Frustrating - fraudulent company
Fraud company - the description does not match what they offer. We were not offered felucca ride instead they came with motor boat. No English guide and they were late. We refused to take the service - they did not refund - even viator did not help (still waiting for the refund). Very unreliable - we feel cheated. The amount of money quoted on viator is 4 times the local price

Great tour!
Very nice trip. I strongly reccommend it! The guide Abdul was very friendly, knowleadgeable and willing to help. Cruise on the Nile is very relaxing. If there is no wind, a great motor boat is ready to pick up. Enjoy some tea also on the way. Banana island is a small, but interesting place to visit and eat many bananas. Don't miss this tour. You will enjoy it. Everything is included in the price, except for tips if you like.

Very nice
A lot of fun down the river, beautiful views. If wind is not good then they will take you in a motor boat and not a felucca (unfortunately this happened to us). So ask before hand for them to let you know in case you want to reschedule. Really recommend!! I have to say though that I don’t recommend going to Banana Island (this has nothing to do with the Felucca company). The reason being is because animals (monkeys and crocodiles) are kept in small cages with no food and water (that we could see) which was very cruel. Otherwise the boat ride was awesome!

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Luxor: Felucca Ride on the Nile: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Luxor: Felucca Ride on the Nile cost?
+
Prices start at $17 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Luxor: Felucca Ride on the Nile take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.
Is Luxor: Felucca Ride on the Nile worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Luxor: Felucca Ride on the Nile?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Luxor: Felucca Ride on the Nile suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Luxor: Felucca Ride on the Nile?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Luxor: Felucca Ride on the Nile start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Luxor?
+
On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Full Day Tour of Luxor private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Luxor?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Luxor?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Luxor: Felucca Ride on the Nile?
+
Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Bottled water; 1-hour Felluca ride; Tour Guide; and Transfers in an air-conditioned vehicle. Not included: Any extras not mentioned in the itinerary; tipping; and Any Private Expenses. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Luxor: Felucca Ride on the Nile include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 59 listed pickup locations in and around Luxor. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Luxor: Felucca Ride on the Nile offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
