Ali Baba is an amazing guide. He explained me everything very well. I felt safe with him and he took care of me that I don’t pay tourist prices. I would book him again for more tours.

Ali was a really great guide! We saw all the sights of old town. He was knowledgable. Patient when we wanted a bit longer in places or stop for a little coffee break. He also helped us haggle at the market and took us to his favourite lunch spot. We managed to see so many hidden gems beyond the usual tour. V friendly and easy going manner and good English. We felt in safe hands and would recommend him again to anyone.
