Cindy the tour guide was funny and engaging. She kept her group participating and kept us informed the entire time. The tour was informative and not too tiring as there were places to sit almost all along. Cindy also showed us an example of true Arabic hospitality by offering us tea and snacks during the tour.

Mustafa was incredibly informative and was a joy to be around! This tour was amazing. As someone who is a first time visitor of Dubai, we were def overwhelmed with how hectic souks could be. It was nice to have a guide who showed us around and told us about the history of Al seef. Definitely do this tour - it is incredibly worth it!

Simply the best and most knowledgeable tour guide ever encountered…and done well 3 languages
Historic detailed locales explained and brought to life…do expect a rigorous pace of show and tell…with a surprising dhow boat ride…and several tastings also included in historic Creek area as well as in souks
Ditch the bus or car tours and learn so much more with this lady!

I really enjoyed the old city tour with Mustafa as guide. It is a different perspective of Dubai where you learn more about the history, traditional culture and general life of Dubai before it became what we know today. The guide also provide us with some tastings and knowledge about spices which I really liked!

Very good value for money. We didn't get her name but the French lady tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Liked that you could taste foods and drinks in a private shop so there were no obligations to then buy. Well paced and definitely recommend! Thank you!

A nice introduction to the old part of the city. After the tour, I stuck around the old town to discover more on my own. I also came back the following day. Even though I was staying not far from the meeting point, I doubt I would have been able to find and discover this lovely part of town alone. Highly recommended.
