A wonderful time, great guide, beautiful river. We took a sale boat instead of an motor boat and it was a great time.
Enjoyed the cruise BUT the guide did not point out important landmarks along the way nor talk about the history of Cairo. This information is good to know as a tourist. Food was average. Disappointed
We were a little disappointed they set sail with very little wind we probably only hit 900meters out and came back, we actually only got to the middle of the Nile from the bank so we really did not cruise the Nile we just got half way Accross it and back.
We met Firo who was our guide for the day, we loved it, Firo is great and very pleasant with a smile. It's more than just a felucca ride. Firo knows the best places. I recommend this excursion and this guide who made us spend a great day!
Daly and the captain were great. It was a lovely excursion - very peaceful. The lunch was excellent. It was just my husband and I and we would definitely book again.
Unimpressed ... 40 min. On a boat stuck between 2 bridge .. no information given to us . As 1st time. Egypt visitors and to the Nile . Food. We received was provided from unknown location. The result my wife. Has fallen ill and hat to get treatment at a hospital and we had to cancel our next upcoming tour. Because of it ...
