We just do it..... - From the moment we arrived, everything felt elegant but still comfortable. We glad our guide was with us he was super helpful explaining the palace, the traditions behind the tea, and the little things we would've totally missed on our own.

Would highly recommend! - An amazing experience to celebrate my special birthday! Excellent value for money, outstanding service and an unforgettable experience. Have recommended this to many others already! Phyu was attentive, not pushy and gave us plenty of time to fully enjoy the experience. We left incredibly full. Thank you so much! Would definitely do it again.

Highly Recommend this Special Tea - This was a wonderful tea experience. Our waiter, Dino was very attentive and explained everything very clearly. We were able to have 3 different types of tea each and enjoy the famous coffee served with gold flakes with our dessert selection. The food was tasty and plentiful. There was live music and the hotel was decorated beautifully. The large Christmas tree was very special. I have had tea at the Waldorf in NYC and the Plaza. This was much more special and served in a much more comfortable area. Also at $82.00 each this was a good value. And lastly, Dino’s kindness and welcoming attitude made it a truly memorable day.

Unforgettable Afternoon Tea with My Mother at Emirates Palace" - My mother and I recently visited the Emirates Palace Private Afternoon Tea, organized by Sougat Tourism, and it was an absolutely delightful experience that we will always cherish The food was the highlight of our visit. Every item on the menu was incredibly flavorful and beautifully presented. From the perfectly brewed teas to the delicious finger sandwiches, warm scones, and exquisite desserts, everything was a treat to the taste buds. My mother couldn’t stop praising how well-prepared and tasty everything was.

Great Experience with Sougat Tourism at Emirates Palace - My mother was particularly impressed by the efficiency and fast service provided by the team. They were attentive and ensured everything went smoothly. While the food was good, it was more on the standard side, but the overall experience, especially the service, made up for it. Thank you to Sougat Tourism for a well-organized outing. My mother and I truly appreciated the great hospitality

An Exceptional Culinary Experience at Emirates Palace" - My wife and I had the pleasure of visiting the Emirates Palace Private Afternoon Tea, organized by Sougat Tourism, and it was a truly delightful experience. The food was undoubtedly the highlight of the visit. Every dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented, and exceeded our expectations. My wife absolutely loved the culinary offerings and couldn’t stop praising the quality and taste. The tea, while good, was fairly standard, but the excellent food more than made up for it.

Tea time - Good service. Good food, too bad seating inside looking like a hallway with no view . Tea selection was great. Worth the $$ no. Been to others around the world a had better food and a lot less money

Beautiful place, but sadly that’s where it ends! - Beautiful place, majestic hallway. But that’s where it ends! The exterior Palace and gardens are phenomenal, unfortunately the interior setting makes you feel like your sat in mall. No view or windows to look out onto which would have been more like the burj, to us it’s misplaced. We wernt overly impressed with the afternoon t either, slightly overpriced and ordinary, I can only compare it to a uk poor mamma Doreen’s . Sadly we won’t go back as it’s not for us but this is only our POV.
