5.00Really great. Felt I sampled the real Dubai. Guide was very informative. I loved the souks. And the art museum. I just wished we had more time to spend. Have a longer wander. Have a coffee and a cake but it was quite rushed. But still very enjoyable

3.00Good and informative guide. Spice shop charged $114 for half a pound of nuts and a few ounces is spices. Credit card refund looks suspicious. First pick up at 9; the last at 10:30. Late getting back. "B list stops." Driver shuffled some passengers into cab to get them back earlier than took them out of cab and substituted others . Stop at side of road until some buddy came along with enough gas to get the rest of of home. Not a good day
