5.00Despite having had delays on arrival due to flight and late confirmations in the optional tours, Ahmed was truly accommodating and made sure we had a great time! Really made our trip memorable and allowed us to focus on squeezing in all desired itinerary with ease! The cruise boat itself had a spacious sundeck with best food i had in Egypt throughout the three days with head manager Arafa!
Nice service, well...

The Nile Cruise, which needs repairs
Nikolai P,,Dec 26, 2025
- Review from Viator
3.00Our cruise ship, the Shame Nile Cruise, was so old and in so bad shape that it was ridiculous All those pictures which company sent us were photoshopped, in reality trust me you don't want to be on that ship at all The other thing, in description it says “including tours “ NO, tours were not included we paid for the most of the entrances and extra trips, plus if you don't pay for the optional tours you would be siting on that old ship! Please do not pay for the ship’s Wi-Fi. I wasted $100 on that; it doesn't work at all! Our tour guy, Mouhamad, was very knowledgeable and spoke OK English; it was the only good part of our trip. Overall, I felt the tour wasn’t worth what they asked for, way overpriced, expensive tour in an impoverished country. If you booked this tour, it would be a good idea for you to ask for the name of the ship and do your own research.

5.00We did a 4-day all-inclusive Nile River cruise with Egypt Best Tours and it was outstanding from start to finish. The food on board was excellent fresh, varied, and plentiful every day. The cabin and ship were very comfortable and well maintained, and the staff were always friendly and attentive. The tour guides were a real highlight: knowledgeable, organized, and genuinely passionate about the history. Every stop was smooth, well timed, and stress-free. Overall, the cruise was great value and an unforgettable way to experience Egypt. Highly recommend Egypt Best Tours!

5.00My experience on the Nile Cruise was truly memorable. From start to finish, everything was organised beautifully the excursions to the temples were fascinating, the onboard entertainment was lively, and the staff made every moment enjoyable. A special mention goes to Ahmed, who treated me like a brother throughout the trip. He went above and beyond to make sure every need was met, coordinating all the events and bookings seamlessly. Thanks to him, the entire process felt smooth and effortless. This cruise offered the perfect blend of culture, relaxation, and genuine hospitality. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Egypt it is an experience I will always cherish.

5.00This tour is a good way to see several Egyptian highlights in a short amount of time. Our private guide/Egyptologist was Ahmed Mido and I would gladly recommend him. He is a very nice man who is knowledgeable about the history of the various sites and decoding hieroglyphics. I'm sure you'll enjoy this tour... but please be clear on what to expect. Firstly, our boat was far more modest than the photos. It's called the Jaz Crown Jubilee. Additionally, you need to read the itinerary very closely. Even through the title says "including tours" - Abu Simbel ($165USD), Hot Air Balloon ($99) and Nubian Village ($49) are all additional charges which will need to be paid in cash. You're also responsible for your own entrance into all sites which typically run $10-15 each. Please know that tipping is very different in Egyptian culture. Pretty much each person who you interact with will expect a tip so come prepared with LOTS of small bills. I will say that "Egypt Best Day Tours" was very easy to communicate with via WhatsApp and they checked in nearly every day to ensure everything was going well with us. Egypt is a spectacular place to visit so I recommend splurging on all the optional tours. Each site is more spectacular than the last... ENJOY!
