          Excellent tour. Can't recommend it enough
          The tour was excellently organized right from arrival in the airport. I'm not entirely sure how, but the tour company managed to send representatives into the terminal past immigration to pick us up! And while myself, my wife and my parents were arriving in different flights, they sent representatives to pick us all up separately and even offered to take us all to the hotel separately if we so wished. I thought it was a very generous gesture. Following that, the guides we were assigned in Cairo and especially during the Luxor-Edfu-Aswan Nile cruise were very knowledgeable and informative. They also struck a good balance between giving information, maintaining the time and giving enough time for us to take pictures by ourselves. They even took interest in taking excellent pictures for us in various places. I want to specially give credit to Mr. Mohammed- our guide in Luxor, Edfu and Aswan (picture attached). He was very clear and commanded attention and interest, even among members in our group who were never really deeply interested in history. When we displayed reluctance to go to Edfu Temple citing concerns about animal abuse, he took the effort to prepare an alternative car instead so we won't be affected by it. For other tourists who have similar trepidations with Edfu Temple, I strongly suggest to use this alternative route. That temple is truly something that cannot be missed. Mr. Mohammed was the highlight of our trip, and we can't be more thankful that we had him as a guide for 4 days. Overall, we left Egypt with excellent memories of the trip. My only slight grouse was that it wasn't adequately highlighted that the domestic flights between Cairo and Luxor; and Aswan and Cairo are to be self-booked. I do wish that it was clearly highlighted even after booking. But it ended up without significant consequence.

          Yonis and Yasser! The DREAM team!
          Yesterday was an absolutely amazing day. We were picked up promptly at 9am, by our guide Yonis and our driver Yasser. We started with the Egyptian National Museum. This wasn’t originally on the itinerary but Nile Cruisers made it happen and Yonis was the perfect guide for this. With his Masters in Egyptology he walked us through the different ages of the Egyptian empire at the Museum. Then we proceed to the next part of our tour, which was the pyramids. Absolutely breathtaking! And Yonis is the greatest photographer. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who has a short time in Cairo!

          Great time in Egypt
          Well organized tour. Our guide Mokhtar in Cairo was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. He gave very detailed academic level information about the sites we have visited. Our guide Hamada during Nile Cruise ensured a relaxed and enjoyable time. I can only recommend to book this trip.

          Day in Cairo
          We had a day between connecting flights in Cairo and having used Nilecruises before, I again contacted them to arrange some sightseeing to fill the day. As I have become accustomed to, everything was easy, on time and an absolute pleasure. Even a late change of plans owing to a delayed flight was handled without any difficulty. Clean car,excellent driver and truly professional and knowledgeable tourguide. He even arranged a quick hello from my tourguide of last year who happened to be at the Pyramids at the same time! My thanks to Ahmed,Yasser and our tourguide Mokhtar Yonis. You guys really are in a different league !!

          Great company for your Egypt tours
          Everything was organized and planned very well and we were very happy with the outcome. Right from the first point of contact via emails with Omnia to May to Ahmed receiving us and dropping us off at the respective airports was great. Whenever I had a query and it was put out to them, the response was always very prompt and helpful. Their tour guides are absolutely knowledgeable and friendly with loads of information to part which was amazing and throughly enjoyable. In Cairo our guide was Mokhtar who was lovely and so was Hamada in our Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. In Hurghada, we met up with Aliaa and she was lovely. We would absolutely recommend this company for any tours to Egypt as they are professionals in their field and know fully well what they are doing 😊

          Thoroughly recommend Nile Cruises
          We have been looked after at every stage of our trip, from first touching Egyptian soil in Cairo to when we leave. All the team: the agency staff both in Cairo and Luxor, the drivers, the boat staff and, of course our wonderful guides (Sherif in Luxor and Mohammed in Cairo) have been so helpful, friendly and so keen that we have the best trip

          Nile River Cruise - Cairo > Luxor > Aswan
          Our journey through Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan was absolutely unforgettable. Nile Cruisers coordinated everything from arrival to the airport, in country travel, hotel, tour guides and tickets to all sites. Amr and Yousef were our guides and both had deep knowledge of Egypt’s history and culture bringing every site to life. Both guides also proved to be exceptional photographers, capturing stunning shots of us at iconic landmarks and along the Nile during our serene river cruise. Working with Nile Cruises you can tell the company has an attention to detail, and passion for ensuring we had the best experience making this trip truly extraordinary. Highly recommended!

