A lovely short boat tour of the Nile through Cairo - I liked that we had the option to go by motor or sail felucca. We chose motor felucca because we could see more of Cairo because the motor boats could go under the low bridges. The guide was funny and pointed out many interesting sites.

Amazing, soothing, comfortable - They were amazing people, very helpful. They made sure I felt comfortable as I was by myself. The boat tour was amazing the route they take you on is beautiful. They were very patient as I botched the pick up location several times and they allowed me to change it. They were very punctual coming 10 minutes early They offer both pickup and drop off.

The local tour operators are class - We unfortunately had to cancel our boat ride due to extreme heat that day, but I am leaving a review to commend the tour operator company's professionalism and flexibility. Despite Viator having a no refund policy, we were assisted by the local tour company and given a refund. I will be contacting this company for all my tour needs during my next visit.

Nice people, limited access to the Nile - We ran out of time to do this in Luxor so we tried to do it in Cairo. Everything was great with the guide, driver and boat but the bridges that cross the river are too low for the felucca to pass under. Had we known that we would be in a very limited space we would have passed on the activity. Again, the people were great and we had fun but it would have been nice to have more of the river accessible for the trip.

Tour guide likes to hustle - Friendly guide. A bit too familiar though. Shouldn’t be asking for great reviews and also changing the plan with a different boat s d journey.

Waste of time ! - If you have nothing better to do and need to waste 45 minutes of your time, then do this. Otherwise don’t bother. We got picked up from our hotel by our guide and driver. I’m not sure what the guide was there for as she was totally clueless about anything to do with Cairo. Any questions we asked about the buildings, culture, food she just shrugged. For the last 15 minutes of the ride she was on her phone. Very rude! We opted for the motor felucca, and we were able to go further up the river, but we just couldn’t wait for it to end. A guide is supposed to be engaging, fun and knowledgeable. I shall be requesting a refund !
