this place which is only open till 10 PM. He showed us around and made the visit at the Mosque an experience to treasure for life. After the mosque they also tried to show us as much as possible of Abu Dhabi at night including the Ferrari track and Dates Market. The whole trip was about 5hours. For our group this was a brilliant start to our trip to Istanbul. I believe Sandy also does trips to Dubai. This is on my bucket list for a next trip. I would highly recommend Sandy and his team for any of these exercusions. Trust to meet up with them again in the near future."
"Sandy definitely knows his way around Abu Dhabi and Dubai. I was a bit nervous as a solo traveler but even since the first communications he was amazing. Recommend his agency a 100%"
"My tour with Gomez was absolutely outstanding. It was totally personalized and flexible to meet my needs. Gomez is an affable person and he is always trying to make sure the tour matches your expectations. He is also not trying to force you to buy things and leaves you to do them as you deem appropriate. Overall cannot be happier. Highly recommend Gomez. You will enjoy the tour"
"Jose did a great job. He helped us out with an incentive job for pre-event program suggestion to on site support. Very professional job done."
"Im Vorfeld haben wir per Mail unsere Wünsche abgeklärt und auf Basis dieser ein gutes Angebot erhalten. Gomez und sein Fahrer haben uns pünktlich abgeholt - und schon ging es los - alle Highlights der Stadt sollten wir in den nächsten Stunden präsentiert bekommen. Von der Ferrari World (inkl. Sky Diving) über den Louvre bis zum Emirates Palace, dem Präsidentenpalast, einem tollen Fotostop nahe der Moschee, dem Heritge Village bis hin zum World Trade Center etc hat uns diese Tour geführt. Danke an Gomez für diesen interessanten Tag, die vielen Informationen und den Spaß, den wir miteinander hatten. Gomez spricht ein sehr gut verständliches Englisch!"
