Dream day - All was perfect. Great tour and great guide. Booked for 2 hours on the water and that's what we got. Easy to book and hotel pick up drop off. Great price. Saw herons,egrits and an eagle swooping down Some kids swimming in the shallows opposite posh hotels. Very highly recommended. Dave m

Amazing experience - It was wonderful! Fawaz informed us about the locals and how studying and working here functions. It was very interesting to know, and he was very kind and helpful with everything. Definitely worth it!

Last minute success - It was a sweet evening. The tour guide and diver picked me up from my hotel, then on our way to the felucca, the guide picked up my koshari dinner. The ride was quiet, with just me, the felucca driver, and my guide. I got to see the fountain go off in the Nile, and see a peaceful sunset. I booked the night before as an Egyptian friend recommended I do a felucca ride, and this was a beautiful trip.

Unforgettable Trip! - We had a blast on our felucca tour with both Hamada and Fouly! They truly made the experience one of a kind and treated us just like one of their friends. Emo Tours was very clean, safe and overall a terrific company to book with. They accommodated both pick up and drop off at our hotel as well. Hamada and Fouly specifically helped with the proposal to my girlfriend on the felucca and they went above and beyond to make it a special evening for the two of us. This will be a trip we will never forget!

Nice, quick trip for family and friends - It was nice. Our guide, Tarek, did a good job of explaining the surroundings and some history of the buildings, city, and split between Cairo and Giza.

Peaceful sailing and lunch in restaurant - Sailing on the Nile was so relaxing and peaceful, a huge contrast to the crazy streets of Cairo. There was enough wind to fill the sails and we sailed about 1km from the jetty. We saw a black kite snatch a fish from the river right by the boat. Our guide, Mustafa, was really nice and helpful, and arrived at the hotel to collect us bang on time. Car was clean too. Minus points: tour operator tried to move the trip 1h later, then told us that the included lunch was not going to be on the boat. The driver took us to a restaurant in downtown Cairo, where food was plentiful and very tasty, but switching plans was unsettling. Trip description should make this clearer.

They stole my money - Since I needed to buy two extra tickets (for my wife and my son) they asked to pay 60 euros. They are dishonest.
