My food tour with Sheikh was awesome. He provided I nice mix of Dubai history, along with a description of the food history, along with a nice combination of tastings of the food that is a complex mix of influences from multiple Middle Eastern Countries, as well as influences from Inda and Pakistan. I thoroughly enjoyed my tour and ate way too much food!

Guide was great, and very flexible. Good opportunity to see things other than the obvious in Dubai.

Just generally a a good tour

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.
