About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- yukikon5850 contributions素敵な時間を過ごせました。とても良い時間を過ごせました。 ガイドのアシュラフの英語は聞き取りやすく、各遺跡では詳しく歴史を解説してくれたので大変勉強になりました。 フリータイムは十分にあり、オプションやお土産屋さんも無理に行かなくて良いと言ってくださいましたが、色々と見てみたかったので、アブシンベル神殿やルクソール神殿の光と音のショー、馬車でのルクソール市内観光、気球などのオプションをツアー当日に付けました。 どれも素晴らしい体験でした。 クルーズのご飯も期待以上に美味しかったです。 エジプトの子供達などお金を要求する人たちが沢山寄ってきますがガイドさんが守ってくださり助かりました。 プライベートで柔軟なプランを組みながら安心して過ごせたのでこのツアーにして良かったです。 We had a great time. The tour guide Ashraf was very professional and his explanations were easy to understand. The food on the cruise ship was delicious. All the activities we joined were wonderful. He assisted us perfectly so we were able to enjoy all the trip and feel always comfortable.Written September 15, 2024
- Companion392246125340 contributionsSo many amazing historical temples. You definitely need a guide to tell you the storyAshraf is a professional and nice guy. It was happy to have him as my tour guide. He is well planned, no tricky no pushing🙅♀️I had wonderful memories hereWritten February 27, 2024

