A wonderful time, great guide, beautiful river. We took a sale boat instead of an motor boat and it was a great time.

Average cruise

Gail_W, Aug 2023

Enjoyed the cruise BUT the guide did not point out important landmarks along the way nor talk about the history of Cairo. This information is good to know as a tourist. Food was average. Disappointed

We were a little disappointed they set sail with very little wind we probably only hit 900meters out and came back, we actually only got to the middle of the Nile from the bank so we really did not cruise the Nile we just got half way Accross it and back.

Formidable

We met Firo who was our guide for the day, we loved it, Firo is great and very pleasant with a smile. It's more than just a felucca ride. Firo knows the best places. I recommend this excursion and this guide who made us spend a great day!

A wonderful experience

Daly and the captain were great. It was a lovely excursion - very peaceful. The lunch was excellent. It was just my husband and I and we would definitely book again.

Disappointing beyond. Believe
