No need for hesitation

If I could rate this more than 5 stars, I would! Muhammmed our guide was really helpful, respectful and kind. He gave us tips about the market, he showed us around, and the tour gave an authentic and a different vibe of Dubai. Highly recommend!!

This was a nice little...

This was a nice little tour to get the feeling of old town Dubai…l really enjoyed it. Great selection from pick up to drop off…. Although the timeframe was enough, the shopping times wee somewhat tight. 20 minutes isn’t really enough to actually stroll through the shops and go crazy on bargaining etc. But the food, tasting, and refreshments were amazing. O My trip started with the hotel pickup. My driver Malik was very punctual, courteous, and welcoming. We had a great chat to and from the tour. Our tour guide Seef, was great. He had a wonderful sense of humor, he knows what he is doing, he is very courteous and talkative, and above all, he is very respectful.

Informative

This was a very informative tour. We went in late October and found it quite difficult to roam around for 3h - there is obviously nothing the guide can do about the weather but just mentioning this to manage expectations of those who may not be ready for a 3h tour in 36 degrees.

This experience was AMAZING! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and happy to share his culture and history. I learned so much! The pickup and drop-off were perfectly organised, and our driver was kind and drove safely. Highly, highly recommend this experience! It’s a fantastic way to see so much of Dubai in a short amount of time.
