Review of a four-day Aswan to Luxor Nile cruise with Abu Simbel, Philae, Karnak, Valley of Kings, meals, and hot-air balloon.

“Nile cruise is an experience that people should do at least once in their lives; schedule is very tight but the beauty of the temples is really worth the effort. The boat is very clean and it has a small swimming pool on the roof if you want to relax, cabins are also clean and comfortable. People who works on the boat are very kind and friendly; a special thanks goes to our tour guide: Mohamed was very well prepared about history and can always reply to our questions about all the attractions; he also arranged us transportation after the tour was over.”

We were in great hands and we felt comfortable with everything. Our favorite tour guides were Mou, Mariam, and Aladdin. They went above and beyond and our kids (8 and 10 years old) loved them! They are so knowledgeable and we enjoyed learning all the history they shared!! Everything was absolutely perfect, and they made our trips so convenient. We are so happy we chose Nice Tours. They really took such great care of us. Highly recommend!”
