Fantastic tour! Highly recommend
4 Days 3 nights 5 stars Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor
- 4 Days 3 nights 5 stars Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor
Dear reader if you are reading this review, you are planning to head to south Egypt for a vacation, and I can only encourage you to do so, for several reasons, having done it myself, I can tell you that it is a magical place, with worm people to welcome you. Cruising on the River Nile should be on anybody's Bucket list. The thousand-year-old sights all along are breathtaking, and the peaceful cruising on the river has to be experienced, and can't be explained in words. However, places like Philea, Komombo, Edfu, and Karnak or Luxor Temples come really alife when beautifully explained by a local expert in Egyptology, my local guide Alaa is such a guide, his explanations go in depth about the historical facts, and he does also lead you throughout the entire journey from highlight to highlight, with his kind, always with an honest smile, way to genuinely be. There is so much to see in the lands of the Pharaos, the right person to guide you is Key, and Alaa is that right person, with the knowledge, as well as the sense of hospitality. This experience was an out-of-this-world experience, thanks to all involved. Highly recommend this to anyone.
Highly recommend the tour it was great experience

"Great nile river cruise. Holiday in Egypt was always very helpful and easy to reach throughout our whole stay in Egypt which extended beyond the tour duration. We were on “Le Fayan 2” cruiseship, the room and food was pretty good. The staff was very kind and welcoming. Our tour guide Ahmed was with us the whole time and truely made our tour more enjoyable. Even kept us company and took us on a walk when we weren’t visiting sites on the itinerary.

"Cruise ship and staff on board very correct As for the guides for the visits, they were very random, either late or the visit didn't even take place "no cab or guide for the unfinished obelisk". Or sometimes just the cab without the guide, It's important to find out about tours in advance, as they sometimes take place in the afternoon while other groups do them in the morning, and we had to wait for a guide for nothing. It's mainly the organization of the visits that we found disappointing, otherwise the boat trip on the Nile was great.
