I can easily recommend Hesham's tour of the Old Dubai. The information he provided was very useful and especially for those who were in the Emirates for the first time, it must have been really interesting to hear about the history and culture of the whole country and not only Dubai or just the Old District that we visited. What is more, Hesham engages the group into conversations, some quizzes, etc. The tour took part in the month of Ramadan so it was not possible to get some coffee or snacks- which as the guide mentioned - would have been provided otherwise. In general, the tour and the guide are highly recommended for both 'the beginners' of Dubai or for someone - as myself- who has already seen some places.
This tour company is completely unprofessional and it's not recommended at all. Even though we received a confirmation email about the time and place of the tour; when we turned up we were told that on that day a tour in English was cancelled. We were not the only ones so it was not a mistake. Added to this was a very arrogant attitude of the guides present who did not offer any apology or suggestion as to another tour company or even to join a tour in Spanish. I spoke to them in Spanish so it was not a question of the guides not understanding what I ask about. My friend doesn't speak Spanish so that's why we did need a tour in English. It is the first time I'm writing a negative review of a free walking tour but these guys behaviour as extremely unprofessional and rude.
