It was very nice to be on a Felukel boat! The weather wasn't good for sailing unfortunately so we got draged along by a little motor boad which was still nice. Our guides Mohammad and Mahmoud were really nice and friendly.

It was a nice tour. The guide explained to us the stops in a nice and relaxed way. The tour is planned for 2 hours but this is dependent on the wind. We had some wind and this is why the tour only took 1.5 hours

Private Felukka trip. Everything was perfect, from the booking to the contact with the provider to the excursion. It was a wonderful trip. The guides picked us up on time and took us to the felucca. We booked a private tour, which actually included various stops. As one person was restricted due to pain, this was not possible for us. We were therefore very pleased that we were able to go on an individual tour, so it was a nice trip for all of us. The sailor has impressive sailing skills and got us safely across the river in every situation. The guides were very helpful and eager to help. On the way, they told us a lot about the history and current sights, they have excellent knowledge and explained everything clearly and individually. Many thanks for the great tour!