          Great experience
          Nile Cruisers worked patiently with us to find an Aswan to Luxor cruise that fit our needs. Hamdy was our guide for the trip and he was phenomenal. He has a deep understanding of Egyptian history and shared it with us at every site we went to along the cruise. He also arranged our trip to Abu Simbel and hot air balloon which worked out great. Would definitely use Nile Cruisers again and would hope we get Hamdy again if we return to Egypt.

          Exceptional Egyptologist and tour.
          Wow. We have had a fantastic time. Met for our Nile cruise by the gentleman Hamdy Mahmoud. Hamdy treated us like his friends, his knowledge as an Egyptologist is fantastic and really enhanced our understanding at each temple. His care for his guests is exceptional. A dream trip for us!

          We had an amazing tour thanks to our guide Youssef. He was very knowledgeable and friendly, which enhanced the learning experience. He went the extra mile to ensure the trip was seamless and stress-free. I would highly recommend him as a guide. In addition, the vessel for the cruise and all of the staff were great. Nile Cruisers and Youssef were flexible to changes to the itinerary based on our needs.

          The only tour company you need for a great adventure in Egypt
          Nile Cruiers is everything you want in a tour company. Knowledgeable, responsible, flexible, and professional. We worked with Mai to create the package to fit our compressed timetable, and Mai put together a trip to remember. We landed in Cairo and had a remarkable first day in Egypt, with our camel tour around the pyramids a true highlight. Our tour guide in the first leg was knowledgeable, funny, and ensured we maximised our day in the city. From Aswan to Luxor we joined the M/S Sunray with our host Yousef. From the temples at Philae through the tombs at the Valley of the Kings, he ensured we had a great and memorable time in Egypt. Knowledgeable and funny, we never had a dull moment and came away with memories of a lifetime. The final highlight of the trip was the ballon flight in Luxor - a can’t miss! Choose Nile Cruisers for your next Egypt adventure.

          Outstanding and memorable trip
          The trip was very memorable in all aspects. The memory created was lifetime. The team was very professional and planned everything with utmost care. The tour guide Arafa was passionate, through with Egyptian history. So was our Nile cruise guide Humdy. The stay at Marriot beach resort was a life time experience. I would recommend this trip with Cleopatra travels to our friends and families.

          Warm, comfortable, value for money. very satisfying family trip. God bless Cleopatra
          We selected this trip on referral from one of my friend. It was dream five star tour conducted very professionally by Cleopatra Tours & we got total value for money. The four pillars of the tour were visit to Giza pyramid, Nile cruise, Luxor visit & Hurguda resort stay. During our visit to Luxor, we were enriched by our guide Humdy. Arafa was outstanding & knowledgeable to make us understand the Egyptian history at Cairo. He is really a dynamic & lovable person. The people of the country here are very homely and caring especially at all hotels/ resort we stayed. The company was very prompt, punctual & upgraded us timely to make our stay more comfortable & enjoyable. Thanks to Omnia & Mai for their guidance & professionalism. Thanks to the team of Cleopatra. God bless.

        These people are some of the most professional, most accommodating, easiest to work with travel organizers I have ever interacted with.

        We called 12 different Nile Cruise operators, these guys regularly had the best price on everything. They were reliably communicative, before and during our trip. They were friendly and helped us understand things we wouldn’t know as tourists. And they absolutely delivered on the luxury and conditions they described to us.

