This experience was truly terrible. This company stole my money by charging me 90 euros for three people for a tour that, as it turned out, was only 13 euros per person. They refuse to refund me the difference. I booked through GetYourGuide, which only refunded me 13 euros. Less than 20 minutes on a felucca that drifted only 100 meters from shore. Don't do it! They're truly awful.

Der Tourguide Mohamed war sehr nett und hilfsbereit und der Fahrer Ashry war sehr sicher und ein guter Fahrer. Wir hatten einen netten Trip und konnten zwischen einer Feluke und einem Motorboot aussuchen, da der Wind sehr schwach war für die Feluke.

It's a good experience for the price, we got to pick the time of day, and an hour was enough for us especially in 40 degrees, picked up and dropped off at our hotel.

We had a wonderful experience on the Felucca ride along the Nile River. Everything was perfectly organised from start to finish. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly and made the trip even more enjoyable and our boat driver was just as lovely. The ride was peaceful and relaxing with beautiful views, we opted for the Felucca with the sails and the chicken shwarma wrap for lunch was delicious. A truly memorable and authentic experience, highly recommended!
