Dubai Aladdin Tour - The tour guide was very informative and the experience was amazing! The tour guide took care to ensure that we were catered for in the nicest possible “Middle Eastern” manner. I would recommend this tour thoroughly, just be prepared with plenty of Factor cream, Sun Hat (one that does not blow away), and a mini boat ride from one platform of the river to the other. Have plenty of water to hand and a mini fan, particularly if you come from a cold climate, or have just come out of a wintry season. The souk market is very cultural and lots of nice spices to buy :-) The Desert Safari is not for the faint hearted, but you can request that they take it easy, around the sand dunes. A really nice tour and would definitely go again when visiting Dubai.

This was recommended to us as best tour in UAE and we agree! - Best access to education about the history, culture, religion and future plans of Dubai we had during our 9 days in the UAE. Excellent guide through the walking tour of newer area close to the old rebuilt area. I would recommend this part of town for shopping (barter though!) Items may be from china but if you like them, get your best price quickly and buy them. You won't necessarily find similar items somewhere else. My friend did buy and she got some good stuff at good prices whereas I didn't buy or shop so I missed out. I did get some things elsewhere but not everything I was looking for.

A perfect day exploring - We had a wonderful day Hamza was excellent and shared so much knowledge, the spots we visited were all very interesting and the souks were bustling and exciting. Hamza was great at explaining the different types of spices and all that we needed to know. Hamza was very kind and made sure we were all well hydrated as it was a very hot day. Very happy we did this tour thank you

Awesome Experience - The tour was very good. I highly recommend this tour. Hamza was my tour guide and he did an incredible job. He was very pleasant and provided a great amount of information about Dubai and the UAE. It was extremely hot during the tour but Hamza made it bearable.

Aladdin Walks in Dubai - I did this Aladdin walk in Dubai with Hamza as our Guide. He was so knowledgeable & attentive during our walking tour & took time to answer our questions & covered any special areas of individual interest we had. My interest was the perfume souks which the tour came close to but didn't include so Hamza took extra time @ the end of our tour to show me where to go & how to get back to the hotel & I really appreciated his thoughtfulness & guidance. I can thoroughly recommend this tour 👌

Book this tour! - Hamza was our guide for the Aladdin Tour and was theee best! He is a knowledgeable (and hilarious!) guide that showed us awesome food and gave us the best negotiating tips and told us how to navigate both souks so that we would be able to get great deals on our purchases. Would highly recommend!

Tour with Francis - 23rd April - Great tour with extremely knowledgeable and funny Francis. We found the history and present-day facts about UAE very interesting. Longish walk to boat ride, which was great Spice Souk good but prepare to be relentlessly hassled by every store keeper, we'd had enough after a quick walk and escaped outside. Gold Souk better and sights were amazing, tour finished 20 mins early? Luckily, we booked the premium tour, so we received food & drink, tastings were lacking just a small sip of coffee and 2 chocolates when description said many tastings? We've done food tours in other countries and were inundated with food. Overall, though, would recommend.
