A wonderful trip with Mazher - We were travelling with our 85 year old father but despite is slow walking, our tour guide, Mazher, was very accommodating. There’s a lot of walking so make sure you have comfy shoes, hat and sunglasses against the sun!
We saw many of the sights including Al Seef as well as taking an Abra across the creek to visit the Souks and help us negotiate the shopping!
Mazhar was very kind and patient, taking time to answer our questions and explaining the history of the founding of Dubai.
We were very happy with the trip and can definitely recommend this company and Mazher who made it an enjoyable time in Dubai.

Family friendly - Shahzad was our tour guide. He was really good and patient with us. He also helped us get amazing deals in the market and even stayed a bit longer to make sure we got a ride back to our hotel. The tour was informative and really good. Highly recommend :)

Enjoyable experience - It was very nice of Malik's brother that he explained everything with details only when it was necessary so that we could have a glimpse of the arabian culture. We felt special.

Great tour - We had a great time to visit the old Dubai. We saw the Souq, perfumes, gold, jeweleries, spices, and we had a 5 minute trip by boat. It was very enjoyable!

Best tour - We had a wonderful time with Malik’s brother. He clarified all our questions, not only about Dubai, but also about the arab culture. We had so much fun together and I wish we could have stayed more. Totally recommend.

A very informative experience - It was a pleasant, interactive experience. Malik's brother, our guide, told us a lot about the Arabian culture, religion, their way of living. We had the chance to taste some very good coffee with camel milk and found out things about spices and perfumed oils. I really recommend this experience.

Great to see a different side of Dubai - We had a lovely time with Ikram. Saw the old town of Dubai, learnt a lot about the city, culture and religion and tasted some local specialities. The Ikra ride across the creek was beautiful during the sunset.

No WhatsApp - need to be advised this is the communication method! - We were shown Dubai’s old town which was mainly closed as it was mid-afternoon. Guide attempted to change our tour time due to the heat. He couldn’t contact us as we do not have WhatsApp, There is no mention of communication via WhatsApp when booking.
We were taken to the Gold Souq and Spice Souq.
A good experience.
