Traveller reviews
Our tour was amazing. We set off slightly earlier than expected (4:30pm) however it made the trip perfect as we was way ahead of all the other boats so we basically got the River Nile to ourselves, as well as the sunset. We were offered herbal tea which was very nice and the deck team were very nice and friendly. I would 100% recommend!!!
We had a very nice time on our felucca ride. The ride was amazing and our guide was very kind. The boat driver and his son were very experienced and kind and we had a fabulous time sailing down the Nile. It’s a two hour ride which gives you perfect time to admire the Nile and the price was fantastic and so worth it!
We had a wonderful experience on this private felucca cruise in Luxor. Because it was a completely private tour for just my wife and me, we were able to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery at our own pace. The timing was perfect, allowing us to see both the east and west banks of Luxor in daylight before enjoying a stunning sunset over the Nile. The captain was very friendly and took many great photos for us throughout the cruise. He also used a translation app to explain the history of the Nile River, which made the experience much more meaningful and interesting. The sunset views were absolutely beautiful and became one of the highlights of our trip to Egypt. Highly recommended for couples looking for a peaceful and memorable experience on the Nile. Thank you for a fantastic evening!
Excellent activity. Although it was hot in Luxor, it was quite nice on the Nile and the views and sunset are excellent. The 2 gentlemen (Ahmed and Ahmed) on the boat were very courteous and gave us soft drinks and water. They also played some traditional songs and got us to participate. The kids liked having a turn at steering the boat too. It was a really great pre-dinner activity so highly recommend this experience.
We had Muhammed as our guide, Abdullah as our captain, and the young boy Mahmood as his trusty first mate. we we well entertained and they even allowed us to get involved with some piloting which we really enjoyed! All in all it was a very nice evening spent coasting along the Nile hearing interesting stories with good company 😊👌🏿👏🏿
Great communication, and well organised. The crew were so friendly and hospitable. I would definitely recommend this boat ride.
What a fun and amazing experience. The two crew guys were so accommodating, polite and so much fun. Constant messages and on time pick up. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I'll say it again, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
We were picked up on time. Two young guys sailed the boat. They were very friendly and adapted the experience to our personal needs. It was very beautiful and calm
