In late October/early November 2024 I spent a week in Dubai. Our guide Natalino has always proved competent, helpful, nice. He told us interesting things about this metropolis and certainly positively contributed to the success of this trip. I recommend the Natalino guide without a shadow of a doubt.

Natalino was the perfect Guide to discover Dubai and Abu Dhabi, he explained the history of how the UAE was born, the traditions and culture of this country, the magnificence of the great Sheikh Zayed mosque, and a thousand other things. Thank you very much for your professionalism and kindness.

Had a nice time learning about the history and culture of Dubai. Did not realize how hot it is in September though! Would advise bringing lots of water and a hat this time of year.
Natalino is the best!

We had a wonderful day taking this tour of Dubai, modern and ancient. And it was also fantastic because we were lucky enough to have Natalino as a guide, a very kind and very knowledgeable person who was able to explain the wonders of Dubai to us in a very in-depth way. Everything went perfectly!
