Very interesting tour of Egypt with Ahmed the best guide
I made this trip with my family on the Nile Cruise .
Our guide was Ahmed Sliem, he was a very polite and punctual guide and planned very well. With Ahmed we had a lot of fun and learned the story well, but he never crossed borders and always gave 200%. His knowledge was very accurate and he taught us many interesting things.
If we should be back in Egypt, then I will do a tour with Ahmed again. Highly recommended experience and guide!

Beautiful time with an excellent tour guide
The tour was very nice, the restaurant had many options, fresh food and always delicious. One only thing that was lower than expected was the internet on the cruise. It disconnected continuously and whenever it was connected it was quite slow.
However, in absence of internet, we had someone who entertained us and that was our tour guide. His name was Ahmed Sliem, also known as the Ahmed the second.
He was very polite, a professional and very knowledgeable about the beautiful ancient history of Egypt. Highly recommened.
Wish the cruise team and Ahmed all the best in the future.

Le Fayan (Aswan to Luxor) and Tour (Guide: Ahmed Sliem)
I absolutely loved it! I had my doubts, but it exceeded all my expectations. From our cruise on Le Fayan to our waiter Mohammad, and most importantly, our fantastic tour guide Ahmed Sliem.
We managed to see everything possible in the time we had and created the most amazing memories! Ahmed, our tour guide, was with us from day one and supported us every step of the way. He is incredibly knowledgeable (he’s an Egyptologist), has a wonderful sense of humor and was always well-prepared. He was punctual, respectful, understanding and compassionate throughout the trip.
When it came to shopping, Ahmed took us to places with genuinely high-quality products. (As Iranians, we’re very familiar with spices and essences, and the quality of the items we bought in Aswan was excellent!) I had complete trust in Ahmed and would wholeheartedly recommend him to my friends. If I ever return to Egypt, I would definitely rebook with him.
The boat itself was fantastic. The food was delicious and the facilities were very comfortable. The only downsides were the evening entertainment, which wasn’t very impressive (just a disco and a belly dance show) and the internet, which was incredibly slow and often disconnected.

Experience ancient Egypt with Ahmed the second
We had the best experience with Ahmed Sliem in our 4 day Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor. He also accompanied us the day before to Abu Simbel. Ahmed was a great guide, polite, honest, knowledgeable and always made fun jokes and learning history entertaining. He also guided us beyond a standard guide and gave us local tips and tricks. If you do a tour with this agency and want a great experience then ask for Ahmed the second.
Also the temples and tombs we saw were incredible. Must visit at least once in a lifetime.
We stayed on the Le Fayen Boat. This was also a great experience, a very new and clean cruise. Specially Mohammed Fathi our waiter was the best.
Overall perfect experience.

Amazing, memorable trip, seamlessly organised by Hany from Luxor and Aswan Travel.
The whole trip was really well organised and we enjoyed it so much. We were picked up from our hotel in Cairo at 5am, and were looked after at every stage of our journey to Aswan. Michael was an amazingly knowledgeable and likeable guide for all our trips out from the cruise ship. Although the cruise was quite packed with trips out (and a few very early morning wake-up calls), there was still enough time to relax and enjoy the scenery and surroundings. After the cruise, our travel back to Cairo from Luxor was all handled very well and we were delivered to our next hotel in Cairo without any problems.
I would definitely recommend the services of Hany and his travel agency to anyone!

3 night 4 day nile cruise. all was good
we booked directly with this company to ensure we got to select the boat we were on. we booked on the ibertrol crown emperor boat and was a nice boat. we were located on the upper floor and had a big window in our room which was nice.
We had an egyptologist booked through the company for us who accompanied us to all the sites-Mo. Mo was great! He spoke perfect English and was very knowledgeable and explained all of the ancient history at the sites.
Everything went smoothly regarding pickup, transport to sites/tickets/ free time to explore at the sites.
The program itself is a little slow the first 2 days as the boat stays docked In Aswan so there is lots of free time. we went to the nubian village on day 2 ( extra cost) which was fun. Mo was responsive to all of our questions about the program.
overall I would recommend this company and guide!

Aswan - Luxor cruise and private guided tour
I did a 3-night cruise on the Amwaj Livingstone from Aswan to Luxor.
We had a private guide dr./Mr. Azab our guide who met us at Aswan. We toured Aswan, Abu simbel and Luxor — had a wonderful time!
Mr Azab was excellent as a guide - he took good care of us and also made sure we had enough time to take pics and wander around after presenting us the curated historical information. He patiently answered all our questions and was well informed.
We did additional places not on the tour : Hator temple - with the valley of the artisans as well as the Habu temple — the former is less known and we just loved it !!Highly recommend Mr. Azab!
Loved the cruise and hospitality aboard the Amwaj! The best experience - with the chef making sure we had enough vegetarian options !
What I would do differently ?
A) fly to Abu simbel and do the temples and drive to Aswan — would save half a day of going up and down by doing it just one way!
B) ensure there is a nice lunch place on the day out in Luxor — for vegetarians options needed.

Amazing memorable time
The boat I chose, Nile Premium, was vary modern and stylish with huge lounge and upper deck. A floating hotel!
The staff on the boat were very friendly, attentive and professional.
The food was excellent and had variety each meal.
My Guide, Mohammed Abdo was what really made it great. As was great company and taught me so much of his knowledge as a professor of Egyptology.
The pace of activities he planned was just the right mix of tours and relaxing.
The cabins were also comfortable.

Amazing 4 days cruise from Aswan to Luxor
Amazing guidance with Waleed - detailed explanation of the monuments and we wouldnt have understood as much of what we are visiting without his guidance! He is very knowledgeable and helpful to answer any questions that we have had

Aswan > Luxor Cruise Review
Had a blast on deluxe cruise, 3 nights / 4 days from Aswan to Luxor. Our experienced, friendly, and intelligent guide, Ashraf, received us @ Aswan Airport and made our stay throughout excellent. He knew the answers to all our questions, and guided us through a relaxing but informative itinerary filled with unique experiences. A tour guide even told us at a site that Ashraf was a hieroglyphics expert, corroborated by the fact that he translated any inscriptions we pointed to. The cruise was wonderful, buffet plentiful, and the crew helpful. Had a wonderful time, highly recommend and would love to be back.
