“Ho richiesto un tour di due ore con guida in italiano. Abbiamo avuto un nominativo, poi sostituito con un'altro che non parlava una parola di italiano, ma inglese, e abbiamo usato la nostra auto non solo per raggiungere il punto di ritrovo ma pure per girare: non sapeva le strade quindi in due ore abbiamo visto praticamente zero. Assurdo.”

The Dhow trip was long enough to take some great photos of the West Bay skyline. Very nice tour with a very likeable guide. Recommended.”