        One of the most important things in Egypt is to make sure you have good guides. A bad guide will take you from place to place. A good guide will get you engaged with the places you are visiting and make every experience richer. The guides we had on our trip with Nile Cruisers were fantastic. They are incredibly knowledgeable, but not just on the usual questions. My friend is a medical student and wanted to know a ton about ancient Egyptian medicine to a level that most tourists don’t know about. Our guide was able to answer every question and take us to particular hieroglyphs that depicted them.

        Every person is different and our guides were excellent at discovering ways for us to spend extra time at the unique places we were inspired by, while working with us and helping us figure out how not to miss the other things we see. We were able to have a completely custom trip, changing multiple things about our schedule, because our guide, Ocean, made it possible. Our trip wouldn’t have been half as great as it was without him.

        We were on the recently remodeled Sonesta Sun Goddess, and the ship and crew were perfect, the picture of luxury. I didn’t want to choose this because the pictures online were not so appealing, but Haithm made me aware that the ship had been recently remodeled and was now the best ship in the fleet. I was still unsure as I couldn’t find this information in my research, but Mostafa was able to find for me pictures of the new ship that weren’t even on the internet yet to show it to me! It turns out he was dead right for steering us this way, the cabins and amenities were the best we saw on the Nile and we had a fantastic stay thanks to him.

        We picked Nile Cruisers after being in communication with almost a dozen other cruise companies. They were the best to work with before the vacation, and after we chose them they continued that high standard throughout our trip. If you’re thinking of taking a Nile cruise, I can’t recommend them enough.

        We had a fantastic time on our Egypt Trip, which was in its entirety organized by Nile Cruisers. Every pick up, every guide and every cultural site visit was extraordinary.
        We went Novembwe 19-28. Started in Cairo, visiting the Giza Pyramids, our guide took some awesome pictures for us. We took a camel ride. Very touristy, but a must according to my teenage kids. Had a vist tonthe papyrus plant and organized lunch, ciulr have done without those, followed by the Egyptian Museum, which was nice, but pretty empty, as they are moving to there new location. Day 2 was taking a flight to Luxor, where we meet Ahmed Elsayed, our favorite guide. His english was great. His knowledge superior and he made every visit of temples, cultural sites and markets memorable and special for all 7 of us! His ability to tailor to the needs of our group spreading from 15 years to 72 years old was excellent. I would without a doubt use Ahmed as my tour guide again.
        Karnak Temple. Luxor Temple and off to the Cruise we went. IBEROTEL Crown Empress was our ship. It is 4 Egyptian Stars, but our ship crew was super friendly. The ships are all a little outdated and could use some updating, but food was good. We sailed to Aswan and stopped along the way in Valley of the King, where we took a hot airballoon ride (hughliy recommend) Edfu, Komo Ombo and took the extra trip to Abu Simbel. It was a ling drive, but worth seeing this impressive site and getting up at 3:30am. Early bird gets the less crowded temple.
        We returned to Cairo after Aswan and took a trip with overnight camping to the White Desert.
        Our guides were awesome and the batural beauty was amazing. I have never seen that many stars. It was a lot of driving and the camping was not the most comfortable, but everybody agreed that it was 100% worth it.
        Fantastic 9 days in Egypt thanks to the skilled team of Nile Cruisers. They were super responsive via Whats App and organized a flawless tour. Thank you Omnia and Mustafa for your premium service. I highly recommend Nile Cruisers and if you get a chance to request Ahmed Elsayed as your tour guide, you will have an awesome time

        We booked a private Nile cruise through this tour group for a four night cruise during the month of October. The communication from Egypt to us in Australia was very efficient and clear. We had Mr Ahmad El Sayed as our tour guide. He was full of knowledge, professional and showed us a great time.
        We were travelling with a 6 yr old and realised a couple of days into the tour how difficult it is to visit so many temples with a child. The tour company adjusted our itinerary to accommodate our child by swapping the Abu Simbul tour with an alternative tour in Aswan, which suited us perfectly and we enjoyed very much.

