2.00I need to start by saying our guide was very knowledgeable and informative of the history of old Dubai. If this was a history tour I would give great reviews. Being this was a food tour, we expected to be treated to the better food options and restaurants/food booths in Old Dubai. Where we were taken was gross. The restaurants were dirty and the food well below average. Quite disgusting really. I do not recommend this at all for the price paid. You can easily go to the meeting point of the Arabian Tea House (which was lovely inside and the food and ambience looked A+,, buy yourself a lovely lunch, then walk around old Dubai your self.
Amazing experience!
