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.

Beautiful Boat Ride - Would highly recommend this trip! We booked this trip on our first day to give us a taste of Cairo without all the hustle and bustle. Omar (our guide) made contact to confirm pickup arrangements. He was friendly and full of information during our trip on the boat. It was beautiful to see the sun setting over the Nile. Thanks for making our first day so special.

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.

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.

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.

EGYPT EXCURSIONS ONLINE (COMPANY NAME) - Sunset Or Sunrise Nile River Felucca Ride Board a traditional Egyptian sailboat and cruise down the Nile River On this two-hour trip, you’ll sail down the Nile River on a traditional Egyptian sailboat known as a felucca. Go for a sunrise or sunset sail to see the city of Cairo illuminated by vibrant colours. As you savour the sights, your guide will tell you about Egypt’s extensive yet fascinating history. The tour includes a drink on board and hotel pick-up and drop-off to ensure a stress-free journey. Sunset Or Sunrise Nile River Felucca Ride ACTUAL EVENT Sunrise or Sunset not available and we were collected from our hotel at 4PM. We had a Forty minute Trip which went 500M -750M from the departure point and back and forth across the width of the River Nile in all of this time. There was NO GUIDE present. There was no drinks served. These are the facts. It bears no resemblance to the description.
