“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.”

The tour of the temples was great, overall experience was great. We didn't get to do the Felucca ride as I fell sick in the afternoon.”
