Friendly and respectful - He was very friendly, respectful, and attentive throughout the evening. He made sure we had comfortable seats with a nice view, and checked on us often to ensure we were enjoying the cruise. His service truly made the experience more memorable and enjoyable.

Fun for everyone! - First, if you book with the same group you will discover that on the front page it says $20, however, that is only for the driver to take you to and from the location. There is a separate additional fee for the dinner and three different levels that you can pay and different times in which you can participate. In reality they all seem to be about the same although I only took one cruise so maybe the five star standard cruise has something that the four star doesn’t? There is also a five star deluxe, but it doesn’t tell you what it is that makes it deluxe so I would say go with the least expensive and you’re going to enjoy the show on the same boat. The staff was very nice, the shows we’re wonderful there were dancers and a belly dancer and two whirling gentlemen who did an amazing show that was very inclusive of everybody, but particularly the kids, and it was fun to watch. We are a couple of seniors and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves as far as the food. There is plenty of it and it is OK. If there were any negatives, it would be that I would recommend the staff remain behind the people watching the show while the shows are going on often while the shows were going on the staff was trying to reset the tables for the next group and doing cleaning while you are still at the table. And that was annoying. However, that was the only negative and if you are not inclined to watch the shows because they go on for most of the trip after the dinner is served, you can go up on the top of the deck and look out on the beautiful lights around Chiro as you float down the Nile I highly recommend

Guide and driver Raafat +20 128 831 5586 a great guy! - Raafat our driver and guide was extremely kind and helpful. He manages the crazy roads with ease. At the boat he did everything - got our tickets and made sure we got a good seat before departing to send us on the dinner cruise (next review w be of the cruise). Upon our return to the Doc, he was waiting for us. And drove us safely back to our hotel without incident. We had a great night.

Superb experience with an outstanding guide, Raafat - The cruise was a great experience - the food, entertainment and atmosphere were all highly enjoyable and well worth the money. But the best part of the experience were our superb guide Raafat and and our driver Nashd who took care of our every need. Raafat is kind, considerate and makes sure is guests fully enjoy their experience which we did. If you do this cruise, ask for Raafat as your guide, he is wonderful!

Nile river cruise - Experience was good. Our tour guide Raafat and Andrew were very good hosts. The belly dancers were my favorite. Rafaat ensured that we were comfortable all through. The staff members on the boat were friendly and the main host was very welcoming. I’d rate it 9/10

Book at your own risk - We have been using Viator for many years and in many countries. For the most part, you can get an accurate view of the excursion via the reviews. However, for this particular excursion, there’s only one review that accurately captured how horrible this experience was to be which I errantly discounted because it was only one.
First, when taken to the departure area, the dock was completely unkept and dirty. There were flies everywhere and no communication as to how long you would have to wait in this decrepit area. This caused a lot of concern for myself as a husband for the safety of myself my wife. As more locals and tourist came and by the looks on their face had the same sense of fright, it became apparent that we were not the only ones to be swindled that day.
When it came time to board the ship our disappointment continue to skyrocket. Having seen so many nice boats on the Nile we had been expecting completely different. Instead we got an old poorly converted barge to ride in for the evening.
The entertainment was so bad as to be comical. To be fair the first ‘act’ was an Egyptian singer, who actually sang quite well and was trying to get the crowd into the experience. However, when it was time for the belly dancer to come on it quickly went downhill. When the ‘performers’ came on, it was as if my parents had decided to come on to sing karaoke, while my mother danced for the crowd.
Since we don’t speak Arabic, we really could not voice our displeasure. However, the dapper Arabic businessman that was with his wife and children seems to have said it all and then some; almost to the point of striking the person in charge of his group.
My wife and I are both from Latin countries so we understand that not everything will be as beautiful as in the United States. However, when you see locals were just as disgusted as we were, we knew the experience had been oversold to everyone. If you’re looking for a nice Nile cruise book anything that leaves from any place north of Cairo University Bridge. Otherwise you’ll hear from your wife about this for the rest of your life and not in a good way.
