Our tour guide was super nice and the tour taught us alot and we saw alot of things we probably would never see alone. I definatley recommend this tour!
Nice way to see another side of Dubai

I enjoyed this walking tour through Old Dubai. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we learned about the history, architecture, and had the opportunity to taste various treats, tea and coffee. This is a good way to see something other than the opulent side of Dubai.
I opted for the hotel pickup so that I was certain to reach the meeting spot on time. As a solo traveler I appreciated this option. The company sends a driver to pick you up and take you.
There was some confusion at the end of the tour for myself and another family in this tour. We all purchased the tour that said you are returned to the same spot where you started. The guide stated it was ending when we were all on the opposite side of the river. After a brief discussion, he rode with us back over the river and walked me towards the metro station and the other folks to a restaurant which was much appreciated.

A great host and a really good look at Dubai as was originally and really good to see the old town and to find out about the old traditions and way of life

A brilliant, informative, fun experience for us all. Our guide was lovely and took lots of time to explain all parts of the trip and he also got us involved which was nice. Our children aged 11 and 12 enjoyed the trip and learnt lots, as did we. The kids loved seeing the golden football boot and cricket ball in the gold souks and the boat trip. We tried new drinks and local delicacies, a real experience for the kids! I never thought they would eat a date, but when covered in chocolate, it was a hit! We would definitely recommend this tour to friends. 10/10
Engaging and illuminating trip through old Dubai

I really recommend this trip. We started with breakfast at the Arabian Tea House and then met our guide. I'd mistakenly booked the wrong day but he was super flexible and welcomed us on that day's tour as there was space. It was a really informative and interesting tour of old Dubai and some of the traditions there.
