  1. Alex

    Punctual pick-up. Views from Nile are spectacular at sunset. Two hour is too long when there is no wind, as they are not going far by rowing with the stick not a paddle. Anchored for a long time. Was relaxing but cold day so we returned early. BYOB or tea although not sure if allowed.

    The feluca ride was a great experience and a nice way to decompress after our flight. I’d recommend it to anyone thinking about it.

    Tour includes transportation to the pier from our hotel which was helpful. It was a very romantic evening but I wish we had brought snacks and drinks on the boat as the ride is a bit long. All in all a nice way to relax and wrap up our trip to Cairo.

    I would of rated this more but I really feel that for the duration light snacks and drinks would of made it perfect. It was so peaceful away from all the noise from the city chaos traffic. We went with our 6 & 9 year old they enjoyed it. Beautiful to see the sunset

    the Felucca ride is a nice break from Cairo’s renowned crowded and noisy streets. The sunset on the Nile always offer beautiful colors and inspiring sceneries.
    However, the organisation was not very efficient. The pick up from the hotel was perfectly in time but arrived at the dock we had to wait 1 hour before sailing, losing the best moment of the sunset. The ride lasted less than two hours.

    Very nicely arranged and executed. Perfect relaxing sail on the Nile. The sunset time was the perfect Tim etc go.

    Cool to see Cairo from a different perspective. We booked a sunset trip and it went from just after 3 to just before 5, so no sunset and not the two hours (3-5pm included transfers to and from our hotel- we were on the water for about 45 minutes). This suited us in the end as we had our one year old with us, but it wasn’t what we were expecting. Our Captain was lovely and engaged with both my husband and myself as well as our daughter.

    Une excursion de deux heures est beaucoup trop longues sachant que la felouque fait juste des allers retours sur 200m au même endroit 15min suffit largement pour cette activité.
    Cher pour ce que c’est
    Nous avions demandé un guide français pour avoir l’histoire du Caire, et nous n’avons rien eu du tout
    C’était une déception du début à la fin

  11. Mary_M

    Very disappointed. We arrived at the port and while we were waiting for the felucca they called us and apologized that the felucca will be delayed 30 minutes. We were happy to wait but the felucca never came at the end. We missed 2 hours of our time. We decided to take another boat finally and we asked for a refund. After 2 weeks I was never refunded. So please think twice if your wanna book this tour. So pathetic.

    We booked a two hours boots trip on the nile. They finished the boot trip after 1 hour 20 minutes, because the captain have to eat. The boot was just passing near the port. For us it was not a good feeling.

  13. Julie_C

    So we booked on the day all good. We get contacted before the scheduled pick up to say it would be a motor boat and not felucca due to inclement weather. OK better than nothing let’s go.
    Pick up ok, transfer to the boat ok. Boat ride rubbish. We went upstream approximately 2km. The disinterested captain point out five things. The two Four Seasons hotels, a fountain, the house of a former President and the direction of Giza. He also requested some generous baksheesh was in order. 40 minutes later we are finished and returned to our hotel without issue. We watched the sunset with numerous feluccas bobbing about from our hotel balcony….don’t waste your time and money people

    Driver never show up and while there is an option of putting an adress that is not on the list , they do not pick you up if at any adress not in the rolling down menu.
    We agreed on meeting in front of the hotel and we stayed waiting for our driver to show up. We called three times our contact who would tell us in 10 minutes the driver will be show . Never happened. After waiting for half an hour we cancelled the trip

    I booked it last minute on the day, Christine Gale Q from Viator was most helpful in finding something suitable for my family.
    Local tour group called me after waiting around for a bit but it was well worth it.
    The boat driver (controller) was amazing also took some wonderful scenic pics of my family.
    Hotel Pick Up and Drop off is a huge time saver once you get that sorted.
    River Nile cruise 8.5 out of 10 I am being realistic.
    Well worth it. Would be nice to have snacks on the boat but luckily we took our own.

  16. Debra_B

    None, we were driven around for 45 minutes and then told there was no boat. Still waiting for our refund.

    Pick up and drop off from the hotel went fine. Was expecting a different experience. There was no wind not to the fault of the operator, so we took a motorized boat which was not running smoothly and had strong fumes. Would not recommend.
