We had a lovely boat trip along the Nile, the boat captain also took photos of us. The transport was very smooth and on time, would 100% recommend!

We were late to the pick up due to getting stuck elsewhere, but the driver was very accommodating and waited at the meet up point to ensure we still got the experience. The ride itself was very peaceful, with great views and little disruption. We could have no complaints about the experience.

The Nile River boat ride around the island was very interesting. There wasn’t much wind for a Felucca ride. Sunset made the ride much nicer. Lovely lights once sun set. The captain and driver were friendly and professional. Do not hesitate to consider this activity.
