What You’ll Never Find in a Guidebook
★★★★★
If you’re planning a trip to Dubai or anywhere in the UAE, ask Michela Spugnini — seriously, she’s the best! She knows all the real spots, the local places you’d never find in a guidebook, and she’ll help you avoid the tourist traps. Michela’s been here since before Dubai was “Dubai”, so she really knows the country inside out. You can trust her 100%!

A Point of Reference
★★★★★
An incredible discovery just arrived in Dubai. Not only is she a wonderful guide who shows you this modern city through different eyes, but above all, she has become a point of reference and a special friend who helps you discover the “beautiful” Dubai!
Thank you, Michela, for the immense passion you share with us! ❤️

Family and Fun Atmosphere
★★★★★
I've already followed Michela on her itineraries and initiatives more than once... she's never disappointed my expectations, she's always satisfied my curiosity... and she's taught me and helped me understand and get to know better a country where I live, which is so different from my own... and why not... to establish a slightly deeper connection with it. I'll never stop following your initiatives because your professionalism, built over the years, gives us days of learning, yet wrapped in a family and fun atmosphere!
Thank you, Michela, for all the work you put into this project!!!

Michela is the best! Always available, extremely knowledgeable, and original!
I recommend her to all my friends who come to visit me here in Dubai because she offers all kinds of tours, even "special itineraries" for those who want a different experience!
And for those of us who live here, there are so many opportunities to discover hidden corners and unique stories about our host country!
Thanks for everything, always!

Enthusiasm and Profound Passion
★★★★★
I never imagined I'd discover Dubai this way. Thanks to Michela's extraordinary guide, I was able to see the city through completely different eyes: not just skyscrapers and modernity, but a world rich in history, traditions, and culture I was completely unaware of.
With her infectious enthusiasm and profound passion, she managed to open up treasure troves of knowledge and curiosity, sharing anecdotes and details that made me fall in love with this city even more.
The "Shindaga mon amour" tour was a journey through time: from the birth of the Emirates to the magic of perfumes and spices, each stop was a unique sensory and cultural experience.
An experience I recommend to anyone who wants to discover the true soul of Dubai, the one hidden behind the lights and glittering shop windows.

Nothing is Improvised
★★★★★
Michela is a tireless source of inspiration. Her advice is always thoughtful, tailored, and grounded in firsthand experiences she’s tested herself before sharing with us.
She has “rescued” me more than once by creating personalized paths for friends, relatives, and children—always with the same enthusiasm, hands-on experience, and kindness. Among the many things I value about her is that nothing she does is ever improvised; everything stems from careful research. Her ability to understand people’s needs and provide tailored solutions is invaluable.
Well done, Michela! And thank you!!!

Human Interaction
★★★★★
Michela has been a shining beam of light for me since I started exploring Emirates culture. Even during the dark ages of Covid she found a way for us to discover and appreciate the history, culture and rich heritage of our hosting country. I remember fondly joining her tours as a real treat at a time when travelling was complicated and human interaction scarce. Thank you for bringing such an interesting, dynamic and pleasant presence in Dubai 💚

An Experience that Goes Beyond the Journey
★★★★★
With Michela Spugnini, every itinerary becomes a story.
It's not just about visiting places, but entering them on tiptoe, with curiosity and respect, discovering details and nuances that escape a distracted glance.
Her expertise is solid, but what makes her unique is the passion with which she intertwines history, culture, and personal anecdotes, transforming each tour into a living dialogue with Dubai and the Emirates.
What elsewhere would be a simple excursion, with Special Itineraries becomes an authentic and profound experience of discovery.
Michela manages to convey the soul of the places, with a perfect balance of information, emotion, and lightheartedness.
I recommend her tours to those visiting Dubai for the first time, as well as to those who have lived there for years: you'll realize that there's always something new to see... or rather, to feel.
Thank you, Michela, for making us travel with fresh eyes every time!

A Truly Unique Perspective
★★★★★
A special guide for an authentic Dubai
When I arrived in Dubai, knowing I'd be living there for a few years, I was looking for someone to help me discover its most authentic side, beyond the usual stereotypes.
I entrusted myself to Michela from Itinerari Speciali, and from that first tour I immediately realized I'd found much more than a guide: a passionate, attentive professional capable of describing the city with depth, sensitivity, and a truly unique perspective.
Two years have passed since then, and every time family or friends come to visit me, I entrust her—without hesitation—with organizing their experiences. Everyone returns enthusiastic, impressed by the stories, the details, and the beauty of the places they visit.
Whether it's a cultural tour, a desert experience, or a more exclusive itinerary, Michela always manages to create something special, tailor-made, with intelligence and great care.
I recommend Itinerari Speciali to first-time visitors, as well as to those who live here and want to rediscover Dubai in a new light. Thanks Michela!

Love and Intelligence
★★★★★
In 5 days we managed to experience many things.
Our trip was organized and planned with love and intelligence, designed to combine the needs of the children with those of the adults. I highly recommend taking a guided city tour to understand and also savor its past.
The desert experience was truly fascinating. The girls loved sliding on the sand and jumping over the dunes in the car. The dinner was excellent.
