It was very well organized. The boat was better than expected, the food was better than expected. The eggs at breakfast were freshly made (if you had time to go to breakfast... usually you left at 4 or 5), there were 0815 food at dinner, but you also had very good food, fresh fish e.g. It was great that you always had the same guide throughout the trip, ours had a very great knowledge. To understand everything you should read in advance a little :D The Nile cruise is definitely a must in Egypt in my opinion and you definitely got what you booked. You have to keep in mind that all admissions of the sights come on top, which is clear, if you read the description... I did not :D Ahmed was a great tour guide, would give him 11/10 points.
The reason why I picked this company is because they always communicated with me on WhatsApp. Everyone was really nice and helpful. I have never been on a cruise before. It was one fun thing after another.
Really enjoyed the cruise! We got to see many sites including temples and historical areas Pros: not having to coordinate travel to/from sites, getting to see big highlights like Valley of the Kings and Abu Simbel, common facilities were very nice Cons: food was hit or miss, not up front of certain prices, schedule/itinerary changes without notification (papyrus shop, perfume factory, and alabaster store), boat maintenance (window wouldn't lock, bathroom tiles broken)
Dear, our customer Thank you so much for taking the time to write us a review on Viator. It seems you copied a review from someone else with things that never happened with you. We would like to confirm that nothing had been changed in your itinerary. You and your family were joining a group of travelers who are booking 5-Days 4-Nights Cruise from Luxor To Aswan and they did all the tours with you till Abu Simbel trip and they had an extra night left on the cruise while you checked out on the 4th.day. After the Abu Simbel trip, you went on a private tour to Philae temple while the others opt to add the optional tour to the Nubian Village. So, their schedule was different than yours however nothing had been changed in your itinerary. Our tour guides didn't take you to the Papyrus or Perfume shops because you already did that in Cairo with a different company ( NOT With Us). Only a stop at the Alabaster factory, where you took a drink and nobody forced you to buy Anything and you didn't buy!!. Your cabin was at the Upper deck and we checked with and all was well as you mentioned on the whatsapp chat. Best Regards
I appreciated the carefully constructed itinerary and the convenience of having an agent coordinating all the different tours and moving parts. The guides were excellent and I always felt welcomed. Hatem was particularly great, given his exceptional knowledge, passion, and friendliness. Our tour operator, Heba Haggag, was also amazing. She was responsive and eager to make sure we were always having a good time. We appreciated her kindness and the thoughtful gift. Our only concern on the trip was for some of the carriage horses in Edfu. Some appeared clearly in poor health and my girlfriend was saddened by the experience. Egypt is amazing place and we won’t soon forget this trip. Thanks for everything!
Everything great!! The boat was fantastic, with pool and very good food. Both the waiters and the cooks and crew members are very friendly. Our guide Sabry explained the whole history of Egypt very well. It made us look at details that we didn’t know and we were very curious. The balloon ride was spectacular, an amazing experience. I highly recommend this Enterprise.
We found ourselves very well especially for tour organization and guide in Italian who explained very well what we saw. His name is Ahmed Sami
The trip was amazing with a very good ship and careful crew. The food and accommodations were 5 star. The guide Mostafa Abdo knows a lot about all the temples and explained in details many things that made the trip unforgettable. Despite the heat of July we could enjoy everything!! I highly recommend the agency as Heba helped during all steps and communicated with us the entire trip.
I expected the Nile river cruise to be wonderful and it did not disappoint. There was the majesty of the ancient 3 to 4000 year old temples and ruins, the beauty of the meandering Nile river with its green fertile banks and timeless faces of the Egyptian people. I have been on over 10 cruises across the world as well as the river cruises in castle area of Germany. The cruise ship had good food, happy faces of the staff, and good service. The ship does not cater to typical excesses of major cruise lines in terms of spa, gym, restaurant variety and other entertainment but well served it's primary function. Most unexpected was the dedicated Egyptologist guide, HOSSAM RASHWAN who was with us 3 complete days of the trip. He personally micro managed our itinerary, transportation needs, off ship tours and even catered to basic requests to stop at a supermarket, go to the ATM, find restaurants or expedite special shopping desires. He was all-knowing, caring and directive in creating the best experience possible for us. His expertise was readily apparent in Egyptology, he speaks at least 5 different languages, and he endeavored to answer all questions and interests. The guides on these types of cruises are typically contracted by the ship/local tour company and therefore you are able to make requests as well as privately contract the guide for services. This is really what topped our experiences and gave us complete comfort in our safety and his guarantee of a successful event.
We were on the Le Fayan cruise and wow! It blew us away! I would recommend everyone to take this boat on the Nile Cruise! As for our day trip guide, Hossam was the most amazing guide. He treated us better than family. He made sure we got to our train in time and even brought us dinner! Take the Le Fayan cruise and make you get Hossam as your guide!! You won’t regret it!
Completely recommend for anyone considering going to Egypt! Every detail was taken care of thoughtfully and the entire trip was stress free. I cannot say enough how communicative, attentive, and kind our guide Ahmed was. We had so much fun learning about Egypt and exploring all of the temples. Ahmed also was super helpful providing us options for the different days, and having flexibility for the itinerary.
