Through Viator, I booked a lovely private Felucca sail boat lunch cruise for my husband and I. We were picked up at our hotel right on time, in a clean, well kept A/C sedan & brought straight to the marina. Due to high winds affecting sailboats that day, instead of canceling our booking, our amazing Tour Guide, Ahmed Khairy, gave us private use of an alternative-a semi-covered motorboat, still with private lunch, baklava+ desserts, water, teas (hibiscus+), smoothies and fresh rose petals to boot! This boat can host about 4-6 tables of guests, but we had the boat all to ourselves with our guide, Captain Saeed and his First Mate. The chicken skewers over rice, sauces, salad, pita, hummus lumch was deliciosly prepared by chef Ashraf & his two lady chefs. Before our cruise, Ahmed assisted with great photos of us on the cute novelty car boats at the marina. Our Nile Cruise was calm, quiet, safe & steady, beautiful breeze with locsl sites pointed out, as well as more pix with different poses/backgrounds assisted by Ahmed. He was absolutely attenrive to all our needs throughout the lunch, the 2 hour cruise and after in the drive back to our hotel. There are restrooms at the marina, with an attendant, in case you’d like to use it prior to boating. There is also a smoothie/drink stand. We had a great time & are super glad we booked something nice & private after days of bustling tours between Cairo & Luxor.where it was sweltering. We highly tecommend this nice tour & would return with family & friends, maybe try the nreakfast or dinner versuon as well. Thanks so much for a wonderful time, Ahmed!
I highly recommend this private tour! Climbing Mudawara Mountain provided exceptional views, and boating while feeding the seagulls was such a fun, memorable experience. This was a completely new side of Egypt, which I never knew.
Our guide, Youssef (Joe), was outstanding—incredibly knowledgeable, fun, and took great care of us throughout the day. Our driver, Ahmed, was also excellent and made the trip seamless.
A perfect day of adventure and great company.
Really amazing trip in a very special part of Egypt. Our guide, Hany, was exceptional and really looked after us the entire time. Very thankful we chose this private tour, as it gave us the flexibility to spend time in the places that we wanted to, and to shape parts of the excursion as we went. The adventure through the desert on the second day was a lot of fun and had a very special end with fireside tea and fruit while watching the sunset. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting to see a very special part of Egypt.
I had an absolute blast! The Fayoum White Desert was incredible—from dune bashing and sandboarding to camel rides and checking out the waterfalls. After all that adventure, I definitely worked up an appetite, and the lunch at the Bedouin village hit the spot. So good!
Taha was an excellent guide—punctual, attentive, and very knowledgeable. He even took me to an authentic Egyptian restaurant for breakfast, and the falafel was some of the best I’ve ever had. Delicious! He’s also an amazing photographer… basically a personal paparazzi. I came away with so many Instagram-worthy photos thanks to him.
If you book through Viator, just be sure to check whether your hotel is considered “long range.” Many listings say pickup is included, but some locations may have an extra fee. Thankfully, the tour company reached out ahead of time, explained everything clearly, and offered a free pickup option at a nearby hotel. I just grabbed an Uber and saved the extra cost.
Overall, an amazing experience—highly recommend!
I hit lottery that my guide “sugar queen “ is absolutely delightful!!
Starting the breakfast - to have food 5 different place. So don’t eat too much earlier!!
And visit some random place like papyrus store, perfume, spice, accessory etc. each store worker there explain about the stuff known on Egypt. (Also some of them speak fluent japanese !)
Don’t worry about not buy anything. Sugrequeen control everyone. No need to scared sales lol just enjoy experience!!
Not just fan. Also well organized tour!
Really great service. We love our tour operator Reham.
Awesome tour guide Reham, she was very knowledgeable about the history of Egypt when inside the pyramids area. She was also patient with us while taking photos. My mother and I learnt a lot. The driver navigated the chaotic traffic very well. Camel tours and atv tours was a success.
This was amazing! Even though it was our first time, they helped us every moment of the way. They also let us stop to take pictures and knew all the best angles so we could get the best pictures possible. We LOVED this, one of our favorite experiences.
What an experience!
While one day in Luxor might seem short, you really get to see A LOT in that time. It's a long day (my pickup for the flight was 5:30am; return to hotel around 11pm), but particularly for those with little time in Egypt, this is a really great option.
The company managed plane tickets and all the transport really well. One minor wait but that's about it - in a day like this, that's pretty dang good in my book! And the communication throughout was very smooth.
Also a shout-out to my guide Sam - he provided tons of information about all the sites and the area and Egypt as a whole, and also had ready answers to all of my questions!
Also really want to highlight my driver in Luxor - Abd Rabu. He was just the most charming! He always rushed out of the car to open the door for me (I am a fit young man, so definitely not used to this :D). Together with his friendliness, that just made me smile over and over and made the trip just a bit more unforgettable!
Would highly recommend both this trip, as well as Sam and Abd Rabu!
Our driver from our hotel name was GoGo, he was incredible navigating the roads and getting us safely to each location. Hazem was our host, very hospitable. On the way we stopped at jewelry, scarves, papyrus art, spices and finally sunset with Mustafa our 10 year old desert guide. We have done atvs all over the world but that was a thrill of a life time at sunset. My only complaint would be the store stops... if you are willing to throw caution to the wind...give it a try. You wont regret it.
Authentic Egyptian food at every stop, away from the touristy spots. Our guide was excellent, Louay is an Egyptologist foodie with a passion for sharing his culture. The falafel was amazing, and you must try the Egyptian “whisky!” Would absolutely recommend a tour with Louay anytime you are in Cairo. Five stars.
Mohammad our tour guide was excellent. He was very pleasant and took good care of my friend and I ensuring we got the best pictures we could possibly get. He also took the pictures from the perfect angles to get the funny shots against the visuals of the Pyramids and Sphinx. He gave us a lot of informative information too. Highly recommend this tour!
Quad (ATV) ride in the desert to see the Pyramids - loved it
Great fun for the family. Two adults and 3 children 12,12&13. We booked the night before. Seemlessly confirmed via telephone the next morning. We were collected from our hotel on time and driven safely to Giza Pyramids. We had a great tour guide who accompanied us and took photos using my phone. He knew how to get the best photos and helped us a lot. Definitely recommend this. You get a good view of the pyramids - of course not right beside them like a walking tour. But the quad bike or ATV was a more cool option. Very enjoyable. Remember to buy your own scalfs before hand to protect your face from sand and sun. Otherwise you may get a shock extra purchase. Another fabulous trip was the new grand museum of Cairo. Cheap entry, payable on the door or book via this application. You get a great view - inside air conditioning - and can take lovely pictures. One of the most beautiful museums I have been to in the world.
