Lo mejor nuestro guía Ibrahim Moharem
Fue una experiencia única e increíble. El crucero estuvo bien la gente era agradable. Pero no hubiera podio ser así si no llega a ser por nuestro guía Ibrahim el nos hizo ver todo desde otro punto de vista , enseñando los templos y explicando todo con mucha paciencia y notando nosotros que le encanta hacer su trabajo. Nunca sentimos en el viaje con el q teníamos que darnos prisa al hacer las cosas, pues estas de vacaciones y te quieres relajar, y en los cruceros con los guías siempre vas corriendo de un sitio a otro, pero con el fue genial! Preguntándonos siempre que nos apetecía hacer. Muchas gracias ibrahim te has convertido en un amigo para nosotros y has hecho que nuestro viaje sea inolvidable . No dudéis en contratarlo habla perfecto español y portugués.

Up and down
We joined the 4D3N cruise. But the cruise rooms are different from the photos shown on viator. We were assigned at the lowest floor. The rooms got almost no view at all. We are the only ones at the same floor. Also smelly from the kitchen at the same floor.
Other than that our guide Omar very good. Everything went well.

Unforgettable experience
My friend and I were travelling onboard the Alyssa with Egypt Knigt Tours providing our guiding for three days. We had the pleasure of being guided by Galal Kayed. He was extremely knowledgeable and we were enthralled by his detailed accounts at each site, which provided us insight into the the ancient Egyptian civilisation and religion. Galal was very patient and took time to answer all our questions.
As for the tour itself, every site was better than the last. The itinerary included all the major temples and the Valley of the Kings. However, due to a change of schedule on our boat (not the fault of Egypt Knight Tours), our last day was rushed, but Galal did an amazing job to accompany us for a whole 9 hours!
Highly recommended.

Good Vacation
Our cruise from Aswan to Luxor was planned by Mahmoud from EgyptKnightTour. All in all this is very good package if you want to cover many places at reasonable cost and Mr. Mahmoud will make sure you are covered for everything promised in the itinerary.

Things I liked/loved about this arrangement:
1) Mr. Mahmoud constantly kept in touch throughout which gave us an idea about our next plans.
2) Cruise arrangements were excellent. Enjoyed every minute.
3) Mr. Galal took us to a special papyrus shop which had lot of touristy souvenirs. Key to remember is you have to bargain to get good price in shops.
Things I didn't like:
1) Our guides kept changing everyday which made it hard for me to keep track of who will show up/how much I should tip the person.
2) We felt rushed at Philae temple. We could've spent more time there as that was the last itinerary that day and it was barely 11AM. Once we finished, we were offered to visit Nubian village at an extra price (which we politely declined). Since the same guide showed up on last day for Karnak, I made sure I clearly communicated that I wanted to spend more time at temples rather than head back early to cruise.
3) No guide showed up for Abu Simbel after boarding our bus, so we were left to explore ourselves.
4) Last day when we were to be dropped back, the guy who was supposed to pick us up came more than an hour late. I almost booked another ride to airport worrying about missing my flight.

Nile cruise
A very good tour, well organized, precise hours and meeting. A very instructed guide (Hany), polite and helpful. Sometimes the cars and the ship not a very high quality. Making the balance I recommend.

Great opportunity
In general it was a very interesting trip to learn about the Egyptian times. We would have not been able to do it or learn so much without our guide Hany. One of the downsides is that there was little communication on the boat and it was always hard to know what the plan was. The cruise was organized by a different company than the agency that took us on tour. The tour guide tried to always tell us the plan. Still a great option to see many things in little time with one tour guide. Very early mornings! Then most afternoons free.

Good cruise and best Guide Galal Kayed
We were picked up from Aswan railway station by Mr Galal Kayed. Thanks to his patience since the train was delayed by 1.5hrs. He showed us High dam, Lake Nasser and then dropped us in the Cruise ship named Magic 2. Cruise ship was great experience. Thanks to Mahmoud Ali mohamed from Egypt knight tours for organizing everything. He stayed in touch with me from the beginning till the end.
Day 2 of Nile cruise, we started by day trip to Abu simbel from Aswan early in the morning at 4am and back to cruise in aswan by 1pm. The cruise started from Aswan at 130pm. It reached komombo in the evening. Saw komombo, crocodile museum. Galal Kayed was really professional and managed cruise timing so that we r back on time. He explained a lot on the history so that we can match it with the paintings.
Day 3: started early in the morning by 6am for Edfu. Had a horse ride to edfu temple. Nice place again and thanks to guide Galal Kayed. He explained us the history of the temple and got us back in time by 715am. Be careful in edfu with horse riding people. Galal Kayed guided us how to be with them and he was always with us as helping hand. Evening we visited Karnak and Luxor temples. MUST see places again. Galal Kayed is so well organized that we got out of cruise, car was ready to pick us up. We were back on time. Best part is he manages time perfectly.
Day 4: started our day at 6am with breakfast on board. Then we checked out of cruise to go to west Bank where valley of the kings is situated. Very nicely organized again. We could finish everything by 10am before sun hits hard. Our guide Galal Kayed dropped us in the hotel, waited till check in and left.
Best part of the trip with Egypt Knight tours is Mahmoud Ali mohamed who stayed in touch with me in WhatsApp. Even best part was our guide Galal Kayed. He was there for us every time, explained the itinerary previous day, explained history on the way to the places we were going. He ensured we were safe from shop vendors in certain places, didnt force us to shop or spend unnecessarily. Very professional and nice guy. He was the best part of the trip. Thanks again :)

Incredible boat, organization can be improved.
All in all I recommend this experience. The recommendation is due to the incredible landscapes and places you can access with the boat.
Our guide Amro was a really nice person looking always for our comfort. However, we missed a bit of more information and insight on the monuments that we visited.
You have to go with an open mind for changes. I reserved a balloon flight in Luxor for my boyfriend that I had to cancel as they changed the schedule and no one asked/told us in advance. This change happened the 1st day, what made us stay one extra full day in Aswan (with one day you have more than enough!), we did not sleep in Luxor so I had to cancel the balloon flight and we did not have time to see everything in Luxor either.
The boat schedule is known in advance so I still wonder why we were not informed of the changes.
I have to say that the boat was incredible (Ms Symphony) and everyone on the boat treated us spectacularly.
