Unforgettable cruise on the Nile: extraordinary experience among breathtaking landscapes and ancient culture!
Nile cruise is an unmissable experience in life. The ship was splendid and the staff were always helpful and kind. The landscapes are breathtaking and the navigation very relaxing.
Journey to Egypt organized the tour down to the smallest detail, offering the best of the itinerary in just three days. The temples visited were stupendous and the tour well structured, with relaxing breaks and visits to typical artisan factories.
Luxor is a beautiful city, especially the local market.
The guide, John, was exceptional: knowledgeable and passionate, with attention to detail. The felucca ride in Aswan was also beautiful.
I must also say that, contrary to what one might think at this particular moment, we have always felt safe and Egypt is a reality far from any existing conflict.
Super recommended!

Nile River Cruise
The Tour guide JOHN was excellent, explaining everything and answering all questions with knowledge. Egypt right now appears to be quite safe to travel.
We were lucky enough to be upgraded on our tour boat from 5 star to 5 star plus and the vessel MS BLUESHADOW 1 was very comfortable and meals very good but we had problems staying connected to their internet even though we had paid the top rate.

Very successful, enjoyable and fulfilling time for our visit to Lower Egypt
The cruise was a pleasure - the boat Blue Shadow 1 was 5 star and the MD of Journey to Egypt had upgraded us from a 4 star to 5 star. The excellent staff, facilities and food were of excellent standard. It might have been a bonus to have access to a general area for teas and coffee making facilities and easier internet access.
I was more significantly impressed by our tour guide from Journey to Egypt - John - whose extensive knowledge of Egypt was as a result of his degree in Egyptology. He was able and keen to answer quite extensive questions beyond the information 0provided and significantly more than one might expect about the time available and the tours of the Temples and Tombs we visited. Further , John made arrangement of transport and the access to sites absolutely seamless . He made sure we arrived at sites early and arranged the tours so that we had the least crowds possible to view the sites. His reminder that even 5 minutes at the early part of the day could make a big difference which we came to realise really could make a difference to the numbers of other people attending g the sites. He went further by assisting us to arrange tours & transport for additional family after the tours we had arranged. A very highly expert tour guide! Thank you John for making this tour and cruise so successful and such a pleasure.

Luxor to Aswan cruise with guide Mena
Our experience with Mena was truly memorable. What set him apart from others was definitely his extremely thoughtful personality. From the water and chips he carried for us the morning he met us, down to organising medicines when I needed them and finally to even making sure we reached our eventual destination after the cruise - no effort was too much and every detail was looked into. His knowledge of the various sites we visited was great and he was able and willing to answer the multitude of questions we kept throwing his way. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him as an extremely trusted guide and support in Egypt.

Amazing nile cruise experience with Mena and Journey to Egypt Travel
My wife and I had the most incredible Nile Cruise experience with Journey to Egypt Travel. Mena was our tour guide and we can honestly say he was the best guide for that we’ve had on any trip. We missed our arrival flight but he managed to rearrange the itinerary to make sure we didn’t miss anything. He went the extra mile to make sure we had all the required information and accommodated any special requests we had. We would highly recommend Mena and Journey to Egypt travel for anyone interesting in touring the Nile, which was truly a trip of our lifetime.

Egypt February 2024
Recently visited Egypt at the end of February and had a great time. We toured with Journey to Egypt for part of the trip and everything was run smoothly and taken care for us. Our guide, Mena, was very informative and helpful in all aspects of the journey.

Perfect Nile River itinerary and amazing guide!
We have been very lucky to travel to a few countries from the US and the 3 Night Aswan to Luxor Nile Cruise with Journey to Egypt was one of the best trips we have ever taken. It was a wonderful combination of once in a lifetime sightseeing combined with peaceful relaxation, and the best tour guide (John) we have ever had!
Safety: We did a lot of research prior to going and honestly, we found that all concerns over visiting Egypt are from a lack of information and an over generalization of the country’s geographical location. Egypt is a peaceful country and we felt very safe the entire time, even safer than we have in some large European cities. And once you’re on the cruise from Aswan to Luxor, it’s countryside-like sailing with beautiful scenery.
Journey to Egypt/Guide: Before choosing our tour company, I combed through hundreds and hundreds of reviews, and one thing that stood out about Journey to Egypt was that it had positive reviews AND unlike other companies - 100% of people said they’d recommend them to a friend. I can absolutely see why. John, our guide, was honestly the best guide we’ve ever had. He has the perfect style and personality for a tour guide - plenty of information, but not too much talking and every detail of the trip perfectly executed. I won’t give away all his secrets, but he thinks of everything small and large, and we are so grateful we had him. He has set a new bar for our expectations!
Boat: Our boat (M/S A Sara) was excellent. The vessel had nice finishes and everything was very clean. We consistently saw people cleaning and polishing during our stay, as well. The beds were comfortable and the shower had more pressure than the Airbnb we stayed at before arriving! The food was served buffet style and had many good options at every meal. The staff were really friendly and attentive, too. I appreciated that the policy is to tip at the end of the cruise, so you never felt pressured to be tipping, which is helpful in Egyptian culture where tips are highly sought after.
I’m not sure if we’ve ever had a trip go so perfectly. It was amazing and I would highly recommend it.

Perfect trip of a lifetime
Fantastic experience from start to finish and beyond with Journey to Egypt, traveling with three children under 7. They were responsive and helpful with pre-booking enquiries, great contact during the trip itself and then following up on outstanding items afterwards. Our tour guide, Mena, was knowledgeable, friendly and gave great advice and tips as well as history and background. He took into account our group composition and needs at all times. We felt 100% safe and encountered no problems traveling in Egypt. We chose Journey to Egypt after a friends recommendation and have not hesitated to recommend them after our own trip of a lifetime.
