Not a good experience.

kirusham, Mar 2024

This was definately not what i was expecting. This Boat needs to be refurnished and updated, as it was too old fashioned. The entertainment needs to be more professional n smart. The food needs to be better and the staff needs to be friendlier.

Waste of time and money.

Farzana_A, Dec 2023

The driver picked us up on time, and drove safely too. Unlike the rest of the Cairo drivers. The boat we sailed in was something from the titanic era. Old and horrible. Entertainment was ok. The food was horrible, bland and tasteless. Stodgy prison food. They had no grilled meat. Just dry chunk of unseasoned chicken that you had to choke down with over priced drinks. We ate more than half the meal and then I just stopped eating as i needed a drink. I was choking on food. After asking the waiter the 3rd time, he finally served us something to drink. We were seated in a corner and all we could smell was cigarette coming from the galley. The weirdest thing was our driver also sat on our table with a few of his friends. I’m assuming they were drivers too. I didn’t like that at all. I felt over dressed in heels and I nice black outfit. Most of the people there were men, glued to their phones. No one clapped for the entertainment. It felt so awkward.

Great experience!!

Liz_F, Dec 2023

Great experience with Mohammad and this tour! He was super professional and friendly. The dinner was great and the performers were fantastic. A must do for your first trip to Egypt!

Average time

Florin_C, Oct 2023

Nice thing to do but not the best service. Food was one of the best I had in Cairo but when ordering drinks, we felt robbed. Overpriced drinks and not even waiting for tips but not returning the change and assuming it is all tips(no matter the amount). Shows were ok(expected a bit more from entertainment) but sound quality was bad.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Not a Pleasant Evening

Donald_M, Sept 2023

Boat was crowded, the show was unending and Cheezy, the food was cold the organization was chaotic. An unenjoyable trip on the Nile

Anti-climatic experience.

Robert_G, Aug 2023

Just being on the Nile was memorable. it being an iconic river, we looked forward to cruising on it.

Very average. The trip took about 1.5 hrs standing a lot still. The boat was nice, food ok, performance average, people were doing there best.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

George_L, Mar 2023

Great view of the Nile. Our booking agent was very helpful! The only issue is that we didn't get to choose what to eat

Terrible

Hussam_A, Mar 2023

I do not recommend this dinner cruise to anyone. The food was cold and beverages were warm. The boat was very old and beat up. The table cloths were stained. The so called 5 star performance is a joke. The entire thing was disorganized! They didn’t tell you were to go for the buffet or the entertainment we wandered around looking for dinner then the entertainment. The tables were not assigned it was a free for all. I have never written a review prior to one but felt I needed to since it was such a disappointment on my last day in Egypt. DO NOT TAKE THIS DINNER CRUISE!!!!!

Response from Host, Mar 2023

MEH!

Lorraine_H, Feb 2023

The food in the buffet was very cold. And not edible. The facility was very old and rundown. While the dancing was lovely, there was a lot of pressure to get a photo and pay for a photo. The best thing about the trip was the driver, Baz. As a solo traveler, he was kind enough to sit with me and listen to the music. The music was incredibly loud.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Average boat

Samucawaldron_S, Dec 2022

Probably the dancing of the boy. The boat didn’t go for a full 2 hours which was a shame but the boat was ok.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Rip off, rather do a regular dinner by the Nile

Carolina_S, Dec 2021

My husband and me booked this cruise with the belief that it would be in the “Nile City” cruise, as advertised in the pictures. To our surprise it was not and instead was an older boat, not very clean or fancy, all over was ok, the driver picked us up very punctually and waited for us, the food was offered in a buffet and was quite fine. However if you pay around 90€ For two persons and have to pay drinks separate (40€ for 5 beers, little bottle of water and a Shisha) it is a lot of money for Egypt. Honestly I felt disappointed and would not recommend it, you can go for that money to a nice restaurant on the Nile and get something better for your money.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

My dear, carolin we apologize a lot for what happened and we have fixed this point and it will not happen again with you or any other guest, and we promise you that next time we will provide more services. Thank you for your comment

Not what I was expecting.

