This was a trip of a lifetime! Always wanted to see the pyramids and learn much more about Egypt. Ahmed was our guide always making sure we were on time to our events from boat rides to a train ride to an air balloon ride. Would definitely recommend this package if you’ve never been to Egypt.
Egypt + Ahmed = priceless memories

I don’t even know where to start because there are so many great things I can say about this trip and about our tour guide Ahmed. I’ll just say this, the history and experience of this trip was priceless and Ahmed was extremely knowledgeable. He was personable, friendly and made my wife and I feel very comfortable with the atmosphere and culture. We learned so much from him that every time we watch a movie that references Egypt, we’re understand it a little better thanks to Ahmed and can say we’ve been those places. I would recommend this trip and Ahmed 100 times over!!!
Everything absolutely perfect

I couldn't ask for anything better. Beyond my expectations. Never been on a cruise in my life and I was skeptical! Everything was beyond my expectations, the food, the excursions, the magic of the fairytale landscapes, the view of the room. Our guide Ahmed Abass, in addition to being a fantastic person with whom we stayed in contact, was excellent in organizing the trip, giving us very useful advice for a perfect holiday. I absolutely recommend!
Memorable Trip.

Egypt never failed to surprise me its such a unique place and it should be on every one bucket list. Accommodation, food, service and staff on the cruise were wow left me with loads of unforgettable memories. Staff very friendly and very professional.Egypt package tours which was our tour company were very professional and truly they exceeded the expectations, organised and efficient all my queries dealt with promptly, they did have answers to my questions before I even ask even thu I did have quite few questions as the tour guide did cover every singl thing I would ask about. Egypt is a safe place to visit we never felt unsafe. The tour guide we had was well informed, he would load us up with information and then give us time to explore on our own and we liked that approach. I highly recommend the tour company package tours. Thanks Egypt package tours for making our stay in Egypt very memorable lastly a big thanks to our drivers in Luxor and Aswan as well as the tour guide Ahmed who was with us on the cruise and he did his absolutely very best to leave us with unforgettable memories. Keep up with the good work guys best and wishes thanks for everything.

A cruise that you can book with your eyes closed. We were in contact with heba who was incredibly kind. She is also very available for any questions and incredibly caring (we regularly received messages to find out if everything was going well). Everything is organized to perfection and done so that you have the best possible stay. The 3 meals are included in the price of the cruise as well as all the transportation and guides (there is even a swimming pool on the boat). However, you will have to pay for the entrance fees to the places visited. The visits with the guides are very interesting and complete. You will meet passionate and exciting people. A big thank you to Tommy(our guide in Luxor) for his work and his kindness. We learned a lot from him. If you are going to Egypt you must take this great cruise
