What people love about Nile Cruises
- 4 Days 3 nights 5 stars Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor
My wife and I travel two times a year to a new country each time. This was the top three places that we have been. Our guide. Ahmed Kassem was one of the best tour guides we have ever had in all of our trips. He was very knowledgeable and was genuinely concerned with everyone’s enjoyment, and that no one got separated from the group. We felt very safe everywhere we went whether it was at an archaeological site or just on the streets.

The trip on the Nile cruise was great. The staff was very polite and very supportive. A huge variety was provided for the food for lunch and for dinner. Even breakfast boxes were prepared if the trips for the day started earlier. Also the organization to the cruise and to the hotels after was taken care of perfectly. In general, the individual planning for each person was on point. When the staff found out that it was our honeymoon, they went beyond and decorated our room. We even got a cake. The pool was very cold but we enjoyed it a lot. It was never too busy on the rooftop. We had great people in our group and loved to spend time with them during the trip. Our guide Ahmed Kassem was doing his best to keep us informed, happy and safe. We appreciated his effort a lot. For the Edfu temple visit, all the boats went at the same time so it was very crowded. Maybe the operator could try to plan this a bit differently. The wifi needs to be improved (and free of charge) and the shower was leaking at one point which led to a wet bathroom floor. Also the variety of the drinks could be a bit more. But this is critic on a high level. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely do it again.
