City Tour yes, Cruise no!
City tour was great. After tour car took us to location of cruise but driver just dumped us and pointed to direction of boat. Walked down and there were several boats and none had signs and no one around. Finally found the one needed. Food was terrible, entrees cold and others very ordinary. Cruise sights were grea, in fact the only good thing.
Response from the operator: Dear Fay_A, Greetings from ORIENT TOURS! Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Happy to read that you liked our city tour. We appreciate you sharing the feedback about the drop-off at the cruise which was definitely not handled the way it should be - we will work on this internally to ensure this will not happen again in future and all our drivers are reminded on the professional way of satisfying our valuable customers. The feedback on the food at the cruise has been shared with the cruise partner for their enhancements. Best regards, Sarah P. Dubke Senior Manager Guest Services ORIENT TOURS LLC

Our tour guide, Norman, was very...
<p>Our tour guide, Norman, was very entertaining and a great spirit. The sites visited were very good and glad to experience. However, could improve on pickup instructions for those taking the dinner cruise. We did not know if transportation back to our hotel was going to happen. We were arranging for our own transport until a different tour van was looking for us, but no one told us it would not be Orient. Tighten up things like this and rating would be more favorable. Still, kudos to Norman!</p>
Response from the operator: Dear Charles S, Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. Our company values put customer satisfaction as top priority and we are committed to our customers. We have forwarded your feedback to the concerned department for corrective action. Best Regards, Sarah P. Dubke Manager Guest Services ORIENT TOURS LLC

I highly recommend this tour. It was...
<p>I highly recommend this tour. It was our Family vacation of 5 2 adults, kids age 16,13 and 5 years old, we all loved it. The pick up from the hotel was on time, it took us to the bus. The tour guide was amazing he spoke german and english and was funny as well. The day tour took about 5 hours and after that the bus dropped us off at the Dubai Creek Old Dubai, where we had the Dinner Cruise. We had to wait for about an hour to board, which was ok. The Dinner Cruise was excellent as well and the cruise took about 2 hours, the crew was very respectful, friendly and a helping hand when it comes to children they carried my 5 years old up to the deck, the stairs were steep or they bring your drinks to the deck if you decide to see the view from the deck. The dinner was very good. Overall we all loved it and would do it again</p>

Dubai City Tour with Evening Creek Dhow Cruise Dinner Combo: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Dubai.
How much does Dubai City Tour with Evening Creek Dhow Cruise Dinner Combo cost?
+
Prices start at $71 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Dubai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dubai City Tour with Evening Creek Dhow Cruise Dinner Combo take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Dubai is not rushed.
Is Dubai City Tour with Evening Creek Dhow Cruise Dinner Combo worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Dubai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dubai City Tour with Evening Creek Dhow Cruise Dinner Combo?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dubai City Tour with Evening Creek Dhow Cruise Dinner Combo suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dubai City Tour with Evening Creek Dhow Cruise Dinner Combo?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Dubai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Dubai and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dubai City Tour with Evening Creek Dhow Cruise Dinner Combo start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Dubai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Dubai?
+
On Outty we rank every Dubai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Dubai Premium Red Dunes Safari, Camels & 5* BBQ at Al Khayma Camp, Dubai: Red Dunes Safari, Quad, Camel, Dune Bash, BBQ & Shows, Dubai Evening Desert Safari Dune Bashing, BBQ Dinner & Live Shows. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Dubai?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Dubai?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
