don’t book this nile cruise

We had a terrible cruise ! Still confused how it’s a 5 stars one !! : Huge lack of organization, cheap and old cruise boat engine broke the second day of the trip, clogged bathtub, burnt smell in our room. and on the top of that, some guides were more interested in finding ways to push us to buy things from their local business partners and giving them tips, rather than explaining to us the Egyptian history ! Save your money, don’t book this cruise.

Great visits but the food poisoning almost ruined the experience

Bishoy was an exceptional guide during this cruise, he explained everything with humor and passion and he answered all of our questions with enthusiasm, even the ones not directly related to the temples we visited. He was very clear and made all the visits very smooth and interesting by giving us fun facts and elements of history. The crew on board was kind and polite, and our room was nice. However, the reason why I give 3 stars instead of 5 is the food. I got food poisoning on the third day (and I managed to recover thanks to the medicine brought by Bishoy) and my boyfriend also got sick because of the food. At least 6 out ouf the 9 people of our group got sick due to the food.

Egypt trip essential

Awesome tour. A Nile cruise is an essential for a trip to Egypt. You get to see so much without having to organize any transportation. Our tour guide khaled was great.

Excellent choice for a memorable and budget-minded Nile River cruise.

The tour was once in a lifetime and the tour operator offered excellent choices. The guide was well prepared, the boat was modern and excellent value for the money. When difficulties came up during the journey the tour administrators followed through with their obligations to provide all the sites exactly as promised.

Superb cruise that I recommend!

Superb cruise with a good mix of visits and moments of relaxation. Our guide is an enthusiast who knows how to share his love of ancient history. He also knew how to maintain good group dynamics. The food on the boat is also of good quality. The only downside: it’s a shame that the hot air balloon trip takes place after sunrise.

An amazing experience!!!!!!!

That was an amazing experience. The 4 Days Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor, including Abu Simbel and a Hot Air Balloon ride, was an unforgettable trip. We have a small problem with our ship at the beginning but we were upgraded to a better ship! Great customer service, The Nile Cruise itself was luxurious and comfortable, with excellent service , delicious cuisine and entertainment at night. Every aspect of the trip well organized, very knowledgeable guides, It's a must-visit experience for anyone seeking a wonderful exploration of Egypt's ancient treasures. I’ll recommend to everyone!!
