Meh

Its a fairly long experience with not much to do other than sitting in the car in traffic. We didnt have an option tonupfrade on the boat. The food was not at all good. Our driver to the cruise and back was also not professional .

Operator response

Hi Marya, thank you for your feedback—we’re sorry the experience didn’t meet expectations. Please note the cruise food in Dubai is regulated by local authorities and provided by the cruise operator, so we don’t have control over the menu. However, we’ll investigate this properly with the supplier. Kindly share your booking reference, tour date/time, and details of what was wrong with the food (and any photos, if available), so we can escalate the matter to the relevant authorities if needed. Thank you, Forever Tourism

It’s a two for one. Good value and very solid tours.

This is really two different tours and both were good. Our morning tour with Ali was very informative and we learned so much about Dubai. The spice market and old town were great and we purchased some wonderful and exotic things. The second tour is later and is a very worthwhile boat tour with good food, entertainment, and music. The whirling dervish danced his heart out! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this twofer.

A difficult one to review

I booked this tour because it seemed a good all round tour to see Dubai, on the booking it states a pick up time of 9.00am and the tour will last about 7 hours. The pick up went well and we did a tour in the morning which was quite good if a bit rushed. We ended at the Mall at about lunch time and the tour guide said that this is the end of the tour, you can either get off here and look around the mall and make your own way back to your hotel or we will put you in a taxi now, This was strange because we had only been out a few hours and hadn't had the dhow cruise. I thought that I must have misunderstood the tour and we went back to our hotel. In the evening the company contacted me and said they were coming to pick us up for the Dhow cruise, this confused me because it didn't state in the booking that it was a split tour partly in the morning and partly in the evening. Unfortunately we couldn't go on the evening part because we had booked another tour with a different company. Because we only did half the tour it is hard to review but the times need to be made clear on the booking platform.
