Lots of delicious food and historical facts. We learned a lot about the history and development of the UAE. There was so much food that we had to take some home with us.
Tamour our guide was exceptional. He had great knowledge of the area and extremely personable. It was a great tour
Tamour did a great job. He is personable and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him for other toyrs
He was 90 mins late, and the food tour was not what I had expected at all. I don’t think I will go back to this company.
The tour with Temour was fantastic! We had a great time of exploring the hidden gems of the old city, he has a great knowledge and knows a story of every corner in the city! I had the opportunity to see Dubai almost free of tourist, and it was wonderfull, I was not affraid for a moment, everything is very safe! I highly recommend to take this tour!
Had a private tour with Tamour. The tour was very relaxed and informative with great insights into the history and great food stops for local cuisine. Would definitely recommend this tour of old Dubai for anyone visiting Dubai!
We had a truly excellent afternoon Tamour. He was fun and knowledgeable, and made sure we did not go hungry! He brought us to food places we would have walked past, with excellent quality and flavours. I would absolutely recommend.
We had 3 food stops, nothing exciting. Guide was fine but tried to get me to cancel my desert tour and book with them, $100 less for a way less experience, I just wanted a food tour not a sell me tour, also the tea place was good but I wish I could sample the tea instead of just smelling it. Go visit the gold market alone and sample some food it will be a better experience.
Tamper was a terrific guide. We really saw so much that we would never have found by ourselves. We appreciated the commentary, the knowledgeable information and the food!
This tour was well worth the price. We loved the spice souks and learning all about the history of the city. Tamour was the best guide. We would highly recommend!
