“Amazing Nile Cruise. Our Guied Mohamoud is an amazing person. He took us to many different temples and explain many details. Without him we have no clue what we are look at.

Review of a 5-day Luxor to Aswan Nile cruise with balloon ride, temples, Abu Simbel, meals, guides, costs, and practical tips.

“visiting Temples, I prefer Karnak over all other temples. I don't think Abu Simbel is not worth the 3 hour travel and early wake up. over all Nile River cruise is a wonderful experience specifically for 1st time traveller to Egypt. it's very educational, the guides are well versed on their craft. I specifically like Gabriel, he took the time to take us in every nook and crannies of Edfu and Kom Ombo and even made an impromptu show to make us understand and remember the characters we talked about. kudos to you Family.”

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…”

He made us feel safe and I recommend him 100%!! This tour is perfect for people who are adventurous and want to see as much as they can for the time that they have.
