“We had a wonderful 2 hour cruise this evening. Our driver was right on time and we arrived safely at the marina. Our guide Abeer was excellent. She gave us the option of a felucca or a motorboat which would allow us to see more as the felucca cannot go under the bridges. We choose the motorboat and we saw so much of the river. Abeer told us many things about the Nile, Cairo, and Egypt. She took great pictures of us. The trip and Abeer completely exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this tour to others.”

“Amazing, fabulous and extraordinary!!! We got picked up at 8am in the morning and instantly it was a good experience. Our tour guide was kind, helpful, funny & full of information!! First stop was the pyramids/Sphinx which was 10/10 just fabulous, he was taking photos of us during the excursion and he knew everything and more about the sights. Next stop was Sakkara, around a 30minute drive from the pyramids (a nice rest) and we stopped at a shop for a drink/snack which he payed for - very kind. Sakkara was an incredible experience. Last stop was Memphis city to see statues and artifacts! A 5 hour tour turned into…”

All the guides were excellent (Mustafa Habibi, Menna and others thank you from the bottom of our heart! you made our trip unforgetable), they knew their job and did it to the fullest with respect to our wishes and liking.

“Before we started the trip we had a lot of communication with Mohra Rady to make our trip custom to our wishes. We wanted to do, see and experience as much as possible, which fits perfect with this type of trip. Mohra couldn't have helped us any better than she did and was basically our best friend in Egypt (even though we never actually met, haha!). She assisted us with anything before, during and even after our trip, and we enjoyed communicating with her. The trip itself was very full, but met all our needs and expectations. We started in Cairo, which was the perfect start of our trip! After…”
A private two-hour Cairo felucca dinner cruise with Egyptian food, Nile skyline views, music, karaoke, and attentive service for $46.
“We loved the boat ride and recommend doing it. The boat was operated from a nice restaurant at the bank of the Nile. The restaurant was very busy and full of locals which was the first good sign. Unlike other offers on the web was this genuinely a private tour - we had a nice large boat to ourselves. The dinner consisted of some typical Egyptian starters and side dishes, a plate with a mixed grill and rice as a main, Arabic desserts. We had soft drinks and tea during our ride. The staff was great, overall a luxury experience and the price is in my eyes totally fair.”

“The felucca ride was absolutely beautiful. Our ride commenced just before sunset which was perfect. The boat is meant for a small intimate setting, holding up to 10-15 people comfortably. We were lucky to have had this ride all to ourselves. The captain was friendly and we felt safe sailing the Nile River. This was the last tour of our trip and we were extremely happy that we were greeted by Nader, the tour guide for our first tour (Dinner Cruise on the Nile). He was just as great of a guide as he was the first time. He is friendly, easy going, informative and simply a pleasure to be…”
