Amazing tour! Totally recommend Khaled El Saady - Guide: Khaled El Saady The tour was amazing, Khaled was friendly, well connected, and solved every challenge we faced. He gave the extra mile and gave us an amazing experience… he’s a true problem solver, a great Egyptologist, and a good friend! We had some issues with the Viatur original booking where they split my family into two cruises, we met Khaled and he sort out all the day activities for us so we could spend every minute together! Thanks Khaled, you giving the extra mile made our trip ten times better and way more enjoyable!

The tour with knowledgeable tour guide was amazing! - I really enjoyed this tour. We visited lots of beautiful places around Aswan and Luxor. Our tour guide, Mohamed Gobran told us lots of stories and histories related to the temples we visited. It was really interesting. But also he gave us enough free time to take a picture or stroll by ourselves in those places so that we fully enjoyed the tour. He collected the entrance fee for all places beforehand so we didn’t need to wait in a line to buy any tickets. The cruise ship was really nice and the room was clean. Every meals were delicious, most of the drinks were not free tho. Only downside is that we need to wake up really early every day to visit temples to stroll under cool weather. Anyway, if you want to enjoy the tour with knowledgeable tour guide and enough free time, I highly recommend you to take this tour.

Great cruise and visits to the historic sites. - We had a great cruise. The facilities and food on the boat were better than expected and it was the right balance of trips to the sites and relaxing on-board. Mohammed Gobran was an excellent tour guide, answering all of our questions and arranging an additional site that we particularly wanted to see.
