Africa Local boat rides Tour Reviews
Genuine reviews from travelers on Local boat rides Africa tours
Aoife Keehan | Traveled in November
Seif was absolutely great! We had a great chat on the walk from the hotel to the pier. The lads on the boat were such a laugh. We enjoyed it so so much. Thanks to everyone!
Anonymous | Traveled in May
The actual itinerary was great; however, my trip added extra stops that weren't on the itinerary. Personally, I would have preferred a say in this as I would have opted out. There were far too many stops presurring us to purchase a variety of items, while that precious time would have been better spent at the actual historical sites. Splendors of Egypt isn't about shopping!
Monica Brown | Traveled in July
Overall, the trip was just fine. If you are not a fan of those small boats that sway from side to side, do not take this tour. The tour guide was fantastic. The tortoises were amazing (worth a little discomfort on the boat), and the boat driver was great. I've done it and would not do it agin if in Zanzibar.
Alison W. | Traveled in May
Lots of "stops" not included in the itinerary. High pressured sales at these stops. Shortened time at historic sights to try and sell us stuff. Forced tipping in Egypt when tips were to be included. Several sights were had very limited time. This is why people go to Egypt! Taking away time at sights to stop at a linen shop trying to force me to purchase incredibly overpriced stuff I don't want is not acceptable. This scenario played out MOST days. Constant Forced sakes, even on a falucca ride. Do better Insight.
