Incredible Views and Exceptional Service on the Best Cruise Ever - I recently went on the best cruise with my family and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The views from our room were absolutely stunning, especially during sunrise and sunset. I highly recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a relaxing and scenic getaway. I also want to give a special shoutout to our guide, Ahmed, who went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic time. He was incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area. The rest of the staff on the cruise were also amazing and made us feel welcomed and cared for throughout the journey. Thank you all so much for a truly memorable vacation.

Should be named Excellent Tours! - Here Egypt Tours We booked 3 nights 4 days tour by ‘Here Egypt Tours’ through Viator when our earlier tour operator ‘Mody Egypt Tours’ cancelled our booking on the last minute! Although it was not our first choice, I have to say, we had one of the best holidays with ‘Here Egypt Tours’! Ms Mona Rahim was on point on organising, always keeping in touch to see if our tour was going on fine. Our tour guide Mr Ahmed El Mahdy was very knowledgeable and guided us extremely well throughout the tour. He was very amicable and funny at times. Highly recommend him for any tours. We were picked up by the tour operator from Luxor Airport on time and were transferred to our Cruise. Our cruise ship was called ‘Semiramis’. It was a good ship with clean rooms and good facilities. The rooms were clean and included a safe, mini fridge, hair dryer, towels, bath sheets for swimming, tea- coffee making facilities etc. They did not have an iron though. All meals were included and the meals had a great selection including vegetarian dishes but you pay for the drinks separately - even water. The cruise provides afternoon teas on top deck with a selection of cakes and biscuits etc . The cruise also includes a souvenir shop, swimming pool, open gym, pool table and a massage room. The tour is fully packed and there are some really early tidings for the Balloon Ride and Abu Simbel trip. But everything is managed smoothly! For a comfortable and enjoyable no fuss holiday, I highly recommend ’Here Egypt Tours’! Some tips for a comfortable stay: - Egypt’s economy relies a lot on tourism so be ready to tip everyone whose services you use. It is rude not to tip. This is what I figured during my stay~ Taxi Drivers- US $ 3.00-5.00 Horse and Carriage - US $ 2.00-3.00 Guide (At the end of Tour)- from US $ 30.00- 40.00 ( Depending on number of days and number of people in the group-we were a family of four) Cruise Staff (At the end of stay)- from US $30.00-40.00 - When shopping for souvenirs always quote 10 times less the price. I liked a dress which was quoted at 1200 LE and bought at 200 LE. I think I could have gone much lower. So get your bargaining and haggling skills on and don’t relent. -Always be polite. Egyptian people are immensely polite and courteous. Don’t forget to smile at them and show courtesy by wishing them Good Mornings or thanking them (Shukran in Arabic). -US dollars is the most valued currency but if you wish to change money there are ATM’s that charge the same exchange rate any where you go.

Excellent tour - Value for money, excellent customer services - Mona Rahim was our travel executive from the travel firm. She thought of everything and provided information proactively. At the same time she remained connected on daily basis during out tour to ensure that we did not experience any issues. She was just a message away. This is an exceptional service. The tour guide selected by Mona was Al-Ahmed Mahdy who was assigned as 1-2-1 and was throughout with us. He is very experienced, knowledgeable and very jovial . I will definitely recommend this tour firm. Thanks

Great experience - This was a really great experience. The boat was very nice. The lounge area and the rooftop has plenty kfnskave and comfortable seating. My room was spacious and so was the bathroom. The the food was pretty decent, I definitely ate well. Ahmed was an excellent tour guide, very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. I never felt rushed out like I missed anything. Seeing all the temples in real life is so incredible, you must do it.

Must- do : cruise in the Nile - Me and my husband (USA) came to enjoy a 2-week trip in Egypt. Cruise through the Nile as a must, but was in general very expensive when aiming for small group cruises (<25 people). This cruise (130 people capacity) made it possible. Our guide, Mohamed el khady was great; enthusiastic since day 1, quizzing us, and also balancing the amount of information in between overwhelming us and being scarce. He always looked after us with shade and was available for deeper questions or any follow up mythology questions! He was kind and friendly at all times. It was a great experience that I highly recommend (specially for tight budgets) . 3 nights 4 days allows to see the most essential places.

Wonderful Nile tour! - I just loved the tour. Traveling by myself being on a private tour was perfect. We were a total of 5 persons and had lots of fun! Our guide HAMDY (yes write this name down and ask for him) was wonderful, friendly & kind, knowledgeable and taking care of us so well! We just loved him! The boat was clean, great food, personal super friendly and professional! Excursions were even better than expected. Don’t miss the ballon tour. It is definitely worthwhile to get up this early!! Yes, just buy this trip! Egyptian history is awesome!

Best way to discover upper egypt in 4 days with no logistic hassle - Great way to discover all the main sites from Luxor to Abu Simble without having to worry about logistics. Most appreciable was the egyptologist guide Ahmed, who’s kind, reliable, knowledgeable and fun. I was also lucky to get on the Nile Serenity boat, which is honestly spotless and very comfortable, with good food and incredible panoramic windows in the bedrooms to gaze at the Nile riverbanks. Prepare to wake up early (4 am) for the hot air balloon and Abu Simble excursions. Last tip: clarify beforehand with the guide when the first visit starts on the first day, so that you don’t land in Luxor unnecessarily early.
