Nice tour communication...

Mehul_S, Jan 2026
Nice tour communication was excellent throughout the cruises, tours and hot air balloon ride. Most of the guides spoke English and knowledgeable but some were hard to understand. The cruise ship was outdated for deluxe category but the staff was amazing and food was great. I will definitely book future tours through Nice tour.

A Christmas on the Nile

Antonin_T, Dec 2025
We took part in an organized 2 night Nile cruise and it was an absolutely amazing experience. We were upgraded to a luxury boat, which truly made the cruise unforgettable. The cabins were very comfortable, and the meals were generous and delicious. A special mention goes to the activities organized for the Christmas holidays, which were well thought out and added a wonderful festive atmosphere to the trip. The daily visits were perfectly well organized and extremely interesting, allowing us to discover incredible sites without any stress. We would also like to give a special thank you to our guide in Luxor, Jackie. She is kind, flexible, and very attentive. Her English is excellent, and she takes the time to clearly explain the history of the temples, making each visit dynamic and extremely engaging. Finally, it’s worth mentioning that the days for Abu Simbel and the Luxor hot air balloon start very early and are quite intense, but they are absolutely breathtaking and 100% worth it.

Over all it was fine

Amitava_D, Nov 2025
I booked 3 nights 4 days twice, confirmed then changed dates of their own showing no reason. Then again I booked for 2 nights 3 days. Then it moved smoothly. The foods , cleanliness were good. But viatorshould be more active. Even though the service provider says that the dates are changed and I reported viator , they still continued booking for the same dates and collected money

Rundown Boat with terrible food

Arnoud_V, May 2022
This boat is not well looked after. Couple of broken things in the cabin and even a massive bloodstain (or very weird red paint in a non red cabin?). Bathroom falls apart which looks very unhygienic. Food was very poor and got sick directly. Hot food was barely warm and cold food was not refrigerated. Prices of drinks are extremely high which is normal to expect on a ship. Boat stops far away from Luxor so you can't do anything without 30 minute taxi ride. You are trapped on the boat basically which docks near the bridge. Only good thing where the tours and the pool on top to cool down.

It's too much to handle.

Anonymous, Dec 2025
We met at 4am on the day of the tour, but at 1am on the day we received a call to extend the tour date by one day and had to deal with it in the middle of the night. Can you change your flight from two nights to three? He pressed the impossible on me. The reason for the day extension was bad weather, but I asked the locals and they told me the weather was good, so I don't even know if it's true anymore.

On the second day there...

Davide_C, Dec 2025
The second day we did not like it at all. We visited a temple in the morning and then all day locked up by ship (just to wait to pass through the river gate) even though we were stopped at Esna where we could see the temple.

Budget Nile

Candida_R, Apr 2025
Comida ok; pessoal simpático; 2 noites foi o suficiente; para um casal ok, para casal com filhos tenha atenção a reservar o quarto, puseram uma cadeira de praia a fazer de cama (para um miúdo de 13 anos). Se quer algum glamour ou conforto, escolha outro. Este é em modo “budget”.

Heel goed!

Jessy_C, Sep 2023
+ De kamer in de boot was heel netjes, schoon met een heel groot bed! Er was 3x per dag een uitgebreid buffet waar dat er voor iedereen wat wils was. Als vegetariërs had de chef nog wat extra apart voor ons gemaakt wat ook heel lekker was! Elke avond werd er ook wat georganiseerd zoals een buikdanseres of een traditioneel Egyptische dans met muziek. Op het dek waren veel bedjes met gratis handdoeken en een zwembad. - er was een cameraman die de hele tijd kwam filmen. Er mocht net iets meer tijd worden vrijgemaakt voor de tempels te bezoeken. Het voelde soms wat gehaast allemaal om terug op tijd op de boot te zijn.
