Ótima experiência
Tivemos uma ótima experiencia no Nilo com o guia Khaled al saady. Tudo estava muito bem organizado e funcionou como prometido e informado. A piscina era ótima e incrivelmente grande. Os garçons prestativos. Vc paga direto pro garçom ou no checkout. As gorjetas são organizadas previamente também oq torna mais fácil o dia-a-dia. A lojinha do Cruzeiro é boa sem enganação. O roteiro é bastante corrido com alguns pequenos percalços mas nada fora do que estava planejado e os pequenos problemas comuns para o Egito. Em suma foi uma ótima experiência.

Overall 4/5.. hot air balloon and king Mina made the trip amazing!
Our guide Mina was amazing! Mina told us that he has 22 years of experience and is currently getting his PHD in all things Egypt. Very knowledgeable and thorough. He made sure no one was ever left behind and knew the answer to any question asked. He made sure we knew where to buy things and where not to, in order for us to get our moneys worth.
The boat its self was good but a bit out dated. Everyone on the boat was super kind. I would say you get what you pay for.
Also know the tour tickets are $105 USD for all the sight seeing you go to. And the “recommended $10 a day tip” isn’t “recommended” it’s required in cash the first day of the trip for the boat staff, not including our tour guide.
Hot air balloon ride is a must! Definitely made the trip and I felt very safe throughout the whole experience.
Overall experience 4/5 for the money I paid.

Mina is the best
We had an amazing 4-day tour with Mina, and we couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide! Mina was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and professional throughout the entire trip.
Over the four days, he took us to some incredible historical sites, including the Temple of Philae, Aswan High Dam, Abu Simbel Temple, Kom Ombo Temple, Edfu Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Queen Hatshepsut’s Temple, the Colossi of Memnon, Karnak Temple, and Luxor Temple.
Mina did an excellent job explaining the history and significance of each site while also making sure we had enough time to explore, take pictures, and enjoy the experience. He was always attentive to our group, answered all of our questions, and made the entire trip feel comfortable and well organized.
What really stood out was how passionate Mina was about Egyptian history and how easily he was able to make the history come alive. He was also very accommodating and made sure everything went smoothly from beginning to end.
We are extremely grateful to Mina for helping make our trip through Egypt such a memorable experience. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely friendly guide, we highly recommend Mina. Thank you, Mina, for an unforgettable four days!

Exceptional
I did like doing this cruise, I particularly preferred the visites of different temples at the sunrise or sunset to avoid the heat.
King Mina, our guide was very helpful, informative and insightful, he knew the history about each visited site and also got good advice for each visited places.
Overall, I highly recommend this tour and particularly the experience with King Mina guide.

Stay was made very comfortable, the food was delicious and of very high quality. Staff was polite and welcoming.
Our tour guide KING MINA is very fluent in communication, is professional, solves every problem and makes the guests feel comfortable in a new country. He keeps the guests always informed about the itenary and keeps everyone together. He cracks jokes to keep every ones mood fresh, is helpful and besides all is extremely knowledgable about ancient egypt history. Best guide 👌

Mina was a fantastic and knowledgeable guide and the sites we visited were all great. It is still very hot in September
The guide was fantastic, we really loved King Mina. However, the tour should have been more transparent about the costs. Each site has a separate entry fee. Additionally, when we booked, abu simbel was optional and we didn't want to do it. However, we still ended up paying for abu simbel even though we didn't go. There is no problem with the guide here, this is a problem with the tour company.

¡Me encantó la experiencia! YO...
¡Me encantó la experiencia! ¡Disfruté muchísimo pasando tiempo en el barco, teniendo a Khaled como guía turístico y visitando todos estos lugares magníficos! El barco estaba limpio y bien mantenido, el personal respondió a cualquier petición con prontitud, ¡e incluso organizaron una pequeña celebración de cumpleaños para mi amigo! Todo fue genial. Lo único es que el último día, en lugar de dar prioridad a visitar los lugares de interés, nuestro guía nos llevó a visitar algunas tiendas con precios excesivos, lo cual estuvo bien porque me dio la oportunidad de comprar recuerdos para mis amigos y mi familia, pero habría preferido terminar de visitar todos los lugares de interés primero y luego ir de compras. Como resultado, no tuvimos tiempo suficiente para visitar el último templo porque tuvimos que volver a casa a toda prisa, ya que una de las personas de nuestro grupo tenía que coger el autobús. Otra cosa es que ese mismo día nos llevaron a un restaurante carísimo para comer, no tuvimos voz ni voto a la hora de elegir el restaurante, la comida allí era mediocre, ni siquiera nos dieron una carta para pedir, ¡y el precio final resultó ser extremadamente caro! La comida que nos dieron definitivamente no valía la pena y es un poco molesto, ya que confiábamos en nuestro guía turístico (probablemente él recibe una comisión o algo así de este restaurante). Sin embargo, me encantó la personalidad de nuestro guía, así que puedo perdonárselo :) como ya dije, ¡me encantó toda la experiencia y no veo la hora de volver! ¡Ya estoy planeando traer a mi marido al mismo viaje! Todo gracias a Khaled y al increíble equipo del barco ;)

Great experience, 100% worth it
I loved the experience! I absolutely enjoyed spending time in the boat, having Khaled as a tour guide and visiting all these magnificent places! The boat was clean and well maintained, the staff responded to any requests promptly, and they even organised a mini birthday celebration for my friend! Everything was great. The only thing is that on the last day instead of prioritising visiting the sights our tour guide took us to visit some overpriced shops, which was fine because it gave me an opportunity to buy souvenirs for my friends and family, but I would prefer to finish visiting all the sights first, and then go shopping. As a result we weren’t given enough time to visit the last temple because we had to rush back home as one of our colleagues had the bus to catch. Another thing is that on the same day we were taken to a super overpriced restaurant for lunch, we didn’t have a say in choosing the restaurant, the food there was mediocre, we weren’t even given a menu to order, and the end price turns out to be extremely expensive! The food we got definitely wasn’t worth it and it’s a bit upsetting as we trusted our tour guide (probably he gets a commission or something from this restaurant). However, I absolutely loved the personality of our tour guide, so can forgive him this :) as I already said, I absolutely loved the whole experience, and can’t wait to go back! And one more thing: you’ll be asked to pay 30$ extra as a tip for the whole team which should be considered as well. But again, I loved the experience that much, that I’m already planning to bring my husband on the same trip! All thanks to Khaled and the amazing boat crew;)
