★★★★★ What our guests say
“The whole experience was great from start to finish. The jet skis were amazing, all booked and ready to go, and we did the buggies and quads, picked up from our door step and dropped off with a lovely trusty gentleman. If you want a stress free time I would highly recommend.”
Calvin Wilkins
“Honestly, 10/10 experience! The buggies are super fun, fast, and really easy to handle. They picked us up right from our hotel on time, drove us out to the desert in AC comfort, and dropped us back after. Zero stress, amazing views. Highly recommend!”
Kyle Mackenzie
“Anyone coming to Dubai should be in touch with Myles and the team @insidedubaiguide. Great advice and offers, genuine person who puts customer first. Can't recommend enough for any desert trips, yachts, jet skis, attraction tickets, transfers and more.”
Stuart Anderson
“Great service from Myles and his team from start to finish. Changing the number of people and the dates was never a problem. I booked the jet skis and jeep safari and everybody was friendly and helpful, esp Shaza and her team on the safari.”
Natalie o'Sullivan
“Responses were practically immediate. The Gold experience at Burj Khalifa was incredible and we wouldn't have chosen it if not for the advice given. We also did the Sky Views Observatory and the Jet Cars. We will only use InsideDubaiGuide whenever we return to Dubai!”
Lewis Ramster
“I contacted Inside Dubai Guide before arriving in Dubai with a list of everything we wanted to do, and Myles was absolutely brilliant. Everything was perfectly organised, and every activity ran smoothly from start to finish.”
