Great guide and tour

Great guide and great tour of the souk and the City of Dubai. Served food was amazing and delicious. It is totally recommend to do the private tour instead with a big group.

Perfect for a long layover

We did this tour on 12 hour layover in Dubai. It was a perfect way to spend some time. Had so much good food and got some shopping in too. Come hungry, you'll leave full.

Old Town Experience

Our guide Ali was very kind and enjoyed lots of local food while learning about Dubai’s history! I was guided to a point where it was difficult to get in alone, and it was a very valuable experience. Thank you, Ali.
