Great guide, great ship
We travelled as a family of six and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Talaat Abdo was a wonderful guide - knowledgeable, organized, and fun. While our travels to Aswan from Cairo could have been smoother, once we were in Talaat’s capable hands everything went smoothly. Talaat shared our itinerary with us every evening, coordinated all of our day time activities, guided us through nine historical sites, answered our questions, and played ping pong with our son on the boat in the evening. The boat itself was comfortable and clean, and the staff incredibly efficient and welcoming. The food was great with tons of meat and vegetable options and nice desserts. Recommend flying rather than taking the train with the sleeper car (costs less too).

Itinerary described for...
Itinerary described for this trip was very brief, so I didn't know what would be proceeding ahead of time. Even the guide didn't give us about the whole tour briefing in the beginning. Communication with the activity provider was not easy. Lastly we upgraded the Train to Sleepers with extra us$80/person one way - very disappointing and not clean inside the train.....
I don't recommend train trip to Aswan. I would recommend flight to go to Aswan/Luxor, then start this tour. Flight is much cheaper.

Amazing Fun experience!
The tour was absolutely amazing . We went to all the temples and tombs as listed in the the itinerary. Even though we had to wake up around 3-5 AM for some temples, we had a wonderful time in all of them.
Our tour guide was Bee, he was very knowledgeable and helpful. Gave very helpful tips on bargaining and things to avoid.

Una sorpresa continua
Esperienza meravigliosa!
Consigliata per tutti!!
Ogni visita è stata organizzata con cura e presenza ed ogni volta è stata una sorpresa. La nostra guida Bee è incredibilmente preparata ed ha ogni volta spiegato con cura i particolari di dove eravamo fino a farci in qualche modo tornare indietro nel tempo a vivere l’antico Egitto.
La sua presenza è andata oltre il suo lavoro fino a darci consigli su come comportarci nelle varie realtà locali che ci circondavano.
Senza dubbio un viaggio INDIMENTICABILE.

Buena experiencia
El crucero me gusto mucho. La comida muy rica, un viaje agradable y buena atención, fue una excelente experiencia.
El guía que tuvimos sin embargo no me gustó, durante todos los tours y recorridos nos hacía mención de dejar propina, incluso al chofer de un bus de traslado, siendo que los trayectos están incluidos. Se entiende de que es común dejar propinas, pero por mi parte y el resto del grupo que estuvo con nosotros, sentíamos un poco la "presión" por parte del guía de dejar propina. Lo mismo pasó con un camarógrafo del crucero, que por tomarnos un foto nos
"persiguió" un rato pidiendo propina, creo eso debería hacerse a un pasajero.

Nile cruise with many sightseeings
This tour is amazing but tourist must be aware of the local culture to fully appreciate any activity in Egypt, and mainly to avoid being frustrated and upset.
Last minute changes to the program may occur as well as cancelations. Many temples may be closed by the government and the tour must be adapted. The ballon flight is organised by another company and cancelations are bot uncommon depending of the weather. So, if you are the one who gets frustrated by changes in your plan, consider not coming to Egypt at all.
Also, everyone in Egypt will ask you for tips, being intrusive to provide small services, like opening the tap in public toilets, and expect a tip for that. Prices will always be higher for tourists. Foreigners may feel unease many times, but this is the local culture, so take a deep breath, relax and exercise the patience.
Said that, Egypt is an amazing place and this tour give you the chance to visit many places and still return to a comfortable bed in the end of the day.
The guide, Mustafa, was very helpful and he tries his best to accomodate last minute changes as well as any change you want to do along the way.
The bus trip to Abu Simbel is 4 hours each way and the bus is not very comfortable, so be prepared for that. The train is not very comfortable too, even the first class included in the tour. But it is what is available. We upgraded to the sleeper train on the way back to Cairo which is expensive but worth the price.
Other than that, it is an amazing experience!

Cruise in Egypt
I loved having the chance to see so many different places in one trip. All guides were very friendly and acknowledged. They explain everything and took the time to answer all our questions.

Fantastic. Trip
Great cruise and tour of the beautiful monuments along the Nile. Our guide Talaat Abdo was in incredibly knowledgeable and brilliant guide who has sparked our imagination more than we could have imagined and spurred us on to study more about this incredible place. We highly recommend this cruise.
