Review of a 4-day Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor with Abu Simbel, ancient temples, meals, guide, and sunrise balloon ride.

“Firstly our tour guide Mohamed was great, he was both informative and accommodating. The rooms were basic but clean & the food was good. The experience over all was great and we loved getting to see all the amazing temples and cruise down the Nile. I would have preferred the experience to be a little more relaxed as there was abit to much crammed into only a few days. I think the spices, perfume and stone making tours could have been avoided along with the visit to the high dam. With the early mornings 4/5 am starts each day it would have been nicer to replace these experiences with more…”

Review of a 4-day Nile cruise from Cairo to Luxor with Abu Simbel, ancient temples, a sunrise balloon flight, flights, and meals.

“I really enjoyed discovering Egypt and the cruise overall was a memorable experience. The activities, especially the hot air balloon, were amazing and I truly recommend them. The service staff onboard were kind and attentive, which I appreciated a lot. However, the cruise itself could have been cleaner – I found a bug in my room, and the food unfortunately upset my stomach. Communication with Nice Tour was not always smooth, but when I had an issue it was resolved fairly quickly. In the end, despite a few downsides, the overall experience was unique and beautiful, and I would still recommend it to others who want to enjoy the Nile…”

Review of a 4-day Luxor to Aswan Nile cruise with guided temples, Abu Simbel, Philae, meals, and practical booking advice.

“The sites along the Nile are fabulous and travelling in the boat was a joy. The start times for all the visits was incredibly early and Abu Simpbel particularly so. It felt more like an endurance challenge than an infotmed visit. We didn't like the ride in the caleche at Edfu and would have preferred something more straight forward.”
