Great, seamless experience with Mohamed - Mohamed Gobran was a great guide. Loved having him along on the boat to go along with our group to each stop, explain the agenda each day and a brief introduction of the site in advance of entry. He made everything seamless and was animated in his explanation. Wonderful experience. The boat itself could be nicer but that is separate from the guide experience which was delightful.

awesome cruise and friendly tour guide - We booked the cruise “Egilika” for our first’s year wedding anniversary and we had an amazing experience and breathtaking views of Nile river.
Cruise rooms were comfortable, friendly staff's hospitality, food is also OK but vegetarian options were less.
And our guide “Mahmoud Amin” was awesome, he had immense knowledge about the ancient and historic places.
He was polite, friendly and always ready to help.
Overall experience was awesome.
I highly recommend this guided cruise for anyone seeking a captivating blend of history and leisure on the beautiful Nile River.

Fantastic 4 day 3 night Nile cruise! - Really enjoyed the 4 day 3 night cruise. Be prepared for some early starts but they were well worth it to get to see all the amazing temples / tombs at Aswan, Kom Ombo, Edfu and Luxor. Mahmoud was a great guide, as well as being very flexible and helpful. Food on the cruise was nice and plentiful. The staff on the ship were very friendly. The balloon ride was a great experience as well as the optional Nubian village tour. I would definitely recommend the tour. I would add some photos but I took that many I would not do the review justice by only adding a few.
