I did the combined afternoon/evening tour with Anique - the perfect guide providing helpful photographic advice when needed and then access to great shooting locations the last one of which was quite stunning!

I took a photography tour with Ashwani. He was excellent, accommodating, very encouraging and extremely pleasant to be around. He tailored my photography tour based on exactly what I wanted to do, even though it wasn’t part of the original plan. He considered what I had already done, what type of photography style I had and gave suggestions on what I might like on this tour. He gave me great advice for photographing locations for the rest of my stay, and was sensitive to my needs regarding safety, thirst, hunger, etc. I could not have been happier that Ashwani was my guide.

I've done the Dubai tour with Anique. What I can I say. Perfectly organized, good locations.
I liked having Anique guide me yo great spots. He gave me great technical know how but also good tips for creativity.
Anique is a nice guy, great guide and it's always fun being with him on a tour.

Anique was great. Super helpful in providing advice for improving my photography. And on top of great locations from which to shoot (not easy in Dubai, where the skyline and viewpoints are constantly changing or being obstructed by new construction).

Organised a night time tour from 7.30pm onwards at our request with no problems. Anique was a great guide to the city and its history as well as a great help with photography. The venues were good and transport was by private car. A little walking only required. My wife came along with her cell phone and enjoyed the trip also. Can’t recommend it highly enough and would certainly do another tour if we returned.

Thanks to Anique for taking me on the street photography tour yesterday. It was a great few hours and showed parts of Dubai that I wasn't aware of, from the souks to the creek to the Iranian cargo boats and their crews to the wonderful view at the end. Anique was knowledgeable, interesting and a great conversationalist and it was a fun few hours.

What a fantastic journey. Anique took us to some wonderful places we would never have dream about. As a talented photographer Anique gave us lots of advises to get breathtaking shoots.
In addition to a great professional, the kindness of Anique is amoung all what will make us book a new photo shoot when we will come back to Dubai.

We were very impressed with Anique's skill and knowledge of photography and of Dubai. I have experience as a photographer, but my husband is a beginner. Anique was patient with us and could easily answer all of our photography questions. He gave us tips on composition and took us to some great out-of-the-way locations that only well-connected locals of Dubai would know. Not only is he a good teacher, but he is a very talented photographer and an all-around nice guy to work with. Whether you're a professional photographer in need of great photography locations or a budding photographer that needs help with your camera settings, Anique is your guy. We will definitely rebook with Anique on our next trip to Dubai.
