Fun, easy, relaxing and friendly - Super great experience, awesome price, very relaxing. It was nice to get away from the noise and bustle of the cities for a couple days and this cruise made everything easy and relaxing. Drinks were cheap. The cabin was comfortable with a great picture window. We did get food sickness, not necessarily from the boat food, but they gave us medicine. The main concierge on our boat was super friendly and helpful. All around awesome experience.

We really liked it. - We really enjoyed the experience. All the guides were spectacular. The attention from the agency is very good, they always helped us in our consultations. We had booked in the other app before leaving with Viator and 6 days before we were cancelled. Luckily we could make this one. It is one of the best ways to make temples, although you have little time and there are many people, because all cruises arrive at the same time, the guides are very patient when it comes to giving you room for photos.

Midsummer Aswan, Luxor Sightseeing - The family consists of five people: two in their 70s, two in their 30s, and a three-year-old. The balance between sightseeing and spending time on board was good. My guide, Mustafa, was knowledgeable and explained things with humor. The first day started at 4am. It was three hours one way to the Temple of Absimbel, which was packed into a minivan and was pretty hard. But the cruise afterwards was comfortable. It was early morning on the second and third days. Together they left around 7:00. However, this allowed us to visit the ruins and fully enjoy the cruise. On the third day we visited the ruins, there were only five members of our family in the minivan, so it was hot outside but comfortable inside. It was also good to be able to keep in close contact with the guides and the people at the company. If I had time, I might prefer a leisurely cruise such as three or four nights, but I felt that even two nights would not be enough. We were worried about sightseeing in the extreme heat as we could only choose this tour because we didn't have much time, but we were satisfied as a result.

Bucket List Trip 🪣🚢🏞️🌴🌴☀️ - We had an absolutely incredible time on our two-night cruise, and it was even better than we imagined. The trip was well organized, incredibly safe, and everything flowed seamlessly from start to finish. The boat, the sites, and the whole experience were beautiful. A special thank you to our travel agent, who truly went above and beyond for us. She worked around the clock, even helping us at 11pm when we arrived in Aswan, to ensure everything was in place. She was responsive, efficient, and made sure every detail was taken care of, allowing us to relax and enjoy every moment. Her care and dedication were evident in every step, and we’re so grateful for her support throughout this journey. Highly recommend this company if you want a stress-free, well-organized, and memorable experience in Egypt.

Excellent experience - We took a 3 day and 2 night cruise between Aswan and Luxor, and the experience was amazing. Sailing on the Nile while discovering these historic sites was a real pleasure. The staff were very attentive throughout the stay, always smiling and attentive. The food on board was varied and of good quality. The excursions, very well organized, started early in the morning to avoid the crowds and heat, a real plus to fully enjoy the visits. An experience I recommend without hesitation!

Mixed experience, wouldn't recommend - Very mixed experience. Pros: I could booked spontanousley (for the next day). They are flexibel (pick up, leaving out stuff etc.). There are few operators that offer two nights. The food was good. The staff on the boat is friendly. The nile is beautiful and it's a nice way to travel. The cabins are ok. The guide at kom ombo who's name is Amany Abosadik was really good. She stood out because the others were not so good, especially in Luxor. Cons: not so well organised. Late. Expensive (December!). Communication via whatsapp not great. The schedule of the cruise is way too full. The cruises have timetables which means you have to get up super early to visit the tempels in very little time. Especially the visit to Edfu was a mess. I didnt do abu simbel with them (thanks God) and decided to leave the tour early in Luxor. I was asked for a tip to get the transfer to my hotel in Luxor, which should be included. In Luxor we arrived at 4pm and there were no visits organised on that day, so we went to the city on our own. There are just too many cruises on the nile (92 per day when I was there). You get a window cabin, but will be parked in between other cruise ships so you can enjoy the view only while driving. I wouldn't book it again.

Ship dirty! - The room smelled strongly of fuel, the staff spoke bad English, the shower was broken, the visiting hours, often very early, unfavorable. The whole ship was rather dirty. In Luxor, the ship has docked far from the city.

Bad start. Good finish. - I have rated this tour ‘bad’ since the initial arrangements were a disaster. Our driver attempted to abandon us at the side of the road in Aswan without us knowing where or how to get to our ship. This resulted in a very stressful argument and us nearly missing the ship. Had the operator communicated arrangements effectively from the outset this might never have happened. I’ve met enough Egyptians who speak English! [Please take note]. That said after that finally getting to our ship, everything went swimmingly. The MV Nile Marquis at 30+ years is showing her age, but the accommodation was clean and comfortable. The food (not 5*) was acceptable and the staff polite and hospitable (I hope we left sufficient tip to show this!). The sun deck had a large chilled plunge pool and plenty of space with cover from the sun to watch the Nile go by. Notwithstanding the shambles of the journey from Abu Simbel [enough said!], the other tours were well run and the guides pleasant and informative. Though I wish we had had the option of not having have the ubiquitous carriage drawn by an emaciated scouring horse at Edfu.
