Simply awesome - An excellence 4 day trip con Luxor to Assusn and sail to Abu Simbel; on the Nile cruise ship we felt in good hands and were well looked after. There was for us a German guide who was provided to us at the temples and explained everything really well to us and had also explained this with great love, the highlight was Abu Simbel - if you come around the bend and see the temples right on Lake Nasersee, pure goose bumps; Thanks to everyone and the entire crew
