Relaxing vibes

A quiet, charming ride on the Nile with stunning views and relaxing vibes. This private felucca tour gave us time to reflect and soak in the magic of Cairo. A truly unique way to connect with the spirit of Egypt.

Terrible waste of time and money.

We booked a lunch tour for two hrs. Got 45 mins. Driver took us on a joy ride to his friends who tried to scam us. Immediately after we got in the friend’s house he disappeared whilst they did their number on us and came back after an hour long presentations. I don’t know why we spent an hour in someone’s house when we were supposed to be on the waters enjoying our last lunch in Egypt. What happened to my right to choose where i’m being taken to ? We basically felt under pressure to spend money. Then to show that he could get us back to our hotel in time he was driving recklessly. Not the usual Cairo driving but this was noticeably risky. On the pick up and drop off he refused to get to the hotel door which every other tour driver did for a whole week we were there. There are police check points before our hotel but the police are there to guide everyone. Once they see tourists in the car they open the gates and let you through. We walked back to the hotel for 3 km’s. Decide for yourself but this was a waste.

Please make sure you booked with us. There is no booking under your name; you must have booked with someone else. Please be accurate.
