Very good experience!

Nefertiti_K, Feb 2022
The best was having Ismail as a guide. He's a very kind, caring, respectul and knowledgable man. He is passionate about his job and explained everything making the tour very interesting. We were very lucky to have him as a guide. The cruise is well organized, the excursions cover the highlights, there's plenty of food, people are friendly. Sitting on the top deck looking at the Nile is a breathtaking experience. Abu Simbel is far but definitely worth it. It is nice that you will be divided in small groups to make the excursions. Be aware that when you book with Viator they will rebook you with local agencies and you will be put on any vessel depending on availability. You cannot chose the vessel. Wifi hardly ever worked. There should be evening entertainment.
