5.00Our 3-night, 4-day Nile River cruise was the perfect choice for our holiday. The views, the atmosphere, and the entire experience were unforgettable. A special thanks to our guide Hady, who took amazing care of us throughout the trip. His kindness, attention to detail, and thoughtful guidance made everything smooth and truly enjoyable. We had such a wonderful and happy time — a honeymoon we’ll remember forever! Highly recommended.
Tour was good and Hady the best

5.00Awesome experience - the Nile is so beautiful and highly recommended. Food was much better than expected for an all inclusive especially at such a decent rate. Service was really great overall and especially enjoyed our groups tour guide, Hady. Funny and knowledgeable and clearly experienced so we felt safe during some of the chaotic tours through the temples.
Beautiful time on the cruise

5.00I joined the 4 days / 3 nights Nile cruise and it was truly one of the most memorable travel experiences of my life. From the moment we checked in, everything was perfectly arranged. We were given a beautiful room with an amazing view, and the cruise itself was so elegant, clean, and comfortable. Every detail was thoughtful. The tours were also exceptional. Our guide, Hady, was absolutely the best storyteller. He didn’t just explain history – he brought ancient Egypt to life for us. He shared so much knowledge with passion and humour, and made every temple and site feel meaningful. Because of him, the journey became even more impressive. The staff were friendly, the food was delicious, and the experience was so relaxing and unforgettable. I would definitely love to travel again with the same cruise and tour company. Highly recommended!

3.00Some facts about this trip: -contact person from the agency "Hany" is very rude. I asked how much water costs on the boat and Hany told me don't bother with the water think about how much you need to tip ... -wake up time 3:30,4:50,4:30am ... -sailing only from Day 2 15:00 to day 3 18:00 where you can enjoy the Nile view, rest of the time you have to have the curtains shut coz the boat is in between boats... -you consistently competing with 5000 other tourists at every attractions becoz all boats have the same schedule all arrive the same time -hot ballon was cancelled for us and we got EGP800($16) refund but apparently it worths $75 in the package you paid for... -our guide Hady is very oragnized, also knowledgeable with lots of interesting stories. However we did have some issue on Day 1 needing his help with rabies vaccine (due to an incident), where we didn't encounter any trouble in Giza and Hurghada doing the same. I hope it's just language and translation issue rather than human factor -all the places we visited were amazing. I would do it again by renting a car and follow my own schedule but NEVER on a cruise like this
Very good value for money

5.00The boat and food have been exceptional. We enjoyed them a lot. The tour is quite complete, we understand that to arrive on time and be able to do everything sometimes you have to go faster and perhaps we have missed having a little more time to enjoy in the temples. Special mention to our guide, Hady. We appreciate your patience and willingness to make everything go as smoothly as possible. You have to take into account the country we are in and its customs, so sometimes they are insistent and we can feel some discomfort. But if you open up to experiment and understand with your heart you will have a very nice experience. I thank all the cruise staff for their kindness.
Best one till now!!!

5.00Our Aswan to Luxor cruise became even more special thanks to Hady. He was not only knowledgeable but also very caring and approachable. He made the temples and historical sites come alive with his explanations and made sure everyone in our group was comfortable. We felt very well taken care of. Thank you, Hady!
