“The tour is as described. You get a pair of headphones and connect them to the audio guides installed on the van. We did the tour with a 9-month-old baby and it was good. Both the Mosque and the Louvre Museum let you in with a stroller, which made our day easier. For the Fruit and dates market you need to pay in cash in case you want to buy something. Our driver Qasim Shah was really nice.”
