Amazing trip, covering...
Amazing trip, covering many of the most prolific and interesting sites of the incredible history that Egipt has to offer. The guide we were provided with, Ahmed Saleh Sultan was increadibly knowledgeable on the history and culture, while also making sure we were always aware of what to expect and how to deal with the local specifics and customs. Without a guide like him, this trip would never be as interesting or satisfying.

Easy, Well-Planned Day to Abu Simbel
Communication was smooth from start to finish, and everything was well organized. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, making the visit to Abu Simbel even more enjoyable. The van transfer was comfortable, and the hotel pickup made everything very convenient.

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

Absolutely recommendable
Travelling with Hany, our driver, was an outstanding interesting and informative experience. He was exceptionally attentive without being annoying and gave us a lot of information concerning land and people. Besides, he had a lot of charm and wit and we had a lot of fun during that long drive. Abu Simbel, of course, was really impressive and is absolutely worth a visit. As we arrived at noon, the masses had already gone which made the visit even better.

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.

Taxi from Aswan to Luxor
A good way to travel from Aswan to Luxor and seeing a few sites along the way. Our driver was pleasant and our two guides were very informative but did tended to speak very quickly. So much information and names to remember and it adds so much more to the trip understanding what we were actually looking at rather than just seeing cravings on the wall.

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

Great one-on-one varied tour
Overall a very good trip. We were lucky enough to have our own personal guide with driver (unfortunately can’t remember her name). I guess if others have booked the same tour it may not be a one-on-one trip.
We visited the Aswan Dam and Philae Temple (via motor boat) and Unfinshed Obelisk. Great history and our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Allowed us to ask lots of questions and not just about the trip, but can also ask general questions about Egypt and the local area.
Only negative was that the trip included a stop off at a Spice store and a Perfume store where both felt like a hard sell and we felt a little pressured into purchases where the prices weren’t really cheap.

Great cruise !
4 days packed with visits, be ready for very early morning wake up, but well worth it to see all these amazing sites. Boat was a bit old but ok, food was good, and we have nice tea time on the boat sundeck. Our guide Khaled did a great job at managing the schedule to do àl the sites, with a good balance of explanation and free time to explore the temples. He was very profesional and organised, was helpful with advice and bought all tickets for us in advance so no lines to purchase on sites. Overall great tour!

Best way to see Egypt!
Our ship “Amwaj Livingstone” was one of the best cruise ships on the Nile, full window view from the room. Great service and plenty of delicious meals.
Well covered Excursions, generally starting very early in the morning, but absolutely worth it. A good guide makes a lot of difference!
The extra trip to Abu Simbel started at 04:00 am and included total of 7 hours car ride. The temple was amazing, but the trip can be tiring.
The agent “Egypt Unlimited” was very professionally organized and very helpful. We’d recommend them to anyone coming to Egypt.

Ok-ish Ship, Great Guide!
The ship was a low-average one with decent facilities that get the job done for the purpose of exploring upper Egypt in a cruise.
Our guide Talaal was an amazing guy, knowledgeable about Egyptian history and always reachable for a conversation or clarifying doubts about the itinerary. I recommend him 100%.
The group of people I shared with was the most amazing one I could have wished for, that was a great plus to the trip and a reason to get this package.
You're mostly overpaying in some things but the worst was the Karnak Temple's lights show that is a dated show for which the guide charged 50 USD and is probably worth 10 USD. Totally skippable that one.
