Visits to temples and contact with people’s experiences

It was a good experience, it was an excellent opportunity to get in touch with the Egyptian culture and the friendly people of the crew and staff. Our guide Khaled was always attentive and always available.

Cruise on the Nile

Normal ship, nothing ultra luxurious but considering the little time you spend on it is more than fine! The staff of the ship is very polite, helpful and always smiling! My guide has been Khaled and speaks only English

Great experience along the Nile

The overall experience was great. Services on the boat and excursions were well organized and made this experience very smooth. Negative part is the global pace of the journey. You must wake up between 3am and 4am everyday and run all day long to achieve the several temples and activities. We did not have much time to enjoy every site. We would have preferred less activities with more time to enjoy. Congratulations to our Guide “George” that made this trip even more interesting, we had a very good and funny time with him!

Have a nice cruise

Great cruise! Very strong pace but allows you to see everything you need to see and do over 4 days. The boat is very beautiful and well maintained. The staff is friendly and welcoming. Special mention to our guide “King Mina” who was very attentive to all our requests, always ready to help us. He has a very positive attitude and brings pep to everything he says. Passionate guide who loves to transmit. I recommend. My friend and I had a great time.
