Amazing experience, incredible deal
My friend and I (young women travelers) were initially suspicious of how inexpensive this package was, but we were absolutely blown away by the quality of service of the agency and the knowledge and kindness of the guides. Because we went in the off season, most of the tours that might have included larger groups in the summer were private. The standouts were Michael (the Aswan guide), Hany (the driver in Aswan), Sam (Edfu guide), Hany (Luxor guide), and Hussein (Luxor driver). Hany let us customize our itinerary to include Dendera and then literally took us through the Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple in the middle of the sweltering day. He was heroic!
Everyone we met through the travel agency was incredibly helpful and welcoming, and I was stunned by how great an experience this trip was. A lot of the reviews mention the price of entry to all the sites, but if you have a student ID (even if its old, as long as you’re under 30) it’s half the price!
The only downside is that the boat (a separate entity from the travel agency), while staffed by wonderful people, experienced some random delays and didn’t have functional WiFi for over half the time, however, having 24/7 communication with the travel agency made us feel very secure anyway. I have already recommended this trip to several friends, and I will remember it extremely fondly. Thank you to everyone for such a wonderful experience!

Good Guide Is The Key
A good tour guide is the key, and we're lucky to have a very good one, King Mina 😊, who is very knowledgeable, supportive, and always available to help. Highly recommended!

l'Égypte au fil du Nil
Expérience très agréable, bien quelle soit un peu speed sur le rythme des visites mais ça on s'y attendait.
Notre guide Talaat Abdo a largement contribué à la rendre très agréable. Lors des visites il ne fait pas qu' énumérer des choses, il raconte une histoire qui suit son cours au fil des visites et ça c'est super. Il a su rendre les visites vivantes. Sa connaissance sur les lieux est réel.
De plus il s'est occupé de gérer les billets d'entrée aux sites à notre place.
Concernant la croisière en tant que tel, le bateau est propre mais vieillot. Le personnel est agréable

Cheap but good!
The guider and the cruiser crew were simply amazing! I can't express in words how diligently these people worked for us! The laundry service is a very handy thing to get during the trip. I wouldn't say I loved the SPA area, it needs some renovation, but the massage offered there was really relaxing. Tipping the cleaners, even if just a bit, is a must!

Best guider in Egypt
Our guider was Talaat Abdo. He was an incredible guider and helper, I couldn't feel more safe, he was always taking care of the crew and making sure everyone was following him well. He is clearly very skilled, showing expertise in the history of Egypt and making each touristic site more meaningful. His good humor made every moment fun! The guy knows how to crack a good joke! The cruise was nice, good food, nice accommodations, and very kind clerks. The SPA area have good massage, but the place itself is a little old. It would be nice to renew the place. The massage was good, and made my time in the cruise more relaxing.

We had a wonderful time...
We had a wonderful time on this cruise! Our guide, Michael, was a true highlight - knowledgable, enthusiastic, and generous in his guidance both during the tour and recommendations for elsewhere. Despite the early starts, Michael energised our group every morning. Even though it was very hot, the sites had fewer people in the low season so we were able to explore. Philae Temple, Karnak, and the Valley of the Kings were exceptional experiences in particular. The balloon ride also cannot be missed! Our boat itself - the Monaco - was very comfortable and spacious, with plenty of food and a pool to cool off after walking. The staff were kind and attentive, especially Carlos at the bar. You are assigned both the boat and your tour group, but we got very lucky with both and feel fortunate for everyone we met. We were so glad we chose the experience, as it will be a cherished memory of Egypt until we visit again!

Excellent across the board
It was a great experience overall. The cabins were suites and very comfortable. The food on board was super good. The itinerary can be a bit tiring in the summer heat but you can decide to skip one activity if you want to rest. The balloon ride is a must in my view. The guide King Mina was very knowledgeable and fun to talk to.

Unforgettable Nile Cruise with Exceptional Guide
We had a fantastic overall experience on our Nile River cruise. “King” Mina was an exceptional guide—knowledgeable, professional, and attentive to every detail. He made sure all the logistics were seamlessly handled, allowing us to simply relax and enjoy the journey. I would highly recommend this cruise, especially with Mina as your guide.
