Amazing jam packed trip with a great tour guide! - Had an amazing time on our cruise! The staff were all very friendly, the food was great and our tour guide was amazing. Everything was planned and he knew so much information and was a pleasure to spend our time with. Can only say good things about our experience- it truly was an epic 4 days! The sights were amazing and the hot air balloon is something that cannot be missed. Be ready for some early mornings and jam packed days!

Great "all you can see" cruise - Amazing cruise! Guide was great, very knowledgeable, answering all the questions and explaining egyptian history, from old kingdom to roman empire. This is an "all you can see" cruise, expect to wake up early. But definitely worth it, we've been in May and there was almost no one (or even no one at all) early mornings in the temple. Definitely recommend!

Unforgettable Nile Cruise - This trip was amazing. I was on the Hapi lV and our tour guide was Mahmoud Amin. He had excellent communication with us throughout the entire trip and was very easy going. He accommodated all of our requests. The food on the boat was great! Especially the breakfast. I highly recommend booking this tour.

Good but can improve - The trip was good! However, some things can be improved. - Boxed breakfasts: we left very early to go to the temple, and received a box to eat on the road. However, the quality was very bad. - Obligation to pay tips: At the beginning of the trip, the guide informed us about the tips and gave us the option to pay $19 per person for the tips for the entire trip. I preferred pay by myself, but during the trip I felt pressured by the guide to pay. I understand it’s a cultural things in Egypt, but I’m not comfortable to be pressed, because I already pay to the service and I’m not obligate to pay tips if I didn’t receive a good service. Additionally, it wasn’t clear how the $19 would be distributed. - Noise on the cruise: On our first night, we needed to wake up at 03:00 AM, but around 22:00, a show started upstairs in the bar and the acoustic were poor, so we had difficulty sleeping the first night.

Wonderful sights, confusing process…. - We love the scenery and the cultural experience however the communication of itinerary and activities is very poor….. which creates uncertainty, low value for money and frustration….
