  The Cruise was okay, but as a lot of people say in reviews egyptian 5 stars means European 2 or 3 stars. The ship was old, and not always that clean, the food was boring, and the sun deck was often covered in diesel smoke from all the ships docked together. However, a comfortable way to see a lot of temples from Luxor to Aswan. The communication to Itaca Holiday was poor and they were not very helpful. Often we had to write them the night before to get to know the program for the next day. The worst was, however, our second guide. First of all, she was 30 min late for a 2-hour excursion. Secondly, she tried to scam us into paying for some transport that was included, probably so she could just pocket the money herself. The only reason they get two stars is because Itaca Holidays offered us an extra tour as compensation for the bad experience, though we didn't have time to do this.

  This tour hits all the major sites, and we were met at each port by a knowledgeable tour guide. However, travelling in Egypt during the tourist low season meant that the harassment from street vendors of all kinds (including staff from the boat) was really bad and as two young women we rarely felt comfortable leaving the boat alone. Additionally, the intensity of personal attention on the boat was frankly overwhelming, the food was aggressively unappetising, and the multiple layer of subcontractors made communication challenging at times. Despite a great number of people telling me “as you like”, I rarely felt in control of my experience.

  The combination of the Cruise, lying on the sun deck and riding along the nile with the cultural trips to great temples and monuments was nice! The things we saw were great and the relaxation on the deck was great! The service personal on the ship was very nice! The ship was outdated but the crew made the best of what they had! Cairo Pass tour was available all the time and answered to all of our needs if we needed something! That was impressive! But we did not get an itinerary and that is very important to have at the beginning of the trip with information about what time to get up, what time the ship leaves, what time lunch is, when there is free time, when we would go where etc... So we can relax and prepare ourselves. He also tried to organise as much as possible for us with extra trips without really asking us which combination or what kind of vacation or what trips were better suited for us. It was just assumed that we want to see as much as possible and he didnt give us advice if the extra trip, we paid for extra!, were actually worth it or if we could have done less and then more relaxing.. We did not get free water as it was written on the website. Cairo Pass tour did drive us to places to buy water but we still thought we would get free water, which was not the case. The drinks on the boat are too expensive! Cairo Pass tour is a very great trip organiser and was there for us for everything! But we were just too ill informed and felt like we were pushed into extra trips and costs we didnt necessarily need or at least not in the way or in the time slot that he wanted us to go, wich led to an unrelaxing and expensive vacation for us. Also the fact that one expects us to tip everyone although everything was already paid for, was unexplicable to us. But Cairo Pass Tour is a great guy!! And the sights we saw were amazing! My friend and me always had our own guide, so we werent in a big group, which was also very nice and special.
