The reason we have booked this tour was reasonable price including all the entrance fees. Everything was very well organised thanks to the tour operator and our tour guide George. The Cruise ship royal olivia signature was way better than expectations in terms of service, food and ship itself. They even prepare breakfast bags if you leave the ship early in the morning. Very thoughtful.
The only handicap would be visiting all the important temples in Luxor on the last days, could be little tiring.

All the places we went were excellent. Tour was planned well, all places explained clearly and had enough time to walk around&photos . Our itinieary included all spots we wondered about.
Omar helped us during the entire trip -from airport to airport- explanied history in each temple, arranged our tickets so we did not have to wait in any ticket line, gave us extra options during the trip for instance a temple that most other groups did not go. While others groups went some temples on horse cars, we had option to use a normal car. Even warned us about local scammers.
Ship was nice but a bit old. Food and serving were perfect, each meal was a feast. Rooms do not have balcony, just french balcony. Ac was good.

I recently went on a Nile cruise in Egypt with my mother, organized by Egypt Knight Tour, and it was an incredible experience. Firstly, their communication and availability were top-notch, making the booking process smooth and stress-free.
Despite the agency primarily being Anglophone, we were pleasantly surprised by the excellent French-speaking guides, especially Zaki, who was not only friendly but also extremely knowledgeable. The overall organization of the trip was impeccable, from airport transfers to daily excursions. Additionally, the tour offered great value for money, considering the quality of service and experiences provided.
We also opted for a tour of Cairo, which was seamlessly arranged by the agency upon our request. Highly recommend Egypt Knight Tour for anyone planning a trip to Egypt!

The cruise was amazing and the people are really nice. But the highlight of it all was our tour guide, Omar. He went above and beyond to show us everything. He was so nice, so friendly, so knowledgeable, and so hilarious. Whatever we needed, he made sure we had it. Even if it was almost impossible he went out of his way to make it happen. I give him 7 stars. He speaks many languages and knows everybody which really helps us kick back and enjoy our vacation. If you need a tour guide, ask for Omar. You will not regret it

This tour was a great way to see numerous but scattered amazing sites in upper Egypt. Our guide Jimmy was quite knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history, and did an impressive job of tying together the various locations to tell an integrative story of the past. He also did a great job of keeping us informed on the other aspects of how the tour worked. Be aware that there are a number of early mornings (wakeups between 3:30 and 5:30) but it was well worth it. The rooms on the boat were actually better than I had expected, quite spacious, though the meals did get a bit repetitive. After-dinner shows in the lounge were a nice surprise. I was really impressed about how well the logistics worked, from our early morning pickup at the airport the first day to our late day drop-off there, everything went smoothly. We were even able to add a hot air balloon ride in Luxor the last day (extra fee) that was truly spectacular. They did have stops at various hard-sell places (perfumery, alabaster shop) so be prepared. I would highly recommend this tour.

It’s really a pleasure for me to write a review for this excellent service I got from all the members of Egypt Knight Tours, because everything was so perfect and beautiful ☺️ our guide Hany, created a complete experience during our journey through the Temples, the cruise and everything, he cared for every single detail of the journey and for everyone in the group. His vast experience and knowledge regards Egypt history was something that I really appreciated so much, I traveled by my self never felt lonely or isolated 🤗 felt very secure and cared everywhere and all the crew in the ship was always very kind and respectful. Food on board was delicious, the cabin very comfortable and always kept tidy, what else can i say? No doubt I recommend this services to visit this beautiful part of Egypt and for sure I will come back ♥️

Me and my girlfriend recently did the 4 day/ 3 night nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. Our tour guide Hany was a legend. A really nice guy who genuinely looked out for all of us. We both had food poisoning and he got us medicine without us having to pay and ensured that we were looked after. With 18 years working for the company, he was essentially an encyclopaedia for egyptology and knows everything, there wasn’t a question he wasn’t able to answer. He was also there to chat with beyond his hours and it’s clear he cares about the people that take the tour. Overall, a great, genuine guy and he’s your man if you want to take a tour like this.
The boat was a little dated but well looked after, they had painters in during our stay tidying up the stairwells. The food was buffet style and could feed an army, it was also really good quality so definitely worth the money. The staff are friendly and playful and will look after you. The boat only sailed one day which was abit of a disappointment - it docked in aswan 2 nights instead. Everything was still hit in the itinerary just in a slightly different order. Also before booking note that tips are custom and so expect to pay quite abit extra than the original price. Nothing crazy but for us two students it added up abit more and hurt the bank account a little.
Overall a great experience and would recommend this one if you’re looking for a nile cruise with tour.
Thanks,
Sam and Julia.

Just finished the tour with Gamal and we definitely had a great time. We did not book a private tour but only 4 people are in our group.
The tour is well organized. We always have a small meeting to discuss the itinerary one day before. The pick up is always on time. And Gamal is very reachable by phone. During the tour, we leant a lot of history about Egypt. Even when we are on the cruise, Gamal also came and shared some stories beforehand to help us understand the temples.
The cruise is like 3 stars hotel standard in Europe. It is clean but could use some renovation. The staffs are nice and the view of Nile is stunning when sailing. I can stay on the deck all day long to look.

My two friends and I had a great time on this tour, everything was impeccably organised and our guide Mohamed Saad was very personable and knowledgeable. For the price we paid we were very impressed that we got Mohamed all to ourselves and by the cruise ship which was very smart, with delicious, varied food and very friendly, respectful staff. Overall I would definitely recommend.