- guanghaoy20230 contributions👍👍👍👍👍👍I’m from Taiwan. My sisters and I were on a nile river cruise in Egypt. We were very lucky to get to know an Egyptian tour guide named Asharf from Gate 2 Egypt Tours Local Company in Egypt. He is an excellent tour guide who fully understands the history and culture. His explanations are clear and easy to understand, patient and warm, which made us happy. My trip to Egypt was full of precious memories. I highly recommend him.Written December 27, 2023
- Iloveteeth1230 contributionsThe best of Aswan, Luxor and Nile River Cruise...Our tour guide Ashraf was very professional, polite and had vast knowledge especially of Ancient/modern Egypt. He was friendly, always willing to answer any questions, and we shared several jokes. He was also more than willing to accommodate us..e.g change leaving times, allow more than enough time when visiting temples, lunches and drinks...All in all the trip was excellent!Written December 26, 2023
- lotusy20170 contributionsbest trip ever hadThe introductions of the ancient egyptian culture/history by Ashraf are the best part of this tour, which made our trip to be more fabulous. Besides, all the delicious food and the services on the cruise are heartwarming.Written December 26, 2023
- gracel1390 contributionsExcellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Our tour guide is Ashraf , from Gate 2 Egypt Tours Local Company. He is really knowledgeable and the best organiser. He knows all the details of history and each temples importance informations . He makes sure he passed these important information to us. He knows what is the best time to go each sight seeing places and temples to avoid crowing and peak time. If you want reliable and peaceful and content journey , I would strongly recommended him. Book with his company would get good prices.Written December 26, 2023
- christiansL1541BX0 contributionsNile CruiseWe had a good time on the Nile, sailing from Luxor to Aswan. The organization around pickup and transfers all worked well and was well-coordinated by the agency Gate-2-Egypt and Ashfaq. We had a very good, caring and extremely knowledgeable guide in Mohammed El-Aswan, that explained all the inner secrets of the temples and history. We left early every day to see as much as we could and Mohammed managed to pack in even more. The main hick-up was that we had booked a different vessel to travel on that what we were eventually given. We had booked Esmeralda and were put on Mojito. And only informed once on the boat. While the staff on Mojito was friendly and all, the vessel is run down. (Naturally I cannot comment on Esmaralda)Written November 20, 2023
- khanman4150 contributionsGreat way to see major sites in EgyptThis was a nice trip. Our guide picked us up at our hotel and gave us a quick tour of Aswan (we say Abu Simbel the day before on our own) before taking us to the boat. The rooms on the boat are a bit small but are modern. AC works great and the beds are comfortable. Food on the boat is good with plenty of variety. The staff go out of their way to make that your stay is enjoyable. Our guide arranged for drivers as needed and accompanied us to all the listed stops. He was very informative and provided a lot of insights on the areas that we visited. Only issue with this trip was that the WiFi was pretty much useless. With that said, I would highly recommend this cruise as a way to catch most of the major sites in EgyptWritten August 6, 2023
- 902jasmineb0 contributionsTime and money well investedExcellent private tour. Our guide Ashraf was incredibly knowledgable. Each place we went to Ashraf our tour guide explained the history, art, culture and much more which i found very interesting. We we're well traveled, also flexible and well looked aftered. Myself and my friend were very happy with our tour guide - he was great and spoke excellent English. Time and money well invested. Highly recommended.Written July 9, 2023
- sam1016450 contributionspleasantly surprisedAfter a lot of effort and concern I finally settled on Gate2Egypttours for our Nile river cruise. It was a very good decision on my part. I spoke with Ashraf on the telephone not knowing he would be our private tour guide. I couldn't have picked anyone better. Thank you AshrafWritten March 17, 2023
- barbaranJ2582WR0 contributionsTouring AswanA special excursion- all expectations exceeded…and a top guide! Mohammed was so good…knowledgeable, friendly, kind, and watchful of us, in our seventies and touring Egyptian ruins! We highly recommend him! Aswan is his home. He is a pleasure to travel with.Written September 26, 2022
- W1942VNroberts0 contributionsGreat tour of Abu simbelMohammed Aswani is an outstanding guide. He is knowledgeable and entertaining. He is also very attentive and considerate.Written September 26, 2022
- 196soniam0 contributionsDay trip to Abu SimbelOverall, a bit dissapointed with this company. I paid a huge amount of money for the tour to visit Abu Simbel. Our guide, Mohamed , was good and explained very interested things, however, it seems he was in a hurry to finish the tour asap. There was a visitor centre next to the temple which he didnt show us. I decided to enter to have a look and he didnt even give us enough time to see the whole video where it showed the process of transferring the temple to its new location. I did other tours in Egypt with better companies but this one wasnt worth the moneyWritten August 30, 2022
- joeliu20180 contributionsLifetime experience in Abu Simbel TemplesVisiting the Abu Simbel Temples was a long overdue dream for me. I booked a private tour and the company assigned Mohamed Saadi as my guide and Eliya as the driver. They both arrived at my hotel on time so we were able to start the journey first thing in the morning. Mohamed was very knowledgable and well mannered. He explained the history and stories of the temples clearly and answered all my questions patiently. He even prepared an album of the temples to help me understand the history. He understood my needs and made sure that we arrived at the temples as early as possible and took some nice photos of me (with no other tourists in the background). Eliya also acted professionally throughout the journey. It was a long drive for him but he did his best to make the trip as quick and comfortable as possible. I was so pleased to be accompanied by Mohamed and Eliya who made the trip a very pleasant and memorable one.Written August 5, 2022

Mostafa was our guide and the entire experience was wonderful. Everything was taken care of. The only reason that i have given a little less rating is because we felt that the cruise ship could be of a better standard. Not too say that the one we were in lacked anything, in fact the crew and the good was awesome. Perhaps this was due to the fact that we booked very late in the peak season. This cruise is really good otherwise and a great experience.

I had an amazing experience in this 4 day 3 night cruise from Aswan to Luxor! The ship was in excellent condition, rooms spacious, excellent quality food and service. The private guide Mo and the private vehicles were an added benefit to explore the historic sites. I would highly recommend it to others who wish to explore Egypt ancient sites and history.

This tour lives up to its pronouncement as a "luxury tour". The boat and rooms are simple and comfortable; the food very good and abundant. The attractions are, of course, amazing. Our family of three spent the days in the very capable hands of our Egyptologist guide Ashraf Elbadry, who is knowledgeable, kind, and was solicitous of our needs and wishes at all times. We lived a wonderful dream as we floated down the Nile!

The best part of the cruise was our guide Ashraf from Gate2Egypttours. As a private guide he provided us with daily pickups to all the sites we wanted to see along with excellent knowledge of Egyptian history. He also had a very workable schedule that left us with time to ourselves. Most importantly we felt very comfortable and in good hands with Ashraf as an expert Egyptologist and guide. He never overloaded the schedule or insisted on us doing something we were not interested in. He also answered questions about recent events and culture in Egypt.
Highly recommend Ashraf and Gate2Egypttours.

