Traveler reviews
Terrible
They cheated me. The felucca ride lasted a few minutes. For one extra person I paid an excessive price. Absolutely to be avoided.
A terrible esperisce. They have stolen my money.
This experience was truly terrible. This company stole my money by charging me 90 euros for three people for a tour that, as it turned out, was only 13 euros per person. They refuse to refund me the difference. I booked through GetYourGuide, which only refunded me 13 euros. Less than 20 minutes on a felucca that drifted only 100 meters from shore. Don't do it! They're truly awful.
A beautiful boat trip
The tour guide Mohamed was very nice and helpful and the driver Ashry was very safe and a good driver. We had a nice trip and could choose between a feluke and a motorboat as the wind was very weak for the feluke.
Good Experience
It's a good experience for the price, we got to pick the time of day, and an hour was enough for us especially in 40 degrees, picked up and dropped off at our hotel.
Nice, but much shorter than advertised.
Pick up from our hotel was smooth. Good communication from the tour supplier. You are essentially towed out off the jetty, and due to lack of wind, we drifted for about 30 mins without really going anywhere. We dirfted close to the shoreline next to the four Seasons hotel, and stayed there. However, it was a nice experience being on the Nile during the sunset, and out of the traffic noise and Chaos of Cairo. However don't expect a full hour. If you want a short experience for a few photos, then go for it. But if you are looking for an actual sailing experience, look elsewhere.
