5.00Selma; our tour guide, was lovely! Our time on the felucca was relaxing and enjoyable. It was nice to quietly enjoy the view of Cairo city from the river at night.
Beautiful sail on the River Nile.

5.00We loved our one hour sailing trip on the Nile, we went just after 4pm as the dusk was coming on. It was a great experience.

5.00We had a wonderful experience on the Felucca ride along the Nile River. Everything was perfectly organised from start to finish. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and made the trip even more enjoyable and our boat driver was just as lovely. The ride was peaceful and relaxing with beautiful views, we opted for the Felucca with the sails and the chicken shwarma wrap for lunch was delicious. A truly memorable and authentic experience, highly recommended!
Great experience! We recommend this activity with your eyes closed. From pick-up to animation on the boat,

4.00The ride went well, relatively. The weather was nice, the felucca was good and, of course, the Nile was amazing. I was not sure what the role of the guide was. Islam picked us up from our address almost on time, took us to the felucca and accompanied us on the ride. Was he or the sailor supposed to provide any explanation? I was not sure, but none was provided. We did not complain as we enjoyed the scenery. What annoyed us was the shortening of the ride time to 45 minutes instead of one hour as we had booked. Islam mentioned the booked time to the sailor, but the latter did not care.
A walk along the Nile is essential

5.00It's very worth it. Plus for the price, it's a real deal. They came to the hotel to pick us up, took us to the Nile and the guide, Tasnem, spoke very good Spanish and was very friendly and attentive. We always receive information by WhatsApp about the time of collection... Glauca is authentic and the trip very relaxing

4.00Ahmed and Mussa were well on time and waited for me. They were very friendly and well-mannered. Ahmed drove and manoeuvred the crazy Egyptian traffic like a pro while playing my choice of music. Mussa bought Koshary and had lunch on the boat. Time passed too fast and I wish we could have spent more time on the water. Thank you for a lovely experience.
Short and relaxing fellukka trip
