Traveler reviews
Great boat trip
Perfect! The guide was excellent, suitable for relaxing after visiting the new Egyptian museum. Kudos also to the driver
Fantastic!
Amazing trip On the Nile, the captain even let me steer the Feluca a little bit. Asesome!
They stole my money
Since I needed to buy two extra tickets (for my wife and my son) they asked to pay 60 euros. They are dishonest.
Peaceful sailing and lunch in restaurant
Sailing on the Nile was so relaxing and peaceful, a huge contrast to the crazy streets of Cairo. There was enough wind to fill the sails and we sailed about 1km from the jetty. We saw a black kite snatch a fish from the river right by the boat. Our guide, Mustafa, was really nice and helpful, and arrived at the hotel to collect us bang on time. Car was clean too. Minus points: tour operator tried to move the trip 1h later, then told us that the included lunch was not going to be on the boat. The driver took us to a restaurant in downtown Cairo, where food was plentiful and very tasty, but switching plans was unsettling. Trip description should make this clearer.
Last minute success
It was a sweet evening. The tour guide and diver picked me up from my hotel, then on our way to the felucca, the guide picked up my koshari dinner. The ride was quiet, with just me, the felucca driver, and my guide. I got to see the fountain go off in the Nile, and see a peaceful sunset. I booked the night before as an Egyptian friend recommended I do a felucca ride, and this was a beautiful trip.
