I am Vinod who is a post graduate in History with my past experience in teaching. But as I am replanted to the UAE, one of the most beautiful places in the world, started thinking about a different way of looking at life. It was turning point in my life to obtain the tour guide license and started working in that field for the last eighteen years. I see it's a fortune and boon to me to reveal to the visitors, the multi cultural, multilingual, multitasked promise land. I am a focused professional maintained excellent relations interpersonal and great capacity to work individually and also as a team member in well groomed and disciplined manner. My own nature of excellent hospitality, dedication, planning and punctuality - all these values recommend and help me a lot to become a shining star in this profession. "We will live in a wonderful world that is full of security charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have is only seek with them with our eyes open "No doubt the UAE harmonizes to her heart all this beauty security and charm. But to experience these real heart tropes, you need a gracious, noble and organized guide who could make your journey a remarkable and UN forgettable experience in your life. Dubai has been called the "shopping capital of the Middle east. It is not only famous for "BurjKhalifa ", the highest skycraper at 828 meters, but is also known for setting many fascinating world records especially during DSF . It has a rich collection of buildings and structures of various architectural styles, especially Islamic which itself is the design of BurjKhalifa with the triple -lobbed foot print of the building based on an abstracted version of the desert shower HYMENOCALLIS which is native to the Dubai region. If you think of the UAE as an unlimited entertainer through which adorableness and artistry speaks to you at every second, then I assure I can tune you every moment without losing its grandiosity and celebration by strictly adhering to my spirit of professional dedication. Think of me not only like a tour leader but also like your travel manager. I love to be a guide for any tourist or person that wants to have an in depth knowledge and wonderful experiences of this beautiful country. I prefer to do tailored made guides and be an assistant for you and your families if the case and your person of trust while you are in this emirate. Providing the most enjoyable tour around the city, whether you come to emirates for pleasure or business, I guarantee that you would remember your trip to Emirates as the best vacation of your lifetime. I am very proud of my city and hope to see you soon in the "Pearl of Gulf" Licensed by Dubai Tourism Commerce & Marketing(DTCM) Licensed by Abudhabi Tourism &Culture Authority, 26 Years Experience In guiding.

Another great day with Vinod. We were ending our 5 days in Dubai and he hit all the highpoints we'd missed plus a few more. Very comfortable traveling in his van on a hot day and, as was the case on our tour of Abu Dhabi, he was very informative. Well worth the money!

Vinod was an amazing guide! My sister and I leveraged his services for 3 full days...doing 3 separate all day tours in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Al Ain. His communications are terrific, took us to all of the hot spots to see....and was a master photographer...making sure we got the 'money shots' for all of the sights. His knowledge of the region is terrific...and he was super accommodating to adjust to our interests and schedules. Vinod will start the tour whether you are based in Abu Dhabi or in Dubai. His smile is infectious, is a masterful driver, and filled with so much knowledge from his years of experience that he made the region come to life. Thank you Vinod!

Vinod was an excellent guide during our tour in Dubai. He was polite, professional, and adapted perfectly to our schedule, even when there were delays due to traffic. He took us to the city’s most important landmarks, always providing insightful information to ensure we had the best experience. I especially appreciated his flexibility and his effort to make sure we covered all the attractions we had planned, even within a tight timeline. His knowledge of the local culture and history was truly impressive and enriched our journey. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to explore Dubai with a friendly and professional guide.

Vinod has a unique skill set rarely seen anymore in a tour guide: charisma, personality, friendliness, knowledge and caring. He masterfully navigated through Dubai and showed us lot of landmarks, patiently waited when we run off exploring and help us negotiate fair prices for our purchases. He is truly a local and.knows the city inside and out. Our experience was incredible thanks to Vinod. He is well worth the money. You won’t regret hiring him

We used Vinod for 2 days. First a tour of Dubai and the next day Abu Dhabi. Both days were great. Vinod is professional, knowledgeable and thorough. He is also flexible and did whatever he could to meet our desires. I highly recommend and would use him again in UAE. Thank you Vinod.
