A Beautiful Evening! - We had a great time with the team. The sunset was beautiful. I really appreciate the way team helped to co-ordinate the trip during the sunset and they dropped off at the point we had requested for.

Great felucca ride from a wonderful crew! - Our felucca trip down the Nile was wonderful! They served us hibiscus tea and performed music for us. The ride was relaxing, beautiful, and so much fun! They were so professional from the pick up at our airbnb, throughout our ride on the Nile, and our safe drop of back at our airbnb. We were a family of 5 and would highly recommend this felucca ride!

Awesome and beautiful experience! - If you want to have a magical and beautiful experience at Luxor this is it! Sailing by the Nile during the sunset while feeling your feet being refreshed by the river’s water was incredible and even therapeutic, after a long day of exploration with lots of heat. The boat crew is very nice and welcoming, they make their best to make sure you are enjoying and having a good time. The ride took 2 hours and they gave us tea and a surprise show with live Egyptian music and dancing. It’s a very complete experience and we had a great time with my mom. The only thing I would suggest is to come prepared with money for tipping the crew. In our case, we thought that the price you pay for the tour was all you needed to pay, but when it finished, there was a 3 people crew expecting a tip for which we weren’t prepared for (we wasn’t told beforehand either). Despite that, everything was super and I highly recommend it!

Beautiful walk at sunset - For our first day in Luxor, we really enjoyed discovering the city from the river. The ride was very pleasant, largely thanks to Amir our guide, Regep our captain and the 2 boys on board. Thank you for the discussions, the recommendations and the little musical show! We highly recommend!

Don't hesitate. Book the cruise! - This experience was perfect as a solo traveler and woman. Ahmed was very friendly and professional. The 2hr cruise was relaxing and the tour operator even provided snacks and tea. I would highly recommend this cruise over a Cairo Nile River cruise as the atmosphere was more authentic and there was less industrialization to distract you from the lovely views. You also can't beat the price. A+++
