<p>I booked the cruise for me, my family and some friends and we all have the same comment, WE REALLY LOVE IT!<br/>
The representative from the Tree of Life company, Mr. Ahmed Maged pick us up in our accommodation on time and had the patient to wait for a little while for us to be ready. We were comfortably seated in an air conditioned van and was assassinated on the cruise ship. He show us our table and allow us to have a few minutes to check the area and the top deck. He was really helpful and offer to took our photo.<br/>
Thank you Ahmed for the assistance :</p>

<p>Tree of Life is a professional company. We were spoiled by Ahmed Maged and he was fabulous. He contacted us several hours prior to the cruise to confirm the pick up time at our hotel. Unfortunately, we were behind schedule and he accomodated us by meeting us at the cruise location. He ensured that we had the correct location and directions. He was professional, sincere, and ensured we had a good time on the cruise. The food was endless and tasty! The entertainment kept my attention from the belly dancer, singing, and table top dancer. I would recommend Tree of Life and Ahmed Maged to any future tourist. You will have a wonderful time.</p>

<p>Our guide was named Ashraf. Most guides of the city work as freelancers. So, regardless of what tour company you use, ask for Ashraf.<br/>
He was knowledgeable and friendly. Learned a lot from him.</p>

<p>Great Experience. Tour pick up was at 6pm but boat cruise starts at 7.30pm and lasted approximately 2 hours. Live entertainment on board including belly dancing and singing. It was great fun on board. Very lively and amusing. Dinner was good too. A good buffet selection including fish and chicken. Would definitely do it again.</p>

This is to ensure our guests can correctly budget their time for the full experience, including travel time, not just the tour experience itself. We are sorry to hear this tour did not meet your expectations but hope you were still able to enjoy your overall time in Cairo.</p>

<p>The show inside the boat was great! The food was delicious! The only problem was that it lasted one hour and a half, not three hours! I felt that it was too expensive for such a short cruise.</p>

<p>The pick up time suppose to be at 6 pm, however, it was moved 1 hour earlier, luckily i had read the email earlier to know the change. Other than that, the transfer was smooth, and our tour guide was onsite to cater for our request while we enjoy the cruise and the show. The food was good and i would recommend it.</p>

<p>My host Migo was by far the most entertaining guide I experienced in my trip to Cairo. Although I was late to my appointment He graciously waited for me and my travel companions. On the way to the Nile we had wonderful conversations and he showed himself to me a extraordinary guide and friend.</p>
