Private & personalized food tours in Dubai with a local

When you visit a city like Dubai, one of the best ways to really get to know it is through its food. A private food tour with a local guide is like having a friend show you all the best places to eat, the spots only locals know about.

Picture this: a local foodie taking you to the hidden gems of Dubai, from the tastiest street food to cozy restaurants serving up the best traditional dishes. Whether you're into sampling street food, exploring local markets, or dining at off-the-beaten-path spots, your guide will create a tour that's all about enjoying the true flavors of Dubai.

The best part? These food tours are just for you. No big crowds, no fixed menus – it's all about what you want to taste and experience. Whether you're snapping photos of colorful dishes, learning the stories behind the food, or simply savoring each bite, the tour moves at your pace.

And it's not just about the city. You can also take a day trip to nearby areas, where you can visit vineyards, farms, or coastal towns to enjoy fresh, local specialties. If you're new to Dubai, start with a food tour that gives you a taste of everything – it's like a friendly introduction to the city's best bites, guided by someone who knows every delicious corner.

So, when you're in Dubai, skip the touristy spots. Take a private food tour and discover the real flavors that make Dubai special. Get ready to eat like a local and make your trip truly memorable!

      An Enjoyable Morning in Old Dubai

      "We really enjoyed our time with Sandy, we liked the fact the tastings were interspersed with time to look around the various souks. We never felt rushed and enjoyed some great food in very unique locations. I’d absolutely recommend this for first timers to Dubai "

      Highly recommend!!!

      "This was a fabulous tour for my family (my husband and I and 3 adult sons)! We were very stressed arriving to the tour because our Taxi driver took the wrong way, got stuck in traffic and tried dropping us off where we weren’t supposed to be. I communicated this to Sandy and he was very happy, understanding and energetic despite us being 15 min late. We tried so many foods and snacks. Loved Sandy’s enthusiasm for food and culture and the 3 he tour flew by! Thanks for a wonderful time!!"

      Super Knowledgeable

      "We enjoyed a few hours with Sandy experiencing the sights, sounds and tastes of Old Dubai. The spice and gold markets were really interesting. Sandy was able to help us navigate the gold trade in a way that we could never have done on our own. The water taxi was a unique experience as well. I’m so glued we met Sandy and got to see Old Dubai. It’s a must visit if you’re spending a few days in Dubai. "

      Excellent Tour

      "We did the food tour with Sandy and it was great. He told us a lot about Dubai, was very personable and also catered to our personal wishes. In addition, the food stops were totally delicious, authentic and so plentiful that we couldn't finish everything at the last stop. We felt well looked after all round and would book a tour with Sandy again at any time. Many thanks again for everything - 100% recommendation! "
