Luxor tour - Our guide Mina has been very attentive throughout the tour. He was also very knowledgeable about Egyptian history and would also answer any questions related to that with clear and precise answers. He made our day very enjoyable.

Unforgettable 3-day Nile cruise & amazing private guide in Luxor - We did a 3-day Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor and it was the highlight of our trip to Egypt. Everything was very well organised, comfortable and safe, and we visited all the main archaeological sites along the way. The absolute highlight was our private guide in Luxor, Mohamed Refaaie. He guided us through the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Karnak and other sites, explaining history in a very clear and engaging way. He was friendly, patient and happy to answer all our questions. You can really feel how passionate he is about his work. We left with unforgettable memories and we highly recommend this experience – especially a private tour with Mohamed in Luxor.

Cruise tour from Aswan to Luxor - Overall tour was very organized under smooth operation. Daily schedule had been constantly updated through WhatsApp in timely manner. Our tour guide, Raymond was very friendly and gave us a good understanding to historical aspects. One unfortunate thing was that we would not do balloon tour due to weather conditions but couldn’t get any refunds.

Avoid This Company at All Costs – Untrustworthy and Shifty Practices - We booked a 2 Night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor using company Nice Tours. In early December 2 weeks before our holiday, they cancelled the tour without any explanation. Worse still, they are continuing to advertise the cruise but at more than double the price we paid back in July. And we are now left stranded a few days before travel trying to find alternative. But since it's so close to the holiday all prices have increased. The booking was made through Tripadvisor and Viator. I am based in the UK and this is false advertising under UK consumer protection and breach of contract law. Nice tours are running a scam. Clearly cancelling those booking that were made at an early cheaper rate in favour of those that are willing to pay more closer to the date.

NICE TOUR UNRELIABLE - I bought in August a cruise for 4 people, departing from 19 to 21 December 2025, from Luxor to Aswan. It was a special trip, organized to celebrate the 80th birthday of my father, who has never been to Egypt. The cruise was paid in full in advance. On December 4, 2025, a few days before departure, I was notified of the cancellation without any valid explanation. To make everything even more absurd, if you visit their website the same cruise is still available for sale. Such unacceptable behavior. I had already booked hotels and travel to Aswan, of course at rates that are no longer available today. The economic and organizational impact is enormous, especially considering that it is a family holiday planned well in advance and with special emotional value. Although they have provided for a refund of the amount paid, I believe that this attitude is unfair, unprofessional and deeply disrespectful to customers. I am seriously considering taking legal action, because I find it unacceptable to be left with no alternative close to departure. NICE TOUR have proved unreliable: after this experience, I will no longer trust their services and strongly advise against anyone relying on their offers for important trips.

Along the tour, guides... - Along the tour, guides and cruise staff are very helpful and sweet. BUT, terrible terrible organization. Nothing happened on time as planned before. We always got late. We even have to skip the visit to Edfu Temple. Our luggages got lost during pick-up. The cruise boat is not a 5-star boat like it seems on the photos.
