On the Nile through history - amazing experience - My girlfriend and I booked this wonderful cruise as it seemed the best option to explore the Ancient Egyptian sites between Luxor and Aswan - from Karnak and Luxor Temples, all the way south to Abu Simbel. Every morning we left early with our guide Gamal and our arranged transport, to go to different sites, and we were dropped back on time for lunch. The afternoon was free for relaxation or for additional activities suggested by our guide when possible - we chose to spend the days relaxing by the pool, or walking around by ourselves, but it was nice to have the option to do something. About our guide Gamal - he gave us valuable insights and answered every question we had about the Ancient Egyptians and what we saw in the sites (even the obscure questions!!!) with plausible and amusing explanation. We even discussed new theories, and I could really see how passionate he is on the topic. I totally recommend him! About the cruise - everyone was very polite and respectful, always there to assist. The room was quite spacious. The food variety was well-suited for carnivores or vegetatians - many kinds of salads, cooked veggies, pasta, rice, beans, meat and seafood, even ostrich for dinner once! In addition there were thematic parties twice for those willing to dance. A great experience overall and I can recommend booking it if you decide to explore this part of the world.

Once in a lifetime! - We had such an amazing time in Egypt, and months later, we are still talking about it. Truly a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide, Ayman, was actually from Aswan and it was incredible to see all the local places and learn about the ancient, and current cultures. We went to places and learned things would never have experienced had we tried to do the trip solo. Also, a lot of friends have asked me about this so I'll say it here, Egypt was VERY SAFE. Even the time we spent in Cairo, we never felt uneasy. There are even laws protecting tourists, which I've never heard of before. Such an amazing adventure and highly, HIGHLY recommended.

Best tour you can have when you first time in Egypt - I definitely recommend you to use this agency. Agency took good care of any time and the tour guides are also very knowledgeable and professional. At the beginning we booked other tour but it was cancelled by your company. But this agency we finally have is wonderful. They showed us good sites and all the time made us safe and secure. 100% will recommend it to you. We had great time

Good cruise on the Nile - We spent a very good time on this Nile cruise. At the beginning we were afraid to book one because of all bad comments on Internet. Then we found this one that looked good. Thanks a lot to our guide Gemy, he was the main piece in our trip. We learned many things and Egyptian mythologies. Each time it was interesting, funny, not too short and not too long, it was perfect. He was always available for us, and each day we had all information about program to not miss anything. He even told us when we had to tip or not, he was during all the trip, from Louxor to Aswan and Abu Simbel. The boat was good except when we were parked, there were always others boats next to our, so we didn't have any view... not cool. Rooms are ok but bathroom is smelly, we asked other people and it was the same so not only ours. Food was good but not extraordinary. Servers were really nice.

Hello everyone. We took a... - Hello everyone. We took a Nile cruise with my husband on Radamis 2 on 26.12-30.12.22. We had cabin 301. Unfortunately, when we left our packed suitcases, spray and all the shower stuff were stolen from us while we were still in the cabin. Now we're in a seaside resort and we don't even have soap.
