  A little rushed especially on last day as had to fit in 5 viewings due to late arrival by boat - in future I shall be checking fine print as it appeared tomb visits were included - they were not. Boat was nice but needing tlc in some areas - guide was very good but we all noticed other guides stayed with their groups throughout the visits? Perhaps due to his previous back injury - as we found him a good orator and well versed in the huge amount of kings and queens and their history

  Magnificent Tour. We visited so many amazing places full of histroy. Our Guide made it an amazing experience. He was able to share his profounf knowledge with and embedded it with his great personal humour. The day before arriving at the ship we got an E-Mail, that we got upgraded on another ship. The ship was fanatastic with very modern and clean cabins and common areas. The food wath great with a huge varietey of warm and cold, vegetarian und meat options. The service was the best we experienced in all over Egypt. Although you could expect certain security issues becuase of the current situation in middel east, Egypt is a very safe country. Besides that Nil cruiese we were travelling the country alone and never felt anywhere threatened or even worried. The Egyptians are lovely, kind and welcoming people. While walking through the streets - doesn't matter where in Egypt - people even shout "welcome and to egypt" and give you a big smile. Travelling through Egypt with tour or on your own ist my big recomondation. When chossing a Tour, chosse a Nile cruise with Holiday in Egypt. They are very fair and the offer ist great. Because of sickness I was not able to attend one of the booked trips to Abu Simbel. So Holiday iN Egypt gave me huge part of the money for that trip back. Very generous.

  This is my second Nile cruise. Excellent organisation from the start to finish. The last day we had the chance to meet personally the guys behind the scene who were communicating with us. Excellent communication. The whole trip was well organised with plenty of time for photos and exploration. The food was 5* with big variety. The last day we had extra time to spare in Luxor and the owner organised free lunch and option to rest on the ship despite we already checked out..Nice touch which was appreciated from all us. Thank you guys for the great time.

  We had the pleasure of taking a 4-day Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, and it was a perfect experience from start to finish. Our tour guide Ahmed was amazing. He not only had extensive knowledge of the history and culture but was also always attentive to our well-being. The entire trip was perfectly organized, giving us a sense of comfort and safety throughout. The crew on board was exceptionally friendly and courteous. Everyone made sure our stay was as enjoyable as possible. Another highlight was the incredible view from the ship's deck – the Nile and its surroundings are breathtaking and offer pure relaxation. The food on board was excellent, with a great variety of dishes, all freshly prepared. The rooms were very clean and cozy, and we always felt safe and well cared for during the entire journey. At no point did we ever feel that anything could go wrong. We spent a total of 11 days in Egypt and never felt unsafe at any time. On the contrary, it was clear that great care is taken to ensure the safety of tourists, which was very reassuring. In summary, it was a perfect vacation that everyone should experience at least once. We would gladly take a Nile cruise again and highly recommend it to anyone!

  The nile cruise was fantastic, I was very surprised by the food as had heard on other cruises they were not good, but honestly way better than expected. Staff on the boat were friendly and helpful. We had an incredible tour guide Ahmed Kassem, he was very knowledgeable, gave us great advice, and ensured we were okay everyday. Wish we had more time in Egypt to do a longer tour on the Nile, but if you are short for time like us, I highly recommend this tour, such an amazing experience.

  The Trip was perfect to explore the most important places between Assuan and Luxor. You will see a lot. Every Staff Member and Guide is very kind and helpful. Hassan our guide was very kind and funny! Je has a big knowledge about the history of Egypt. The cruise was very clean, beautiful and was good to relax or to relax at the pool. It had good food, especially the egyptian night. Drinks are not included but you get water on every tour. 5/5

  The cruise on the Nile is a fantastic experience everyone should do in their life time. The cruise takes you to a lot of places, so expect to be constantly amazed at the magnificence of the ancient egyptian artifacts, the natural splendour of the Nile, and the kindness of the Egyptian people. The service on the ship is amazing, as well as the facilities on the boat. The tour is quite intense, starting early in the morning and finishing late on most days, but with many breaks for free time to roam around, to eat the delicious local food, to enjoy the poolside and the shows in the lounge, to rest and sail. The personnel on the boat was absolutely delightful - shoutout to the guys doing massage, the guy in the souvenir shop and the guys printing pics and shooting videos, who were all really nice to talk to! It is also worth knowing that the cruise is not actually "all inclusive", at least not by the definition we were used to, because drinks are not included, but it's quite cheap relative to european and I guess american prices. Also, the price does not include entrances to the various temples you will visit, but you have 2 options: either to pay for each entrance yourself, or to get a sort of "pass" through the agency that for $100 includes tickets and tips. If I were to do it again, I would probably prefer to get ticket entrances individually, because I don't know where exactly this tipping goes to. Also, people will still expect to be tipped because they don't know you e-tipped in advance. On that note, make sure to carry a lot of small bills and tip most people you interact with - the horse and carriage driver, the guy walking the camel, the people in the temples who try to explain things to you. In our case, because we don't come from a country where we use dollars or euros, this was difficult, as people expect most payments in dollars. There are many ATMs but often we would arrive in very busy areas and didn't feel very comfortable using the ATM in those areas. Sadly, I have to mention the less happy aspect of our trip which was the guide. I am sorry but I have to be honest, Hasan is evidently not passionate about Egypt's history or about antiquity. He speaks for a very short time giving very high level information and then disappears. Other guides will walk inside the temples with the tourists, explain things in detail and answer questions, which was not the case with our guide. I am sure he is a nice person, but maybe not in the right job. He took us to a couple of places that seemed interesting and were not mentioned in the tour - an essential oil / perfume shop and an alabaster factory. The perfume shop was a bad experience. The girls presenting the perfumes were arrogant and the price was 15 times more expensive than what we paid in the local market for the same stuff. Overall, it was a beautiful trip and we really feel like our journey to Egypt would not have been complete without the cruise and the temples - in particular, Abu Simbel is not to be missed. However, we can't omit saying that with a more passionate guide, this could have been much more enjoyable.

  This was such a great tour to explore some amazing temples and also get to stay in a boat and sail down the Nile! Our guide Anas was awesome!! He knew so much about the temples and the history and would always give us extra time to wander around ourselves and take photos etc. Anas and the company made sure to provide water (temperatures was insanely hot) and they also gave us umbrellas each for the duration of the tour. Definitely recommend Abu Simbel as an optional tour! The temple is just incredible. The hot air balloon ride is also the perfect was to finish the tour on the last day! The sun rise was beautiful! The tour was great from start to end with everything being so easy (The hotel pick ups/drop offs, transportation to temples and flights)
