Some feedback from our...

Tamar_M, Apr 2024

Some feedback from our ferry adventure of April 8 from Dar to Zanzibar. Your agent came our hotel at 9:20 for a 9:30 departure. He then had the driver go the wrong way on a one way road to get us to the ferry on time, which was very unsafe. And then he did nothing to help with our bags and to facilitate us getting on to the ferry in a vert chaotic situation. We would have been better off taking a taxi. This was unnecessary stress and really not acceptable. The guy you greeted us on the island, on the other hand, was waiting for us and was very helpful. Also the face value of the ticket was $35/person and I paid $120 purchasing online! For what? Paid more than 3 times the price and not only did we receive no service, it detracted from the whole experience.

My traveling treasure

A fabulous, once-in-a-lifetime, too-short-of-a-trip. Loved the people and their traditions and beliefs. Couldn't have done this without my highly-qualified and highly recommended tour guide Aquelabaas and his assistants.

Amazing experience

Nicholas_N, Mar 2020

Experience was amazing. Not only did they pick me up from the airport but they took me to breakfast, waiting for the ferry to land, arranged rides wherever I needed to go and set up tours last minute like I was VIP.

Missing options

Companion272178, Dec 2019

At the time of booking there were only2 options available: economy and business....but once I’ve arrived there were other 2 higher options allowing to wait in room with AC instead of outside. The trip was smooth, AC inside too strong, if you don’t carry a jumper it’s freezing. Showing a movie ....but with no audio.....

Horrible

Le seul point positif c’est que l’on vous prend à charge à l’hôtel. Ensuite vous arrivez le taxi vous lache oui lache, dans une immense foule a l’entrée du ferry et là c’est la catastrophe un nombre incalculable de personnes vous interpelle et vous prend la main pour dire de les suivre pour que vous leur donniez ensuite de l’argent. Ensuite arrivée dans le ferry tout ce passe normalement. Arrivée du ferry, gros gros bordel pour récupérer ces bagages. Tout le monde s’entasse, ce pousse, pour être le premier pour récupérer ces affaires. Il faut être plus fort que les autres et aller directement au comptoir et interpellé le bagagiste pour lui demander nos valises. Tout le monde hurle c’est vraiment difficile d’en sortir rapidement. J’ai fait mes plus beaux yeux doux pour récupérer mes valises (environ 15 min) sinon je pense que vous y resterez au moins 1h30. Ensuite à la sortie du ferry Rebel ôte tout le monde vous interpelle pour un taxi. Franchement prenez un avion c’est beaucoup plus simple et vous voyagerez en toute sérénités.

Many thanks for your review, and sorry to hear about your inconvenience. Please note we are only service providers for tickets and transfers so that the guest could avoid the hassle as much as possible of buying ticket and getting to the terminal but we wish we could control the local crowd who use ferries for daily commute between the islands.
