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. 100% recommendation!

We were fortunate enough to be the only couple on the tour. Our guide for the day was Malick and he was brilliant.

Ikram was my tour guide and I was very appreciative that the tour was still going ahead when I found out I was the only one. Ikram was terrific with his knowledge and history of Dubai and had pictures handy to illustrate some of it. The charming restaurants that we visited and the food provided was awesome and it was hard work getting through all of it, in fact, I had to give up at our last stop in the Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood in a lovely courtyard setting where I was given a camel meat burger and couldn’t quite get through half of it I was so full. As we walked and ate, I truly enjoyed the great conversations that we had which made the evening all the more enjoyable. I also particularly enjoyed the visit to a shop in the spice souk where I had a delicious drink of tea with a cinnamon stick and saffron, the boat trip across the Dubai Creek and seeing all of the terrific work where the old buildings had been restored. Thanks very much to Ikram, Gomez & Sandy.
