Great - We were on the boat called Zeina Fabulous, clean and quite modern boat. Staff mostly great. Abu simbel and other activities, transport and quite included but not entry fees. We had all tours to ourselves. The trip to Abu simbel was with approx 8 other people but fine. 6/7 hour journey but well worth it. Abu simbel is in excellent. Just be aware tipping room cleaners, guides and drivers is extra. Our tour was booked through Viator with Nile king travel. Definitely do the hot air ride balloon in Luxor it was unbelievable good.
