5.00I've dreamed of going to Egypt ever since I was a kid and this Nile Cruise was everything I could have hoped for and more! Our guide, Muhammad Abdo, was one of the best tour guides we've ever had -- very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the ancient sites. He explained complex mythology very clearly and interpreted important hieroglyphics for us at each temple. He made sure everyone had a great time and brought ancient egypt to life! I highly recommend this tour and especially Muhammad Abdo!
Amazing adventure on the Nile with the most professional crew and amazing guide, Mohammed Abdo

5.00This had to be one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. Sailing the Nile is like Egypt allowed us directly into its heart and allowed us to explore and experience its magnificent history, its culture and importantly its warm and hospitable people. The tour was very well organized, from exploring various historical places and landmarks to food which was delicious and the accommodation on board which was as good if not better than any 5 star accommodation. Importantly, our guide, Mohammed Abdo was warm, welcoming, accommodating and knowledgeable. He is also not too bad on the dance floor. This will for sure be the trip of a lifetime
Amazing experience - Mohammed A. was a great guide!

5.00We had an absolutely amazing time on the cruise - well worth it and very comfortable! Mohammed A. was our guide and did a fantastic job of guiding us through all the ancient sites. He was super professional and extremely knowledgeable, and always good / high energy. This was exactly the experience we were hoping for and it’s the best way to see a ton of ancient sites and learn about them.

5.00The Cruise was definetely one of the highlights of our stay in Egypt. It included meals, accommodation and the tours, which made the experience hazzle-free and very enjoyable. We enjoyed every guide, their passion for the history of Egypt and their kindness. Special mention to Mohammed Abdo who was our guide for Luxor, Karnak and the last day in Aswan. He was very informative, helpful and made this experience very memorable. We would definitely recommend the cruise!! Our room had a nice view of the Nile river. The afternoons were very enjoyable at the sundeck, with tea time included. The staff is also very kind and always received you with a smile in their face. The quaility of food was good and there were healthy choices, which is greatly appreciated. You can either start the cruise from Luxor or Aswan. We started from Luxor and there was few people. Some days you will have to wake up very, very early, but the experience is worth it.
Exceeded expectations, highly recommended!

5.00We had an amazing time at this Cruise tour. Even before we landed in Aswan, our guide Hady got in touch with us, and there onwards it has just been wonderful!! He ensured things were well organised, Hady is a brilliant combination of knowledge, experience, humour and passion! We learnt so much about Egypt history and had so much fun at the same time. Our ship Renaissance was clean and had all the facilities I expected and more. I am really glad we chose this tour and that Hady was our guide. I highly recommend this tour.
Great solo trip

4.00This has been a very enjoyable cruise. The cabin was excellent. The meals also. Our guide a thorougly efficient guy. The group we were in (22 people) turned out to be very friendly travel companions. The schedule is intense and we did a lot. We both enjoyed the experience. There is also rest periods of Nile cruising The only hurdles were the 8 hours journey to Abu Simbel in an uncomfortable minibus And the fact all the big boats follow the same schedule; that creates super congested temple visits at times
