What people love about River Cruise Tours in Valley Of The Kings
- Luxury Nile cruise Luxor & Aswan for 7 nights includes tours
Great experience visiting the temples and tombs of ancient Egypt, the tour guide was very knowledgeable
Naser is highly professional, well-organized, friendly, and genuinely dedicated to giving his guests the best possible experience. His attention to detail and warm personality turned a great trip into an unforgettable one. If you are planning to visit Egypt, I cannot recommend Naser Abd Al Salam highly enough. He is one of the best guides we have ever had anywhere in the world. Thank you, Naser, for an amazing experience and for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime!
Nile Odyssey: Luxor - Aswan -Abu Simbel - Hot Air balloon A5 days with tour guided
We recently completed the 4-day/3-night Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor with Travel Chance Egypt, and it exceeded every expectation. From the moment we were picked up, the whole trip felt seamless and genuinely well organized. The itinerary was packed but never rushed (although we did travel off-season) — the High Dam and Temple of Philae on day one, Kom Ombo and a chariot ride to the Temple of Horus in Edfu on day two, the Valley of the Kings and Temple of Hatshepsut on day three, and a grand finale at Karnak and Luxor Temple on the last day. Every single monument came with a guide who was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and clearly loved sharing the history — you could tell they weren’t just reciting facts, they genuinely cared about bringing it to life. We were traveling with children, and the staff went out of their way to make them feel included and comfortable. Even though there weren’t many other kids on board, my children never once felt like an inconvenience — to the crew or to our fellow passengers. Everyone was warm and welcoming. The ship itself was comfortable, the meals were good, and having drinks or lunch on the sun deck while watching the Nile drift by is something we won’t forget. Highly recommend this cruise for anyone — families included — wanting to see Egypt’s ancient wonders in comfort and style. We’d encourage families to book with them in a heartbeat ❤️
