Sailing Felucca boat trip on the Nile

Hamada accompanied us on the private sailing felucca boat trip on the Nile in Cairo. He was a great tour guide and gave us a lot of information along the way. We had a fab couple of hours and would throughly recommend this trip.

Our guide Walid Elshear was very friendly and we communicated without problem in English. They passed us a few minutes earlier than agreed so we had time to stop at one of the bridges across the Nile River to take pictures. The cruise met expectations, good show and rich food, although not very varied or typical of the country.

5 star entertainment on Nile

Had an amazing time with our tour guide Sumya, always keen to help and provide the best service during a fantastic cruise on the Nike. Sumya went further to make sure our requests were attended at all times. Great entertainment on board. The pickup and drop off was on time and during the whole journey, our driver Yousef made the trip comfortable and safe. Overall very satisfied and will repeat with Emo Tours.

Love it 💛

Ersaa was my guide and she was exceptionally good based on my past experience of tour trips I joined in Cairo. She’s kind and really cares about people, while others you know they are just doing their jobs and looking for tips. You can feel that she loves her job and is sincerely helping people to understand Cairo. After the trip, she even went extra mile and brought me to a nice restaurant to try out one of the local delights that I told her I might have missed. very appreciate, and definitely would recommend to everyone.
