Motor noise ruins it

Philipp_H, Feb 2026

We booked this the day before as the other operator canceled on us. Viator even contacted them to confirm they have the luxury option available, so I booked it. Then they offered us to switch to a Dahibaya, sending pictures videos of the boat. That looked very nice and I agreed. The boat we were then given was not the same, basically not luxury boat but 30yr old relic. They offered a 20% discount which I accepted as had no other choice. The boat uses a very load motor engine to run the pumps and light, and you hear and smell it from every cabin and it ruins any semblance of peace and quite that they so advertise all the time. They have not heard about battery technology even though with what we paid for this they should be easily be able to afford this. If they would do this change, the rest would be fine. They also asked us to visit Edfu temple at 5am. No idea why again they force us to wake up again so early. Some random story about lock us but frankly I trust nothing they say anymore. Do the cruise for the tick the box effect, but certainly not to relax.

Fun, easy, relaxing and friendly

Ehren_B, Dec 2025

Super great experience, awesome price, very relaxing. It was nice to get away from the noise and bustle of the cities for a couple days and this cruise made everything easy and relaxing. Drinks were cheap. The cabin was comfortable with a great picture window. We did get food sickness, not necessarily from the boat food, but they gave us medicine. The main concierge on our boat was super friendly and helpful. All around awesome experience.

Ling_C, Apr 2025

Absolutely loved the cruise - from the staff to the food to the activities. I didn’t know what to expect in the beginning but the overall experience really impressed me. I appreciated all the behind-the-scenes work from the staff, your seamless orchestration really made an huge difference. A huge thank you and I highly recommend this cruise to anyone who is looking to see the highlights of temples along the Nile.

Response from Host, May 2025

Great guides! Cool experience but would recommend finding your own boat and arranging through a different company/group.

Dana_K, Dec 2024

This is definitely an experience you want, but I just recommend booking your own boat and guides for the places through a different company/goup. Overall we still had a wonderful time, however a few things to note: The person from the trip/travel company that organized that we were in touch with was not organized. They always told us the wrong times and info or we had to ask many questions to get any information on our plans for each day. We were not ever sent that information ahead of time (or we would get it in the middle of the night so we weren’t able to arrange our day). They didn’t even know what boat we were on when we arrived places and we would be waiting for such long times every day then rushed/herded through our visits. The first day was not organized well, 6 of us got squashed into this old van that had no heat and holes that cold air came through so for 4 hours we drove to Abu Simbel freezing. The driver had no English ask we had no info from the organizer of guide. When we go my there we got rushed into this large group and rushed to the temple. It was gorgeous! But the drive and disorganization tainted it a bit for us. Additionally we spent some time there and then got back in this can for another 4 hour drive. We did not get any water or snacks or food. No stops, and we did not get back and dropped until almost 4pm (pick up was at 4am so for 12 hours no food). The guide at abu Simbel was GREAT! All of the guides arranged at the locations have been GREAT. The best part. The boat was on the older side but clean, staff amazing and food was awesome! The biggest thing is that the organization and communication is lacking and makes you feel always unsure or out of place. Everyday the pickup time for boat vs company text (usually that morning unless we asked about it the night before) was always wrong. If the boat says 8:30, the company said 8am then the pickup wouldn’t happen until 9-9:30am. just be aware so you don’t unnecessarily rush.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the stunning sights, found the guides at the locations exceptional, and appreciated the cleanliness, food, and staff on the boat. These elements are core to our mission of delivering memorable experiences. However, we deeply regret the organizational and communication issues you faced during your trip. Your concerns about delays, miscommunication, and the discomfort during the Abu Simbel journey are taken very seriously. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. We are actively reviewing our processes with our team to ensure that information is shared in a timely manner, transportation is comfortable, and guests have a seamless experience throughout their journey. Thank you for highlighting both the positives and areas for improvement. Your feedback is invaluable and will help us refine our services. We hope you’ll consider traveling with us again in the future, allowing us the opportunity to provide you with a smoother and more enjoyable experience.

Great tour and guide

Mahesh_V, Dec 2024

The tour was excellent. Tour guide Mohammed has lot of knowledge and explained us in detail by answering our questions patiently. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Ship dirty!

Marco_C, Feb 2026

The room smelled strongly of fuel, the staff spoke bad English, the shower was broken, the visiting hours, often very early, unfavorable. The whole ship was rather dirty. In Luxor, the ship has docked far from the city.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Prior to your arrival, we were in contact several days in advance to arrange all details of your trip, and I remained in touch throughout your stay to follow up and help avoid any inconvenience. Your reservation was confirmed on a 5-star deluxe cruise, and we booked the vessel exactly as requested. Had we been informed during the trip about the issues you mentioned—such as the room condition or any service concerns—we would have done our best to assist immediately. It would have been possible to change your cabin to one more suitable for you, or even arrange a different cruise if needed, as guest comfort is always our priority. Regarding the docking location in Luxor, the cruise ships must dock at their designated marinas, and many vessels berth at similar or even farther from the city center depending on port availability and traffic on the Nile. We truly regret that some aspects of the experience were not as expected. Thank you For your Time .

Fantastically well...

Pablo_R, Nov 2025

Fantastically well organized so that everything is smoothly and smoothly articulated, from the boat to the guides on the ground

We really liked it.

Sofia_G, Nov 2025

We really enjoyed the experience. All the guides were spectacular. The attention from the agency is very good, they always helped us in our consultations. We had booked in the other app before leaving with Viator and 6 days before we were cancelled. Luckily we could make this one. It is one of the best ways to make temples, although you have little time and there are many people, because all cruises arrive at the same time, the guides are very patient when it comes to giving you room for photos.

Excellent experience

Anaelle_G, May 2025

We took a 3 day and 2 night cruise between Aswan and Luxor, and the experience was amazing. Sailing on the Nile while discovering these historic sites was a real pleasure. The staff were very attentive throughout the stay, always smiling and attentive. The food on board was varied and of good quality. The excursions, very well organized, started early in the morning to avoid the crowds and heat, a real plus to fully enjoy the visits. An experience I recommend without hesitation!
