- 720humas0 contributionsWould highly recommend - Fantastic Tour and Incredible Tour Guide AhmedThe experience was incredible and the tour guide Ahmed made it an excellent experience defiantly would recommend it!! It was a dream for me and my husband to go to the ancient cities in Egypt and we booked the tour in Luxor based on the reviews. We had such an incredible experience with our tour guide Ahmed in Luxor. He definitely made the day better and created a brilliant atmosphere which made the tour extra fun. He elevated the experience with his amazing personality and his deep knowledge. Super accommodating and with an incredible driver we had an amazing tour and experience. I would 100% recommend this tour in Luxor. To my family and future travelers.Written October 20, 2024
- nastyar2310 contributionsGreat experience ❤️❤️❤️Just such a cool experience ! Love every second ! So much new I learn ❤️and a tour guide is an excellent photographer is a just a real match❤️❤️❤️Written October 11, 2024
- abajooka0 contributionsHighly recommend this tour!We did a few tours while we were visiting Egypt and none of them were like this. All were rushed and the tour guides did not seem to care about personalized experience. This one was the complete opposite and we wish all tours were like this. Hazem was very knowledgeable about all the tombs and sites in Luxor, and always asked if we needed anything. Pick-up was always on time, and he was very flexible in helping arrange a schedule to our needs. We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Luxor.Written February 15, 2024
- ThanyaA930 contributionsThe best tour in LuxorThis tour was, with our a doubt, the BEST experience we had on our trip to Egypt. On the first day we visited the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, Temple of Hatshepsut and de Colossi of Memnon. Our guide was absolutely amazing. He is an expert Egyptologist who was eager to tell us all about Egypt’s history, he was open to questions, he explained everything in an interesting and understandable way, he let us take our time visiting the tombs without any rush, he took amazing photos of us and was overall incredible and super nice, we had great conversations with him. At the end of the day we were taken to lunch at a local restaurant (which is included in the tour). We weren’t very excited since we are vegetarian but they arranged some vegetarian dishes and the food was delicious and the service was amazing. On day 2 we visited Luxor Temple, Luxor Museum, and Karnak Temple. Again, the experience was beautiful. Our guide, in perfect English, took us on an amazing journey through history and mythology. It is also worth mentioning that during the whole tour we were driven by a very nice driver in a private car with air conditioning, cold water and snacks. We absolutely recommend this tour. Not only does it include sights that are left out in other tours (like The Valley of the Queens which was our favorite place in Luxor and totally worth the price to visit the tomb of Nefertari), but the company makes sure to hire experts to make an incredible and worthwhile experience. Our guide always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. We can’t thank him enough for making our trip the most AMAZING and INCREDIBLE experience.Written February 9, 2024
- jeireeo0 contributionsVery knowledgeable hassan and fun cruiseThis review is for the luxor to aswan Nile cruise . This trip overall was awesome ! The Cruise was amazing and the staff when above beyond, especially for me because i got sick a day in . The staff helped my family bring tea and soup to my room. Hassan was very nice , knowledgeable, and passionate about ancient Egypt and current events.Written February 2, 2024
- H8614NUmarya0 contributionsOnce in a lifetime Experience , We Can't thank you enough !!!Where do I begin!?!? This was my first time visting Luxor and knowing the amazing history throughout the region, I wanted to make sure that we would get the most out of our experience. specifically our guide Ahmed made this a once in a lifetime experience. From the start of our trip we were met with friendly service as well as feeling secure traveling to the desitinations that we selected. From the moment we met Ahmed we felt like he was family as he showed how welcoming the people of Egypt are while he discussed the background of the culture and history from the time we stepped into the tour van. His attention to detail of everything around us was incredible but more than that was his knowledge of the sites we visited. The historical information that he shared from 4,000 years ago as well as his vast knowledge of such rich historical landmarks made this such a unique experience. We can't thank Get Nile Cruise and ahmed enough for sharing their culture, history, and frienship with us as this was a trip I would recommed to our friends back home. If you are looking to visit Egypt, you will not be disappointed with booking them and I would highly recommed requesting ahmed and his team as they were awesome!!! Thank you for such a memorable experience!!!Written February 1, 2024

- C7550MOanthonyh0 contributionsWell organised and great guidesWe had a fantastic trip from Aswan to Luxor, very well organised and with fantastic guides Hassan and particularly Ahmed who was with us for Abu Simbel and the Aswan to Luxor cruise. Hazem was very responsive and communicated with us regularly prior to the trip. He organised additional transfers and a trip to Abu Simbel. Our only hiccup was a change of boats from LaFayen to Movenpick, which had us worried but the Movenpick was first rate, staff and food amazing. Hazem was also great communicating the change.Written January 1, 2024
