Nice, quick trip for family and friends

It was nice. Our guide, Tarek, did a good job of explaining the surroundings and some history of the buildings, city, and split between Cairo and Giza.

Nile felucca trip

Overall the trip was good, the travel guide was having excellent character however the trip duration was not fulfilled as stated in the trip details, it took around 40 minutes instead of 60 minutes.

Dream day

All was perfect. Great tour and great guide. Booked for 2 hours on the water and that's what we got. Easy to book and hotel pick up drop off. Great price. Saw herons,egrits and an eagle swooping down Some kids swimming in the shallows opposite posh hotels. Very highly recommended. Dave m
