Our guide, Hichem, accompanied us in Italian throughout the tour, illustrating the history of Ancient Dubai, the historical, cultural and artistic context of the United Arab Emirates and made us discover in an authentic and detailed way with attention to the values of Islamic civilization, culture and religion without neglecting their traditional uses and customs. He was really attentive to everything, offering us a lunch break (with typical and appropriate foods for me, especially lactose intolerant and with intestinal problems) in a typical restaurant with a view of the waterway that we then traveled on the fascinating abra along the old city. The spice and chocolate souk is truly suggestive, wellness products, in fact, the Hibiscus-based drink offered to us was a panacea for me, as was the welcome tea. At the Gold Souk we were able to admire splendid jewelry shops and see the largest gold ring in the world. The only flaw Ichim is Juventus;-) I highly recommend

I had an amazing tour today through Old Dubai, and it was truly a memorable experience. We visited a traditional restaurant where we got to taste authentic local dishes, also we visited the coffee museum and then explored the vibrant souks. However, the highlight of the day was undoubtedly our tour guide Momen. He was exceptional, extremely knowledgeable, polite, and pleasant. He made our day incredibly enjoyable and interesting. I highly recommend his tours to anyone looking to explore Dubai in a meaningful way. Thank you once again for an incredible day!

I had an amazing walking tour in Dubai on August 29, 2024! We explored the vibrant Gold Souk and Spice Market, saw the world's largest ring, and enjoyed a fun Abra boat ride. Our guide Fahad was fantastic, sharing fascinating insights throughout the 2.5-hour tour. It all started from Al Seef in Bur Dubai, and I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Dubai!

Tour was great. Hamza, our guide, was knowledgeable, fun and delivered the tour with a good sense of humour and happily answered all our questions. It was excellent value, with substantial snacks provided too. A really lovely way to spend a few hours in the evening!

On our booking it said we had snacks and juice. Our guide said our name was not on the list.
