So the actual ride was very relaxing. It is between two bridges in central Cairo but a serene break from the hubub of Cairo itself. The boatman was friendly and able to answer questions about what we saw on the trip. On the negative side the length of the tour includes pickup time which makes sense for longer tours but when that accounts for a hour of the 2 hour trip it needs to be made clear. The tour guide (described as an "onboard Egyptologist guide" on the website) was very pleasant but said nothing during the trip. Not sure why an Egyptologist is needed when there is no ancient Egypt to s
Great experience! Good weather and great views on a relaxing sail. Picked up at my hotel, good Arabic lunch, friendly guide.
Booked the previous night. Was collected promptly on time and driven to the boat. Had a great time touring the Nile. The captain was very accommodating and our guide (Azoma) was very friendly and spoke fluent English. All in all we enjoyed ourselves and would recommend this experience
I got sexual harassment from my guide. I was the only guest on the boat. He touched my hands without permission and said something sexual thing to test my limit. That was the grossest experience I ever had. He spent almost 70% of the tour time talking about his things instead of doing his guide job.
The sights, the ponctuality on the pick-up ftom the hotel and the great conversations with Hassan and Issan
My guide Kareem was 100% accommodating, patient, and professional! Perfect tour on the Nile! I had very little time in Cairo, and they still made it happen for me. I would do this again in a heartbeat!
