On day 7 I will not return to Cairo but stay in Luxor and make my own way from there on. Can you upgrade me to sleeping train without surcharge because I won't use the train back?

You will pay for the sleeper train one way only and you will pay the amount stated on the ticket.

In this tour you have in the header also mentioned Nile river cruise. In one of the pictures, I see a lady on a boat. On which day is this Nile tour? I couldn't find that information in the day-to-day information.

Embarkation is on the same day you arrive to Aswan after the day tour

The communication with the organization was very good. They were super accessible and responded quickly to whats app messages. However, I was not told that the schedule had changed slightly so we had not checked out of the hotel. Hotel in Cairo was top! The first guide in Cairo was worthless, he was very limited in the information he gave, was not very proactive, and gave us the idea that he mainly wanted to take advantage of us (did know a lunch place for 30 dollars pp, tried to sell us necklaces). He also did not offer to go inside with us for a tour of Egyptian museum. The guide during the Nile cruise, on the other hand, was fantastic! Very engaging, with humor, could tell good and fun stories. Nothing but positive things about him. The last guide in Cairo was excellent. Gave a lot of information and understood what we wanted. Also, we had booked a sleeper train, which was top notch! Good beds, meals along the way, toiletries along the way.Show more
