Cyndie is the best ever. We learned in 2 hrs what we couldn't have learned in 4 days in Dubai. She is very knowledgeable of the history but she was also pleasant. She even decided to wait longer to ensure we would get the best deal at the gold souk

Our guide Ahmad was truly amazing, my 5 years old liked him so much and wanted to walk with him the entire tour. This was definitely one of the best tours I ever had, very entertaining and informative. I would recommend it.

We loved the old town in Dubai and the insight into the traditional way of life. We also really enjoyed the boat ride over Dubai creek.

This walking tour was excellent and surpassed our expectations. Cyndi was a great tour guide, very entertaining and informative. She had her work cut out for her, leading the tour in both English and French. We learned a lot about Old Dubai and Arabic culture. It was a very very hot day, but cyndi included many stops indoors or in shaded areas. She also provided bottled waters at the beginning and midpoint of the tour. I really enjoyed getting to walk straight into the Sheikh Mohammed Cultural Centre and straight into the Dubai Creek Abras (boats) without waiting at all. I really enjoyed the historical parts of the tour, but the information on buying spices, cofee, and shopping in thr souks was helpful too. This tour was very affordable and a great way to spend a morning in Old Dubai.

This tour was very enjoyable and exceeded our expectations. Cyndi was a great tour guide and had her work cut out for her, doing the tour in both English and French. It was a very very hot day during the tour, but the tour had lots of stops in the shade or inside buildings. Cyndi also had bottled water available at the beginning and midpoint of the tour. We loved that we were just able to walk right into the Sheikh Mohammed cultural centre and onto the abras (boats) without waiting. Our guide was full of information and suggestions for spending our time in the souks. This tour was very affordable and a good way to see and learn about "Old Dubai".
