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

Pros and cons of my Nile cruise experience
Seeing all the temples was really nice and the whole planning was on time. The food was really good and the rooms were clean.
The only problem we had was the continuous tip demanding from the staff. On our welcome session our guide requested money. $30 USD per person! He said that is the group tip for the whole cruise. But the staff members still requested more tips and once I mentioned that I have already paid the tip, their behaviour changed. The guide asked for more money at the end which was not nice at all! If there is any fixed amount for tip, you need to mention that in the details of your trip.
They keep saying this is the culture in Egypt and you must respect that. This excuse is insulting for the tourists as they are not ATM machines. Also the tourists have already paid for these services, so they should not be pressured for more money. On the other hand I met many other Egyptians through my long trip all over the Egypt and that’s not the norm. May be that’s the culture of those who are in tourism industry, but they don’t represent the whole country.
I am not against tipping, but I am against pressuring people to get something out of them. Tips are not mandatory! And you can’t define a fixed amount for it unless you communicate that with your clients beforehand. I am pretty sure if they change this attitude no one will be offended and they will end up to attract more tourists to this magnificent country.