The 3-nights 4-days cruise tour from Aswan to Luxor were wonderful and successful. The tour guide helped us to get to all the attractions as stated in the tour package. Besides, the tour guide also helped us to go to some optional sites such as Abu Simbel and Alexandria as the day trip. We enjoyed the tour with peace of minds and private tour guides. The tour guides are professional and experienced in the areas. They speak English well and good at communicating with us. We enjoyed all the arrangements and felt satisfactory. Will come back for another trip in the future.

A great experience. Our guide was very intuitive and knew the answers to all our quest. Very interactive and accommodating. Spent time to ensure we got the most out of every day. The cruise ship staff were extremely helpful and polite. Overall couldn’t be happier with our first visit to Egypt and can’t wait to use this tour company again. Thank you!

Very good.
The private tour was good with young children and the hospitality of the cruise staff was also excellent. And above all, our tour guide, Mustafa, was very well and arranged everything according to our requests. We requested an additional trip to Abu Simbel as an option. We enjoyed that even with long drive because of knowledgeable guide, safe driver and comfortable car. Well managed.
Also the company staff respond very quickly.
I recommend here.
とても良い旅でした。寄港地でのプライベートツアーは子連れには最適です。クルーズスタッフのおもてなしに感動しました。何よりこのツアーのガイド、ムスタファに色々な要望しましたが、全て対応してくれました。アブジンベルは長距離ドライブでしたが、快適に楽しめました。最後にナイルクルーズの会社といくつかやり取りしましたが、ここのレスポンスはとても早いです。お勧めします。

Emad was a wonderful guide. He was very knowledgeable of the history and tour stops in each location as well as being very helpful to the culture of Egypt and any needs that came during the trip. We loved his hospitality and positively. He ensured we were safe at all times and helped us navigate through the vendors.

This company is fantastic! I had all my tours scheduled before I left home & 3 days before my cruise was scheduled to start the 1st company canceled leaving for scrambling. I booked a second tour which also canceled, leaving me wounding if this was doomed. Enter Delux Tours which was a referral from an Egyptologist in their employ. They were a life saver for me & came in under budget. Ashraf, my guide on this private guided trip was wonderful, I could not ask for a more fantastic guy. Not just knowledgeable but clearly a man with resources & can solve problems. I’m great-full to them for making this happen on such short notice. I would absolutely recommend this company for anyone booking tours in Egypt. Thank you

This experience is unbeatable. Having never visited Egypt before, and being obsessed with ancient Egypt since I was a child, this experience met every expectation. Here is my honest review about all the components:
The Egyptilogist
Our private guide and now friend: Mahmoud was incredible. He brought the thousand year old stories inscribed on the walls to life. There is no way to fully appreciate the Temples without a professionally and academically trained guide. Additionally, he ensured my wife (who is not a history nerd like me) remained engaged by providing cultural experiences and not just historical knowledge. He showed us parts of the cities that we would not have seen otherwise.
The Nile Cruise - El Jamila
I would like to start by saying how welcoming, accommodating, and attentive the crew was. They represent the best of the Egyptian people
And serve as great ambassadors of their country. The cabin was a bit on the smaller side, and definitely looked to be a bit worn, but ultimately we were not spending much time in there. The food was plentiful and delicious. Be prepared, though, to only eat during the designated times, as there are no options for snacks or food outside of the set meal hours. The Lounge is a good size and air conditioned in case you get too hot. The rooftop deck is very large, with lounge chairs towards the bow and tables toward the stern. I am unsure if it was due to the time of year (low season), but the upstairs bar was not open, and there was no music throughout the day. The pool is on the smaller side, and the water is not heated. Be warned - there is a lot of down time during sailing hours. Be sure to bring books, cards, games, etc. Try to not plan your schedules too tightly, as the ships will frequently be delayed due to the number of ships on the Nile (your guide will help accommodate plans).
In all - I would highly recommend, as you cannot beat the experience and the memories you will gain for such a fantastic price.
