It was the best time. They were all great really enjoyed egypt and guide Reda was very knowledgeable and great at explaining. Very patient, as we asked several questions and very open to everything we did not understand as he explained step by step. My experiences were amazing. I did not expect it to be so remarkable, as our guides made it. There are no words that can explain my experience as I leave wanting to see more of this wonderful land, culture and people. Thank you so much to all of you.

I specifically booked the tour at 5pm to see the sunset on the Nile. The tour guide was in the hotel at the right time but there some issue with the police or hotel security that meant we didn't leave until around 25 mins later. They said this is normal and part of the process but if that's the case then come 25 mins early.

We missed the sunset and just saw some of the colours left in the sky. So, wasn't really worth it. My mother nearly fell over and could have had a serious accident because the docking area for the boat is not safe, the boat was not docked correctly when getting off and the area you step onto was a few wobbly planks of wood that were not secure, luckily someone was standing near and rushed to help prevent her from falling in the water or hurting herself badly.

The driver and guide were friendly but the tour was lost by missing the sunset. Also, we were asked many times " have you seen this have you seen that" as they were just interested to get us to book more tours.

Cairo is a great place, I hope this info lets the tour company improve so people can see it properly.

Didn’t really go anywhere. Got towed out by a motor boat with fumes coming back on us and then floated about for a short while and went nowhere. Not sure what the point of it was really. Even had to tip the owner. I think a proper motor boat would be better. Nice guide though.

Myself, my daughter (from UK) & our Egyptian friend really had the best time on our private sunset 1 hour felucca tour on the Nile with Fero.
He picked us up on time from our hotel and was very welcoming & engaging.
The felucca sail experience was just so much fun.. we laughed all the time with Fero 😂 He is a fun guy and a very HONEST, good guide who deserves all the credit he receives 👍
The sail on the nile was so relaxing (just what we needed after visiting the chaos of Khan el-khalili 😂)
The car journey back to our hotel was so much fun. Fero is also a musician and sang to us.. we love you Fero. You really made our experience so very enjoyable 🤟😂

Our guide Angie was very nice, but we weren’t given any information as we drove to the boat or on the boat. She answered questions we had, but didn’t provide any information unprompted.

The description of this tour says “lunch” is given - we didn’t get any food or beverages. There was no mention of it either.

We had a good time. Was nice to switch it up and do a boat ride! Our tour representative was waiting for us at the hotel (Ritz Carlton) we stayed at and was very nice! Marwan and our representative were great hosts. The car they picked us up in was very clean and they also provided water!

Great conversation and just a fun hour ride!

We did have some trouble with the actual boat operator who was not friendly after the ride. Miscommunication regarding tip. He didn’t think I was going to tip but just tried to explain I just needed to break a $50. This is even after he had already received a tip from the tour representative and my friend who I was with!

Tonsi is your guy for tours!! He organized our activities while in Egypt and I couldn’t be happier. Felucca ride, Pyramids, camels, atvs, desert lunches with live music, resort at the Red Sea, dinners, souvenirs and Covid testing. Tonsi is a one stop shop and your guy if you are considering this your company. You will not be disappointed!
