Rajendra Saini Our Tour Guide Was Everything and More - Visiting another country is always an unknown adventure. My husband and I went to Dubai for my 50th birthday. Because no one that we know have gone to Dubai, We decided to get A tour guide; I am so glad we did. Raj was the best tour guide a person could ask for. I have a bad hip. My hip was slowing me down and not once did Raj complain. He just offered assistance and alternatives. He has so much knowledge of Dubai that we left feeling like we took a piece of it with us. Dubai was great and with Raj being our tour guide person, He made it wonderful.

The Dubai Experience - Birthday Edition - Our much anticipated birthday trip to Dubai was priceless! Our tour guide Rajendar "Raj" Saini was the BEST. He was punctual, personable, knowledgeable, informative, and professional. We visited so many landmarks/attractions and even got to experience some local spots. Raj was even willing to help us capture our memories by taking photos of us. The overall experience was top tier and it was a birthday trip to remember. We will definitely use them again when we return to Dubai.

Our awesome guided tour…..🔥🔥🔥🔥 - …I have travelled to 20 different countries and this visit to Dubai was one of the best, most memorable times I’ve had in all my travels. If you ask me “what made this one the best” I would have to credit using the Kaizad Desert Vision tourism crew. They showed my girls and I, the best sites, malls, shops and tours in town. Everything was so fun, exciting, smooth and timely, They really made us feel at home. I would definitely recommend using Kaizad Desert Vision Crew for every visit to the UAE ❤️.

Sight Seeing in Dubai! - Raj was great. Amazing rapport with my friends & I. Very knowledgeable about the culture & area. He was also most helpful with assisting us with suggestions on places to go on our own as well as taking us by places that were both famous and local gems. I speak for all of the ladies when I say Raj is Dubai's best kept secret.
