I truly recommend! It was an amazing experience, I got to know a lot about the local culture and the visited places were stunning! I really enjoyed walking around the peaceful area as well as markets, the cruise and local food were great. The tips about buying the products are really good and I would never get informed about them if not the very professional tout guide. Everything was perfectly on time, very interesting and helpful

Dubai: Old Town, Dubai Creek, and Souks Tour Reviewed by Patrycja, 16/01/2021

We have been here in Dubai for over a month and this was the best experience we have had. The guide was excellent and made the experience memorable. We took a couple with us that had lived here for 14 years and they were amazed at the things we saw. This is a must do when traveling here.
