Great tour. Great food. - The tour today was great. We booked our tour the night before, and by pure luck, it ended up being a private tour just for the 2 of us. Mansoor has been excellent. He took time to explain everything and gave us a thorough tour of all the locations. He gave us tips on how to deal with locals and vendors. Highly recommended.

Fun time in Old Town Dubai - Tamour was great and told us a great amount of information regarding Old Town. The food was tasty and after walking the neighborhood first, you worked up a hunger. Would recommend.
