Wonderful trip through Egypt - The trip was very well organised and everything was provided as promised. We had taken a 10 day trip on Egypt including Cairo, Alexandria, Aswan, Luxor including a Nile river cruise of 3 nights. It was a wonderful experience and very comfortable at every step of the trip.

A Full 5 stars experience! - Mr Khaled from Nile Holiday is a very friendly person and took care of us in all our visit to Egypt, we went on a familiar trip for 5 nights / 6 days and from day one of our trip until last day, he and his team help us with absolutely everything, I heard in the past some excellent recommendations from this company, but being there with Nile Holiday and their awesome team, is a complete exciting experience and I have no words to thanks him for this amazing trip.
We were in a lot of places, Giza, Luxor, Aswan, Museums, a lot of temples, markets, we knew a lot about the country and the people, and in every place we felt really safe and happy with the people guiding us through all the travel.
I really hope to be back there with my family and, for sure, we will planning the trip with this amazing team from Nile Holiday and specially with Mr Khaled, because we had more than a 5 stars trip, we had a really lifetime experience!!
Thanks everyone for attending me and my family on this awesome trip!

Satisfied Nile cruise and tour guide in Egypt - My friend and I used services from Nile Holiday in Luxor for our 3 night Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. Mr. Khaled, the tour manager was very responsive to our requests. He got us a room on the 3rd floor. Mr. Hesham, the tour guide was at the airport when we arrived at Aswan airport. Hesham has a good sense of humor and provided us great tours to temples and tombs and shared with us knowledge about Egyptian culture and people. The cruise is ( MS travita) is a bit old but staff are great, very friendly and dedicated. Food is ok.
