Excellent experience

5.00We took a 3 day and 2 night cruise between Aswan and Luxor, and the experience was amazing. Sailing on the Nile while discovering these historic sites was a real pleasure. The staff were very attentive throughout the stay, always smiling and attentive. The food on board was varied and of good quality. The excursions, very well organized, started early in the morning to avoid the crowds and heat, a real plus to fully enjoy the visits. An experience I recommend without hesitation!

5.00Absolutely loved the cruise - from the staff to the food to the activities. I didn’t know what to expect in the beginning but the overall experience really impressed me. I appreciated all the behind-the-scenes work from the staff, your seamless orchestration really made an huge difference. A huge thank you and I highly recommend this cruise to anyone who is looking to see the highlights of temples along the Nile.
Great guides! Cool experience but would recommend finding your own boat and arranging through a different company/group.

3.00This is definitely an experience you want, but I just recommend booking your own boat and guides for the places through a different company/goup. Overall we still had a wonderful time, however a few things to note: The person from the trip/travel company that organized that we were in touch with was not organized. They always told us the wrong times and info or we had to ask many questions to get any information on our plans for each day. We were not ever sent that information ahead of time (or we would get it in the middle of the night so we weren’t able to arrange our day). They didn’t even know what boat we were on when we arrived places and we would be waiting for such long times every day then rushed/herded through our visits. The first day was not organized well, 6 of us got squashed into this old van that had no heat and holes that cold air came through so for 4 hours we drove to Abu Simbel freezing. The driver had no English ask we had no info from the organizer of guide. When we go my there we got rushed into this large group and rushed to the temple. It was gorgeous! But the drive and disorganization tainted it a bit for us. Additionally we spent some time there and then got back in this can for another 4 hour drive. We did not get any water or snacks or food. No stops, and we did not get back and dropped until almost 4pm (pick up was at 4am so for 12 hours no food). The guide at abu Simbel was GREAT! All of the guides arranged at the locations have been GREAT. The best part. The boat was on the older side but clean, staff amazing and food was awesome! The biggest thing is that the organization and communication is lacking and makes you feel always unsure or out of place. Everyday the pickup time for boat vs company text (usually that morning unless we asked about it the night before) was always wrong. If the boat says 8:30, the company said 8am then the pickup wouldn’t happen until 9-9:30am. just be aware so you don’t unnecessarily rush.
Great tour and guide
