    We cannot recommend this tour. We had booked the 9h30 tour, but got a message from the guide that the tour would be at 10am. When we arrived, they had put multiple tours together, so that we were 19 people. On the site they mention that there are 10 people maximum. Don't fall for that as we did. As they put the french tour together with our tour, the guide Moustapha from Paris took a lot of time explaining everything again in french, what made the tour boringly long and the waiting times to continue the tour were bad. His explanations were also pretty basic, so no deep knowledge or authentic stories. We were also surprised to finish the tour after just 2 hours. On the site they sell the tour as 3h tour. We have skipped the spice souk. So all in all, this tour was a flop for us and we would not do the tour with this company again.
