Hello, I am extremely dissatisfied with the service provided. I had reserved a felucca for 2 hours; upon arrival, no felucca was present, and I was put on a motorboat for only a one-hour outing. The ordered meal (beef shawarma) was not respected: I was informed in the afternoon that it would not be provided. The sandwich that was left for me was simply placed on the bench at 6 PM, while the departure did not take place until 7 PM, and the return was at 8 PM. Furthermore, the boat driver took the liberty of stopping to buy cigarettes during the trip. This level of service is unacceptable and far from what was advertised.
Terrible experience ! Neither guide nor captain spoke English and during 1 hour the boat hardly moved! No explanation why! Bad experience, waste of time and money!
Everything was fine.Nice boat trip .Te manager was very polite ……………………………………………………………………………………………..
Terrible experience. The company asked me to pay 90 euros for three people, when I later found out that the tour was only 13 euros a per
It was nice, but the trip which was supposed to be 2 hours only took about one hour. Make sure to calculate the traffic to get there. It is insane.
An absolute disgrace! Don’t book this activity. We opted for the one-hour boat trip, which included drinks and a transfer from the hotel. We were therefore hugely disappointed that none of the three aforementioned points were fulfilled. First of all, we received a message (quite coincidentally just 24 hours before the booking – meaning you can no longer cancel or you lose the full amount) stating that we had to pay an extra 10 US dollars for transport. There was no mention of this anywhere on the website. Furthermore, 10 dollars for a 20-minute ride in Egypt is an outrageous amount. From the very first moment, we felt cheated. Then, at the docks, things were very poorly organised. Whoever shouted the loudest got their ‘clients’ onto the boat. We had specifically booked a sunset trip and, because we had to wait 20 minutes, we missed it. A key point here is that there is simply no communication; no one takes the time to let us know when it is our turn. We then spent a good 30 minutes on the boat (sitting is the correct word, not sailing, as we spent at least 15 of those 30 minutes back on shore). The wind was poor – in itself something they can’t do anything about, but this isn’t what we paid for, of course. After half an hour, the captain turned back because he said there was no point given the weather conditions. (‘Sailing’ isn’t really the right word either, as for the first five minutes we were simply blown backwards and, after about half an hour, we were back where we started). Our captain didn’t offer a single word of explanation. Our disappointment was all the greater when, ‘during the trip’, we weren’t even given any drinks. When we expressed our dissatisfaction to the communications officer, he said he was merely an intermediary and that it wasn’t his concern. Conclusion: a waste of money and a complete rip-off, given that none of the conditions were met.
It was nice but different than described. It seemed disorganized, the journey on the Nile only took about 40 minutes and there were no drinks.
The organization and communication was great. Unfortunately, it was not a hatchback, perhaps the bad and very windy weather was to blame. For me it wasn’t really worth it, the views of Cairo along the Nile didn’t really convince me.
We were picked up from our hotel on time but the driver was very fast and we didn’t feel safe especially in the back where there wasn’t enough seatbelts for everyone. We arrived and were soon on a large felluca boat that we had to ourselves and we loved the peaceful ride along a part of the Nile. There wasn’t much wind so we got towed a bit further along. We enjoyed the boat ride but we had booked a felluca ride for 2 hours supposedly with a soft drink included but the sailor wanted to take us back in after 45 minutes. In the end he took us back in after one hour and neither he nor the driver seemed to know we had booked for 2 hours and there was no drinks.
this was very fun and it was very pretty to see the nile at sunset. The boat was not wind powered and was not a traditional felucca (it had a motor), but that didn’t really matter because it was still fun. The guide texted us the day before to get our food order, and the food was pretty good! There is no guide on the boat ride, it is just a driver driving us around in the Nile in the boat, who didn’t speak to us and I’m not sure if he knew English. Very fun and definitely recommended regardless! They got really cold though, so bring a jacket depending on what time of year!
