We will be spending three days in Dubai in November.
We would like to do the boat trip to visit old town.
I am wondering if we need a guide? Any recommendations for a specific guide or company ?
We are staying in the Marina area.
Thanks!

Can't help with the boat trip, but we did a wonderful tour that included all seven of the Emirates of the UAE. I understand that now tours only offer six of the seven from Dubai.

I am sure you could find a lot of options on Get your Guide. I have not done what you mention (and am not sure what it is) but I have taken this tour twice: https://heritageexpress.com/. Then I rode the very cheap abra across the creek to the spice souk.
Careem is also the Dubai equivalent of Uber-taxis and I have never had a bad driver. You can go anywhere at any time and it’s very reasonable.

We had only one day in Dubai as a layover and we did a tour with Wander with Nada. Nada was smart, very professional, very knowledgeable, had a wonderful driver and worked out a day itinerary that was just what we wanted. Spending a day with Nada was so enjoyable. We can highly recommend her

If you’re planning to explore Dubai beyond the Old Town, you might want to rent a Lamborghini in Dubai and experience the city in ultimate style. It’s a great way to see both the Marina and heritage areas at your own pace. Trinity Rental Car Boutique offers personalized service for a truly memorable drive.
