    The Felucca Sailtrek was a great experience and I recommend it to anyone looking to see as many of the major sights as they can. The itinerary is packed, but it includes a "greatest hits" of highlights, and the services of a professional driver and guide to help you travel the long distances and then get the most out of your visits to each place. For logistics alone, you can't beat the offer. We had Mostafa as our Cairo guide, and he was great! It's definitely a bit of a marathon tour, but you can opt out of certain activities if you need a break, and also the tour is paced so that the lazy days on the felucca are in the middle. All staff I interacted with were excellent in offering whatever help I needed, and I appreciate that. Will definitely travel with TravelTalk again for travels that need a group tour!

    This was my first group tour, and it was everything I hoped it would be! My tour guides Mostafa and Ramy were excellent. We were able to see so much in a short amount of time. If you want to see the best of Egypt for a great price, this is the tour to do!

    This tour was a once in a lifetime, unforgettable experience. It was the perfect balance of history, culture, adventure, rest and relaxation. The felucca was a particular highlight. I would have like to have spent more time at Karnak Temple. Mostafa was very knowledgable and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

    We had an amazing couple of weeks in Egypt. The tour was well organized and helped us see as much as possible in a short time. Lots of early mornings and long bus rides, so as long as you’re prepared for that you will have a great time. It really is the best way to make the most of your trip and see a lot of different things. Mo was a fantastic tour guide. He is so passionate about what he does and full of interesting information. One of the reasons our trip was so amazing is because of him and we cannot thank him enough! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a Travel Talk tour to anyone, and would definitely highly recommend Mo as a tour guide. We always felt safe and enjoyed all there was to see in a country with such incredible history. We learned a lot from Mo and will never forget the experience!

    The tour was planned very well and made for a very smooth trip with little to worry about. Everything was planned for us and organized so we really could take in what was happening around us. Mo was a fantastic guide. He was passionate about the country and its history. He was so knowledgeable about Egypt, it's past and present and was able to answer any questions were threw at him. Most of all, Mo was friendly and easy to talk to. He felt more like another fellow traveler we were meeting and not just a tour guide. It was so great to have someone who was easygoing, knowledgeable and friendly on our tour!

    The tour was great as we got to see many things. The only complaint I have is that the day to day planned excursions were not included in the booking price and had to pay separately when I arrived on the trip which was annoying as I would have preferred to have known about the additional money beforehand and budget accordingly. Hassan was a great guide for the first half of this trip. Very knowledgeable and funny. Mahmoud was also a great tour guide for our second half of the trip in Dahab.

What our customers ask about this tour

    The content in our FAQ section is subject to change.
    • Is there any extra charge for a solo traveller?

      There is no mandatory single supplement for solo travellers, so if you like, you may be paired with another solo traveller of the same gender. Otherwise you will be charged with the single supplement if you wish to have your own room.

    • I'm curious about why some departure dates don't have a local payment.

      One departure date is without local payment each month as a part of a promotion for that certain departure date which is also always their most popular one. The tour itself is the same.

    • Do Canadians need a Visa to go to a Felucca Sailtrek?

      Unfortunately we are unable to give visa advice due to the vast number of nationalities which our customers represent. Some nationalities can travel freely over borders, where others require advance permission to enter. There are also changes in requirements from time to time. We recommend checking your local embassy or consulate's website for the latest up to date information.

    • I would like to know the hotels names if possible.
