This tour was written to include a hotel pick up, Felucca ride on the Nile with lunch, then Cairo tower visit and hotel drops off in 4 hours.

We, however, had a hotel pick up then a 1 hour Felucca ride with lunch. All was going as expected until we went to the Cairo tower. The tour company would not let us visit and go up the Cairo tower. I knew that admission tickets were not included with this tour, but I had verified with them ahead of time that I can purchase them during this tour when we arrived there.

Once we arrived at Cairo tower, the tour guide took a picture of us in front of the Cairo tower and then asked us to go back in the car. I asked that I wanted to purchase a ticket and go up the tower but she said that i have to pay an additional $10/hour to keep the car waiting for us. This is FALSE advertising!

When I reached out to the tour company, they did nothing to rectify the situation.

I was dropped off back at my hotel and then I took an uber to the Cairo tower from my Hotel so that my family can purchase the tickets and go up the tower.

This whole tour lasted for only 2 hours. We were picked up at noon and were back in our hotel before 2pm.

This company has false advertising that we can see "panoramic view" of Cairo on this tour but they don't allow us to go up the Cairo tower. Not sure how you can see a panoramic view of Cairo from the ground.

Very bad experience due to false advertising and poor customer service from the tour company (Emo tours Egypt) and would not recommend this tour to anyone who wants to do both Felucca ride and Cairo tower tour.

We were picked up at the appropriate time and place. We were given 30 minutes at the Cairo Tower. We were on the boat for about 1 hour. The description of the trip was 1 hour at the tower and 3 hours on the boat for a total of 4 hours. Our total tour was 2 hours. Our guide was very personable and we enjoyed his company but ultimately, we felt like we were short changed.

Nice little ride on the Nile. You don’t go very far. Lunch was an Egyptian fast food which was fun to try. Old ship was fun to ride on.

My ride arrived late which was okay I didn’t mind. One the driver did arrive the car was full of smoke. Which kinda was the first sign. When we arrive the guide went and asked the gentleman could we am assuming could we rent the boat. Since they weren’t expecting us. They had spoken to the boat company prior to us walking up. He explained to her no. She then got upset and tried to take me to Cairo tower and lunch. I explained my view from hotel has a great view of the tower. And no thank you. I explained I was ready to leave since she could deliver what I booked and payed for.

However I do understand the return policy. But under these circumstances. I should be able to receive my refund. Being that service could be delivered. I call TripAdvisor and they couldn’t help nor refund my money since this happened on the date of service. I will be calling my bank and never book with this company again.

The experience was marked by some excessive wating times, for the car and for the boat.

We didn't went on the faluca because of weather conditions (no wind), so we took the boat ride on a motor boat, but because it was just the two of us, it was very pleasent ride.

We skipped the Cairo Tower visit because we've been there the day before.

We were picked up on time and taken straight to the dock the boat ride was great we were told we would have food which we did we had to eat it In the car and rush as we had to get out to view the tower it stated we would have sandwich fries and a drink we just received a wrap I just ate the last mouthful and was rushed out of the car told to pay for masks which no one was wearing In the tower we had no history or explanation of anything the trip was also advertised as 4 hours we were picked up at 12 back at the hotel at 13:57 felt rushed and would not recommend I will say our driver and they young lady that took us was polite though but would spend money on another one of these trips
