Felucca ride on the Nile

A very pleasant felucca ride on the Nile, with Fahad, our guide who explained the geography of the region and the Nile to us, historical facts, and he answered all our questions. I made a mistake with the date when booking, but they were quick to find a solution. The trip from the hotel and the return were included in the service, which was very convenient! Anna

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.
