June 2025

Great experience for two of the seven on our tour. Five of us couldn’t attend due to our flight being cancelled, but from what I understand the tour was great!

The guide, Naveen, was incredibly knowledgeable & flexible for our schedule. He took us to places we were interested in learning more about & even helped show us how to use the train system so we could get on the train to the airport when we leave town tomorrow. He was very personable & easy-going. We loved hearing the wealth of information he had & he always knew when we were ready to move on to the next area. We would highly recommend him to anyone!! Adults and/or families!

This was an amazing tour that was personalized to my interest. I chose the perfect half day in Dubai tour. City Unscripted held true when they matched me with the perfect tour guide. This was a private tour and Charlie Miiro my guide had great suggestions and took me to places that I hadn’t thought about. I appreciated Miiro’s flexibility, knowledge of Dubai amongst other things. In addition we had a lot of engaging conversation along the way. I was celebrating my 35th birthday this trip and Miiro surprised me with a little gift which just shows how thoughtful he is and the type of host City Unscripted employs. Thanks again to the team of City Unscripted and most of all Miiro for a wonderful experience.
