Peaceful felucca ride on Nile river
Ahmed is very friendly & nice tour guide. During the trip, he walked us through many major sights along the Nile river and shared many relevant historical facts on those. The felucca we got was very lovely. It’s powered entirely by wind power, so that it sailed peacefully with no machinery noise and diesel smell. Highly recommend his tour!
Operator response

Simply AMAZING
I went with my girlfriend for the very first time here in Aswan and I have to say that the experience that we had was astonishing. Through the details, the culture, the laughs. Our tour guide Moadaz Saloh was spectacular. Would recommend him to anyone who is traveling here! He’s also an amazing photographer hahaha

You shouldn't miss this experience
Mohamed introduced us to the magical city of Aswan, and what a beautiful experience it was!
We had originally planned a felucca ride, but thanks to Mohamed, we also stopped at a traditional Nubian guest house, saw their household crocodiles and visited the local market — all on the same day.
I highly recommend anyone travelling to Egypt to stop in Aswan.
And if you don't want to miss anything: just contact Mohamed and let him show you around the city, and arrange a felucca ride at sunset — you won’t be disappointed!
Thank you, Mohamed, for showing us Aswan through your eyes and turning what we had planned as a simple felucca ride into such a memorable experience!

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Mohamed truly has a gift for turning a simple day out into something unforgettable, and we love that he went above and beyond to show you the real Aswan — the Nubian guest house, the crocodiles, the local market, and of course that sunset felucca ride, all woven together into one magical day.
Aswan has such a special charm, and it's guides like Mohamed who bring that magic to life for our guests. Thank you for recommending Aswan and for trusting him to show you around through his own eyes — that personal touch is exactly what we hope every traveler experiences with us.
We're so happy you had such a memorable time, and we hope to welcome you back to Egypt again soon!

Cancelled with no refund
The operator cancelled the tour 30 minutes before due to weather. After repeated attempts to get a refund, they have ignored my requests every time. I do not recommend this.

Not good, only 30 minutes, and too expensive
Not good. We had to take a few boats to get to the feluca boat. When we got there, he did not even use the feluca sail, the boat was closed up, and we only spent 1/2 hour when it was supposed to be 1 hour. If you just find a felucca when you arrive in Aswan instead of booking ahead, you can get it for 1/5th of the price than booking on viator.
Operator response
We’re genuinely surprised by your feedback, as it does not reflect the standard experience we consistently deliver.
First, reaching the felucca sometimes involves short transfers depending on docking conditions in Aswan, which is normal and outside of our control. However, the felucca itself is an authentic sailing experience, and whether the sail is used depends on wind conditions for safety reasons—this is standard practice, not a service failure.
Regarding the duration, our records show the activity was completed within the scheduled timeframe. If there was any misunderstanding on timing, we would have appreciated being contacted immediately so we could resolve it on the spot.
As for pricing comparisons, booking through platforms like Viator includes verified service quality, organization, customer support, and safety assurances—this is very different from negotiating random services on arrival, which comes with its own risks and inconsistencies.
We always aim to provide a smooth, reliable, and enjoyable experience, and it’s unfortunate this was not your perception. Nonetheless, we remain committed to improving and delivering the high standards most of our guests appreciate.
