Very interesting to see a different side to Dubai. Very informative and friendly guide. Went out of his way to make our tour enjoyable. Would recommend.

Shahzad gave us a fantastic tour of old Dubai, from historic Al Seef area to the spice and gold souks, bringing great knowledge, both historic and personal from his 25 years living in Dubai.
The tour was exactly as described, if not better! Shahzad even walked us back to a metro station to help with our onward travel.
Can 100% recommend!
