5-Days 4-Nights Cruise from Luxor to Aswan including Hot Air Balloon&Abu Simbel

The views from the deck of the boat were simply beautiful. You could also relax in your room watching out the huge picture windows. Our guide for the tours, Hatem was amazing. His knowledge and enthusiasm in sharing his country's vast and rich history with his guests truely adds richness to your journey. This is an experience you don't want to miss. I do not know if you can request a guide but if you can you will be more than happy with Hatem from Egypt Gift Tours.

We organised a family trip to Egypt through Heba from Nile Gift Tours. Heba made the process remarkably easy for us with excellent communications and clear answers for us, and gave us accurate information at all times. The 5 days, 4 nights cruise was a wonderful introduction to the history and sights of ancient Egypt from Luxor down to Aswan and then to Abu Simbel. We all had great cabins and the staff on the cruise boat were very friendly and helpful. The food was plentiful and our grandkids loved the desserts!! Our guide Hatem was with us the entire length of the cruise. He was friendly, kind and very knowledgeable. He spoke excellent English and was able to explain the history of the temples that we were visiting in a way that was understood by us all… (ages ranging from 7 to 75!!) We would highly recommend Heba from Egypt Gift Tours and the five days, four nights Nile cruise. The Luxor Balloon flight was a brilliant addition, not to be missed!! In all the Nile Cruise was a wonderful family adventure that we will all remember for a very long time.

It was an amazing experience made possible by the dedication of Hebe from Egypt Gift Tours. She answered all our queries before the trip- even when it was late at night Egypt time. She made sure that we got the best cabins and the best hot air balloon experience . From beginning to end she looked after us in a friendly and professional way. Hatem, our guide was excellent. He was knowledgeable and passionate about his work. He was very organised and made sure that we knew what we were doing each day. His explanations were interesting and he even made it fun for our grandchildren aged 9 & 7. Thank you Hebe and Hatem for making my 70 birthday celebration so memorable. I would highly recommend Egypt Gift Tours.

It was wonderful! I highly encourage everyone that wants to live a great experience. Well organized, and always on top of schedule.

Had a wonderful time in this route Luxor —> Aswan 4N/5D. The program is full but not overwhelming so you get plenty of time to rest and still see everything without having to rush. Mohamed el Khady was an amazing guide, explained everything in a fun engaging way and left us enough time to explore the sites on our own. He has great photography skills too! Heba, who’s handling the whatsapp was absolutely great and one of the main reasons why I picked this tour. She helped me build my itinerary, everything was handled smoothly, she regularly checked up on me and made the trip safe for a solo traveller. 100% recommended.

We've had a great time in Egypt with 'Here Egypt Tours'. Bassant was fantastic as our agent and kept us advised of arrangements every step of the way. Everyone who handled our stay has been great. We had a fabulous guide, Mohamed Shakur for the entirety of the cruise portion of the trip. He was great, really knowledgeable, good humoured and interesting. He put lots of special touches in to our trip as well, like making sure we had breakfast to go on early trips etc. Made sure we knew when meal times were (all the notices were in French) etc. We cannot thank Mohamed enough for looking after us so well 😊 The boat crew on Serenity were also fantastic. Really attentive and hard working. I'm not sure they slept much 😂 I would highly recommend this trip and Mohamed as your guide.

An amazing trip made all the more brilliant thanks to our guide Mohamed Shakour! We did this trip as a birthday present for my wife and could not recommend it any higher. The boat was amazing, the food was delicious and the crew couldn’t be more helpful. Best of all was our tour guide Mohamed Shakour! He was brilliant! Knowledgeable, funny, friendly and went above and beyond for us. Every trip he took us to key locations and explained what we would see, showed us around then gave us free time to explore ourselves. He took us to a few places that weren’t included and made each trip so enjoyable. Best of all though, he arranged for the boat crew to surprise my wife with a birthday cake on the ship! I’m not sure if you can ask for a specific guide but if you can, ask for Mohamed. We was fantastic.

Mohamad Shakur has been amazing. Great knowledge and I like that he uses picture albums to explain/describe. He has been the best guide we have had. So thank you for arranging this with him. I would definitely use his services again and rate him a 10/10. It's been a wonderful experience.

We were guided by Mohamed Wafa who was amazing - knowledgeable and helpful! Our trip was filled with stories and history. By the end of it and when we came back to Cairo for other tours with Egypt Gift Tours (they are very responsive and well-organised - big shout out to Heba!), the other guide was quite surprised with how much we already knew, all thanks to Mohamed. The cruise was lovely also. We were on a boat called MS Opera and buffet meals were great.

Everything was amazing, Heba was always very helpful and organised all the trip for us. All the pickups where on time and we saw all the highlights. Special thanks to our guide Mohammed Shakour who was very attentive and gave very detailed explanations for the monuments. We could always count on him and he considered our preferences. He is also extremely friendly! Our cruise, Magic, was amazing and magical, crew was very friendly. The hot air ballon experience was unforgettable. Best trip ever.
