Great way to see Southern Egypt
In short, this is an excellent way to see the highlights of southern Egypt. Safe, professional, clean, interesting, great service, delicious food (and lots of it) and great amenities. Sitting on the deck, or near the window in your room, and watching the bank of the Nile pass you by.... a unique and memorable experience.
I think it is luck of draw as to which boat you get (i think we saw about 50 different options). They all look good, it's just that some look newer than others. My wife and I were fortunate to stay in a boat that had just been renovated. Everything was nice and fresh.
I can't praise the boat staff enough.
They were very attentive and kind, made returning to the boat after a long day trekking an enjoyable experience (one that we would anticipate). They also made lots of delicious food. I know I already mentioned that, but it's worth repeating.
We chose a private guide to take us to the sites, and were very glad we did. Ahmed was a very knowledgeable Egyptologist, had good English and made both of us feel safe when we travelled. He helped us with tipping (when and how much) and helped us to barter when we bought a souvenir. He's been doing his job for 20 years and it shows. When possible, he allocated a good amount of time for us to wander around by ourselves.
Highly recommend.

Egyptian Exploration
Having a private guide provided us with exceptional one on one attention! This tour allotted us the opportunity to visit not only the sites listed but, because there were only 4 of us, when we needed a pharmacy he made it happen. Also Mohamed gave us excellent advice and direction on when and where to purchase items that we wanted to take home. His knowledge was incredible, and he answered every question I had with a smile. Visiting the temples at night is a must! We will book another tour soon!

Lovely 4D/3N cruise. Comfortable journey on the Nile
The Cruise was pleasant and calming. The ship's rooms and amenities were a bit old but overall it was comfortable.
Along the way they will stop at certain locations along the Nile, so that you may visit the attractions -better if you have a guide with you.
The top deck is used as a lounge, viewing gallery and pool . The food served was good but sometimes could be better. However, please note that drinks are not included and will be charged. You also cannot bring your own water into the dining hall.
Overall, the cruise was great. Highly recommend it to anyone travelling in groups.

Amazing Experience with Sayed!
We were lucky enough to be paired with Sayed Taie as our guide from Aswan to Luxor - what an amazing experience! Sayed is incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of ancient Egyptian history and is hilarious to spend time with. At all times he made us feel safe and comfortable and genuinely cared about our safety and experience in Egypt. Because of him we thoroughly enjoyed our experience during this tour.
The boat we stayed on was also excellent - staff were overall brilliant, and Sayed helped to resolve a minor issue experienced by one of the members of our tour on the cruise. Overall, very much worth the money! Thanks Sayed!

100% WORTH IT!
We booked the 3 night cruise from Aswan to Luxor and had the best time!
Our guide Sayed was fantastic, he became more of a friend than just a guide. We had a group of 7 people and we all ended up getting along so well and had so much fun.
Sayed was super informative everywhere we went, and he never was pushy with any additional buying on the tour. He was really honest and kept us safe everywhere we went.
The cruise itself was really enjoyable, our ship was nice and the food was decent. It was no 5 star resort but it was really good for what it is and 100% worth it!
This tour is a perfect way to see the Nile and all the ancient sites whilst also being taken care of and enjoying a cruise.
If you’re tossing up between the 3 nights or longer, definitely do the longer cruise if you have time. If we had of had more time we would have done the 5 night cruise!
And again massive thank you to Sayed for making our trip so enjoyable, he was so much fun!!
