First class Nile family cruise - Absolutely wonderful experience for our family. So happy with every aspect of the holiday. From the moment we were met at the hotel to the final drop off, we were so well looked after, and guided expertly by fantastic Egyptologist, John, around the amazing sites from Aswan to Luxor. First class experience on board Merit Dahabiya, with great food, lots of space, a cold tub and great great service. Travelling with 3 kids (between 9 and 16) it was very educational to be guided by John at each site. Abu Simbel, Valley of the Kings, Karnak to name a few. Wonderfully preserved, must-see places. Very pleased to choose the Dahabiya, which had only 13 guests (3 groups), compared to the large cruisers. Amazing floating along the Nile at night time and docking away from the large ports.

So much to see and learn! - Excellent trip! Our guide, John, was very knowledgeable and made the tour really interesting and informative. The boat was great, cabins were clean, food was delicious, staff was really nice, and the deck was great for relaxing in the evenings. While the tours start very early, it was well worth it to avoid crowds, lines, and heat. There is plenty of downtime while sailing where one can relax.

Trip of a lifetime along the Nile! - The four-day tour was meticulously planned, and brilliantly led by our wonderful tour- guide John. John joined us on arrival in Luxor and from that moment on, I was confident that everything was going to be fun, safe and details all organised. John was super communicative before the trip began,and through the week was kept us up-to-date over Whatsapp of any changes or useful information, and was patient and helpful throughout - often advising on money questions as well as being a great Egyptologist who was able to inform us of lots of fascinating detail on our tours of various temples and tombs! John was an always positive and reassuring and informative presence and sorted everything, from entry tickets to sites, to transfers and cabs along the four-day tour. We saw some of the most magical sites in the world, and felt incredibly safe (both in Egypt generally, and on the boat and tour) and were very well looked after for the entire trip. All the drivers and cars used were clean and air conditioned, with safe and polite drivers! Earlier on in the planning process, Marina from Journey to Egypt was incredibly informative, responsive, detailed and patient as I planned the trip. The 4-day trip was a great experience, so enjoyable and interesting, and a great mix, because although it is a busy sightseeing itinerary with early starts, it never felt too hectic or exhausting, and we always has a little time to relax in the afternoon and evenings. I felt happy and safe for the whole trip, especially as a solo traveller this was a big relief. Egyptian people and staff on the boat were all wonderfully welcoming and efficient. I would highly recommend Journey to Egypt as a tour operator, and John as a guide!

Wonderful private guided experience - We had a terrific time with John and the Journey to Egypt team. Even in high season with many crowds, they were always on time, professional and made things logistically easy for us.

A Magical Family Adventure on the Nile - Our four-day Nile cruise was an unforgettable experience. I traveled with my two children (8 and 11), and while I wasn’t sure how they’d handle the sightseeing, our incredible guide, Mena, made everything smooth, engaging, and genuinely fun. Mena was kind, attentive—and incredibly knowledgeable. He adapted the schedule to keep the kids interested and was so thoughtful when my younger one came down with a stomach bug, making sure she was comfortable and adjusting plans as needed. The cruise itself was a dream for the kids—sailing down the Nile, exploring ancient temples, and learning about both ancient and modern Egyptian culture and language. Mena was fantastic—he brought every site to life with his stories and insights. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more memorable trip. If you’re considering a Nile cruise, do it—and if you can, do it with Mena!

Great 4 day cruise with stops at many temples - This was a great experience. Our guide Michael was amazing. He had so much information and did a great job of accommodating my mom who has some mobility issues. The boat was very nice and the food onboard was great.

Informative, safe and incredible - The trip was exceptionally well organised. Our tour guide was John who was incredibly informative and well organised. The sites are not to be missed and the photos don’t do justice to actually being there. The entire region is safe to travel to, we never felt uncomfortable even when we went for walks by ourselves through the streets or markets. Thank you for an unforgettable experience
