Our recent Old Dubai walking tour was a wonderful experience for our family, especially with a toddler in tow. Booking a private tour was a great decision as it perfectly suited our needs. Our guide was incredibly helpful and patient, especially when we encountered toddler tantrums along the way.

Their knowledge about the area was impressive, and they made the tour both informative and enjoyable. We highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to explore Old Dubai with a knowledgeable guide who goes above and beyond to accommodate their guests.

I had a great time with Cyndie on this tour!! She was extremely knowledgeable about Dubai history, but also very knowledgeable about how to get the best deals in the Gold Souk! The best part was that she spent extra time with me at the souk to make sure I found the exact pieces I wanted and made sure I got the best deal! If you're looking for a trip to a souk to get jewelry & want some Dubai history along the way, she is your gal!!! Thanks Cyndie!!!!

The best part was that she spent extra time with me at the souk to make sure I found the exact pieces I wanted, she helped me compare prices to similar products at other stores (can confirm the one she took me to had the best deal😉) and even made sure to follow up the next day to make sure I was happy with my purchase ! If you're looking for a trip to a souk to get jewelry and want some history along the way, Cyndie is your gal!!! Thanks Cyndie!!!!

As a travel enthusiast and a lover of rich Islamic architectural heritage, I have always been fascinated with this place when I first visited this place in 1985. Was enchanted by the typical Arabian cultural ambience the items on display in the shops, the rich gold souk, the Arabian perfumes especially the non alcoholic Itar, the Oud, the Arabian and Turkish lamps on display with which one has always been fascinated.In addition the local restaurants with Arabic cuisine that’s non spicy and a real treat to the travellers palate. It’s been more than 4 decades now and still counting as Dubai has never stopped fascinating nor enchanting as it’s been a gradual transition and remarkable transformation as it does continue to cast a magic sell over me !

We did a private tour with our very friendly and knowledgeable guide - Hichem. He took us to all the good heritage places and avoided the fake area of old Dubai. Will totally recommend this tour to het a super quick (2 hrs) immersive experience of old Dubai. Don’t forget to end the trip with foood at Arabian tea house. Amazing ambience .
