The food was good and a nice variety. The music was very loud! The bathroom needed some fixing. There is narrative during the cruise.
Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your experiences with us and providing us with such insightful feedback. This is quite helpful. We're also glad you loved the tour. We look forward to seeing you again. Regards, Daytur Tourism
If I could give this zero stars, I would. The description of the experience was deceptive and misleading. The description stating that the cruise was 3 hours. It was barely 1 hour. The description stated that there would be an "international buffet". There was not anywhere close to an international buffet, let alone a "buffet". The food was horrible and included frozen fish sticks! The drinks were lackluster, the utensils, plates, etc. were subpar. Entertainment - there was a dancer. Although he did a traditional dance which was okay however, two of the individuals in our group were hit - one in the head and the other on top of the head. There was no commentary. The boat was in poor (borderline unsafe) condition, and it SMELLED! This is to name a few unsatisfactory things. From the outset of the evening, we were pretty much forced to send in pictures of our IDs before we were given the confirmation from the vendor. This is even after the charge had been run on our cards and we had received a confirmation from Viator! This vendor should be avoided at all costs and Viator should cease promoting this vendor on their site! These folks are shady, unscrupulous and deceptive AND they will video tape you without your knowledge so that they can refute any claims that you may have! For example, the dancer asked our group to clap while he was dancing and we then find out that we were videoed and then the vendor claimed that we had "a good time"! We only clapped as requested. My last advice, if you are considering choosing these people for your cruise, ADVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS! There are other Dhow boat cruises that are way better!
city views were amazing , food was good and entertainment part was seriously the best one during the cruise.. Highly Recommended !!
Dear Guest, Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. We look forward to serve you again in our destination. Thank you Muhammad Daytur Tourism
What was advertised was not what we got. The transportation did not have enough sets for the group and they know how many was I the group. Two days before what got what’s up messages from unknown individuals. As for a copy of your passports. The company would not give us the pickup place until we provided picture ID. The write up and pictures by Vidor said we could buy wine/beer. Not the truth. We got tiny plastic cups of juice and coke. No toilet paper in bathroom. Food was terrible watered down hummus, store bought fish sticks and food that needed utensils that did not break when you used them. The boat trip was less than an hour. The entertainment was so so. Do not take this boat.
Dear Guest, Sorry to hear about the experience. but we had the proof of pictures where you were enjoying and happy during the activity. We did not see in a single comment or a stage where you found any issue during the tour. But yes when you asked for refund for a service which you done already we had to refuse because the activity was provided as per contract to you without any issue. thank you Daytur Tourism
The boat was horrible, the food was worse and they experience in all was horrible. I would not recommend this ride to anyone. The chicken was supposed to be BBQ but ended up being dry chicken I think. The vegetables were so spicy I could not eat them, and also it had so many bones in the food you had to pick through it so you wouldn't swallow it. Don't go on this ride, not worth the money AT ALL, RUN AWAY.

Bad food. . Entertainment injured my husband. Trip lasted an 1hr instead of 3 hts. Boat falling apart. Tour requested passport and ID for verification. Chicken bones broken in food. Spicy hot. Drinks tucked water down orange juice. Gavre us when trip is almost over. Highly would not recommend ever. Fish sticks from a box.

The Whirling Dervishe was impressive and very entertaining as were the night lights of the riverbank. Unfortunately every other aspect of this dinner cruise was a disappointment, this was a night of celebration for us and whilst we wanted to do this quietly, being somewhere we did not feel welcome was not our expectation.
Dear Guest, Sorry to hear about your experience. I checked everything was as per agreement arranged the food, entertainment etc. And it was a shared cruise not a private boat only for you. This might be the case that you were not aware about while you made the booking. As in shared cruise there are other guests with you who have booked the same experience and service. Thank you Daytur Tourism
Impressive view 💕 I was impressed by the night view after the cruise started and had a delicious dinner, and the excitement was the best when the fireworks went up.
My booking was cancelled at the last time without informing me. When i called Viator for inquiry they didnt gave any valid reason.
It was great it would just be perfect if there was dessert but in general everything was good the food was good, the entertainment was super friendly
