Good tour. - Although the cruise ship was quite old, the cabin was comfortable, the food was good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The tour guide Khaled El saady was very knowledgeable and informative, but sometimes it was hard to hear him. Some of the temples were very busy, but he managed not to lose anyone. Overall, it was a good tour.

Great Sailing experience - Amazing trip. We had great time sailing and the service provided by cruise was great. We had our tour guide as Mr Tallat who made our trip great by explaining in his own unique way the history of great Egyptians temples. Mr Tallat is amazing and humorous as guide. I truly recommend this cruise.

Amazing - Tata Guide was the Best! - The Cruise is perfect. You don't need yo pay much to have a great times!! You can come alone, with family, friends as entertainment is guaranteed. Food is included and it has many options! Transfer to the temples is also included! The only thing to improve on the cruise is the Wifi. With regards to our Guide Tata (Talaat), he was extra kind and explained a lot about the history inside and outside the temples. This trip is highly recommended!!

Awful experience with an awful tour guide. - During my birthday week I decided to join this cruise (boat name: Queen isis) so I could learn more about the egiptian history while stoping in the many temples they have along the Nile. The ship inside (except the lobby) looked quite old specially the carpets, however for positive points the rooms were clean and the kitchen staff was very warm and friendly and did not try to beg for tips. One of the problems of this trip was the fact that they do not provide for water (which should be the minimum for a 5 star cruise). We have to buy on board for 2-4 dollars or we can go outside and buy for cheaper price in a very sketchy unsafe place. This is ridiculous because no one should pay for water while on a 5 star cruise specially since in my booking, it does not say wether drinks or water is inclusive, nor feeling unsafe and having kids asking you for money or food constantly when you try to buy water. However if we ignore this, the main problem that destroyed the trip and the other travelers was the tour guide. The guy was very scammy from the start. This person shouldn’t be allowed to work as a tour guide specially in a 5 star hotel. I understand that the tour guide is managed by an agency since he is a freelancer and not directly with the boat. He started on the first day saying to give him 100€ for the temples (which is fine because is actually the prices for all the temples) plus 25€ on tips per person for the staff. We thought it was weird for him to request us to pay up hand this amount because according to my egiptian friends and also from my traveling experience you should give a tip if you like it not because someone asks you. I told him no and said that I would only tip if I liked someone’s service. Through the 4 days he was bothering everyone to pay 25€ each for the tip everyone was pissed because he was constantly asking people on WhatsApp to give the tip. On the 3rd day he asked to speak individually with everyone for us to give a good review of him in a platform in which he has his profile where agencies ask him to provide him for a job associated with a specific boat. It’s crazy. For the last day he said to everyone to give him an extra tip because the tip that he asked in the first day was for the boat staff and was not for him. everyone was enraged and complained to the managment. The Asian tourists did not understand English and were upset because in the end they gave 50€ tip. I could speak more examples on how he scammed other people that were in the group and complained but this review would be even longer. We spent in the end 100€ each (200€ total) more for this awful experience. Never again. Do not recommend.
