Recent great trip on the Nile

As an experienced traveller I can confirm Talaat Abdo was a fantastic guide on the GO TOURS EGYPT cruise, Talaat showed us the best there was to see after fully giving us the history of each site. The boat was comfo6and food appetising. I recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see the best of Egypt .make sure you ask for Talaat as your guide .Tim

Fabulous trip on the Nile - highly recommended

Our guide Talaat Abdo picked us up from our hotel and explained everything thoroughly. We then proceeded to visit all the sites as advertised and enjoyed the hospitality of the boat. At each site Talaat used stories, photos and diagrams to explain the visit and all that we should look at on the site. Our group consisted of a wide range of ages from people in their twenties to sixties. There was also diverse nationalities from Europe North America and Australia. At all times Talaat Abdo sought to make everyone comfortable and helped them including someone with a knee injury and someone who lost their jacket as he made an effort to recover it for him. We would recommend this tour with Go Tours Egypt and Talaat Abdo to everyone of all ages and nationalities and would happily do the trip again.

Aswan to Luxor curious

This was great trip, especially our guide Khaled El Saady was professional and his knowledge about Egypt history was excellent. It was fun listening to his guide and want to experience and gratitude towards his great work.

Seeing Abu simbel was breathtaking

The cruise boat was absolutely luxurious and the staff were amazing … trip was well planned .. the tour guide wasn’t very helpful and didn’t have much knowledge to share ..

My trip on a cruise in Egypt, an experience that pushes you out of your comfort zone visiting at sites at day or night

Coming from Uganda,The cruise was a decent experience with nice views, standard food. The activities were expansive and had wide variety. At times visits were early in the morning or late at night in order to keep time and do multiple activities. We had a guide named ‘Khalid El saady’ always trying to keep up time and gave us free time after our group meet up to have time for ourselves aswell-although he was at times difficult to find when moving through large crowds as he did not have a flag stick to identify him. Overall, the cruise had fascinating stops to large sited concerning ancient Egyptian archeology, with stops and visits being consistent yet early. The food was basic however(in the cruise itself)-the rooms were not the biggest, but if your travelling as a small number or are mainly focusing on visiting the outside of the cruise there is no problem, the cruise also offers some entertainement when at leisure on the cruise such as tea time on the balcony with some treats, a party in the bar, and belly dancing if you are interested.. If I were to rate the experience Out of 10, I would rate it a 7/10.
