Nile river cruise - Had a wonderful time with the company. Did the optional tours as well so we were really busy but saw an incredible amount of things. River cruising was a lovely way to go.

Amazing River Nile Cruise - We have enjoyed this River Cruise so very much and have seen first hand how beautiful Egypt is especially from Cruising on the River Nile. The staff and meals on the River Boat are Eceptional and a true Highlight of our Egypt Holiday. Our guide Amr was fantastic and made our Holiday Amazing

Wonderful experience - We had a wonderful time on the cruise. The ship and room was clean, the staff were always friendly and courteous and the food was much better than expected. The highlight of our trip was our guide Sayed T. He was very knowledgeable, super organised and made sure everything went absolutely smoothly. From picking us up at Aswan train station to dropping us off at our destination in Luxor, he made sure we had a good time. At the time of our tour it was already very hot. Sayed planned the tours to temples and monuments so that we could avoid hot temperatures and crowds, for which we were very grateful to him. We were sad when it was time to say goodbye. If you are lucky enough to get Sayed as a tourguide just know - you will be in the absolute best hands!

A wonderful experience! - Honestly, we loved this cruise which was our first and which was just exceptional, we were amazed by it and the Egypt Unlimited tour service provider took great care of us. A big thank-you. The boat we were on, the Fayan, was just magnificent, comfortable and the food was very good, our private French guide Emad was really great! We recommend without hesitation this cruise which we will not soon forget.

I recommend it to you !! - Family trip with 3 children (10-13-17 years old). - The boat: very calm on the Nile, no seasickness, spacious and comfortable rooms. Very friendly and helpful staff. Buffet of very good quality and renewed each meal (and no one sick), we enjoyed ourselves. On the deck of the boat, deckchairs, a swimming pool (for cooling off, not for swimming), a treadmill and exercise bike. Possibility via payment to access the hammam and sauna and massage. We loved this boat! - The visits: all with the same guide Sayed, who speaks French very well and whom we highly recommend! He adapted to our wishes, very good advice, very human. The explanations were clear and interesting. He took care of everything (drivers, tickets, program). The monuments are magnificent. Our best time in Egypt!

Luxor and Aswan - Amazing trip, with amazing tour guide Mr. Muhammad The cruise, food and sites are the best Unforgettable experience and I definitely recommend it.

Rich experience that we can emmert for our life. It opens our mindset and world. - 4, rich history learned from our guide Amoro, who is knowledgeable and has lots to share with us. He adjusted his way of communication soon after we know about each other more. he is responsible and pay attention to our safety and wellbeing. very much appreciated.

Comfortable boat (Nile Bride) but noisy and with truly unknowledgeable guide - + we booked a triple room and it was spacious and comfortable - a pleasant surprise + the food was fine and there was enough choice; the service in the restaurant was good + the boat is in relatively good overall condition - we booked the package with a private guide and the worst part of our trip was the guide assigned to us (Adham Mohamed Makky) - deeply unknowledgeable, providing completely wrong information (e.g. he said that Seti II was the son of Seti I, which is a truly gross mistake; he also said that Mikhail Gorbachev helped Egypt with the Aswan Dam while that was Nikita Khrushchev; that Alexander the Great died in Egypt, while he died in Persia; etc.). Whenever I tried to tell Adham that his facts don’t add up, he acted arrogantly, answering questions that I didn’t ask. Adham also tried really hard to part us with our money, constantly reminding us that we need to leave large tips to everyone (he said that we need to leave at least USD 10 per person per night as the tip for the boat staff - which would amount to 30% of a monthly salary in Egypt). He also brought us to different shops where he would get a part of the profit if we would buy something. He said that all was hand-made while most of the things were obviously plastic. He also tried to sell us an additional tour to Abu Simbel for 25% more than this tour is regularly charged (we declined and found an alternative via the Trip Advisor). Overall, a truly appalling experience. - Everyone on the boat wanted tips and did everything for the tips. The room cleaner made some horrible figures by twisting our towels and opening our private boxes to use pieces for these figures. We were disgusted by this as he used our sleeping gowns and rather expensive glasses that were packed. We asked not to have a room service for the following nights. - The floors in the room and the bathroom were both really dirty, so much so that my son needed to immediately change his socks as they became black from dirt. The cleaner entered the room in shoes and all service members thought that it’s fine to enter our room (and not to remove the shoes). - The boat has some agreement with locals along the way who would row to the boat, get the ropes provided by the crew, and try to sell junk trade to the guests. Horrible shouting accompanied these operations and we had no moment of peace during the sailing time. - There was a masseuse on board who used the deck chairs as her own salon - taking her telephone calls, speaking very loudly, laughing loudly and not paying any attention if this bothers the guests sitting next to her. She was completely hysterical, crying really loudly, then laughing hysterically 10’ later, and so on. We were flabbergasted by this behaviour. - There is a pool on the top deck - no filtering of the water could be observed (there is no water pump or it’s switched off), the water is stagnant and forebodingly looking. Overall, it was a pricy experience for a fake guide, very noisy deck and a crew that care only for tips.

