Great guide. Sailing on the Nile - priceless. - We had a wonderful time. Great crew and a great guide. He even brought us to Karnak Temple afterwards and waited on us. The ride up the Nile was fantastic and there was even an option to swim in the Nile.

Amazing Felucca Ride with Karam - We had an amazing felucca ride with Karam, who was our guide. He was very charismatic and welcoming! The boat captain Moustafa kept a very clean boat and made us some delicious tea. We stopped by Banana Island to see the fruit trees and taste the sweet banana, and while returning on the boat, we saw the sunset and were able to take plenty of pictures. Highly recommended tour!

Couldn’t have been any happier :) - I couldn’t have been any happier with this experience. Alaa and his team with Ibrahim as the guide, and the boat crew, made the whole experience absolutely wonderful. I relaxed, I laughed, and I just throughly had a great time. Pick this group to book your felucca ride and local experience with!! You’ll regret it if you choose anyone else! :)

Unique experience - The captain of the felucca and the banana island were the highlights. The time of the tour could have been a bit later to see the sunset.

Romantic 3 hour Sunset Cruise on the Nile - If you are looking to get out of the bustling City and emerge yourself into a Serene and romantic 3 hour getaway, I highly would recommend this tour. We were guided by the lovely Ahmed, who also took us inside a cute and authentic village on the banana plantation island. We were happy to notice that the village people did not once come to us to sell anything. The boys that drove the boat were adorable.

Felucca Ride - Our tour guide, Mohamed, was the best! He took us to one of the oldest markets after the Felucca ride and ate authentic Egyptian food. It was one of the best experencies we ever had.

There was no wind during... - There was no wind during our Felucca trip so we pretty much got towed the whole way to Banana island. The guide didn't say anything during the trip, he was just checking his phone. Views were pretty nice so we did still like the boating part dispite all this. Some locals had captured a wolf, turtles, monkeys and crocodiles and were displaying them to the tourists in the banana island. They also made tourists to hold the poor turtle in their hands. If we would of known that there were captive animals in the island for tourists to take photos with, we would have not taken the whole trip at all.
