Fooly was excellent! He took great care of us, captured incredible photos of us, and even drove us to Egyptian cotton stores as an extra. The boat was huge and all for ourselves. Incredible service, thank you Fooly! I sure recommend this excursion to everyone.

A fun and relaxing experience, with the opportunity to steer the boat for a while and help with rigging the sails. Salma spoke very good English and was a charming companion on my trip down the Nile. Thank you.

Cab turned up late , picked us up and took us a 2 minute walk away to site to be told Felicia can’t go as not windy enough but others where going past, conned money out of us for unwanted drinks then asked if other people could go on our unwanted engine boat, then a 15 minute ride on river with no information provided about what you where passing, then asked if we wanted to be taken for some food which we declined as the whole experience was a nightmare from start to finish

Very professional company. They picked us up a bit early than scheduled - we were happy for this. The driver was very proficient. The Felucca ride was relaxing and very enjoyable. Everything was great from beginning to end and excellent value for money.

We're picked up 10 minutes late. We also have to wait another 10 minutes for the feluca, there was also traffic.all of these caused us missing the sunset. Our guide's English was very bad, she couldn't explain us anything. Her photo taking skills were also not good. There was no a single good fhoto that she took. Only good thing is the return, they left us to a place where we want in Zamalek.

The driver arrived a half hour late due to traffic , missed feluca, waited over another half hour for our feluca. By the time the sunset was gone.. I understand traffic can be bad here, but it should be taken into consideration and driver leave early.

The sail on a traditional boat was great. I went at 4pm which was a great time of day to go with the sun on the water. The guide and driver picked me up from the hotel and took me to the pier where we waited for a boat to be available. We then spent an hour on the water.
Great short experience

The tour was not as expected, ride was on a older sail boat, although our guide was extremely nice we really did not receive any information or history on the River
Serene trip on the Nile be careful of trip time.

So the actual ride was very relaxing. It is between two bridges in central Cairo but a serene break from the hubub of Cairo itself. The boatman was friendly and able to answer questions about what we saw on the trip. On the negative side the length of the tour includes pickup time which makes sense for longer tours but when that accounts for a hour of the 2 hour trip it needs to be made clear. The tour guide (described as an "onboard Egyptologist guide" on the website) was very pleasant but said nothing during the trip. Not sure why an Egyptologist is needed when there is no ancient Egypt to see. No water was provided but they bought some and some juices on the trip back. A cool box on the boat would have been better.
