Great guide, okay food.
Our tour guide Hady, with imperial Egypt was amazing. Hady was friendly, and gave great explanations and stories of the history of each of the sites as well as explanations of Egyptian customs and how to be safe .
Food was just okay, not bad, but not amazing!
Staff on the boat was all welcoming and friendly, water and drinks at dinner were a bit overpriced on the boat, but we were able to buy water off the ship in the shops and bring it in with us to have with meals to save money.. it would have been nicer if they would include water with meals on the boat ( I did see in the description, that water was not included... Would have been alot better if it was)

Well-Organized and Insightful Tour with a Fantastic Guide
The tour itinerary was well planned and thoughtfully organized. The cruise staff were exceptionally friendly, and everything was taken care of for us. Each day was filled with activities and sightseeing, making the experience both engaging and seamless.
Our guide, Hady Ahmed, was very knowledgeable. he gave each location detailed historical explanations and with stories. He also went out of his way to help us understand local customs, including tipping practices, which we really appreciated.
It would have been nice to have a bit more free time to explore each site independently. However, we understand that this can be challenging when traveling with a group of around 20 people.
Overall, this tour is highly recommended.

Everything was explained clearly and in a way that kept us engaged the whole time. You can really tell he’s passionate about what he does, and it made the experience even more enjoyable.

Great Cruise & Guide
Hady was an excellent tour guide who made our Imperial Egypt cruise truly memorable with his knowledge, professionalism, and friendly personality. He explained Egypt’s history in an engaging and easy-to-understand way, often repeating key points to make sure everyone was on the same page. The tour is very well organized, with multilingual guides and smaller groups (around 20 people max), which makes the experience more personal and enjoyable, although the food on board could be better—you can easily leave the boat at certain stops to enjoy dinner in the local town centers. I would highly recommend this cruise tour to anyone looking for a well-run and enriching trip.

Would 100% Recommend!
Absolutely impressed by this experience! We started our journey in Aswan and were taken to Philae Temple, Aswan Dam, Abu Simbel by road in spacious AC luxury vehicles. Besides that, we had a really comfortable stay on the cruise with good rooms. The food was decent but lots of variety. The staff were extremely nice.
I would like to make a special mention for our tour guide, Hady. He is an extremely social and knowledgeable person. His memory is impeccable and knows every tiny detail which he does not fail to share with us. Hady always made sure we were taken care of and was extremely accommodating. I highly recommend Hady and this experience.
This cruise made our trip to Egypt extremely relaxing despite the early wake up calls!

Great experience
It was an unforgettable experience. Mohammed abdo , our guide, was fantastic and has a vast knowledge about the ancien Egypt. He explained in details the temples and everywhere we went. So I learnt a lot but also had fun. Our group bond together and this was nice. I am not giving 5 stars because I had an issue with the socket in my cabin. My minibar fridge was not working. The problem was the socket that it was connected. The kept sending the staff but not an electrician. I complained for two days that it was not working and it was not take serious enough. They tried to do things that clear was not working. Until I asked to move the fridge to another part of the cabin. I felt that they didn't take seriously my requested taking in consideration that I explained that I need to keep my insulin inside the fridge.

アスワンからルクソールへのナイルクルーズ🚢
要所が詰まっており、効率良く回れる。それにより、若干忙しいけれども時間が限られている方にはオススメ

Pros y contras de mi experiencia en crucero por el Nilo
Ver todos los templos fue muy agradable y toda la planificación fue a tiempo. La comida era muy buena y las habitaciones estaban limpias.
El único problema que tuvimos fue la continua propina exigente del personal. En nuestra sesión de bienvenida nuestro guía solicitó dinero. $ 30 USD por persona! Dijo que esa es la propina del grupo para todo el crucero. Pero los miembros del personal todavía solicitaron más propinas y una vez que mencioné que ya he pagado la propina, su comportamiento cambió. El guía pidió más dinero al final, que no era agradable en absoluto! Si hay alguna cantidad fija para propina, debe mencionarlo en los detalles de su viaje.
Siguen diciendo que esta es la cultura en Egipto y ustedes deben respetarla. Esta excusa es insultante para los turistas, ya que no son cajeros automáticos. También los turistas ya han pagado por estos servicios, por lo que no deben ser presionados por más dinero. Por otro lado, conocí a muchos otros egipcios a través de mi largo viaje por todo Egipto y esa no es la norma. Puede ser que esa sea la cultura de los que están en la industria turística, pero no representan a todo el país.
No estoy en contra de las propinas, pero sí de presionar a la gente para que saque algo de ellas. ¡Las propinas no son obligatorias! Y no puedes definir una cantidad fija a menos que lo comuniques con tus clientes de antemano. Estoy bastante seguro de que si cambian esta actitud nadie se ofenderá y terminarán atrayendo más turistas a este magnífico país.
