5.00We really enjoyed the experience. All the guides were spectacular. The attention from the agency is very good, they always helped us in our consultations. We had booked in the other app before leaving with Viator and 6 days before we were cancelled. Luckily we could make this one. It is one of the best ways to make temples, although you have little time and there are many people, because all cruises arrive at the same time, the guides are very patient when it comes to giving you room for photos.

5.00The family consists of five people: two in their 70s, two in their 30s, and a three-year-old. The balance between sightseeing and spending time on board was good. My guide, Mustafa, was knowledgeable and explained things with humor. The first day started at 4am. It was three hours one way to the Temple of Absimbel, which was packed into a minivan and was pretty hard. But the cruise afterwards was comfortable. It was early morning on the second and third days. Together they left around 7:00. However, this allowed us to visit the ruins and fully enjoy the cruise. On the third day we visited the ruins, there were only five members of our family in the minivan, so it was hot outside but comfortable inside. It was also good to be able to keep in close contact with the guides and the people at the company. If I had time, I might prefer a leisurely cruise such as three or four nights, but I felt that even two nights would not be enough. We were worried about sightseeing in the extreme heat as we could only choose this tour because we didn't have much time, but we were satisfied as a result.
Bad start. Good finish.

2.00I have rated this tour ‘bad’ since the initial arrangements were a disaster. Our driver attempted to abandon us at the side of the road in Aswan without us knowing where or how to get to our ship. This resulted in a very stressful argument and us nearly missing the ship. Had the operator communicated arrangements effectively from the outset this might never have happened. I’ve met enough Egyptians who speak English! [Please take note]. That said after that finally getting to our ship, everything went swimmingly. The MV Nile Marquis at 30+ years is showing her age, but the accommodation was clean and comfortable. The food (not 5*) was acceptable and the staff polite and hospitable (I hope we left sufficient tip to show this!). The sun deck had a large chilled plunge pool and plenty of space with cover from the sun to watch the Nile go by. Notwithstanding the shambles of the journey from Abu Simbel [enough said!], the other tours were well run and the guides pleasant and informative. Though I wish we had had the option of not having have the ubiquitous carriage drawn by an emaciated scouring horse at Edfu.

5.00We had an absolutely incredible time on our two-night cruise, and it was even better than we imagined. The trip was well organized, incredibly safe, and everything flowed seamlessly from start to finish. The boat, the sites, and the whole experience were beautiful. A special thank you to our travel agent, who truly went above and beyond for us. She worked around the clock, even helping us at 11pm when we arrived in Aswan, to ensure everything was in place. She was responsive, efficient, and made sure every detail was taken care of, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment. Her care and dedication were evident in every step, and we’re so grateful for her support throughout this journey. Highly recommend this company if you want a stress-free, well-organized, and memorable experience in Egypt.
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!

5.00We had an incredible time on this cruise! The staff were very welcoming and made sure to take care of us whenever they saw us. The food options were great, as well as the program for the cruise itself. Our tour guide, Mohammad, for all of our visits to ruins was great and very accommodating. As a big group it was a really great way to get from Aswan to Luxor and check off all the big items. Highly recommended for anyone thinking about doing it.
