Zana Stojanovdki, Australia Oct 3/12 We booked this tour as it covered all the areas we wanted to see in Dubai in one outing and wanted a guide as well so we can learn about the history and culture. Our guide Sunil provided all of this for us. He was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour. We also had many opportunities to take photos and take our time. He was able to show us locations of where to take the best photos and where to buy tickets to things and many handy tips along the way. Thanks again. Loved it

Tamara Grubb, United States Sep 16/12 Sunil did an excellent job of showing us the city and educating us on everything from the building permits to the culture of the UAE people. Excellent job! If you have a layover, don't spend it in the airport - get out and see Dubai with tours by locals!

Margaret Bailey, Australia Aug 31/12 Our tour of Dubai with Sunil was excellent. He was on time, great with information on Dubai, exceptional value for money and had a good sense of humour.

His AC car was very comfortable, we felt very safe with him, would definitely use him again and have no hesitation what so ever in recommending him. Thank you Tours by Local

Chris Kubsch, United States Apr 27/12 Most excellent in all regards. Will make sure to return for a longer tour arrangement. Thanks so much for being flexible with our delayed flight and making sure we still had an amazing visit.

Deborah Dorman, United States Apr 12/12 We thoroughly enjoyed our whirlwind four hour private tour with Sunil. He was a very friendly and considerate host. I highly recommend that those with long layovers in Dubai try this instead of napping at the hotel provided by the airline, or trying to get around on your own when you have only a short time to see the sights. Sunil made sure that we had the best vantage point to watch the fountains, with a backdrop of the tallest building in the world, next to the largest shopping mall in the world.

Lily Bonnici, Australia Apr 2/12 To anyone visiting Dubai I highly recommend Sunil as your guide. His attention to detail was invaluable making sure I sighted amazing sights from the best vantage point , he made my short stay highly enjoyable. Lily (Australia)

Norma Brown, United States Mar 30/12 Excellent Tour to see a lot within a short time period . . . The Guide was very nice and excellent with his knowledge . . . Ordinarily, I would have tipped him more, but after paying $167 as a single tour to cover cost for 4 people, I thought it was sufficient . . . Would use ToursByLocals again . . . njb

Valencia Bryan, United States Mar 28/12 To sum this tour up in a single word: AWESOME!!!! Sunil was wonderfully articulate, spoke english quite well, and gave objective information on the city's history, politics, customs, culture, architect, design and infrastructure with an insight much beyond the usual tour experience. Additionally, his prompt timing at all the "must see" sights was impeccable; even the dancing water display seemed to start upon que of his arrival. This tour should definitely not be missed!

Rosa Millan, United States Mar 12/12 We had an excellent experience with Tours by locals. Sunil was not available but sent an experienced guide,we had a great tour. We did the 1/2 day airport lay over tour in Dubai. Also did Fujairah and Abu Dhabi. The guide was very friendly and shared with us his knowledge on the area. We highly recommend Sunil and give him a 5 star rating. Rosa Millan/USA TOURSBYLOCALS RESPONSE: Houssam is a colleague of Sunil. The substitution was agreed to in advance.

Marta Dos Santos, Brazil Mar 3/12 It was an excellent tour.

Yolan Laporte, United States Feb 16/12 Sunil provide superb services for 4-hour "Old and New Dubai" tours on two consecutive days.

Most highly recommended. YJ Laporte, Fairfax VA, USA

Mohammed Alam, Canada Dec 30/11 Sunil was extremely knowledgeable and flexible. He adjusted the itinerary to allow us to drop in to see a friend. He was at the airport to collect us right on time. The vehicle in which we were driven around (he drove himself) was, as far as we could tell, new or almost new. An excellent guide and an excellent tour!

Cecilia Chan, Hong Kong Dec 30/11 Sunil is a very reliable person with great and responsive communication. Will definite recommend him to any travellers (especially first timers).

