Our guide Sam made the trip worthwhile
The trip started with a meet and greet at Aswan airport. The river boat representative was there to meet us and to hard us off to our private guide.
The river boat was nice with a lounge and bar and also a pool/spa on the top deck. Breakfast/lunch and dinner was buffet style on a lower deck. Food was mostly local menus. The cabin was good size and the bathroom was reasonable size. The shower was hot and strong pressure.
The tours Itenerary were arranged by tour boat company. Our guide Sam, was with us for all tours, arranged for the tickets. He was very knowledgeable about all the Egyptian temples that we visited and provided not only the historical facts, but all the back-stories.he was funny and engaging. He also arranged the private car and drivers for the excursions, including the boat ride to visit the Temple of Philae.

Abu Simbel Tour, door to door service.
The Viator tour of Abu Simbel worked out GREAT for the 4 of us...
We were picked up promptly at the dock where are river cruise ship was situated, returned to that precise location as well. Our ride was comfortable and we had an outstanding tour guide, Omar. He provided a thorough explanation of the statuary and construction and relocation of this marvel

A must do Assuan
Our driver Ahmed was super nice and he brought us some fresh drinks for the trip.
Thank to the two guides (Fatma and Amani) for showing us the Edfu Temple and the Kom Ombo temple in so much detail.
The two guides know English very well and they are very kind.
We really appreciate their time!!

The best option
The organization was excellent. Hazem Sayed was attentive to everything from beginning to end and was very kind — so much so that I booked another tour with them. We had Ahmed Achraf as our guide, and he explained all the history in great detail and was attentive to our questions. I 100% recommend them.

Hady and the temples are amazing
My boyfriend and I had an amazing time on our Nile cruise! Hady was an incredible guide and is so knowledgeable about all of the sites we visited. He also made sure that everyone in the group was taken care of at all times and truly made our stay. All of the temples and stops are incredible and Hady’s wonderful explanations only make them more special. He is also incredibly responsive at all times and great at setting up any transport or information you may need. Hady is such an amazing guide and this trip was fabulous. Would definitely recommend :) The itinerary also includes so much Abu Simbel, hot air balloon, and so much more. Definitely do the Nubian village experience as well

This was well worth the...
This was well worth the money paid for the boat experience and the multiple different temples travelled to. Note that you will be up from 3:00-4:00am every single day and group dependant, home again as late at 7:30pm. These are very long and tiring days but you get a lot done. For the air balloon, we did not initially book it and looked into doing so on Viator and it was going to cost an additional $350 NZD each which was out of budget however, in person, we were able to book the experience for $137NZD so if you want save some money do that. Food was fantastic on board, lots of different options. Tour guide Khaled was funny and definitely knowledge but with the long days it was sometimes hard to follow along. Great sights and there is a student discount so bring your ID

Amazing experience
The experience was very nice and well organised. Our guide helped us all the way and explained all our questions with great detail. The cruise was very nice, spacious and very clean. The crew were super friendly and helpful and the food choices were great. I would 100% recommend this experience for anyone who wants to see a little bit of everything.

Lovely experience
The driver was respectful. Arrived promptly. He didn't make me feel uncomfortable as a solo female traveller. He's also a careful driver, avoiding road bumps and potholes.
He sign posted me to the ticket stand and didn't just drop me off at the car park. He did not smoke in the car.
I will recommend Mohammed from Nubia. I had read bad reviews about Emo tours prior to travelling and I was avoiding them. I only realised when the driver arrived that it was an emo tours tour.
I found Abu Simbel underwhelming and not worth the hype. I prefer Karnak and Luxor Temples the statues and every other thing.

Highly recommend
We truly enjoyed the cruise and our tour of Luxor with Nervien. The organization and coordination were very smooth—there was never a moment when we felt lost or confused. We felt very well taken care of, and Enjy was very communicative and helpful throughout.
The cruise was definitely worth the money and exceeded our expectations, with a lovely boat and great food. The crew was delightful—very polite and helpful.
Nervien made our Luxor experience unforgettable, sharing a wealth of interesting background and history. The tour guides in Abu Simbel, Kom Ombo, and Edfu were also excellent.
Highly recommend!

As others pointed out,...
As others pointed out, the tour includes only the driver and the guide is waiting for you on site and gives you 15 min explanation. You have 2 hr to explore Abu Simbel which is beautiful and magnificent. As long as you are aware of this, and accept it, it is a good tour. Lunch included is a traditional Egyptian food which was surprisingly good. The driver did not speak English well, but was very nice and accommodating

Once in a lifetime trip.
We took a Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor and the ship was outstanding!! We sailed on the Amwaj, 4 days 3 nights, it was clean and very comfortable. They had Great food, staff was friendly and attentive. They even surprised us at dinner with a birthday cake on my husband’s birthday.
Our private guide thru the 4 days was Ahmed. He was an excellent guide, friendly, and very well versed in Egyptian culture. Ahmed looked after us and made sure we were comfortable and safe. He stayed on schedule and even offered us Egyptian coffee, which was outstanding.
Also included with our booking was a balloon ride over Luxor at sunrise. It was absolutely beautiful and so worth it.
This was a once in a lifetime trip, and we would definitely recommend this cruise. Make sure to ask for the best guide they have; Ahmed 😊
