Amazing sailing on the Nile river - We enjoyed our felluca ride with Balil very much. He communicated well with the planning and picking us up. He made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed the ride. The sail was fantastic. Balil took great pictures of us and showed us the sites around the area. We will come back and take this tour again.

Sunset on the Nile! - We had a great time on the Felucca. It was the perfect opportunity to relax from the hustle and bustle of Cairo. Bilal our guide, picked us up as planned and remained with us throughout, ready to answer questions. We went just before sunset and the dipping sun gave some great photos and happy memories.

Peace on the Nile - The tour operators were great. The ride on the Nile was a peaceful one, just how I like it :) The boat operator gave us Arabic lessons, which was nice :)

Perfect getaway from noisy megalopolis - Sunset felucca ride was among the first points in my "to do list" in Cairo and the reality was even better than expectations drawn in one's fantasies. I completely enjoyed this peaceful ride in the heart of busy Cairo megalopolis. Don't expect a trip from A to B via C, just relax facing fresh winds and listening to the Nile waves. Special thanks to my guide Amir for his priceless advices, stories about the city sites and pleasant small talks - these interventions were softly and perfectly harmonized with the moment. Very intelligent, well-educated and loving his native city - Amir is highly recommended.

5-star experience - We had a great time. The Felucca was pretty. The ride is an experience you must have, you won’t regret it. Mohsen made sure we had a wonderful time. He is very knowledgeable of his city. I highly recommend this tour!

Not what we had expected - We booked for 6 pm because we had a previous tour ending at 4. We were asked to move our tour to 4:00 so that the tour guide would be free to break fast. Our boat trip lasted just about an hour, not two hours. We didn't travel up and down the river, just a short ways out and the boat operator basically held us in place even though there was a good wind. There was no commentary or information given at all

Did not live up to any expectations - We arrived at the boat , boarded and after approx 20 mins asked if were ready to go. We said no, we came to see the sunset on the Nile. Less than 20mins later we were heading back to the car and we were back at the hotel 1 hr from departure incl transfers. We received no refreshment and frankly were disappointed, sailing in a circle for a little over 30 mins and hurried back to the hotel. Would not recommend

Rubbish short journey - We were hurried through….spent time crossing the river to the other side and then returned. You can get the same trip for 10 Egyptian pounds. Not worth is but the captain was nice and the guide did help us get a taxi afterward. Overall, really disappointing.
