Luxor Tour - The tour company has been amazing at ensuring all my questions and concerns were addressed, I was in contact with them months prior to the tour and as promised all was delivered. We would like to just take this moment to appreciate the tremendous effort both our Guide Ahmed Elkallaf And Driver Gaber did during our trip in Luxor. They ensured we felt comforted and did everything they could to make us enjoy our trip, we had two little ones with us and they made sure they had cooled drinks, car ready with AC, on time and safely reaching destinations. Our guide was very knowledgable and explained everything thoroughly and even was our personal photographer. A special note, when we were told we may not be able to ride the hot air balloon, both of them went above and beyond to ensure we had a chance to make it happen, you feel it when someone means well and we truly felt that in both of them…they made our time in Luxor a great experience and created memories that will last a lifetime.

Insightful - The whole experience was really good and insightful!! We visited a lot of places, temples and memorials, which brought us closer to the ancient times...for me that made everything even more special, because, based on our tour guide's (Ahmed) explanation, I could actually imagine how was life back then. He explained everything clearly and was ready to answer all of our questions. On top of this, he was really kind and open about our experience. I could only recommend them! The only thing is that, if you would like to receive detailed informations, you should contact them on WhatsApp. Thank you for this beautiful holiday!

Historical - In short we booked less than a month before travelling se we got a bit stressed however all worked out very good, we where able to comunicate with the agency via whatsapp which is extremely handy ( you will need to buy a telecom card for data) and arrange drivers pickup, extras etc... Our driver (Emad) was very kind and helpful with all kinds of matters and our tour guide also (Ahmed) very well spoken english, honest and knowledgeable, giving us enough time on our own but also with us to understand the sites and also getting us through unecessary trouble. We where expecting less on the boat but surprise surprise, the meals had many different options the cabin was good and the crew was extremely kind. *Ask questions to your guides in order to have a full breakdown of what you willbe doing

Guide in Luxor as part of Nile Cruise - This review is not about the cruise itself as it needs its own separate review, but it is about an afternoon spent with a guide while on that cruise, Heba Nagdi, in Luxor, as part of the itinerary. Heba is a guide who had a wealth of knowledge to share. She is a passionate Egyptologist who explains what you are looking at so well that you gain a global understanding of how certain traditions, cultures, and beliefs affected human behaviour in ancient Egypt. Heba made things easy to understand because of her advanced gift in story telling. Thank you, Heba, for your guidance as it made me gain a deep appreciation and understanding for Luxor!

SCAM! One of the worst travel experiences of my life - THIS TOUR IS A SCAM. The single worst travel experience of my life. The tour is not with a cruise company, but some middlemen who move you around in different ship everyday. Accommodation: We booked and paid for 5-star experience as stated in the listing. However, the tour company was not telling us which ship we were on so we could check beforehand. On the day of the tour, we were put on a 2-star ship with terrible rooms (see attached pictures). We were told to take it or leave it. The staff was incredibly rude to us and some other travelers who had booked the same listing. We had also booked for queen-size beds, but we were given two single beds and were asked to just join them together for a queen-size bed. Food: The food on the ship is quite bad. We lived for three days on bread and soup as meat was very badly cooked and almost no vegetarian options. The staff was constantly taking away our plates when we went to get something else from the buffet. Tour: The ship itself moves for ~10 hours in 3 days, and most of it is done overnight on 3rd night. For the first two days, the ship just stays there and you are taken to tours from there. On the last day, the tour of Luxor was very rushed, which was very disappointing since the ruins there are great. You are better off just booking Aswan and Luxor tours yourself and flying between the cities.
