5.00This tour exceeded my expectations. Zee, the tour guide, was excellent. He was very professional and knowledgeable. My husband is a history buff and he thoroughly enjoyed learning about old and new Dubai. I highly recommend this tour and if you are able to recommend Zee, I assure you, you will not be disappointed.

5.00Awesome tour! Heidi is amazing guide and very knowledgeable. Great value for money. Highly recommend!
Good tour for information and history, less so for street food.

4.00The tour guide Noor Ahmad was fantastic. He’d been doing this a while so he had lots of useful information. The one thing that would propel this tour to a 5-star rating would be more emphasis on the “street food” portion of the tour. I booked it thinking that we’d get a more interactive time with vendors and learning more about food culture, but what we got was a falafel, samosa, and a shwarma wrap in a bag. Good tour overall, but could be excellent.
Long Walking tour with historical facts

3.00This tour is extremely long. When taking this tour I did not know it would start at an old restaurant going over the history of Dubai then going into the old town then going to the mosque before doing the Abra and the old souk tour. If you were just interested in seeing the soup and trying street foods that are offered at the souk, this is not a good tour to choose. However, if you want to know the history of old Dubai in the history of it is so while doing a walking tour around the old city before going to the market and this is a great choice.
Not bad for the price.
