  Excellent tour on the Nile, just the right amount of days. Luxor to Aswan, lots of sightseeing but the stories told by our Guide Ahmet Kassem from Holiday In Egypt was the best, it brings everything to life and makes it so much more interesting. We had a small group and were fortunate to share with another couple who were really great. There is lots of temples and monuments to see but also local houses, egyptian ways of life from past to present that were interesting. Egypt is a great country, it's really safe and very friendly as tourism is so important to thwir economy. You will be treated like a VIP everywhere you go. We never felt hassled or uncomfortable at all like we heard a little about before coming. Highly recommend this tour and to get a smaller group if you can so you have more quality time with the Guide like we did.they don't just tell the stories, they look after every part of your experience.Show more

  Dear Patrick, What a wonderful review — thank you for sharing your experience with such warmth and detail! We’re especially happy to hear that Ahmed Kassem was able to do more than simply explain the monuments. Bringing the stories, people, and history behind the temples to life is such an important part of experiencing the Nile, and your words perfectly capture what we hope our guides achieve. We also loved hearing that you enjoyed the quieter moments along the way — seeing local life, discovering how Egypt has changed through the years, and sharing the journey with a small group. The Nile is not only about ancient temples; it’s also about the people, landscapes, and everyday life along its banks. Your kind words about feeling welcomed, comfortable, and well looked after mean a great deal to our entire team. And we’re delighted that your small-group experience gave you the time and personal attention you were looking for. Thank you for recommending us and for trusting Holiday In Egypt with your journey. We hope the memories of sailing from Luxor to Aswan stay with you for a very long time — and perhaps one day, we’ll have the pleasure of welcoming you back aboard the Nile again! Warm regards, Reham Holiday In Egypt

  We were not sure what to expect as we had read some troubling reviews online about crowding and noise. Overall we would give this cruise high marks. Our tour group through Tour Radar was 8 people and a helpful guide who smoothed out any concerns. The facilities, while a bit dated, were in working order. We were greeted each night by a towel animal on the bed. We counted up to 10 cruise ships at the docks, you have to walk through them to get to your ship, but ours was generally one of the first couple. The food was okay, plentiful but not noteworthy. The salads and the desserts were the highlights. There is pretty much no entertainment at night, but we were tired after the tours. In a country where every hand is out for tips, the ship policy of just changing you up front was actually helpful. The staff was friendly. Concerns about diesel fuel smells and noise at night actually was not a problem. Do be careful when walking down the walkway at the port, lots of people out to seperate tourists from their money with a range of schemes and stories.Show more

  We had an amazing experience and would highly recommend! Our guide Ahmed Awad was extremely knowledgeable and taught us lots about the monuments we visited. The excursions were well planned, we were picked up on time in a private car and taken to the different monuments. Our guide Ahmed knew exactly how to get the most out of our tour, taking us past ques and showing us hidden areas with interesting history. Thanks a lot Ahmed!Show more

  Our guide Ahmed was amazing - he truly went above and beyond for us. The trip was well organised. The boat was nice and clean, although the AC didn't work in my room - even on heating it just blew cold air and my room was permanently at 17°C. The food was decent, although not a huge variety. It would have been good if there was free water, but I'm glad coffee was free in the morning (there's no kettle in the room). My only major complaint (and why I gave 4 stars instead of 5) is that I thought booking flights through the operator would make things stress free, but 48hrs before leaving I still didn't have details. It took asking 4 times in 1 day to finally get them (each time I was told they would get back to me soon, or by the end of the day - I finally messaged at 6pm and they sent them through).Show more

  This tour far exceeded our expectations in virtually every way. Tamer was a fantastic guide who was friendly yet firm when necessary. He made sure we were on schedule and had time to explore sites on our own after the overview tour at each stop. The cruise boat was much nicer than expected (and better appointed than it appears from the outside), and the buffet food was consistently excellent. The food is a good mix of Mediterranean, generic Middle Eastern (think Lebanese), and Egyptian specific food. Lots of healthy and vegetarian options as well. The only thing we would have wanted differently would be time in local markets, and not just pre- chosen/ directed stores that were consistently overpriced- even if the quality was high. Overall, we were thrilled with this tour and HIE (especially Tamer), and would recommend it to friends.Show more

  Our five days and four nights on this tour with Holiday in Egypt were by far the most enjoyable and informative of our time in Egypt. Each morning commenced with unmissable visits to fascinating historical sites, improved largely by the interactive information and stories provided by our wonderful guide, Mr Ahmed Ali. And then the afternoons were generally free to enjoy the cruise experience. From start to finish, the team at Holiday in Egypt openly communicated and organised each logistical detail for us behind the scenes. Thank you, most especially to Ahmed Ali. Your knowledge, energy and willingness to engage with us as a group is a rare gem and we will cherish this time!Show more

  Overall this tour was a great option if you want everything coordinated for you. Each day was action packed, early morning and evening activities to attempt to beat the heat but there were breaks during the day to rest and after dinner. The cruise allowed us to visit places we might have skipped otherwise. On the cruise itself rooms were clean, staff was accommodating and food was fine. There was a pool on the roof a spa and optional activities planned in the evening although we were mostly too tired to enjoy. We ended up walking through a lot of different cruise ships and they all seemed pretty similar. Hassan, our tour guide, was really awesome. Very knowledgeable, passionate about his country's history and shared personal stories from his experience as a local. He managed all the logistics and told us when & where we needed to be. The spots we went to were all really amazing and he shared the highlights we needed to know before giving us free time to explore. There were some fun surprises along the way and shops we got to stop in for souvenirs. He was very accommodating to our schedules and needs. The tour group was 15 people total which was much nicer and manageable than the larger groups we saw at the sites.Show more
