    The guide dressed as local ( originally from Egypt) didn’t explain much and we had stops all over. We didn’t get much information and we didn’t get tips about the local markets. The boat ride was just few minutes and in each market we were taken to a specific shop to buy. It’s more like a shopping tour unlike what’s promised.

    The tour was very rushed and the guide did a poor job of explaining the history behind the tour 👎🏽 Apparently, the guide himself is new to Dubai and a foreigner as well, so what he was able to explain seemed very basic. The snack was Indian food, which was not told to us prior. The best part of the tour was the local markets, which were very interesting and beautiful to explore, but unfortunately we were rushed and didn’t have time to do any shopping. Instead, we were brought to one shop in every market, which were very expensive. I’m sure we got ripped off as tourists! One star

    I and my fiance went for an Old Dubai tour. Our guide Hichem was incredible. Very knowledgeable. He perfectly explained the culture and showed us around. We had such a fun day. And we even purchased our wedding rings from Gold Souk 🥰.
