Excellent one day your in Luxor mahmoud haggag - This is a really good, enjoyable tour that takes you to the key attractions in Luxor east and west in a single day, which is perfect if you have a tight schedule. The guide and driver were really helpful and patient. Fully recommended.

The best guide Mahmoud haggag - We had a truly amazing time with Mo. We visited West and East bank of the Nile. Mo was extremely knowledgeable and patient as we were a family of 4 and sometimes we needed to go slow. Thanks, 5 stars 🌟

An amazing experience! - Guide Ali is really great! He is passionate, patient and takes the time to find us good deals while avoiding potential scams! We've got plenty in our eyes and recommend 1000%. The time was up too. All the other speakers (felucca captain, driver etc) were all very careful for us. We are still a little disappointed that we could not ride a hot air balloon because of the wind but it did not impact our great day. We recommend 👌🏻

Have a nice cruise - Have a nice cruise, nice guides but can be a bit fast in the timing. To go deeper, a good paper guide on Egypt can help. Good organization. We're completely taken care of. Be careful you have to get up early for the ball and Abu Simble. (3:30 in the morning). The balloon experience was impressive and pretty but dangerous for me considering the number of balloons (one balloon was even drilled and they had to land in an emergency). Communication is exclusively with Whatsapp and you are asked for photos of your passport that will circulate for all guides. It’s still very artisanal and not really secure but it’s like Egypt: a big bazaar that works well and very nice people.

Very good, but never a moment of serenity - We booked this trip through GetYourGuide, very good scoring. Good side, the cruise they chose for us (Nile Palace) was outstanding, people were very very nice and we felt loved and welcomed. My girlfriend is lactose intolerant, and the all the restaurant staff took very good care of her. Really a top service. Also, the first two guides we had (Adam, Gabriel) were outstanding. Knowledgeable, reliable, funny and they made the difference. To be honest, you could see they were Egyptologist by background; there was an abyss between them and the other guides we had. If you get any them, you are in golden hands. However, there are multiple negative sides of this experience. The first one which is totally on the company side: information sharing was never very positive and this made the whole experience very tiring, and continuously stressful as we had no timely information on what to expect. We repetitively send them WhatsApp messages that were never replied. Probably we was unlucky, and our contact point (Mohra) was poor in doing his/her job but this made us feel totally unsupported. I know of others that received good online support. In addition, I would advise to keep always your guard up and do not trust anyone. Other guides we had tried to trick us somehow, and this was not very nice. Overall, the company is not bad, the tour is unforgettable but they should improve a few aspects and select their partners as this makes the difference and directly affects the quality of their business.

A scam!!! - We were looking forward to this cruise but it was a great disappointment. Day 1: When we arrive no lunch... Day 2: We had booked the paid option to have a French guide but no French guide..., 1 hour late leaving the boat to go to Abu Simbel (little info the trip to duration 4h while it was announced 2h), arrived still no guide in French... We were not allowed lunch... back to the boat too late 4pm, we had to catch up with the boat that had not waited for us (we were a group of thirty), we had to take a small fishing boat to reach our boat, but our boat was not high enough and the crew had to lift us by pulling on our arms... In the evening, due to our delay, the guided tour to Kom Ombo was cancelled, with the group of latecomers we insisted in front of the boat doors to let us out and we managed alone once again!!! Day 3: No carriage at the exit of the boat, we went to the temple of Edfou alone without guide and in total insecurity on foot at 5am and back in the same conditions. Evening arrival in Luxor, visit the temple always without guide and alone Day 4: Raised 4h for the hot air balloon, the appointment was at 6:40, but we received it in info only at 6:17!!! The guide arrived but did not want to take us because he did not have our names on his list!!! So we decided to visit Karnak still alone. We asked to do the balloon flight the next day but Nice Tours did nothing to help us tell us that the flights were cancelled (knowing that the other tour operators had done so...) Finally by complaining Nice Tours sent us a francophone guide around 10am, she left us at 2pm in the restaurant with the driver. Arrival at the hotel. If we have to make a point about Nice Tour: they are lamentable! No information, a guide at the beginning and at the end between nothingness ... These are some of our adventures during the cruise What a disappointment for our family Thank you Nice Tours for your incompetence.

No reliability. Pass your way - Very bad experience, go your way. We had booked a stay with Nice tour, which they cancelled 3 days before our departure without any alternative proposal. As a result, we ended up with our flight to Egypt and nothing planned on the spot, forced to organize everything at the last moment, with the prices that go with it. They don't give a damn about you, they're totally unreliable.