MEESCRIBES, Nov 2021

I was expecting a better show, it was okay but nothing espectacular. The tour guide took us to our table and left for a smoking break 25 minutes later he came back and sat at the table with us all night. I think he should have told us what to expect during the show or at least how to order drinks or help us. We had to ask how to order a drink to a server that didn’t speak Spanish or English and we had to wait for the server to get another server they speak English. (What’s the point of having a tour guide) Overall we could have done the tour our selfs (probably cheaper)

Response from Host, Jan 2022

My dear, Meesc we apologize a lot for what happened and we have fixed this point and it will not happen again with you or any other guest, and we promise you that next time we will provide more services. Thank you for your comment

Nice night on the Nile

Justine_V, Aug 2021

mediocre

Nile_reviewer, Feb 2020

the transportation was not bad for us. Fare was relatively cheap but boat is pretty dirty and not maintained well inside. Patrons and staff smoke in the small space which makes experience worse. Performances were ok; food very mediocre; boat was also very crowded which is clear they want to cram in as many takers as they can you get what you pay for remember

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Dear Sir.. We apologize a lot for what happened and the boat has been changed for the better. We promise you that next time we will provide more services and the price will be very suitable for you.... Thank you for your excellent comment

Great start to our trip

TrellieRo, Feb 2020

Our driver was punctual and got us to and from the cruise safely. He stayed with us throughout but also gave us space. The food was buffet style and there was some good choices even if you're a picky eater. There's a dessert table also. The entertainment was fun and enjoyable. We got pulled on the floor by the belly dancer which made it memorable. Lol🤣 You should also check out the upperdeck of the boat, great atmosphere and view. Shout out to the camera guy as well, he was really nice. We had a chance to sit and talk with him before the cruise ended. Really nice evening out!

Response from Host, Feb 2020

Great experience for the price

Connie_B, Jan 2020

Everything went as planned, the 'cruise' wasn't really a cruise. The tour guide stayed with me the entire time. The entertainment was great as was the food.

Je ne recommande pas , et je ne recommande pas VIATOR pour réserver

Eugenie_G, Jan 2025

Je n’ai pas pu y assister car ils ont mis trop de temps à me répondre et à m’envoyer l’adresse . Je ne recommande pas et je ne recommande pas VIATOR non plus

Pésima elección

Wilson_O, Nov 2024

Pésima opción, el taxi llegó una hora tarde, la comida muy mala, las bailarinas era una sola, la verdad no lo recomiendo para nada, si pueden evitarlo háganlo, las fotos no coinciden en nada con el show

Qualité moyenne

Eugnie_L, Feb 2024

Nous avons réservés pour 2 personnes, le repas était très bon et les desserts aussi. La musique à l'intérieur était beaucoup trop forte, les spectacles plutôt de qualité moyenne. Heureusement qu'il y avait le rouftoop pour s'aérer et surtout reposer nos oreilles. Par ailleurs le chauffeur qui est venu nous récupérer était génial et très serviable.

Aceptable

Ruben_O, Oct 2023

Mucho agobio para servirse la comida, el espectáculo bien. El transporte in y out excelente chofer, ofició además de guía turístico

Durchschnittliche Abendunterhaltung

Torben_W, Oct 2022

Büffet-Essen war ok, es gab 2Sorten Fleisch und Fisch, Getränke mussten extra gezahlt werden und waren für ägyptische Verhältnisse sehr teuer. Die Show war mittelmäßig, da die Darsteller wenig Lust versprühten. Der Boot ist unbesiegt Jahre gekommen - man bekommt aber während der 2h Fahrt einen ersten Eindruck vom Nil.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Uma experiência a não...

Marisa_M, Aug 2022

Uma experiência a não repetir. PRIMEIRO, esqueceram- se de nos ir buscar ao hotel. SEGUNDO- deram- nos a possibilidade de fazer o cruzeiro noutro dia, nós aceitamos, só que em vez de nos levarem para o cruzeiro que tínhamos reservado, levaram- nos para um de 2 estrelas ( eles diziam que era de 5 estrelas, depois já diziam que era de 4 estrelas), enfim .... uns vigaristas. Por fim, levaram- nos para um que supostamente era de 5 estrelas.... as bebidas eram sevidas em copos de plástico ( isto não é serviço de 5 estrelas). Não aconselho, mesmo nada...

Response from Host, Aug 2022
