After doing one of these tours I ended up doing the rest as well. They are laid-back but fun and informative. Dubai doesnt have as much history as a lot of other tourism destinations but these tours do a great job imparting information you wont hear elsewhere about this unique city. The guides are professional and personable. Id highly recommend this company to get you acquainted with the city.

Took the art tour of the Al Serkal Avenue in an industrial area of the city. It was lovely to see the galleries with a guide who knew not only about the art, but the artists behind the work. In addition to the galleries we were treated to a small chocolate factory tour and a classic car showroom. Loved this tour!

A fantastic overall experience! The guide was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and the tour was so interesting and gave us the opportunity to see parts of Old Dubai that we hadnt seen before and to learn a lot along the way! I would highly recommend it and will definitely be trying out more of the Free Tours by Foot.

We had the most remarkable tour of Old Dubai with Dubai by Foot. Not only everything was perfect, but we felt, in every instance, that our guides truly cared about us, both the kids and adults, and did their best to make this trip memorable. This definitely has become the most eye-opening experience something we will remember and cherish for many years to come. We definitely will be back!

This food walk is a must do for anyone going to Dubai. Beyond the glitz Downtown, Pri walked us through the hidden alleys and older parts of Dubai including the spice souk. It was so refreshing, enlightening and filling...a wide variety of food to awaken your palates! The main course Machboos and Luqaimat was the highlight for me.

After about 9 days in Oman we ended our vacation with a few days in Dubai. We didnt expect much from Dubai other than luxury and shopping, but Ricky certainly managed to show us Dubai from a completely different angle on the Old Dubai 101 tour. In a few hours we both learned a ton about the history of Dubai and UAE in general, explored Arabic architecture in Al Fahidi heritage side, experienced the local markets and goods (spices, perfume, food, gold etc) and sailed from one part of Dubai to another. Its an amazing way to start your vacation by getting a solid understanding of the country youve come to and also a great opportunity to get personalized suggestions on what to see during your stay (whether it be a week or a day more). Ricky was extremely knowledgeable, kind, easy to talk to and very helpful with suggestions. We also had a very good time with the rest of the people on the tour as well (we were seven people with different nationalities and it was a good group size for the tour).Whether you come to Dubai for the luxury, expensive hotels and extravagance or you wish dig down into the culture, history or architecture of the region, I can definitely recommend going on this tour.

Interesting walk around the old town with our guide today. We booked a private old Dubai tour and were glad to have done the tour. It was exactly what we were looking for, museums, culture, the souks and the Abra ride. My favorite was the Coffee Museum , very unique and we tasted traditional coffee as well. Thank you guys!

I recently did a walking tour with ‘Dubai by Foot’ and it was an amazing experience! Our private tour guide took us through the by-lanes of old Dubai, where I would have never otherwise visited. It was so much fun, as it was a small group and we all could interact with each other. We got to learn so much about the history and culture of Dubai. It was a great experience and I would definitely recommend this tour to anybody visiting Dubai!

From tasting traditional coffee, walking through the quiet lanes of the heritage area, looking at local art, exploring the Dubai museum, to taking a water taxi to the spice and gold souks, this tour was a welcome and informative break from the more commercial and fast-paced activities we experienced in Dubai. In fact, it was my favourite part of our short holiday. Thank you Sameh and Dubai by Foot!

A very personal tour- I would recommend the art tour to all art lovers. It shows the city in a new perspective and gives it an extra dimension. Our group was met personally at some of the galleries by the owners or persons in charge who explained their exhibitions in great detail. The tour ended with coffee at the lovely chocolate factory.

Explored the city with Dubai By Foot on their city tour. Outstanding guide!He gave us an excellent tour of Dubai by car, foot, and boat. He was knowledgeable about the Emirates and its history and old traditional practices. A very personal approach in a short period of time. We highly recommend them!

This was definitely the highlight of my recent trip to Dubai. The skyscrapers and shiny new parts of Dubai were impressive to look at, but the culture and history of the place were so much more interesting. We stopped regularly to taste traditional Arabian coffee with dates, to admire the gold, to smell and learn about the spices.

Thanks Pri for a wonderful and informative walking tour. It was great to see parts of the city I wouldnt have otherwise known about. The food we ate along the way was delicious, and weaving in and out of the souks was great fun. Would really recommend if youd like to see a different side of Dubai and eat some very good food. Thanks again.

Well organised, informative and absolutely recommended for the visitors who are interested in such tours as I was able to understand more about UAE and its culture and traditions. There is also free access to some very interesting museums like the Fort and the coffee museum. AND I LOVED THE BOAT RIDE.

I booked this walking tour of old Dubai on the last day of my visit. I wish I had done it on the first day. Pri is a fountain of knowledge! She is a thoughtful and caring guide with endless patience to answer all questions. The smaller groups are more conducive to a personalised experience with lots of attention to details. Pri is so enthusiastic about Dubai and its rich history, anyone taking the tour will definitely be the wiser for it!

We had an awesome time and experience with Pri on our private old dubai Walking tour. We were a group of 2 families and she made us very comfortable, didnt rush us, helped wherever possible and arose the curiosity of my younger siblings too with her knowledge! It was indeed a 5 star experience, from the sites to the coffee and the knowledge about the city. Thank you!

My family and I spent the afternoon with Pri and learned so much. She explained us the history of Dubai and the Emirates and walked us through the souks. It was a good mix of the AC and the outdoor walk. The private Abra boat was wonderful and made the private old Dubai tour for us smooth. Highly recommended.

This was my first walking tour and I was not disappointed. I really wanted to try out the Emirati cuisine and this was exactly the tour i needed. From the appetizers to the main course and then the wonderful luqaimat for the dessert, it was all very delicious. Our guides knowledge on Dubai, its history and the Emirati cuisine was a cherry on the top.