Horrible. Lie and scam. Only the Award is 5 stars. - Awarded this excursion with Private Guide given the good reviews but we regret. what a hell. If you still choose to go to this country and book in advance with this tour. Insist on not having the Al HAMBRA boat and the Rejuvenated Guide. Otherwise you'd regret it. Remember that they are very good at lying. Good luck! CONCLUSION: Horrible trip, I do not recommend at all! Upon arrival, our Pension in Cairo and Aswan, they offered us the same cruise excursion for 250 dollars (List Award) so the real Award if you go to see an agency directly on site would be 150 or 200 dollars. A lot of lies, scams and begging in Egypt!! They will force you to tip them for poor or even bad service. At no time did I have the Impression of getting what I paid for or being in a 5-star boat. The first day we made comments to make things better and then we understood and gave up. We were just waiting for this "cruise" to end. Really everything was a lie, begging and scam.( Agency/boat/employees/locals) What a horrible experience! I recommend neither the country nor the agency. AGENCY: property owner was friendly and even took us back from Aswan Airport to our Pension a day before for free (it started well). He was asked via WhatsApp and he agreed. But the Award is extremely expensive compared to the actual Award and the quality of the service offered... you have to know that all boats in Egypt sound 5 stars..... 5 Egyptian stars is not even worth a French star... the only thing 5 stars is the Award! CRUISE: Boat AL HAMBRA what a horror and what a scam! For 4 days cruising, it is only two days in truth. The first and last day the boat is docked.. We go back to the rooms the towels were grey (they were probably white 10 years ago). No wifi because down. No elevator because it broke down. Anything they want from tips and they will force to get them. Looks of a heaviness.... The windows in our room wouldn't close. Beggars will come in canoes screaming down your window for you to give them money in the middle of the Nile. You want soap, shampoo, toilet paper you have to ask them every time and give them tips, tips. Drainage of the blocked sink Swimming pool: green standing water that reaches the knees. No filtration system BUFFET: the starters were not good. Resistance dishes always taste the same. Desserts were bad. No fruit, no yogurt,... No drinks are included. (no water, no juice, no coffee , no tea , nothing ) And of course, on the boat the Awards are three times more expensive if you are thirsty. Juices are industrial juices taste chemical. It doesn’t look like a 5-star buffet at all, but like a regular buffet from a lambda Pension in Europe. If a product is finished, it does not replace it. It is necessary to make the remark to them so that it is replaced... Guide: we took a Private Guide because we really wanted the top.... We had Rajeb. He speaks French and Arabic. For each temple we were given the same explanations: dimensions, number of beams and who builds it. That is all. at no time does he tell us what is written on the walls or tell us historical anecdotes. We could see the other guides, a laser in hand exploding hieroglyphics on the walls and ours unable to tell us about them. The colossus of Memnon, he explained to us from the car. Surely he did not want to go down. There's no point in taking a Private Guide because half the temples they can't go home with you. Yeah, you read that right. Your Guide will stay outside, for Abu Simbel, the tombs of the Valley of Kings and so on. THE TEMPLES: personal review: the only temples of interest were those of edfu and karnak. Abu simbel is expensive and not worth it. Neither do the rest of the temples and tombs. Toilets are charged, even if you have already paid admission. SECURITY: no security in Egypt. Every 10 meters from army checkpoints. At the entrance of the boat there is a man armed with a kalashnikov and policemen in civilian clothes traveling with you. I advise you not to leave your boat or Guide to walk alone. ORGANIZATION: all boats / buses / cars arrive at the same time and leave at the same time. So there's really no point in taking a Private Guide. TIPS: you almost have to tip them (a large sum) even though the service is poor or bad. (Driver, employee of the boat, guardian of the tombs, ...) any Egyptian actually. Set aside an additional $200 in tips/rackets. At the end of the trip you will just have a bitter taste of being ripped off. this is the kind of country you should avoid.

Feel Cheated with the nile cruise - Horrible guide. Room on cruise was bad. Paid 2000 usd for this and the room was like a shady motel. The only bright spot was the cruise staff specially the Mohammed the Manager who were very sweet. I would recommend people to confirm the cruise boat name and pics before doing reservation. @viator very disappointed with this. Feel cheated
