Amazing - It was absolutely fantastic. There is no better way to travel along the Nile :) Pulling out the sail was probably the best part too!

Sailing on the Nile - Sailing on the Nile River is something everyone should do, just because of the history of the river. I was a bit leery of this excursion as it was almost too cheap to believe. But everything promised was delivered - pickup and drop off at my hotel and one hour on the river.

Breath of fresh air - It was a magnificent experience, our driver was incredibly pleasant and even came to pick us up from the museum we were at (which we normally didn’t agree to). He made sure we were comfortable, the felucca was just as we wanted it (no motor, old-type) and they made sure we rlly got on the felucca with sunset. The felucca driver was the best too, he even offered us his own cigarettes, didn’t speak English but tried to talk to us still and dance with us, put up his music. After some intense days in Cairo, this was a very much needed breather of just sitting back and relaxing.

1-hour Felucca trip on the Nile - After a hectic day in Cairo, this 1-hour Felucca trip on the Nile at sunset was the perfect way to unwind. The driver picked us up on time, stayed with us throughout the tour and dropped us off at the hotel. The old Felucca and its sailor were a delight. Would highly recommend this tour.

Nice sunset - We had a pleasant trip with a nice sunset. We were able to make some nice pics due to a private boat trip. Pick up and drop off were on point. We enjoyed ourselves!

Felucca was not available... - Felucca was not available when we arrived, instead we were offered a private boat which sounds nice but the engine wasn’t working properly and just wanted the experience we had hoped for.

No show - Nobody has picked us up at the President Hotel Zamalek. The pick up was at 5.30 and we waited until 6.00 so we would like a refund please 🙏

Trip Egypt worst agency - Trip Egypt is the worst agency ever. I was with my baby, we wanted to see the sunset, we waited them for almost one hour, my baby was crying, they finally came one hour later so we did our tour at night, we didn’t see anything.

Scammed by a fake taxi driver - We booked the trip at 4pm. We haven't been contacted by anyone at the agency or even the taxi driver who was supposed to pick us up. After a delay of fifteen minutes, we went out of the hotel lobby and were approached by a person who posed as our taxi driver who obviously cheated us .. so much fear and 50 € less, which could very well have been avoided with a simple whatsapp by an agency or taxi driver who alerted us to the delay or the details of our driver. Unfortunately these scams happen in Cairo and while being careful you can come across them, but there is anger because it could have been avoided.
