Perfect Tour for Me – One of My Best Experiences - I can’t complain about anything on this tour—it was perfect and incredibly well-organized. From the moment I booked, the agent proactively reached out with all the details: what to bring, things to note, what to expect, the daily itinerary, and even asked if I had any special requests. The hotel pick-up to the cruise was on time. The cabin on the cruise was clean, spacious, and had an amazing window view. The sundeck was well-maintained, and the food was decent—even if you get tired of local dishes. The price of water on board was reasonable, so I felt a bit silly for bringing so much myself. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and gave a lot of detailed information about each attraction. The crew was friendly, and I especially appreciated the transparency regarding tips. I have no issue with tipping since "Baksheesh" has been an integral part of Egyptian culture for centuries. What I really liked was how the tour guide clearly communicated what the reasonable tip amounts were for each service. This made the experience much smoother—unlike other tours where I’ve seen tourists argue with drivers or guides over tipping, like in Edfu, where the coachman thought the tip was too low. However, if you’re looking for more time to explore each attraction, this might not be the tour for you—it’s a bit rushed, but it covers everything. If you're passionate about Egyptian culture and want to take your time at each site, consider a 7-day tour or longer. Also, meals are served quite late every day, so if that bothers you, a longer tour might be a better choice. One last tip: bring a mask. The air in Egypt can be very polluted, which could cause headaches or make you feel unwell. But despite that, every sight is truly amazing and unlike anything else, so it's definitely worth it.

Amazing Nile cruise experience - The organizers were absolutely amazing and the entire experience went so smoothly. Mona (the coordinator) was in continuous contact with me ensuring everything was going to plan. I found this extremely appreciative and refreshing. Our tour guide (Owfie) was a blessing, he was so insightful and knowledgeable about everything. His friendliness and kindness was infectious and this trip was only as brilliant as it was because of Mona and especially Owfie. I highly recommend this experience for everyone.

Great cruise, meals, guide, cars, timing. Bargain at this quality. - I prefer to travel with no agencies involved. Having said that, this one was well above the expectations - professional communication, all activities very on time, one of the best boats around with nice room, facilties, great food, solid personel, one of the best tour guides (Ahmed Abass), brand new cars with professional drivers. We were a group of 12 people and it felt nice.

The most proffesional Egypt tours company - This tour is a 10/10. Bassant is the best tour organized I've ever had. I found her after I had booked a similar tour with another Viator affiliate and they cancelled the tour 2-3 days prior to the booking start time. The ship is great, the guide is awesome and the most important they are a reliable company. Everything was perfect. Thank you Bassant you are your team are amazing.

Memorable cruise on the Nile - This 3 night cruise was amazing. Full of visits and great organization from all the guides. The highlight was the hot air balloons on the West Bank of Luxor on top of the Valleys of the Kings and Queens. Best experience ever! Thanks to the 2 guides named Mohammad, Sam.

3 Night Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan - This cruise was amazing!! Our tour guide, Ahmed was very informative and available to answer all of my questions. Though visiting the Temples accomplished my goals for the trip, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Nubian Village. The 45 minute boat ride across the Nile to the Village was peaceful, picturesque, and overwhelming enjoyable. I’m going to remember this trip for the rest of my life.
