  The guide was pretty bad. Once he saw that we were not interested in shopping at the places he wanted to go, he passed us by. In Abu Simbel we went on our own because no guide showed up - which we were grateful for - and the only important thing on the cruise is to tip the whole boat. On the cruise the only important thing is to tip the whole ship. It is understood that tips are given for the service received. We stayed two days and they asked us for 50 euros per person in tips Of course we refused to give that amount and they gave us a very bad face and we had some unpleasant discussion. I understand that you have to go with an agency for these trips but in the end you pay everything yourself, tickets, tips nothing is included except transportation The guide is dispensableShow more

  The cruise was one of the highlights of our vacation in Egypt, sailing down the Nile was gorgeous. Staff, organization, rooms, food, everything was top notch. Hatem, our guide, was super helpful, he did his best to keep us informed about everything and was always ready to answer any question about all the wonderful temples we visited. The room was super comfy, you'll love to lay back and relax while watching the scenery go by.Show more

  Our cruise down the Nile was exceptional. The views from the deck of the boat and out of the large picture windows in our suites were breath taking. But, the best part of our tour was our guide. Hatem was amazing. His attention to detail and pure enjoyment in sharing his history with you makes this journey exciting and truely amazing. He brings with him years of knowledge, but in addition to this he is conversational, encouraging question and thoroughly enjoying answering and interacting with his guests. His attention to detail makes this excursion truely enjoyable and memorable.Show more

  Day 3-7 began our time aboard the Nile Crown III with our tour guide Mr. Tarek. He picked us up from the train station without delay. While we missed Hagar, we immediately knew we had found a jewel with Mr. Tarek. Over the next 4 days we saw some of the most amazing temples and structures from Aswan to Luxor. The cruise was wonderful (cruising on the Nile!!! Can you believe it??). The cabins were more spacious than on the larger ocean cruise ships and while no balcony, we could open the large sliding-glass window and prop our feet on the railing as we watched Egypt roll by. The staff on the ship were all very friendly and most spoke English (and German!). We jam packed our time on the ship and had tours beginning early in the morning almost every day. Mr. Tarek was always prompt and respectful of our time. He is extremely knowledgeable; it is like having a professor for a tour guide. He had the answer to every question we asked and gave us background information peppered with tons of interesting tidbits that can only be cultivated with a lifetime of research and experience. He not only provided us with a never-ending supply of information, but he also welcomed our questions, often thanking us for asking things and taking time to make sure that we understood the answers. I’m a little ashamed to say that he talked himself almost hoarse answering all our questions, but he never once hesitated at the opportunity to teach us about his country’s unbelievable history. He knew exactly where to go to see things not shown on the standard tours and the perfect places to stop and get pictures. We saw other tour guides, and while I’m sure they were very good, we felt like VIPs with insider access to every single place we visited. Not only was he an amazing tour guide, but we also quickly felt like family as he checked on us every step of the way (even making sure we made it back to America safely). He was very efficient, providing a game plan for the following day each night so we knew where to be at what time and what to expect. He was never in a rush and encouraged us to take our time and really experience the special places we visited. On the one day we had a sub tour guide for an experience, he checked in often to make sure we were enjoying our time and were being taken care of. We felt like we had a constant lifeline in a country far from home and it gave us peace of mind so we could fully immerse ourselves in the experiences Egypt had to offer. Mr. Tarek was so accommodating that we only had to mention a thing that we wanted to do or see, and he would arrange it like magic. Many of his suggestions for our free time were things that even the locals enjoy doing (Banana Island for example). This provided some authentic Egyptian experiences along with the touristy things and it made us feel closer to the people and we learned some of the culture instead of just seeing the sights. This was a 10-star experience and we are already planning our return trip as soon as possible. We enjoyed every single minute of the time we spent in Aswan and Luxor and feel like we have made a lifelong friend in Mr. Tarek.Show more

  The best part was our guide Ahmed. He is very knowledgeable and really knows the country and the people. If you have the option ask for him. Over 5 days he took us to 10 wonderful places each just as amazing as the last. He handled transportation and gave options as we went. We felt very safe. He was flexible with time and such a great person, so happy to have met him and if we come back to Egypt we will ask for him.Show more
