    We had a wonderful time but it was not necessarily because the cruise was up to standard. A very old ship, mediocre/poor food, and absolutely ZERO organization on the part of the tour operator. The tour should have been 3 days 2 nights rather than 5 days 4 nights and we still would have covered the same ground. A day is wasted sleeping in the boat both in Luxor and Aswan when you’d be better suited on your own, in my opinion (for the $ involved). Not all bad though - good service for the most part. Great stops. And cruising on the Nile is bound to be beautiful regardless of anything else. Price was competitive so all in all I think 3 stars is fair. I probably would not book again, but would try to find a shorter Nile cruise and save money/time by managing my own affairs/getting independent guides in Luxor and Aswan.

    The tour in general was really amazing and surpassed our expectations! In the following some aspects: Positive: - Well equipped cruise ship with pool and bar on the top, perfect room with view on the Nile and surroundings, amazing food (far better than expected) - Nice places to visit (Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Assuan), the guides were great (especially Khalid and Ida) and provided interesting information, - Small groups throughout the guided tours (infact, it was mostly one guide for just the two of us) - Organization and planning of the stops and tours was good - Friendly and helpful stuff aboard Negative: - Horse carriage to the Edfu temple (maybe if you insist you don't have to take it) - Every day-tour includes a stop at a touristic place (jewelry, papyrus, alabaster, perfume shops..), where you sometimes have the uncomfortable feeling you need to buy something

    We had a great time on the cruise and stopped off at some of the most amazing sites along the way. Our guide Khaled was amazing and so knowledgeable about any questions we had along the way. It’s a great way to see the variety of sceneries of Egypt.

    Boat was just OK, no where near a 5 star experience. Booked a three person room as this was a good option for our party, the reality is they just squeeze a cot into a conventional two bed room, making it more crowded. If boat does not have true three room options, don't advertise it that way.

    The BEST thing was our guide Khaled. He is very knwledgeable and very kind. The triple room on the boot was really a doble, so very small. The food on the boat was ok.

    My experience with this tour has been great! We have covered all the main sights to see in Egypt. Which are even better in person than I’d imagined. Khaled our tour guide is very knowledgable and has made our trip very memorable and fun . I especially enjoyed that Khaled explained the history of ancient Egypt in great detail but he also showed us modern Egypt. Visiting Egypt is definitely worth it. I will remember this trip for life.

    We had Khaled as the tour guide from Aswan to Luxor on the Nile Cruise. Khaled was helpful when requiring assistance during the trip. The trip overall was very good and i really enjoyed seeing all of the sights. My favourites are Abu Simbal and Luxor Temple. We also went on a lovely horse carriage ride around the city of Luxor. Luxor was bustling during the night with markets for lots of food and we had a lovely sugar cane drink.

    Khaled the tour guide was good. Temples were interesting. I especially enjoyed the Luxor complex and the Valley of the Kings. The temples were extremely crowded and this took away from the enjoymebt of the experience. The food on the cruise liner was good. There was lots of variety. The cruise liner was called the Renaissance and is in need of a Renaissance. The decor needs updating and the rooms were a little shabby.

    Aside from some communication issues and 1 bad tour guide (other 4 were wonderful), I had a blast. So much to see and do on this trip. They cruise staff was more than attentive, food/buffet style was ok, and the last night’s entertainment was fabulous.
