      Wonderful Nile river experience
      We opted for the motor boat ride. We went under 3 bridges, got great photos, relaxed in the serenity of the river at dusk and had a falafel snack, which wasn't much. If you go at dusk you'll definitely want dinner later. I'd advise foregoing the snack. It's the ride, views and sunset on the Nile that you're seeking and that you'll get.

      Fast and wonderful
      6 nights might be a bit overwhelming for all the places to visit but you will get to see all of the Nile rive most predominant attractions from down at Alejandría to up in Abu Simbel Complex in upper Egypt. I even had time to visit the new Grand Museum in Cairo on my free day, all drivers and guides wore excellent very well worth the visit.

      A relaxing Nile trip
      We had a great time on our felucca ride on the Nile. It was lovely and peaceful to be on the water away from the crazy traffic and honking horns. We booked lunch and Mo our guide took us to a koshary restaurant which was great - authentic Egyptian food and very popular with locals The pick up was very smooth and the minibus was comfortable with much needed air con A word of warning - there are no facilities on the boat so go before you are picked up!

      No information- just a boat ride
      We were picked up sharp on time and taken close to the Four Seasons hotel, dokdok docks to get on the boat. The ride is short circle towards the bridge and back. The fountain in the middle of the Nile wasn't working. Maybe because we'd been in Egypt for 3 days, the tour guide didn't say much at all. We asked questions about how the wooden boats are made, what the sail is made of, and historic sail materials. He didn't know. So don't expect an Egyptalogist!

      Omar -Omar Felucca private boat ride
      Our private ride with the felucca was nice and relaxing .We got picked up from our hotel Our guide Omar was a young man very friendly and talkative . (Actually a university student) I had the opportunity to talk with him and learn about Egyptians daily routines , studies etc As for the ride in the Nile it is worth taking the ride ( not much to see , but one gets to enjoy the ride on the longest river in the world ) . We were dropped off back at our hotel and on the way back both the guide and also the young driver (Omar also ) who was an exceptional good driver wanted to treat us with their favourite and well know koshary meal unfortunately we did not have that much time for the meal we had to return to the hotel . We promised both next time when we visit Egypt . A quick note Omar the driver drove us to the airport also after midnight . His driving made us feel we were is good hands . Very good and responsible driver !

      Negative outweighs the positive (unfortunately)
      I want to start by saying that I hate giving negative reviews, mainly because it means I had a bad experience. That said, the following won’t really be a positive review of this activity for reasons I will explain. TOUR LEADER AND DRIVER I’ll start with the only positive which is that Dahlia (tour leader) was a very kind lady and for the little time I spent with Yesin (driver), he seemed nice. ACTIVITY This activity is advertised as a “2 Hours Felucca Ride on the Nile River”. My pick up from the hotel was around 11am and I was back at my hotel before 12:30pm….before reading my next paragraph, try and guess how long I was actually riding the Nile River. The ride was about 40 minutes (well done if you guessed correctly) and 10 of those minutes were spent at a standstill. Plus, there is nothing to even see as I didn’t really go anywhere. This is because the Felucca boat doesn’t fit underneath the bridges so you are basically going from one bridge to the other. When I got back to my hotel, the receptionist was shocked and asked if anything was wrong...that is how little time I spent on this actual "ride". I hate to say it, but this activity is not worth the price I paid (just over £40). But that’s just my opinion. If you want to ride the Nile and actually see things, I suggest NOT booking a Felucca boat, but one that can actually fit underneath the bridges. HOWEVER if you are a group and just want to chill and vibe on the river, then perhaps this won’t be a bad activity to do.

      Peaceful excursion in Cairo
      We had a great time on our felucca ride on the Nile. Our guide, Aladdin, picked us up from the hotel and we took a short drive to the boat launch. It was very peaceful to be on the water away from the honking horns. Aladdin was knowledgeable about the buildings were were looking at as well as Egyptian history.

      Relaxing and fun tour on the Nile
      From pickup in the immaculate car, to the friendly, bubbly, entertaining host, and the boat driver, all made top effort to ensure the best possible event. We were disappointed that we didn't get a sailing experience, but not their fault that there was no wind.

      Most Amazing Experience
      The views and the host Mostafa was amazing. It was such a relaxing sail and we didn’t stop talking with Mostafa - he is an absolute treasure for your company. We had Koshry for lunch, absolutely flavoursome, but watch out for the hot sauce - it is burning level!!! We would easily recommend this company and tour to everyone.

      Very good relaxed way to experience the Nile
      This was a very relaxed way to enjoy the Nile and liked it a lot. Fero was a very friendly guide.

      Really nice people
      Our guide, Abdelrhman Ismail, was very accommodating and friendly. The only reason this isn’t 5 stars is because our tour of the Nile was basically just sailing from one side to another five times. I was expecting to sail up and down the river a bit, and I suspect if you ask them to do that, they will.

      A little bit underwhelming
      This was indeed a nice felucca ride but not sure it is special when offered through this company. Our guide Mahmoud was a nice person and he offered to take nice photos of us on the boat. But unfortunately, he did not proactively provide information about anything we were seeing along the river. I think you could get a similar experience by directly approaching the dock and asking for a ride. Hotel pickup and drop off were smooth though.
