    Don't want to give a rating because we didn't actually get to do the tour. Unfortunately our guide had to cancel but l imagine it would have been an excellent tour. Just waiting for the refund.

    Francis our tour guide is an amazing person with nice piece of history. Our group enjoyed the Abra boat ride. Prepping us and guiding us in the gold and spice souks very helpful . We will use this guide again anytime visiting Dubai. Thank you.
