Everything Looked After - Got to see the main sights of Egypt, and if possible the guide would cater for more. Met at every part of the journey with a knowledgeable guide. Cruise ship was great, food was amazing. Only point is the over night train from Cairo to Luxor, was a bit of an experience.

Enjoyable experience - We had the absolute best time! The ship was lovely, the service was amazing. I enjoyed all the sites we visited with my guide Omar was just wonderful! Such a nice guide, knowledgeable and really went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. He even made a stop at a market each day for extra water for me to take back to my room. everything was spectacular. Especially the hot air balloon! One of my favorite parts of the entire experience!

Great guides, great fun - Such an awesome experience, made even better by our guide, Ahmed. The hot air balloon over the valley of the kings should not be missed. The cruise itself is lovely, but what makes this trip so good is the knowledgeable, friendly and helpful guide. I would not hesitate to recommend this trip to anyone. Ahmed, thank you so much for your great insights and fun attitude.

Best trip you could ever have. - Ahmed is an amazing person. He knows everything. And when I say everything thats mean literally everything. We became freinds. In this trip you don't have to worry about everything. I had so much fun. It was one of the best trip ever i had. Even when i was buying a set of wine glass made by some famous stone from luxor he step up and bargained for me with seller.

An unforgettable trip to Egypt - We traveled for 5 days with Ahmed, our guide. It was a wonderful trip. The boat was of a high standard. We appreciated the little touches from the cabin crew. Ahmed offered us a personalized trip. Communication in advance was excellent. On site, the excursions take you to the most beautiful places in ancient Egypt and the comments on Ahmed's History were excellent. We fell in love with the hot air balloons above the Valley of the Kings. A unique moment that we will not forget. A big thank you to Ahmed who, through his experience, gave us a wonderful week. To book without moderation!
