Great experience

King Mina was a great guide, he knows a lot about the Egyptian culture, so you can ask him whatever you want. Everything was well organized, food was great, the rooms were clean. I will recommend this!

Incredible experience! The temples on the banks of the Nile are beautiful and very well preserved. The cruise ship is a spectacle, clean, organized, polite and attentive staff. Our guide Klaled was extremely friendly and attentive in explaining a lot to us about Egyptian history.

Trip of a lifetime!

5 star service from start to finish! One of the best trips I have ever been on. Our guide "King" Mina, was outstanding in every facet of his role and I highly recommend his services. We will definitely do this tour again...

Nile River cruise

I really enjoyed my trip down the nile, it was extremly warm but thats what i expected. The tours were reallt intresting, and different to anything i had ever done before. I thought it was a very fair price, as the food and facilities were of very high quality. As well as being provided transportation before, during and after the cruise. I wish that the cruise was one day longer, however we started a day later. The staff were lovely and extremly welcoming, and looked after us well. Our tour guide was extremley knowledgble and passionate which made it more interesting.
