We would like to particularly thank Mona who provided us with excellent information and guidance during these 3 days. Mona was very responsive to our messages. The organization was very efficient, guides and taxi very punctual. A big thank to all the team!!

Our agent Mona did a great arrangement for everything including airport pick up. Also fully refund us an extra tour due to flight changed. Our cruise is named Opera, served a comfortable room and delicious food. We had a great time in this trip.

Very nice and playful crew. Rooms were nice size, beds comfortable. Big negative is the horrible Egyptian air pollution and diesel exhaust of all river boats making it impossible to leave windows open while cruising. And This is not a 5-star cruise. All upholstered furniture dirty and dingy and window treatments need deep cleanings. I saw no female crew which could account for the need of deep cleaning.

The cruise was fully to our expectations. We had a memorable 3 days sailing from Aswan to Luxor on La Terrasse, with impeccable service on board. On the visits to the listed sights we had the services of fully competent guides, especially Aida at Aswan, Zacharia at Esna and Ahmed at Luxor, who was especially helpful and knowledgeable.
Would recommend this trip!

Had an excellent time, fun way to sightsee. The crew is very nice, one of the best experience in Egypt. The check system is a bit confusing, but otherwise perfect trip, they take you toball the places that you'd want to go.
Our guide Ahmed was very knowledgable and helpful!

Bassant was great and always at hand making sure we were looked after. So from that perspective that was good! The cruise itself was nothing particularly fancy but then I think to get something above of what we had, the price tag would certainly be much higher.

We booked this tour and paid over 500 euros for the following "services":
- The entire boat was reserved for a Chinese group. All the information boards (as per my pictures) were in Mandarin... we had to use our internet services (as those aren't provided in the package) to loosely Google Translate our program
- The boat was old and dirty. Since we were dropoff passengers (the group had a 5-day program), we were put on the lower deck near the machine rooms where we could not only hear thr rumbling noise of the machinery but also smell the fumes emanating from them
- The room was dirty. I don't expect a luxury vacation when the company doesn't advertize it as such. In this case, it was misleading at best and blatantly dishonest if I'm being honest: this is anything but a 5-star cruise. Just look at the picture I uploaded: everything was gross. I didn't want to shower because it felt disgusting...
- The sites were beautiful. One problem: there is no proper schedule (the description is very basic) and when you're asking for details, Egypt Tours will send you the description of the tour... we had to wake up at 4:30 to see Edfou. It was gorgeous and absolutely worth it, but again we could have received this information beforehand. We also missed our dinner because there was no proper (English)
- (This is about the ship -Sultan Hassan-, not Egypt Tours) When leaving the ship, they asked us to pay them "tips for the crew members" and for "cleaning services" (I had to use Google translate since no one spoke proper English on board). We gave them the money, and they then asked for the double.... I had to tell them that I already tipped people and that I can't be requested to pay for something like that....
- The food was mediocre. Bland. That's buffet food at best, and it looked really bad.
Overall, after literally sending a dozen of messages to Egypt Tours, they paid us one night at the Winter Palacr in Luxor. That's a nice gesture, for sure, but we had to tell them that we'll report them to the Tourism Authorities for misleading advertising... they were first very reticent to help, but it looks like it takes a LOT of efforts to get them react. I'm happy they helped us, but the cruise in itself is really not worth it. We had high expectations and the trip turned into a horrible experience overall.
ONE ADVISE: book the boat directly. There are very beautiful boats such as Movenpick. They're mich better equipped and you don't pay for an unnecessary third party.
