Best tour of old Dubai - First of all is perfect on time and communication! Then he really speak a perfect Spanish and most important he’ll explain in every detail the history of everything you passing by. Helps you with the shops also. I personally think that this tour is worth much more than what I pay , hope to come back with the family to do it again
