5.00Very good experience although you should keep in mind that : while they take dollars everywhere in Dubai but only accept NEW bills, not only here exclude small faces. If not excluding big-face ones that are not newer. Only accept issue dollars from 2010 onwards

5.00Our guide, Mr Muhammad, took us on a brilliant tour of the gold and spice areas. He explained the history of the UAE and the souk areas and gave some instructions on the haggling process. A very worthwhile and interesting tour.
Amazing Time and worth it!

5.00This was a last minute tour for us as we really wanted to experience souks but little idea of the best way to do so. We found this tour and I can honestly say it was worth every penny, Tahir was so knowledgeable and went above and beyond for us and completely exceeded our expectations! We learned how to haggle and he knew the best spot to take us. If you want to experience the souks then this is the trip for you Thank you for such a great time, we really enjoyed it

5.00Loved our tour guide, Tahir, who was kind enough to take us back to the soul and allow us to complete our shopping after another couple had to be taken back to their hotel to be on time for a wedding rehearsal. He went above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed ourselves and shopped until we were ready to depart. In all, he spent roughly six hours with us and didn't complain once. Great job and great service!

4.00Our guide was accommodating-prompt-and friendly. The ride was comfortable. If you have traveled to countries with ancient souks-this is not the same. Unfortunately there are made in China products-imported goods and aggressive vendors. Once I realized the reality and relaxed into the neon sign shopping experience- I purchased pashminas and spices. But I encourage you to GO-experience everything Dubai has to offer! The ride across the river was a good way to experience the culture as it was years ago.
Tahir was amazing guide

4.00I appreciated having Tahir Hussain as a tour guide, he was attentive, courteous and informative. While waiting for the boat to cross Dubai Creek he showed me photos of old Dubai, which I found interesting. Tahir carried my bag while in the souk and kept an eye on my belongings, and he endeavoured to find the items I wanted to purchase. If / when I come back to Dubai I would be more than happy to have Tahir as my tour guide again.
