The tour rep was very friendly and helpful. Organisation was fine. The trip itself is a little disappointing. The boat cannot pass under the bridges so it just drifted around a little in the small space between the two bridges, there was nothing much to see and little distance was covered.
I took this tour during my stopover in Cairo where I had to spend 8 hours between my flights. My guide Omar met me straight outside of the Airport building. He is a really smart guide, speaks several languages and knows a lot of interesting things about Cairo culture and traditions. I've been on my own in air conditioned car with the guide and a driver, and also in Felucca just with the guide and a captain, so I felt as a princess :) And the sunset was amazing, so relaxing! And after the sunset there are even more boats coming to enjoy the evening cool, all of them are covered with lights, every has its own music, so it is so beautiful and authentic! It is incredible to experience all of this for that price. Highly recommended!
