Worth seeing!
Booking, payment, and ticket delivery were easy. The experience itself was also very nice, with enough time and plenty of things to see in the area.
The driver spoke little English, as expected, but that shouldn't be a problem.
He shared a few names of well-known or famous buildings and also took a few photos of us.
Towards the end, we were less pleased with the behavior that was displayed regarding the topic of "tipping."
He was visibly dissatisfied with the amount of the tip given.
Overall, however, we would book such a trip again and can also recommend it.

Great value felucca ride on the Nile
We booked a felucca ride on the Nile for myself, my husband and children, my parents and our guide. The booking was easy and we found all the communication attentive and clear. The dock where we boarded was a little dark and the felucca itself seemed a little old but it did not take away from the relaxing and memorable experience. It was great value for money and I would recommend it! I hope to do it again one day!

Navigation on the Nile at sunset 🤩
It was a great time for our first night in Cairo after the horn concerts and the madness of the city traffic jams!!!
We had brought a bottle of champagne and cupcakes for the aperitif 🥂 .
Our “captain” was really on top and his kindness contributed greatly to the success of this timeless moment

Nile sail boat ride
This was actually a fun experience and I enjoyed it. We booked this last minute and we were just looking to kill time on our last day in Cairo. We jumped on a sailboat, but there was no wind, so we were towed out to the middle of the river and we basically sat there for an hour. It was a fun time, but I would not characterize it as sailing. If I did it again, I would’ve picked a boat with the motor.

A peaceful, beautiful night in a canoe.
Very smooth organization and arrangement. I took a boat alone, a very quiet hour, flood water, good memories, thank you for arranging. Recommended to everyone. But at 7 p.m. in October, I missed the sunset. You can set it for 6 p.m.

Not recommended through Agency
Tour price is 3 times the actual price, you can go directly without the need to book through websites.
They gave us only 45 mins tour only (not more than an hour as promised) as we already paid online and the driver/guide kept silent and didn't explain anything.
You can go to the same tour for a longer time with much less price.
The tour itself in nile is very nice, the negative comments are on the service received through this booking
