An impeccable experience between professionalism, hospitality and wonder - The tour organized with Nice Tour was simply impeccable. I loved every single part of the experience: always clear and smooth communications, great courtesy from all the staff and a really perfect organization in every detail. We felt followed and supported at all times, without ever any uncertainty. Special thanks also go to the ship's staff, always smiling, attentive and helpful: excellent service, great professionalism and a welcoming atmosphere that made us feel pampered throughout the cruise. The thing that struck me most was the extraordinary preparation of the guides who accompanied us during the trip. In particular, the last day in Luxor with Remon was unforgettable: we experienced a wonderful, intense and full of in-depth explanations tour. Remon is well prepared, passionate, able to tell the story with competence and involvement. He accompanied us throughout the day with kindness, sympathy and great professionalism, making every visit even more special. Mohamed, the guide who accompanied us to Kom Ombo, was also very good: clear in explanations, competent and very helpful in answering all our questions, helping to make the visit even more interesting and enjoyable. This tour was confirmation of what I had already felt in the early days in Egypt: Egyptians are an extraordinarily hospitable, warm and attentive people. We felt welcomed not as simple tourists, but as guests. An experience that I will carry in my heart and that I recommend without hesitation to anyone who wants to discover Egypt in an authentic, organized and serene way. Thanks for everything!

3 day Nile cruise with Abu Simbel, Luxor and hot air balloon ride. - 3 day Nile cruise was great experience. Nice tour had great communication throughout the trip with quick response to questions. The cruise was outdated for deluxe cruise but the stafff and food was great. Abu Simbel was the highlight with Ramsey temple built in the mountain. Momo our tour guide in Luxor was very knowledgeable and spoke very well English. Adam the driver was on time for pick up and drop off. Nice tour was able to reschedule hot air balloon ride since it was canceled due to weather (must do do in Luxor). We will definitely recommend nice tour to family and friends.

Cruise. - We thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. The ship and all staff were excellent. Our guide for the tours on the first day was called Mina Abdrabou and he also excellent. He was very helpful, enthusiastic and knowledgeable and without his guidance we could not have fitted as much into the day.

Luxor tour - Our guide Mina has been very attentive throughout the tour. He was also very knowledgeable about Egyptian history and would also answer any questions related to that with clear and precise answers. He made our day very enjoyable.

“Beautiful temples, improveable organization and non-deluxe Upscale ship” - We booked the 3-day Nile Cruise tour from Luxor with Nice Tour Luxor through Get Your Guide. Very positive first day. We were picked up punctually at the hotel in Luxor and accompanied to the visit of the main temples. With the guide Abanob we really enjoyed: clear, interesting and never heavy explanations, and above all he left us the right free time to take pictures and enjoy the places without haste. The driver Abanob was also very good and helpful. In the afternoon we boarded the ship Upscale. We had booked the deluxe option, but unfortunately the ship cannot be considered as such. We were assigned two cabins on the lower floor, with portholes (not windows) practically at water level. The rooms were quite small and the cleanliness not impeccable. The food on the cruise is of mediocre quality, although quite varied, so you can still find something to suit your tastes. You have to know how to adapt: it is not a 5 star as we Italians understand it. Special mention should be made to the staff of the ship Upscale, always kind, smiling and helpful. As for the organization of the next two days by ship, it was not perfect: the tour operator provided certain schedules, while the guide communicated others. The advice is to ask several times for confirmation and pay attention, because schedules are often not respected and there have been several delays. The temples are simply gorgeous and the visit to Abu Simbel is absolutely worth it (even with an alarm clock at 3am and 4 hours by bus outward and 4 hours back!). It's a long and busy day, but it's really worth it. During the two days by boat we were followed by the guide Emad Elsmaky: kind and helpful, although less engaging than the guide on the first day. Overall it was a wonderful experience for the breathtaking landscapes and the magnificence of the temples. It takes a spirit of adaptation and a little patience, but taking it with a smile remains a journey worth taking.
