The standard experience lasts about 60 minutes from boarding to return; allow extra time for transfers.
Operators often provide wheelchair-accessible transport, but boarding the small felucca can require assistance—notify the provider in advance.

Tipping is customary for personable service; small local-currency notes are appreciated.
