June 30, 2026Zarezerwowaliśmy tę wycieczkę i była to najlepsza część naszego pobytu w Egipcie. Nasz przewodnik mówił doskonale po angielsku i opowiadał historię przystępnie. Samochód był czysty, klimatyzowany i wygodny nawet na dłuższych odcinkach. Zarezerwowałbym ponownie bez wahania.

June 29, 2026Ich war allein unterwegs bei diesem Ausflug und habe mich nie fehl am Platz gefühlt. Die Zeiten waren so geplant, dass wir vor den großen Gruppen an den Sehenswürdigkeiten waren. Für diesen Preis war das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis hervorragend. Sehr empfehlenswert, besonders wenn man wenig Zeit in Ägypten hat.

June 21, 2026We compared a few operators before choosing the Private Felucca Ride on the Nile in Cairo and have no regrets at all. For what we paid, the value was outstanding compared with other tours we looked at. Pick-up was on time to the minute and the driver was careful and calm in traffic. If you are weighing this one up, just book it.

June 13, 2026Ta wycieczka łatwo się rezerwuje, a na miejscu było jeszcze lepiej niż w opisie. Nasz przewodnik mówił doskonale po angielsku i opowiadał historię przystępnie. Odbiór był punktualny co do minuty, a kierowca jechał spokojnie i bezpiecznie. Bardzo polecam, zwłaszcza jeśli macie mało czasu w Egipcie.

May 30, 2026Ik deed deze excursie alleen en voelde me nergens misplaatst. Voor deze prijs is de kwaliteit uitstekend. De bus was schoon, goed gekoeld en comfortabel, ook op de langere ritten. Van begin tot eind goed georganiseerd.

May 24, 2026I did the Private Felucca Ride on the Nile in Cairo with my wife and we are both really glad we picked this one. For what we paid, the value was outstanding compared with other tours we looked at. Our guide spoke excellent English and explained the history without overloading us. A day we will be talking about for a long time.

April 26, 2026The Private Felucca Ride on the Nile in Cairo was easy to book and even better in person than it looked online. Lunch was generous, freshly prepared, and they handled our dietary requests without any fuss. Our guide spoke excellent English and explained the history without overloading us. Easily one of the best days of our holiday.

April 20, 2026Tento výlet se snadno rezervuje a na místě to bylo ještě lepší než v popisu. Oběd byl vydatný, čerstvě připravený a naše přání vyřešili bez problémů. Krajina i chrámy působí ještě silněji než na fotkách. Bez váhání bych to rezervoval znovu.

March 31, 2026Nous avons comparé plusieurs agences avant de choisir cette excursion et nous ne le regrettons pas. Les horaires étaient pensés pour arriver sur les sites avant les groupes. Pour ce prix, le rapport qualité-prix est excellent. Vivement recommandé, surtout si vous avez peu de temps en Égypte.

March 28, 2026Dieser Ausflug war einfach zu buchen und vor Ort noch besser als online beschrieben. Die Abholung war pünktlich auf die Minute und der Fahrer fuhr ruhig und sicher. Unser Guide sprach sehr gut Englisch und erklärte die Geschichte verständlich und ohne Überfrachtung. Einer der schönsten Tage unseres Urlaubs.

March 6, 2026Ik deed deze excursie samen met mijn vrouw en we zijn er allebei erg blij mee. De lunch was ruim, vers bereid en met onze wensen werd zonder problemen rekening gehouden. Het hele team was hartelijk en attent, zonder enige verkoopdruk. Dank aan het hele team voor de goede zorgen.

February 16, 2026We booked the Private Felucca Ride on the Nile in Cairo and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip to Egypt. The sites themselves were even more impressive than the photos suggest. Pick-up was on time to the minute and the driver was careful and calm in traffic. If you are weighing this one up, just book it.
Sanne Doornbos
February 5, 2026Deze excursie was eenvoudig te boeken en in het echt nog beter dan de beschrijving. De lunch was ruim, vers bereid en met onze wensen werd zonder problemen rekening gehouden. De tijden waren zo gepland dat we vóór de grote groepen bij de sites waren. Een van de mooiste dagen van onze vakantie.

January 22, 2026Hice esta excursión con mi mujer y los dos estamos encantados con la elección. La recogida fue puntual y el conductor condujo con calma y seguridad. Los horarios estaban pensados para llegar a los monumentos antes que los grupos. Un día del que hablaremos mucho tiempo.
Alejandro Vidal
December 12, 2025Esta excursión fue fácil de reservar y en persona resultó incluso mejor que en la descripción. Por lo que pagamos, la relación calidad-precio es excelente. El vehículo estaba limpio, con aire acondicionado y cómodo incluso en los tramos largos. Un día del que hablaremos mucho tiempo.

November 21, 2025Unsere Familie hat diesen Ausflug gemacht und sogar die Kinder waren die ganze Zeit begeistert. Die Zeiten waren so geplant, dass wir vor den großen Gruppen an den Sehenswürdigkeiten waren. Für diesen Preis war das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis hervorragend. Ein Tag, von dem wir noch lange erzählen werden.
Marion Ziegler
October 16, 2025Notre famille a participé à cette excursion et même les enfants sont restés captivés. Pour ce prix, le rapport qualité-prix est excellent. Notre guide parlait un très bon anglais et expliquait l'histoire sans nous noyer de détails. Vivement recommandé, surtout si vous avez peu de temps en Égypte.
