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.

Truly enjoyable and informative Guide
We had a fantastic experience with our guide, Hady. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so many interesting insights throughout the tour. 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. Highly recommend Hady to anyone looking for an informative and memorable tour!

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

Pro e contro della mia esperienza di crociera sul Nilo
Vedere tutti i templi è stato davvero bello e l'intera pianificazione è stata puntuale. Il cibo era davvero buono e le camere erano pulite.
L'unico problema che abbiamo avuto era la continua mancia esigente dal personale. Nella nostra sessione di benvenuto la nostra guida ha richiesto denaro. $ 30 USD a persona! Ha detto che è la punta di gruppo per tutta la crociera. Ma i membri dello staff hanno comunque richiesto altre mance e una volta che ho detto che ho già pagato la mancia, il loro comportamento è cambiato. La guida ha chiesto più soldi alla fine che non era affatto bello! Se c'è un importo fisso per la mancia, è necessario menzionarlo nei dettagli del viaggio.
Continuano a dire che questa è la cultura in Egitto e dovete rispettarla. Questa scusa è offensiva per i turisti in quanto non sono bancomat. Anche i turisti hanno già pagato per questi servizi, quindi non dovrebbero essere sotto pressione per più soldi. D’altra parte ho incontrato molti altri egiziani attraverso il mio lungo viaggio in tutto l’Egitto e non è la norma. Forse è questa la cultura di chi è nel settore del turismo, ma non rappresenta l’intero Paese.
Non sono contro la mancia, ma sono contro le pressioni sulle persone per ottenere qualcosa da loro. Le mance non sono obbligatorie! E non è possibile definire un importo fisso per esso a meno che non si comunica con i vostri clienti in anticipo. Sono abbastanza sicuro che se cambieranno questo atteggiamento nessuno si offenderà e finiranno per attirare più turisti in questo magnifico paese.
