An unforgettable experience
The trip has been fantastic, we are very happy, we have taken advantage of every minute 🙏🏻 Taking away the scare with the pollution and noise of the engine the first night, everything else has been perfect (for a country with so much poverty). To say that, both the ship’s workers, guides and drivers, and other people who make these cruises possible, are all wonderful ✨ I wish we could help everyone... 😔
I also want to give you my humble opinion regarding the pollution of the River Nile, it is very shocking for us, to see how the waste and fuel from the boats are floating in the river. Egypt is a wonderful country, with wonderful people.

Positive experience
Hossam was amazing guide.
Ship was beautiful, cabins were clean and the food was good also for Italian standard.
Cruise is 1 day and half of navigation, the rest of the time the ship is docked on the river and you visit temples.

Poor Experience!
I would like to leave a review on behalf of my customers, a family of 10, whom we helped with travel arrangements for Egypt.
We booked a cruise through the Viator with the Egypt Knight Tours based on the good rating they have on the net.
The cruise was largely a disappointment. While the food and crew on the boat were decent, the evening entertainment and quality of the rooms were nowhere close to a 5-star Deluxe, which was claimed by the Egypt Knight Tours in the personal correspondence prior to booking the cruise.
Despite confirming to me twice the types of rooms the customers would get, they didn't have the rooms that were initially promised, nor were they on the top deck of the boat.
The most disappointing was the transfer to Hurghada, which the Egypt Knight Tours arranged for an extra charge. It was a completely run down vehicle with AC that barely worked and suspension that was definitely not working and a driver that did not speak any English. My customers had to make the 4 hour drive with suitcases on their laps and the back of one of the travelers hurt so much by the end that he ended up not being able to do anything for the next several days.
As a result of his illness, the family had to cancel the all day tour in Alexandria (booked directly with the Egypt Knights) and they spent countless texts going back and forth with the tour agency asking them to do the right thing and try to get a reimbursement on Alexandria. They refused and instead offered a couple of airport transfers and one shorter half day tour in Cairo. This was less than 25% of the cost of the Alexandria tour but my customers eventually agreed. They asked the Egypt Knight Tours to include an Egyptian dinner which they did but it was so bad that none could really eat anything other than the chicken that was served!
I do not recommend this agency as they fail to keep their promises and provide poor-quality service!

A memorable experience
The cruise was a memorable experience. The ship was clean, well maintained, with spacious cabins and equipped with everything you need. Good and varied food. The Organization was exceptional, Nada from a distance always made sure that everything was fine and the guide Sam followed us with care, precision and punctuality, explaining many fundamental things to understand everything we saw. The organization in a small group made sure that everything could take place on time and being able to follow the guide carefully. We also added some extra experience and everything went perfectly thanks to our guide and Egypt Night Tours.

Lady Mary a great cruise experience from Serenity Cruises.
Lady Mary was the ship allocated. We go one double occupancy cabin and one suite to accomodate us with our daughter in the living room. Service is excellent on board on expectation of good departure tips. The guide service for the various monuments from Magdi was extraordinary. Food at the buffet had a huge variety but was predominantly middle eastern. Loved the desserts specially the variety of Baklavas. They only serve Egyptian alcohol and some South African wine against payment. No other well known international
Spirits are available. New Years eve party was just ok. Belly dancer was great. Ship seemed recently refurbished so was really swanky.

A wonderful trip!
We had a wonderful trip and really enjoyed discovering Egypt through this beautiful cruise. Our guide was very professional and his explanations were interesting and useful. The visits schedule is well designed, allowing to discover the main spots and to enjoy navigating and relaxing on the boat. We appreciate the comfort of the boat and everything was very well managed and organized. We also appreciated the follow-up of Egypt Knight agents, their attention and promptness to answer our questions.

Fantastic Aswan to Luxor nile cruise
Had a fantastic cruise over Christmas . We got the ship Ms Renaissance, which was excellent and very clean and modern. The day trips were very well organised, and entrance fees all came complete in the package. Our guide, Magdy, was very friendly and informative and did whatever he could to give us a very memorable experience.
The only negative was you didn't know what ship you would be on until the day before sailing.

The best guide we could ever have — truly unforgettable experience
We visited Egypt as a couple, and Magdy made our trip incredibly smooth, enjoyable, and memorable. He was always thoughtful, patient, and attentive, and his explanations brought the history of Egypt to life. We felt very lucky to have him as our guide and highly recommend him to anyone.

Amazing experience!
Overall it was awesome. But it was a bit stressful, too much time with the guide and not enough free time in the temples. Don't get me wrong though, our guide Magdy was great, and he taught us a lot of cool stuff. But it would have been better if we had more time to walk around freely. I think an extra night or two, with the same tours would have helped.
Time on the ship was pretty limited too, mostly we were out at tours, but since there isn't too much to do on the boat that's ok. At least we got a few hours by the pool and some time in the bar.
Also we would have appreciated more vegetarian options on the ships buffet.
Anyways it was a great experience and we are very pleased with it. We would recommend this to friends.

An amazing experience..
We were on the M/s Lady Mary Cruise and Our Guide was Magdi.. It was a wonderful experience being on the Ship and throughout... Our Guide was exceptionally good... He made sure the entire trip was well organised, engaging and interesting.
We were explained the history and significance of each monument elaborately and articulately!
The cruise experience was also satisfactory with clean and comfortable cabins, variety of meals and warm and friendly staff.
