Amazing memories of the Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan - We had an amazing time with an incredible itinerary provided by the tour company. Our Guide, Ahmed Sliem, was incredibly knowledgeable about all things Egyptian history. His English was very good and he was able to answer any questions we had. He went above and beyond looking after us and feeling safe. He provided invaluable tips and advice without any pressure. He has a great sense of humour, but also takes his role very seriously and obviously very proud of his country and the company he works for. We would not hesitate in recommending Ahmed for anyone interested in doing this type of tour. We would also like to acknowledge the great communication with the company and the excellent itinerary that was included in our package.

Amazing tour with George - Highly recommend our excellent tour guide George! He has an extremely profound knowledge of Egyptian history. During our visits to the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Temple of Horus and other attractions, his explanations were not limited to classic introductions. He also shared a lot of other relevant knowledge, allowing us to have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of ancient Egyptian culture. George is professional, patient and thoughtful, which made our trip wonderful and memorable. 强烈推荐导游George!他对埃及历史有着非常专业且深入的了解,在我们游览帝王谷、卡纳克神庙、荷鲁斯神庙等景点时,讲解内容并不局限于经典介绍,还会拓展许多相关知识,让我们对古埃及文化有了更全面、深刻的认识。全程专业耐心,讲解生动细致,为整个行程增添了很多收获与乐趣,非常值得信赖!

Great! - We booked our honeymoon cruise with Luxor and Aswan Travel, and they did a great job giving information about the different options, and in the end we ended up at the most wonderful cruise from Luxor to Aswan with Princess Farida Dahabiya. Our guide Ahmed Sliem was very knowledgeable and guided us through the four days of the cruise with facts and a great sense of humor, giving us the necessary details and also lots of time to explore on our own. He definitely contributed to making the trip one of our best in our lives. I would definitely use their services again if I were to come back to Egypt.

Nile River Cruise Lives Up to the Hype! - We have just finished our trip up the Nile from Luxor to Aswan and it was excellent. The communications from Luxor and Aswan Travel were great and they took care of everything. Very impressed. Our ship was the Blue Shadow and we didn’t really know what to expect. It was perfect for the trip. The highlight for us was our guide, Mahmoud Masry. It was wonderful getting to know him and having him share his knowledge of the beautiful sights we saw along the way. We especially liked his style of sharing information and then giving us plenty of time to explore on our own. It’s been a great experience!!

Happy Honeymoon with Hamdi the Great! - If you are visiting Luxor and Aswan, you need Hamdi as your guide. Even with a flight delay, he navigated us through Karnak and Luxor temples like a pro, beating the crowds and sharing incredible insights into Egyptian history. He is patient, takes great photos, and is incredibly thoughtful, he even helped me track down a hair straightener! Hamdi is energetic, kind, and knows everything there is to know about Egypt. Don't book anyone else!

Great Nile cruise thanks to great tour guide - Besides being always punctual, which is not a given in Egypt, our tour guide George has a long history as a tour guide (17 years). He was very knowledgeable about the history behind the temples between Luxor and Aswan and came across as a very likeable person who was pleased to share his country’s rich heritage with us. I would strongly recommend George as a tour guide for the Nile cruise.

Magical cruise on the Nile! - If I could rate this cruise 6-stars I would… It was an absolutely incredible trip and one I will be recommending to all friends and family. The whole booking process from start to finish with Luxor and Aswan Travel was simple, efficient and great value. We spent four nights aboard the Steigenberger Minerva travelling from Luxor to Aswan and the whole experience was truly memorable. The boat was beautiful, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful, the facilities excellent and the food in the restaurant was of high quality. Best of all was our private tour guide for the four days - Mahmoud Hassan. His knowledge of ancient Egypt and the sites that we visited was second to none. Every day we came away from our visits with so much more understanding of what we’d seen than we otherwise would have. Not only that, he was friendly, punctual and adapted his approach to make sure it was interesting for our children (aged 9 and 12). Our cruise simply would not have been the same without him with us.

Great except for the crowds (and the smog in Cairo). - Excellent, very well informed guide, Mahmoud who made all the difference. Good value for money. Good food and service on boat. Good atmosphere. One or two more days might have been better. Way too many people (crowds) everywhere, making it almost impossible to properly see any of the temples. No wat to control the crowds I guess, but for me they ruined the experience.
