Stunning tour with some hitches - The times are long and the inconvenience around the corner, but everything is always miraculously fixed. The tour is tight but the places are lovely

It was an experience... - It was a wonderful experience! My mother, sister and I traveled, and we continued to enjoy our memories. All the guides did their best to share their culture and history with us in Spanish. The only thing that can improve is the agency booking the airline tickets earlier, but they managed to fix the drawbacks in another way always. We fully recommend this tour.

Excellent tour by NICE TOURS Made Our 6-Day Egypt Tour Unforgettable - I had a fantastic 6-day tour of Egypt and would definitely recommend it. The absolute highlight of our trip was our tour guides, Shaima and Hossam. They were truly excellent and made the entire experience feel like a private, personalized tour. Both Shaima and Hossam had an incredible depth of knowledge about Egyptian history and brought the ancient sites to life with their stories and explanations. We felt we learned so much more than we ever could have on our own. The hot air balloon ride in Luxor was an unforgettable experience. The Nile cruise was also a lovely experience and a great way to see the country. While the cruise itself was enjoyable, we did find the food to be a bit bland for our tastes. A couple of suggestions for future travelers and the company: Entrance Fees: It would be very helpful if the tour description included an estimate of the total entrance ticket prices for all the sites. This would allow travelers to be better prepared financially and mentally for the additional costs.Please note that they accept only card payment at the monument for entrance fee. Tipping: As a note for fellow tourists, be prepared for the tipping culture. It's a significant part of the tourism industry in Egypt, so it's good to have small cash on hand. Overall, this was a wonderful and well-organized trip, made truly special by our outstanding guides. The local subcontractor, Nice Tours, did an excellent job with all the arrangements. We highly recommend this tour, especially for the quality of the guides provided.

Super. I joined the 6-day tour with two friends. - Important note: Check every communication channel daily (email, app, etc.) starting at least a week before your trip. Our tour was nearly cancelled because we didn’t provide required info. Thankfully, everything was sorted at 4 a.m. and we started the tour at 8 a.m. Marena and Youssef stood out — kind, professional, and always available to make our experience as smooth as possible. Day 1 – Cairo Guide: Nasser. Not the best start, suspect it was because he had been called very early that morning and hadn’t had much rest. Day 2 – Luxor (East Bank) There were no economy seats available on the flight, so Marena got us to business class to keep the schedule. Guide: Mamdouh, was excellent. He provided every detail, made sure we were comfortable when approached by merchants, he focused on the history rather than just photos. Day 3 – Luxor (West Bank) The hot air balloon was unfortunately the worst. Nice Tours explained this is run by an external company. They will complain. If I find their name, I’ll leave a separate review. After that, Mamdouh once again delivered a fantastic history-filled tour. Day 4 – Edfu and Kom Ombo Guide: Abanoub, another excellent experience. He explained every detail and even turned it into a fun competition about who remembered the most. A special mention to the Nile Bride cruise crew, who made the experience truly enjoyable: Kareem – restaurant Hagag – chef Sombil – bar/sundeck Abdo – supervisor Montasser – front office Ahmed – bar/sundeck Day 5 – Abu Simbel Guide: Abanoub. Again, great. At the end of the tour, he counted the “competition points” and handed out a sweet prize. Day 6 – Alexandria Guide: Mahmoud, extremely friendly and eager to share the history, architecture, and culture of his city. Unfortunately, one of my friends had a health issue, and we had to cut the tour short to head to the airport. Mahmoud, along with Marena and Youssef, were incredibly supportive and handled the situation with professionalism and care.

Review day 1. Pick up... - Review day 1. Pick up from hotel by our lovely driver Mohammed, credit to him to navigate some crazy traffic. And our tour guide Magdy 100 percent knew his history, provided knowledgeable information through the pyramids and museum. Great lunch, very welcoming hosts, looking forward to the next section of this experience

Poor organisation but correct performance - When I booked this tour, I thought the whole organization would be easy. Unfortunately many last minute changes came to disrupt our stay: - delay of the guide in the morning for a pickup at 3:45 ( 45 min) - forgetting the camel back activity (I had to claim from the guide) - major communication problems with the agency – the agency also confused the time of departure of our flight with the time of check-in. A lot of stress during those six days. Neverthelessb the guides were invested ( thank you Doha, Imad, Gabriel ) and the cruise ship and its staff, excellent.
