We had a great time with my partner doing this trip. For the 4 days the schedule is tight but still manageable and very well organized. Our guide Tarek was great. The boat that we had was called Royal Olivia Signature and also was perfect, a small issue with our room was swiftly fixed and then everything was smooth. Totally recommended

A great way to experience a taste of Egypt and catch the highlights, on your first visit. Everything was well organized and Ahamad the guide was great in his explanations, he gave personal attention to all his guests. The cruise was nothing short of amazing! Great food and friendly staff.

Excellent package overall. Our guide Mohammed Wafa was the best. Informative, attentive and caring. The cruise was also really good, food (buffet) was excellent. The staff on the cruise did seem somewhat checked-out, especially towards our group, vs. rest of the travelers. But I wouldn't hold this tour provider accountable for it, we did convey our feedback directly to the cruise admin. Highly recommend this, especially for our guide Mohammed👍🏼

The boat was lovely, but a little tired in places, particularly the flooring. The staff were very good and at one point I needed some medication, the concierge went to a pharmacy for me and wouldnt take payment. Our housekeeper Jimmy was so nice and not only kept our room lovely and clean, he also left lovely designs each day with our towels. The food was excellent, there was a huge variety and plenty of it and the service was bery good. All of the communal areas of the boat were beautifully furnished and we loved the sun deck, it was so relaxing. The tours werent the greatest our first excursion to the High Dam and Philae temple were very rushed, our second excursion was to Abu Simbel and although the site was amazing a 4am start with 4hr each way travel without stops was not great. We skipped the third excursion to Edfu, as we were so tired from the Abu Simbel trip. On arrival to Luxor we went on a hot air balloon ride which involved leaving/checking out at 5.15am, it was an amazing experience which we thoroughly enjoyed, we went on to Hatshepsut Temple, The Valley of the King's, Calossus of Memnon, The Unesco Workshop, Karnack Temple and by then it was 2pm and were still scheduled to visit Luxor Temple, but we gave up due to walking 15700 steps in 37 degree heat, no break to eat (sorry 15mins to on the bus inbetween one of the sites to quickly eat our prepacked breakfast from the hotel), it was truly gruelling and both myself and my Mother were starting to feel quite ill. Although I have to say the guide Tarek was fantastic, very knowledgeable and the sights were amazing, but it was just too much. In my opinion far too many activities were crammed into too small an amount of time throughout the cruise and definitely in Luxor, it spoilt what was otherwise an amazing little cruise.

This was an absolutely amazing trip. Our guide Hamdy was absolutely the best. He was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. I became ill due to the extreme heat, he made sure that food and drinks were delivered to my cabin. I will never forget his kindness and the hospitality he showed my friend and I.
This trip is fun and filled with adventure, it is an experience of a lifetime. If you want a absolutely perfect guide Hamdy is your best choice.

I could not recommend this Nile cruise enough! From start to finish everything went seamlessly.
Our tour guide Ahmed Elmahdy was amazing he made our trip!. He spoke perfect English and was so knowledgable and had such passion when showing us around the different locations. He really went above and Beyond to make our cruise perfect he was great at communicating with us and sorting everything our for us, what made our cruise go smoothly. I could not thank him enough he was truly amazing and we have made a friend for life in him. If your planning to go I recommend asking for Ahmed as tour tour guide❤️
Also the staff on the cruise were so welcoming and Friendly and the whole thing from start to finish run smoothly and perfectly.
We had the best time and Ahmed and all the staff made our dream of visiting Egypt amazing for us

This was our first time in Egypt after wanting to visit for many years and it has been the most amazing experience !!! We were extremely lucky to have Ahmed Elmahdy as our guide for the entire tour, he had so much knowledge and passion for his Egyptian history in every temple we visited and that passion made learning about these beautiful locations fun and exciting, he was extremely helpful and kind and was by far the best part of our trip.
Mona was also extremely helpful and was always keeping in contact to ensure that we was having a good time and if we needed anything, because of her our schedule was easy to understand and we couldn’t thank her enough for helping to make this trip relaxing and fun
If you are looking to book a nile cruise that you’ll always remember, this is the one for you we are sad to leave but we will keep in contact with Ahmed and have made a good friend for life 👍
