Great experience and package
Incredibly unique experience comparing to other I've done around the world. Itinerary is very complete with the most important attractions. All staff from cruise are very professional and attentive to our needs, always trying to help. We had different guides for each day, and all of them were very unique in their approach, but clearly very knowlegeable, and above all trying their best to make us feel comfortable is overaal very chaotic and sometimes alertive situations. Best part wad that they end up "protecting" us frok tourist harassment, and prepare us with tips on what to do and how yo better behave. Our last guide was Khaled Saadi, and he made sure that we would end up the program in an ease way, shoeing full control over the itinerary he was guiding us.

Crucero maravilloso
Crucero perfecto. Khaled el Saady fue nuestro guía, una persona muy sabia que nos transmitió muchos conocimientos y cuidó de nosotros de principio a fin. Son 4 días intensos porque se visitan muchos templos. Pero te lo dan todo hecho y no te tienes que preocupar de nada. Gracias !!!!

Great experience and extremely value for money
Pickup in Aswan very well co-ordinated from the bus stop buy the guide.
Upon checkin to the cruise the whole trip was very clearly explained. We were given options either to buy the tickets on our own or just pay the total money to the guide (cards allowed) and it was very transparent and no extra charge (I checked the prices separately). Food was decent on the cruise and rooms were very nice also. The guide mr Khaled has good knowledge and he explained us the sites well and gave enough time to take photos. We did the optional nubian village. The tips were very transparent, we just had to pay it in one go and it was very fair in Egypt standards. In the cruise, got daily room service as well and this specific ship (king of thebes) has nice floor to ceiling windows and i can clearly see the nile sitting on my bed.
There is no negative I could think :) and will recommend this this way of seeing things in aswan and luxor. In Cairo I did things on my own, but these areas being more rural, a guided trip really helps if you want to cover most of the famous sites and travel in hassle less manner.
Also there was enough option to vegetarian food (the meat and fish were tasty as well). Also I saw they organized birthday celebrations as well, so if you have some special occasion, may be you can ask the guide who can help this co-ordinate. Also in some places there were issues with ticket scanning but our guide was always there and he dealt with the authorities and got every thing sorted soon.

Upper Egypt With TALAAT ABDO THE EGYPTIAN
Since childhood, Egypt was dwelling in my mind and heart. Ultimately at the age of 63, got a chance to visit Egypt. I was unsure of the kind of guide I would be paired up with before the cruise started. While I booked the cruise Mr. Talaat Abdo was assigned to us as our tour guide for 4 days 3 nights and at the end of the tour today on 6th Feburary 2025 with confidence I can express my gratitude to Talaat for very efficiently handling our tour from Aswan (Philae Temple, Unfinished Obelisk, Aswan High Dam), Abu Simbel Temple complex, Nubian Village, Edfu Temple, Temple of Karnak and Luxor, Valley of Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut and Colossi of Memnon. The way he narrated the mythological stories and the history of Egypt in detail was phenomenal and easy to understand; in a nutshell it was highly enjoyable.
In a short time of 4 days Talaat looked after all the nitty gritties of our tour including transportation, working out of the tour schedule and seamlessly organized the group of the people from India, Mexico, Belgium and the USA.
The way he showed empathy and concern for my wife who underwent a critical spine surgery a few months ago is praise worthy. We would be happy to have Talaat as our tour guide again.

Excelente crucero por el Nilo con la Familia
El crucero por el Nilo fue una experiencia inolvidable con mi mamá y mi hermano, nos tocó en el barco King Tut III, en el cual el servicio fue muy bueno pero el barco está muy viejo y le hace falta mucho mantenimiento. La comida es aceptable, nada de otro mundo. Nuestro guía Talaat fue excelente, sabe mucho sobre toda la cultura egipcia y siempre fue muy amable y estuvo atento de nosotros en todo momento, incluso nos ayudó a comprar un SIM Card para estar bien comunicados. Gracias Talaat por todo!

We had the opportunity of experiencing egypt (Aswan, Abu Simbel, Luxor) with Talaat Abdo. He is a very well informed guide and we learnt the history of the Philae, Edfu, Abu Simbel temples in a concise and clear manner(even with the cruise running on a tight schedule) , he was kind and well mannered. Beautiful experience in the cruise due to our guide.
