Private Feluca - Is Private, and Amazing! - We had a lovely time with this tour. I was so skeptical for the price because it was so affordable, but they delivered more than expected. We were picked up from hotel, and driver didn't just drop us at dock, he walked us down and made sure we got on our boat. We did have our own private feluca. We got towed out and then came back with the current. It wasn't an hour, but we could have stayed out longer if we wanted to. They offered, but we were good and had seen what we wanted to see. Our Captain, Bazid, was so friendly. We enjoyed every minute we spent with him. He made sure we got some beautiful photos together, we will treasure. He was also able to tell us about the sites along the river, and stories of the Nile. Our driver was there when we were done and walked us back across busy road and took us safely back to hotel. He was great too, pointing out sites along the way and answering questions. We came at magical time, got to dock a little after five so got to see the sun set, then then was on the water as all the lights and fountain came on. We are thinking about going back and doing it another night, we had such a good time. Thank you!

Fun Nile boat experience! - What a wonderful experience! They pick you up straight from the hotel, our driver stopped and walked us right to the boat because we were tourists who didn’t know our way. Abdul, our boat captain, was amazing! He made sure to take tons of pictures and even directed our poses. He played fun, modern music and was dancing and singing with us. He even put his traditional wear on my partner and taught him some dances. I would definitely do that again. It was fun in a couple, I would assume it would be even better in a group!

Relaxing, beautiful moment - It was a great trip! We had the whole sailboat to ourselves and it was relaxing with plenty of room for at least 10 people! I’m glad we decided to book last minute and do it! :)

Felucca on Nile - It was good , driver picked up us from our hotel and took us to Nile. But our sailing on Nile wasn’t 1 hour as it was said in our tour. Overall I preferred this to the cruise that is crowded.

Great trip for the money!... - Great trip for the money! Driver picked me up from hotel. Supplied me with food and drink from a local vendor en route (chicken shawarma) Boat ride itself was perfect. And then when finished I was taken directly back to my hotel. Excellent value and a great experience

What a pity... - Let's begin with a 1 hr delay in our pick up and transfer which, of course, altered all the rest of the day. Anyhow, kindly enough the local Tour Operator kept in touch via WA advising us on the proper arrival of the driver, 60 minutes later... Safe drive to the Nile corniche. The boarding site is in Cairo, among buildings and skyscrapers which, of course, took away a good part of the romance but we expected this. What we didn't expect was the attempt to let us board a sailless vessel, a motorboat! With the childish excuse they "there's no wind"... Well, big mistake! I sail since my childhood: it was windy and it was visible through the tree topa all around, just to mention one. And in fact, in the end, we sailed... I don't like to be treated as a stupid tourist and I don't like people attempting to be smarter than they actually are. But the boat ride, in the end, was nice, even if much, much, much shorter than written on the program... Therefore, if you're up to stand for what you paid for, you might do it, otherwise watch out: it might be not worthy...

Very touristy ride in a Flucca - For me, it wasn’t worth the time or the money. The driver was lovely and the operator of the boat was lovely as well. However, the disco music by other boats on the Nile was loud and certainly not relaxing. As there was no wind the felucca had to be towed by a motorised boat. We just went round in a big circle.
