Syed was our guide on this tour and he was extremely knowledgeable and personable, he gave us a lot of background on Dubai and was able to answer our queries too. He made my family comfortable through out the tour and provided us good tips on navigating the spice and gold souk.

Fun Tour but annoying vendors

quanita_s, Mar 2023

Fun experience especially the abra boat ride to the spice and gold souks. There is so much to see and buy however the vendors stoping you at every turn trying to sell you things and not taking no for an answer was a bit annoying. Tahir was great and had such a fun personality. I would recommend this tour!

Jessica_Z, Jul 2022

It was a nice experience having our guide Tahir bring us to various shops. It was only four hours so it depends on how much shopping you want to do. But it was sufficient to visit souks a few different.
