It was one of the best trips as I always wanted to see Egypt and I wasn’t disappointed. The first day we met our private guide Ahmed to visit Karnak and Luxor temples. Ahmed is a wonderful guide. We were amazed by his character – he is kind, straightforward and he explains very well the history of Ancient Egypt. We imagined very well how the Ancient Egyptians lived and worshiped their deities. Furthermore Ahmed was able to answer every single question we had, it made easier for us to be interested as we would not be left with unanswered questions. The employees of the boat were also very nice and the food was different each time, great and delicious. Besides the peoples we met, the temples are amazing and you can check with your own eyes how the Ancient Egyptians were clever and dedicated to live a stable life resisting to the enemies and internal political fights. Their buildings is the major proof. Thank you Ahmed and the personnel of the boat !
Everything about the trip met or exceeded our expectations! The ship was luxurious, the guides were knowledgeable and personable, the sites visited were incredible, and we had plenty of time to explore them. Special shout-out to Hassan, our agent, who was incredibly helpful and responsive by WhatsApp, checking in regularly and addressing any questions and concerns with grace and good humor, and even rebooking the felucca ride to a different day when there wasn’t enough wind at the time originally scheduled. She made everything so smooth and stress-free!
We opted for this tailor-made cruise with visits included, to integrate it into the itinerary of our trip to Egypt. Everything was very well organized, we had a private guide (English speaking) for each of the excursions. The cruise went very well too. Communication by message with the Nice tours tourist agency was optimal, via Samira who was responsive and very kind. We recommend ++!
