It was disappointing that drinking water was not readily available and complimentary. We had time to get off the cruise and buy some at regular prices but was that necessary? The tours were nice but you have very little time to explore on your own. The vendors and carriages to and from the sites are relentless even when tipped. Towards the end they hand you an envelope with your room number and track how much you’re tipping into their pool. Our tour guide wanted to sell us several additional tours but once he found out we’d look into exploring on our own stopped responding to our inquiries or being helpful. I didn’t really feel seen as a guest but more as a dollar, euro or pound sign.Show more

Hello Thank you for your message, we totally appreciate your concern about the drinks and water, but as it's mentioned clearly in the itinerary the drinks are excluded from the itinerary, also we promise to open an investigation with the guide if he wasn't helpful and will ask other travelers on the same tour if they confirm the same issue we promise to take a serious action against him it may reach to stopping from work with us to 1 year. we are so sorry for the not good points in your experience and your feedback helped us so much to know the details to improve it. Please don't hesitate to contact us at any time if you need any help or assistance or have any questions. Andy Egyptology Travel

Hello Thank you for your feedback we totaly appreciate it, about the early visit for edfu temple unfortunately we can't make it later because we are visiting according the sailing schedule but simply if the traveler thinks it's not not necessary to visit the temple he can skip it very easily, about the drinks it's mentioned sir that drinks are excluded in the itinerary, can you suggest us any advice to make this information more clear to the traveler, unfortunaltely all the boats exclude drinks. Your feedback is so helpful and helped us so much to improve our selves. Please don't hesitate to contact us at any time if you need any help or assistance or have any questions.

We had a very pleasant time on our cruise. We think it's a fantastic way to travel around between the citiess. Easy and fun! The boat food was buffet style and a nice selection of dishes; the desserts could be much better however. The staff was extremely friendly as well on the boat. Our guide was fantastic and so wonderful about ideas and arrangements. We aren't 'cruise' people so 2 nights was perfect for us. This cruise has a massage therapist who was also very nice.Show more
