Dubai Marina Dhow Cruise - Absolutely amazing spent celebrating my daughter's birthday in Dubai. The staff were fantastic, the boat spotlessly clean, food freshly cooked and a great variety to choose from. would definitely recommend - and we do again on our next visit to Dubai. Booking was very easy and the experience great value for money.

Nice relaxing evening - A great option to relax and enjoy the sights as you sail along the creek. Food was good. Just remember you are not doing this excursion for the food. But to relax and enjoy the ride.

Great evening trip on a traditional dhow. - Directions to parking and the boarding area were clear and easy to follow. We booked the VIP package and had a great seat with an amazing view. The package provided table service, so we did not need to leave our seats (full table setting with cloth napkins … etc) but I could see how smoothly the buffet worked. The server at our table was Sayeed. He was very friendly and welcoming and the service was excellent. Sayeed chatted to us without intruding on our evening; he was very attentive and cleared serving dishes quickly when we were finished with them. At all times he ensured we had water and any other drinks we needed. My only negative remark is that there was only one ladies’ bathroom which meant a little queuing but the bathroom was clean. Overall, we had a great experience and would not hesitate to recommend this trip.

Instructions on how to get to the marina where bad directions won't count on you again - The directions were so bad that our taxi driver could not find where to drop us off in the marina. I am disabled and I had to walk and walk and walk and never found where the boat was. As you know we never made it to dinner. I'm very upset about this. Not my fault. Bad directions. As you know I use viatar a lot. This now questions my ability to use your company again. Again not my fault. Bad directions from your company