        We decided booking our trip with Nile Cruises, because of the amazing support of Omnia, weeks before coming to Egypt. She was always online, clarifying my questions all the way through in order to finalize our bespoke tour. The agency is more expensive compared to the average, but it is worth it. Also, our guide in the Cruise (we traveled with a luxury boat “Farah Cruise”) Mo Kamal Ada was beyond our expectation. Excellent English, kind and respectful, informative with dedication to serving the agency’s clients. Most guides, just escort you around the monuments or act like drivers, without actual knowledge of the sights and the museums. So, if you want to make the maximum out of your trip i totally recommend this agency. We felt that you have a local buddy all the way through our trip, which is rare in Africa, where most of the people care just to get paid for their service and then forget about you. The only thing i would recommend is skipping the horse carriage in Edfu and go by car. The poor horses are treated badly from their owners and they seem in bad condition. I was not aware of this, but i suggest that Mustafa (the company owner) could make a deal like this.

        Last, make sure you have a clear understanding of the entrances included in your tour, because there are several optional stops, that are not included in the standard itinerary and you need to pay on top, if you decide to opt for this (for instance Luxor temple or some graves in the Valley of the kings). Last, if you have the time don’t miss Abu Simbel and the Nubian Village (here was the biggest local market and the most easy going shop owners), totally worth it.

        Ps: try to book a cabin to the right side of the boat, if sail towards the south. You get better views and it is opposite to the street when docking.

        This package is an interesting way of getting to know Egypt superficially. It shows you the essentials of this magnificent country in a well organized fashion: everything has been taken care of and you shall be waltzed from boat to car to museum and back again.

        The cruise ship: not a lot of guests because of COVID restrictions, very helpful staff, great and varied food. The sun deck lacked a bit of shade to protect us from the impressive summer heat, the rest was relaxing and clean. The belly dancer show felt kitsch but maybe some people like that.

        The guide: we had an incredibly sympathetic tour guide, who was well-spoken in English and who was always in a good, calm mood. He was quite knowledgeable about ancient Egypt and also taught us about modern day Egypt. We absolutely recommend him: Mahmoud (aka Ocean).

        The tour itself: ideal package if this is your first time visiting Egypt and you don’t have the luxury of time to plan the trip yourself. It definitely gives you the urge to come back for more. You get to see a few of the popular landmarks and they take care to plan the visit in a way that the temple visits are less crowded. Definitely book a very early hot air balloon ride over the valley of kings in Luxor! It felt like a tourist trap on our way to the balloons (they hired a « cameraman », tried to sell us extras, put us in a convoy of maybe 130 other tourists) but the flight itself was absolutely amazing and maybe the most memorable part of our trip.

        One thing absolutely shocked me as well as other tourists in this review section: to visit the Horus temple in Edfu, we were put into horse carriages. I felt terribly sorry for these poor animals, forced to gallop under immense summer heat, in heavy and very loud traffic. This is unacceptable for Western standards so I think they should use buses, tuktuks (or simply walk since it’s an interesting town. The temple is only 20 minutes away by foot and you get to discover the interesting market on the way to the complex).

        Finally, some activities felt like tourist traps to me (papyrus shop, alabaster, perfume shop,...) but once again this feeling might differ from person to person.

        Overall it was a wonderful experience and I would recommend it if you don't want to plan your entire trip yourself.

        Wow! Bruno, we were blown away by your positive words, and we really appreciate the time you took to write such a detailed review! We agree with you about using the horse carriages in Edfu, but our only consolation is that the money you pay to the horse's owners helps them feed and provide medical care for the horses. And you may know that without the support of tourism income, the horses can suffering and may dying hungry sometimes. Thanks for your tender feeling and be sure that we take your feedback to our consideration. We can’t thank you enough for the kind words about our team and our services, and we look forward to serving you again in the future. Best Regards Nile Cruisers Team

