4 day Nile cruise - Amazing tour arranged with Egypt Tours including transfers from Cairo on the sleeper train. From booking everything was so smooth and Mona could not be more helpful keeping us informed on who would be collecting us and what our itinerary would be. Our guide Ahmed was very knowledgeable and made all the tours very interesting- as well as making sure everything was organized and running on time. The staff on the cruise were excellent especially our server Lewis and the bar manager Mustafar. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing days! - We just got back from our Nile cruise and it was wonderful! The communication with the agency was always good, even if the itinerary had some changes, they were always willing to help us and everything worked pretty good. The best thing was our guide Lamey 'Larry'. He is amazing!! He picked us up at the train station and was with us the whole time, always worried and helping us in everything that we needed. He's is knowledgeable, nice and fun! We couldn't ask for a better guide! He's for sure the best that we ever had (and we've been in many countries around the world) I wouldn't hesitate to book this tour and if you can, please ask for Lamey the guide, you won't regret!! Thanks for everything!

Decent price but book with a strong heart and be prepared in case of last minute changes.. - Not sure if I should recommend this company.. they offer a decent price but they made several last minute changes via WhatsApp (imagine if I didn't have stable internet connection or if I didn't check WhatsApp, then my trip may not happen as per the original itinerary) but eventually after several lengthy complaints over WhatsApp, they tried to find a way to make it happen and my trip went pretty well. You can read others' reviews on this company, and I believe in general some Egypt tour companies are a bit dishonest to a certain extent or will hide certain facts from you. This is unfortunate but evidenced by several sources as I encountered a few tourists who got their tours from other companies cancelled the day before it's supposed to start. Anyway, I'm lucky the trip went more or less according to plan and the highlights were the hot air balloon ride and tour guide Mohamed's passionate sharing at each of the ancient sites. Cruise experience was surprisingly above expectations too. Recommended to upgrade train ride to sleeper bunk for the first day so you will be well rested when you arrive in Aswan to start the tour. Good luck ;p
