First experience of foraging in a horse-drawn carriage - The first experience of foraging is in a horse-drawn carriage. What really impressed me. Interestingly, when we sat down to eat at night, we got some new dishes. You had a great taste and a healthy environment. We all had a lot of fun and were very happy.

Ancient wall statues that come to life - These are some really amazing wall-work statues that seemed to be fully alive. Not a bad place where to learn history. Our guide told us our history exactly like this. Strangely enough that visiting and looking at these old idols seemed to match the words of our guide. I have learned enough history to thank you for giving us such a beautiful gift. If I ever come back again I will recommend them and I will choose to guide through them.

We loved our first Cruise to Luxor! - We were picked up by our tour guide on the first day and brought to Philea and given a tour - the tour was amazing and our guide Mano Amany was very knowledgable and made sure we had an amazing experience. Then she brought us to the cruise ship. What we did not realize before is that the ship stays in Assuan/Aswan for the day so you can easily eyplore Aswan for another day or book the 2 night/3 day cruise :) The boat (Opera) looks amazing, we loved the deck and spending time up there drinking cocktails, we absolutely loved all the buffet and food options, it was so tasty! - the staff, from cleaning to reception to restaurant were extremely friendly and we loved our time there! The rooms were amazing (with, and I guess its a ship thing, the ventilation of the bathroom was not the best, which left a bit of a weird smell, but nothing serious). The sailing of the ship was so smooth that sometimes we did not even realize we were moving! And the view from the ship was simply a dream. It was so relaxing. The second day we cruised to Kom Ombo and our guide Mohamed picked us up in the evening and gave us an amazing tour for the temple and brought us back to our ship. On the third day we were picked up by our next guide who was also called Mohamed and how lucky we were - he used to work at Edfu Temple and was extremely charming and knowledgable - we could have listened to him for hours :) On the 4th day we were picked up by our tour guide Abanob, who is an extremely good Egyptologist, we went to the Valley of Kings, Karnak, Luxor Temple, Coloss of Memnos and had amazing lunch. He was very charming and knew just about everything there is about egyptian mythology - we would have loved to spend more time with him. He then brought us to our Hotel in Luxor. Last but not least I would like to mention the supreme coordination of Demiana from Nice Tours. She checked in with me every single day, evening and during tours to make sure everything was going smoothly. Even when the cruise ship sailed off a bit later, she went out of her way to call the ship, let us know how the ship will proceed and coordinated everything with the tour guide for us. She really made this experience wonderful for us. Demiana, you are a true oragnization talent :)

The cruise to take to see everything from Luxor to Aswan with Kids and know what you are seeing. - What an amazing trip. We are a family of four with two little daughters. The trip had absolutely everything from Luxor to Aswan. We saw all and our guide Tarek went above and beyond. He was incredibly knowledgeable and answered patiently all our questions. And he was great with the kids. The boat was superb. Staff friendly and always helpful and I simply have no words for the food. I have eaten more eggplant than I can count. Fruit, vegetables and everything was so tasty and well prepared. The trip can be tiring, specially for the little ones. With a few very early mornings but it is all worth it. From the hot air balloon, to Abu Simbel. Mona from the agency was super helpful as well. Always checking that everything was ok and working well and helping with all details. Egypt is such a lovely country with amazing story and loving and caring people. Sure, it can be daunting at times and merchants are... Persistent :) But with this cruise you can't go wrong. Specially for families. Special kudos to Tarek. Such an amazing person. 100% recommended

Great highlight tour - We had a great time on the boat with our guide Ahmed. He was very knowledgeable and made sure that we saw all the important things, even making sure that we would avoid the biggest crowds. We were treated very well by all staff. You could notice that it wasn't the newest boat, but most was still functional and it didn't really bother us. All in all, an amazing experience.

Everything I hoped for and more! - A very comfortable stay on the Semiramis II river cruise boat, and the Nile is beautiful to sail, but the destinations are the star turns. We were a very small group and it was an absolute treat to have Ahmed Abass as our Egyptologist guide - he is immensely knowledgeable, but also a lot of fun, and for us he struck a perfect balance between explanations and free time to explore. Ahmed is good at helping us to avoid crowds and scammers too. Thanks for a wonderful tour.

Unforgettable! - After spending 11 days in Egypt, we have to call this tour the best part of the trip! It was truly wonderful. The tour representative, Mona, reached out ahead of time to give us all the info we would need and put us at ease. Mona also checked on us periodically throughout the trip, which was very nice. Every step of this trip was smooth, from Airport pick-up to the tours themselves, we never had any issues. The actual boat itself was very nice. It was clean and the service was top notch. Our tour guide, Ahmed, was excellent! He was clearly knowledgeable, but even better, he was passionate. He was clearly a man who cares for the people he is guiding, frequently going out of his way to help others on the tour. He kept us informed and aware of the schedule at all times. He also understood what everybody wanted out of the trip and was able to cater to different peoples wants and needs. Again, best part of our time in Egypt and I hope everybody gets to experience a trip like this!