        We decided to book this cruise after a lot of investigation. We had a little bit of trouble with the down payment on the cruise as we had to pay 50 percent ahead of time and 50 percent on the first day but we are from Mexico and out cards don’t work with Amazon pay. Finally after a frustrating week of not being able to pay we were sent a link to pay with PayPal and it worked fine. We were sent itinerary and we’re ready to go. We arrived to Luxor by train and as expected the train got late. We found our baring and our tour guide sherif met us at the station to take us to the boat. Because we arrived early we were able to go straight to valley of the kings to optimize time and have more time in the tombs. On the next day we would only be allowed three hours but because of the change we were allowed five. Sherif made our tour very amiable. He was very knowledgeable about the ruins and explained it all in detail. We personally really liked his style of explanation turning all the stories very entertaining with the historic relevance. Plus he would explain everything outside the temple or ruin and we could go find everything he explained. Made the ruined more of a treasure hunt. In between the temples we were taken to see the local culture stops, fragrance shop, alabaster workshop and a papyrus workshop with out the pressure to buy anything. But receiving the full explanation of the craft. On our last day we asked him to take us to the bazaar in our free time and we even walked around a more local scene to experience the culture more no just touristic Egypt. Sherif was a great guide and open to turning the tour to meet the needs of all. We were always supplied with water and arrived on time for food on the boat. My only complaint about the boat was the room had a couple of glitches. The first day water came out of the toilet but it was fixed immediately. We were there in very cold days, the pool is not heated so we did not get to use it and the last day when the days got warmer our air conditioning did not work properly. Lot her than that the staff was very friendly and the boat was tastefully decorated and the food good for all pallets. Highly recommended tour.

        Honestly, the best part of the Nile Cruise was not jus visiting the temples, but our guide, Ahmed Elsayed. In every way possible he killed it. His knowledge of each temple, it’s history, the carvings on the tomb walls and the sculptures, is truly amazing. He spoke in a way that pulled you into the Egyptian history, making it fascinating. Also, he looked out for us making sure we didn’t get scammed by the venders and gave us enough time to wander the temples on our own and get photos. He also kept us on schedule so we could see absolutely everything, and always, made sure we were back for lunch or dinner. Ahmed went far beyond his duties as a guide. He really loves his job and it shows. Fantastic guide and all around good guy.

        All in all, I was very happy with the company "Nile Cruisers". Their staff were always on time, extremely pleasant and everything just worked seamlessly from the time we landed in Cairo until the time we left. There was a party of 4 of us on this trip and every staff member made us feel very welcome and special and nothing was ever too much trouble for them.

        Mohammed was our tour guide while we were in Cairo for 2 days. He pretty much knows everything there is to know about the pyramids, temples & the pharaohs as he is a qualified egyptologist. I found him to be always on time, very helpful and would definitely recommend him to anyone who wanted an in-depth source of knowledge on Egyptian history.

        Abu was our tour guide while on our river nile cruise. He is very personable and communicates in very good english. Plus he is extremely knowledgeable about Egyptian history and culture and he makes learning about it all fun. He also went out of his way to ensure that we managed to see everything that was on our "to-visit-list" which we really appreciated as some days were very full on but we managed to visit all the places that we wanted to see in our short 5 days nile cruise.

        Our cruise from Luxor to Aswan was on the Concorde II boat and again the staff onboard couldn't have been nicer and more helpful. They have an excellent chef onboard who cooks the most amazing food. The boat itself is very modern and clean and it was always a pleasant surprise when we entered our cabin to see what animal our towels had been folded into.

        Thank you "Nile Cruisers" for an amazing and unforgettable holiday.

        We had the 5 day tour from Luxor on the Movenpick Sun Ray, with additions of Hot Air Balloon Ride and Abu Simbel Visit.
        Mo Noor was a very good guide who arranged everything smoothly, took great pride in trying to educate us on our temple/site visits. Together with a very likeable personality he is the ideal guide.
        Both add-ons were good value with the Hot Air Balloon Ride being especially good. The Abu Simbel visit was very good too.
        We recommend this company and Mo Noor to anyone visit this area. You will be look altered really well.
