The trip was very nice !...
The trip was very nice ! The owner came and get us earlier so we can see the sunset ! The workers on the boat were very nice, they served drinks, helped us to take photos and explained a few things around.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! ❤️ We’re truly happy to hear that you enjoyed the trip and especially the beautiful sunset. It was our pleasure to pick you up a little earlier so you could enjoy that special moment. We’re also glad that our boat team made you feel comfortable, helped with photos, served drinks, and shared some information along the way. Thank you for choosing us and for your kind words. We hope to welcome you again in Egypt for another beautiful experience! 🇪🇬☀️

Though both employees...
Though both employees were very kind, this activity was not satisfactory. It was certainly not as expected. It did not include any information about the tour, there were no snacks, and for much of the tour we just sat floating. Though it was not their fault that it was not windy enough to sail, the experience on the motor boat was quite disappointing.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. We’re pleased to know that you found both of our employees very kind and helpful. Regarding the sailing conditions, unfortunately, the lack of wind was something completely beyond our control. Our team did inform you that there was not enough wind to sail, and you were given the option to continue using the motorboat instead, which you chose. We completely understand that this may have changed the experience you were expecting, and we’re sorry that the motorboat option did not provide the enjoyable experience you had hoped for. We also appreciate your comments regarding the tour information and snacks. We will take this feedback seriously and review these aspects with our team to improve the experience for future guests. Thank you again for your understanding and for helping us improve our service. 🙏

Nice but little bit upset
The view was fabulous, the experience was bice as well. But the thing is, the price is much higher than the scene (normally 400 pound per person), and only little money goes to the staff and boatman. Can you imagine they only got paid 5% of the total fee?Please treat your people well for good🙏🏻.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for sharing your feedback and for appreciating the view and the overall experience. We truly value your concern for our team. Please be assured that we work with licensed boats and follow fixed operating costs, including permits, maintenance, safety measures, and organization. Our staff and boatmen are paid according to agreed contracts, and we always aim to treat our team with respect and fairness. Your comments are important to us, and we will take them into consideration as we continue to improve our services. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

Sunset trip on The Nile
We had a great trip (from the west bank of Luxor) on The Nile as the sun was setting. The owner of the lovely boat offered us tea - a super relaxing way to spend an hour. The pick up from our hotel and return was also very good.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words 🌅 We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the sunset trip on the Nile from the West Bank of Luxor. It’s great to know the boat, the relaxing atmosphere, and the tea made the experience special for you. We’re also glad the hotel pick-up and drop-off went smoothly. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we truly hope to welcome you again for another memorable experience on the Nile 🙏✨

Private Tour Sail on the Nile Luxor Felucca Ride: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does Private Tour Sail on the Nile Luxor Felucca Ride cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Private Tour Sail on the Nile Luxor Felucca Ride take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 Private Tour Sail on the Nile Luxor Felucca Ride worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 30 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 Private Tour Sail on the Nile Luxor Felucca Ride?
+
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 Private Tour Sail on the Nile Luxor Felucca Ride suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Tour Sail on the Nile Luxor Felucca Ride?
+
Around 11 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tour Sail on the Nile Luxor Felucca Ride 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 Tour to West bank, Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, 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 Private Tour Sail on the Nile Luxor Felucca Ride?
+

Does Private Tour Sail on the Nile Luxor Felucca Ride include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 152 listed pickup locations in and around Luxor. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Tour Sail on the Nile Luxor Felucca Ride 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.
