    usually I join the walking tour in each destination I travel to, I was not expecting Dubai has this old districts and traditions, we missed the tour at 10am, but they scheduled another tour for us by afternoon. The weather was perfect and the tour guide was unbelievable literally he explains everything, u feel that you’re watching film on Netflix in the 18 century. 10/10 for the price. 10/10 for the tour guide. 10/10 for the flexibility & the sales team.
