First Rate - The driver arrived on time. The boat tour was peaceful and relaxing. The captain was engaging and accommodating. Due to the recent geo political situation, I was the only person on the boat. First class operation from beginning to end. Highly recommend.

Magical; highly recommend. - I booked the felucca ride for the 4 pm sunset slot, and the experience was truly magical. Watching the sun set over the Nile while sailing on a traditional felucca was unforgettable. The colours of the sky and reflections on the water made the entire ride incredibly peaceful and scenic. There was plenty of time spent on the Nile, so it never felt rushed. At the start, we were informed that the wind was not strong enough for sailing, but the team handled it very well by initially connecting the felucca to a larger motorised boat. Once conditions allowed, the felucca sailed back to the shore on its own, which was a nice touch and showed their professionalism. Overall, it was a beautiful and well managed experience. I highly recommend booking the sunset time for the best views and atmosphere.

Wonderful memory, Loved it ! - Absolutely incredible experience. I booked it for sunset time, the pickup from the hotel and drop off were on time. The ride was as promised and it was Sail boat as was mentioned. The view of the city is exceptional.

Nile River Felucca - I can’t think of a better way to enjoy an evening in Cairo than to embark on a private sunset felucca cruise on the Nile River.

A bit disappointing - We only went up the Nile about 200 yards as it couldn’t go under the first bridge. We then just sat there floating about for the rest of our hour. However everyone who picked us up and sailed the boat were nice and friendly. If you want to see more of the Nile this is not for you. The price was reasonable but overall a bit disappointing

The felucca driver, hotel... - The felucca driver, hotel transportation driver, and booking confirmation contact are all different people which made it very unclear and confusing when trying to meet. Felucca driver nonstop smoked during the whole cruise. The felucca just went straight across the river and back, very underwhelming. On a positive note, the felucca was clean.

Beware - We went a few yards from the shore only abd towed back by a motor boat. No wind. Your operator should not have taken our money
