Souk tour
Our guide, Mr Muhammad, took us on a brilliant tour of the gold and spice areas. He explained the history of the UAE and the souk areas and gave some instructions on the haggling process. A very worthwhile and interesting tour.

Amazing Time and worth it!

Fun way to spend a layover in Dubai
When I travel solo, I will sometimes book a photo shoot to soak up some local knowledge and get some great photos. I know the photos from this shoot will be professional-quality, and the guide also was very kind about guiding me around. The only thing that could have made it better would have been to slow down through the spice market.

Walking tour in old Dubai
Our tour guide was amazing. Well informed, and answered all of our questions. Before booking the tour I wasn’t thrilled about walking the distance, but I’m glad we did. We were able to maneuver in and out the shops with ease. We will definitely return and use the same tour guide.

Highly recommend
Brilliant tour, Ricky was great. So full of knowledge. It was a highlight of the holiday. The Arabian Tea house is lovely so go early and have tea and food, really nice place. Lovely to see the traditional houses and the souks. Loved the abra boat trip to the gold souk. Highly recommend this tour. My 10 year old loved it .

Good half day tour to give a good exposure to the souks.
Took this to give us an overview of the Spice and Gold Souks. It did just that. Muhammad Makhtiar was patient and helpful as I just couldn't resist shopping.

Loved The Experience of Souq Shopping
Loved our tour guide, Tahir, who was kind enough to take us back to the soul and allow us to complete our shopping after another couple had to be taken back to their hotel to be on time for a wedding rehearsal. He went above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed ourselves and shopped until we were ready to depart. In all, he spent roughly six hours with us and didn't complain once. Great job and great service!
