NEVER SHOWED UP - DISAPPOINTED

Angela_B, Jan 2024
They NEVER showed up for the tour and never communicated a cancelation. Very Disappointed. THERE really is nothing more to say. I went through Viator because I thought that any companies that they would recommend to their customers were already reviewed and was part of the Viator's umbrella because they were a legitimate company, in high regard.

No SHOW! No communication!

Marla_A, Jan 2024
Actually the rating is a ZERO! The tour guide was a NO SHOW and after numerous attempts to phone the contact (number was not in service) we contacted Viator for a refund. The company had asked for names and passport numbers prior to our arrival so I know they had us on “their books” for the tour. What a huge disappointment but thankfully Viator was very receptive. We luckily found another tour company at the cruise ship terminal called Dove Adventures and had a great tour with Anna. Our day turned out fine even with the original tour being a complete bust!

Great Dar Experience!

Tshiamala_K, Oct 2023
The person giving the tour was very professional and knowledgeable. All key places in the city were visited on pace that was comfortable.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Hello sir Thank you for the review we are glad that your tour was comfortable and you enjoyed.

No show guide no show Viator.

The local tour operator cancelled on us at 8.30pm the night before the tour and we have received no acknowledgement from Viator that our money (CDN$339) will be refunded.

Eric was our guide and he...

Dar es Salaam tour

Kgadimonyane_L, Jan 2023
Erick was our guide. He really tried his level best. He took us to most if not all of the places we expected to see. He was open to questions and tried as much as possible to share the information of the attractions we visited. I would recommend him all the time. The fish market, Lutheran church history, a drink on the beach were among the best memories of the tour. Thanks Erick for the experience.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you for the review am sure Erick and team are delighted that you made memories of the tour, hoping to host you again for more of our tours

Bustling City of Dar es Salaam

Mark_V, Jan 2023
Fish market, and walking tour of the city. Had a wonderful day with Eric and learning for the first time about Dar es Salaam. Great wait to talk to local people and watch them going through a normal day.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

A day in Dar es Salaam

Nancy_M, Nov 2022
We were met at the port entrance by Our tour guide, and his supervisor, Emmanuel. Eric and our driver Mr. Berry, we’re terrific. As we have mobility issues, they arranged our tour to suit us. Eric took Teresa and I in hand and guided us through museums, wood craving stalls and fabric stalls while Mr. Berry kept our husbands cool. Our lunch was unique, eating in an out of the way cafe that was surprising, and delicious. Yes, we would do it again. If there was something we were not really interested in doing, the plans changed instantly. Eric was knowledgeable and articulate. He was great.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thank you soo much for the review, we are humbled with the fact that both you and your group had a great tour with us

Awesome Dar Es Salaam Experience!

Ponthetta_M, Sep 2022
The pickup was on time, so we started off great! Emanuel (guide) & Eric (driver) were both great company. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the city thru local eyes and understanding more about the great life in Tanzania. We went to the Upanga Cemetery, Tanzania museum, kariko market, & various other places. I felt safe the whole time as a solo female passenger. Then we stopped at a great local bar/restaurant off the tourist path & had some wonderful grilled pork chops, ugali & spinach which we shared family style. Then because I have interest in moving to Tanzania, Emanuel showed me great neighborhoods to rent & to buy and took me to a local beach which was super fun. Definitely book with this tour it was a great experience!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thank you for the review, we truly are honoured to have made your stay worthwhile in Tanzania

Trotz einiger Probleme vor Ort eine kulante Teilrückerstattung von Viator! Dankeschön!

Herbert_P, Aug 2023
Leider war der Reiseleiter nicht wie gebucht deutschsprachig, er war aber sehr nett und hat sein Bestes gegeben.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Vielen Dank für die Bewertung. Wir freuen uns, dass Ihnen die Tour mit Enroute Africa Tours gefallen hat

Muito melhor que a encomenda

claudio_c, Aug 2023
O único ponto negativo: meu guia não falava espanhol,como na reserva. Mesmo assim foi uma experiência magnífica com um guia-Gabriel e um motorista exclusivos. Conheci o grande mercado de peixes, O Kariakô- área gigantesca de comércio e andei com o Gabriel por grande parte do centro da cidade. Fomos almoçar em um restaurante africano típico e no final tomar umas cervejas em um belo lugar, à beira mar. Adorei tudo. O programa foi um pouco diferente do original,mas acredito que melhor.
