Ahmed thank you thank you - This boy has been very helpful. He picked us up at the starting point and was delightful from start to finish. He took us to the most important temples in Luxor and a few places. He was very helpful and later transported us to the cruise ship. He was very clear and concise when explaining everything. Thank you so much.

Excellent! the best summarized and complete tour of the Nile - The experience was very nice! I totally recommend it, it is a summarized and complete tour of everything there is to know by cruise on the Nile, from Luxor to Aswan, our Nice Tours travel guide was Arwa, attentive to every moment no matter the time and communicating with us to guide us, she made the experience much more personalized, and our transportation and guides in each place were very responsible and punctual. We couldn't do the balloon because of the wind, it wasn't the tour's fault. I recommend to Take 2 days in Aswan when tour finish, is a beautiful City.

Very nice cruise - We did the 3 days/2 nights cruise with departure and return to Hurghada. Superb experience, very rich, majestic places, sublime view in a hot air balloon at sunrise. Please note (at least from Hurghada) the pace is very very steady, sometimes difficult you should know: long roads and sometimes at night (departure at midnight on the first day). But hey, it’s worth it! Especially Abu Simbel! The guides were relevant. Everything is well organized, the follow-up with Zeinab - Nice Tours was perfect, very responsive and attentive. We paid around €600 per person. Everything is included except: tour entrances, tips and water (a little surprising in a hot country with no drinking water). Allow around €100 more per person. The Marquise boat was very good, the cabin quite spacious, restaurant with choice and flavors, swimming pool small but pleasant when it is hot. Great spa/massage service, highly recommended! A few details to correct to improve the experience (shared with them), be careful not to get fooled on site, but overall it was great!

Scam - Don't fall for it - In the middle of the night before a 4 day cruise depart they simple canceled. We had been talking about details (whatsapp) and everything was confirmed just the day before. They canceled and blocked my number. It is a four days activity nothing you can replace last minute so we ended up not taking any cruise.
