Out of this World! ¡Fuera de este mundo!

Where to start? Heba, our tour coordinator is a miracle worker. In times of Covid, your worked out, logistically created plans can change last minute. Heba helped us find flights, hotel and transport in one of these last minute changes. She is very communicative and professional! Our tour guide, Mohamed Elkhady was AMAZING! He is a fun, knowledgeable tour guide which made our trip very special and engaging. The sights the cruise offers were must sees while in Egypt. We were hestitant about spending 4 days on a cruise but it was the best decision we made as we didn't have to worry about hotels, transport, lines for tickets, etc... My advice, book THIS tour now with Egypt Gift Tours. They will take care of you. Also, if you have a chance to do the hot air balloon ride, do it! You will not regret it. ¿Donde empezar? Heba, nuestra coordinadora de viajes es una creadora de milagros. En tiempos de Covid, la planificación que uno hace para los viajes pueden cambiar en el último minuto. Heba nos ayudó a encontrar vuelos, hotel y transporte en uno de estos cambios de última hora. ¡Es muy comunicativa y profesional! ¡Nuestro guía turístico, Mohamed Elkhady fue INCREÍBLE! Es un guía turístico divertido y experto en la materia, cual hizo que nuestro viaje fuera uno muy especial y de mucho aprender. Las vistas que ofrece el crucero eran imperdibles en Egipto. Estábamos indecisos sobre pasar 4 días en un crucero, pero fue la mejor decisión que tomamos ya que no tuvimos que preocuparnos por hoteles, transporte, líneas para boletos, etc. Mi consejo es, reserve ESTE tour ahora con Egypt Gift Tours . Ellos se encargarán de todo. Además, si tienes la oportunidad de hacer el paseo en globo aerostático, ¡hazlo! No te arrepentirás.

We loved the trip. The experience is very nice, above all, highly recommended to go to Abu Simbel. The boat also very well, the food rich. Highlight our guide Antar Mofawy, has been very attentive at all times, very professional, knows all the History of Egypt and its temples to perfection.we have been very comfortable with it and perfectly fluent in Spanish. Recommended 100%.

Excellent Tour

We had an excellent Tour Guide, Mohammad ElKhady, who was very knowledgeable and an overall very nice guy. Went the extra miles despite Ramadan and the searing heat.

Pleasant experience

I actually enjoyed being on the boat. It was very relaxing. Mohammed (our guide) was very good in both organization and guidance. My only complaint is that I would've liked the distance between Aswan and Luxor to be longer, so the trip can take more days :),