Manuel Ojeda Terol, Spain Dec 27/11

Anthony Rackham, United Kingdom Nov 28/11 Excellent tour. Sunil was not available and his place was taken by Shajahan. We were guided around all the sights of Dubai with a knowledgeable commentary as we went. We were picked up on time and delivered to our cruise. Great service. TOURSBYLOCALS RESPONSE: We're glad you enjoyed your tour with Shajahan. Sunil's father passed away and he was dealing with family issues on that day, so the substitution was unavoidable.

Emil Reynolds, United States Nov 22/11 Prompt, helpful and on time.

Dr. Philip Solar, United States Nov 22/11 Wonderful experience

Wafaa Saeh, Kuwait Oct 27/11

David White, United States Sep 10/11 We hired Sunil for a 4-hr tour during a 24-hr layover in Dubai. He gave us a great tour of the city (included more than originally requested) and made great suggestions on things to do during the rest of our time (such as going to Souk Al Bahar for dinner to watch the light show). He also showed us several great locations from photographing the Burj Khalifa and Al Arab. We highly recommend Sunil to anyone planning to visit Dubai.

Samantha Davies, United Kingdom Aug 28/11 Sunil is a great guide very accommodating to your needs and very knowledgeable. He is an excellent guide and didn't mind us stopping to shop through the tour and he was brilliant at haggling for us in the souks. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and would book him again.

Gael O'Donnell, Australia Aug 25/11 I did the four hour dubai layover tour. This was a fantastic tour with a wonderful guide. Sunil was so warm, friendly, knowledgeable and a delight to be with. Sunil arrived on time and we covered everything I had hoped to see and more. He provided very good background and readily answered all my questions. Sunil is very intuitive and tailored the tour info to my interest. I highly recommend this tour and Sunil as a perfect guide.

Lyndsay Coelho, South Africa Aug 6/11 Sunil was an excellent tour guide. He was prompt in collecting us and made sure that we were comfortable with everything planned for the morning.He was informative and has a wealth of information regarding Dubai. He made several excellent suggestions for us to explore further on our own. Nothing was too much trouble for him. Thank you Sunil for a wonderful morning in Dubai.

Kim Weinberg, United States May 2/11 Sunil gave us a great lay of the land and took us to the popular sites. I wish we had more time to take in the things we saw, but we were on a tight schedule- which he was very conscious about managing.

Tony Fellingham, New Zealand Apr 21/11 Sunil was the BEST. My wife and I had a wonderful day in his care and would highly recommend his services to others. No group bus tour could ever hope to equal the types of places that he took us to see. He is very courteous, professional and friendly without being familiar and his local knowledge was impressively vast. Plaudits to you Sunil. Now that we're aware of your organisation, we hope to take advantage of your services in our future travels.

David Allen, Canada Apr 18/11 A delight to have as a guide - informative, eager to please and overall a very nice person. Would recommend Sunil without question.

Manoj Kumar, United States Mar 20/11 The tour guide Sunil was very professional yet friendly. He modified the trip according to our needs especially 2 tired kids ! I would highly recommend Sunil and this tour to my friends and anyone who is looking for a quick get away in Dubai.

James Cumming, United Kingdom Jan 1/11 Excellent tour and very helpful guide with deep knowledge of Dubai.

John Cameron, New Zealand Dec 16/10 Sunil was prompt, friendly, polite and helpful. His vehicle was comfortable and clean. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Dubai with Sunil because the time we spent there was tailored by him to meet our interests. The ability to have a tour guide answer our questions and be so knowledgeable about Dubai meant we felt we got good value for our short time (4 hours). We will be recommending your company because of Sunil's good work. Thank you!

William Spencer, United States Nov 17/10 Sunil is young, has plenty of energy and knows the city well. He has his "schtick" (which i mean in a positive way) but will also answer any question and will customize the tour to your interests. I took his 4 hr layover tour and it was exactly what I was looking for.

Bob Macari, United States Oct 25/10 The curtesy, promptness, knowledge, flexiblity and personality of Sunil could not be of a higher grade. TOUR GUIDE RESPONSE: Hello, Thank you very much for your good comment.
