Great experience
We had a great Felucca boat ride on the Nile river. Moataz was our guide, he was friendly and had two great helpers on the boat.

Relaxing, peaceful felucca ride.
A beautifully relaxed, peaceful ride up and down the Nile. The traditional felucca, is far more relaxing than a motor boat. The guide was informative, but let us just relax and enjoy the moment.

Great host
Moataz was really great, really friendly and answered any questions we had. After the tour he even took us to the local market and showed us around and had us try some local dishes!

Our guide on the day was...
Our guide on the day was very helpful but the tour operator had not communicated any details to the guide. The tour is advertised with pick up and drop off to the hotel and despite having checked that our hotel location was eligible for pick up, the tour guide was not informed about pick up. We had to explain this to him and sort it out. Make sure you confirm with the tour guide - especially if you are staying at Kato Dool resort which is quite remote. Bottled water was not given to us on the ride, despite being included in the description - another thing that was not communicated to the tour guide. After we told him, he did get us water once we got off the boat. The price for 1 hour ride is quite high for what it is. There is no music on the boat so it can get boring. Also we did not stay on the boat till sunset. The ride finished about 30/40 mins before sunset.
