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 had the best time ever on this cruise!” - my kids. It was a great experience. Our operator Demiana was so professional and organized everything so well. 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!”

“Please all customers do your research in advance & don’t take this tour. The Al Nabilatan cruise ship is old, run down & needs to be taken off the market. The service on the ship is terrible whereas everything is aimed at additional cost for an old mostly smelly cruise ship.”

“There was a lot to do in a very short time. This does mean we all had plenty of rest after at the read sea. The day 1 optional trip (25$) to the nubian village - take it you won't regret it. Make sure you have DOLLARS with you not euro or GBP. The entrance to all museums + the tips for everything (drivers, cruise ect) is all included in a one off payment you do on your first day on the cruise. Get 1 dollar bills (lots) from your country before coming over. You are also allowed to bring 5000 Egyptian Pound per person. Lots of excursions with lots…”

“The cruise was wonderful. Loved every day, excellent cabin, food and a lovely boat. Spent hours on the top deck, swimming, reading and writing, and watching the scenic Nile banks go by. The excursions to see the relics were well done with excellent guides. Arwa was really great in following up with us and making sure everything went well. Loved those buffet breakfasts in the morning, and also the evening dinners. I would recommend this cruise to anyone, regarding less of age. They even had a foam pool party one day!”

“I was travelling with my elderly mother (78 years old). It was the best way for us to see Egypt. All the guides were excellent (Mustafa Habibi, Menna and others thank you from the bottom of our heart! you made our trip unforgetable), they knew their job and did it to the fullest with respect to our wishes and liking. Everyone made us feel very safe and did everything to overcome any difficulty. Very good value for money. All in all a wonderful experience I would definately repeat!!!”
