Amazing time - This tour worth every cent. Before we booked we was a bit sceptic regarding quality of food on Felucca, etc, but we ended up being surprised with so good Atmosphere and amazing traditional food. Our guide Mohamed it’s top, he was really kind and answer all question, we enjoy our conversation with him and the storys about Egipt. P.S.
