We were delighted to receive a free upgrade to a luxury Nile cruise ship, which truly elevated our experience. The ship was beautiful, with spacious and comfortable rooms, exceptional attention to detail, and stunning views along the Nile at every turn. The food on board was consistently excellent—fresh, varied, and perfectly presented—and the staff went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome and relaxed. Each stop along the cruise offered fascinating sightseeing, and the tour guides brought Egypt’s incredible history to life with their engaging storytelling and humor. A special mention to Aladin in Luxor, who was not only knowledgeable but also great fun to spend time with. Sadly, our hot-air balloon ride was cancelled due to weather, but the team handled it professionally, issuing a full refund and offering the chance to reschedule. Overall, an unforgettable trip that combined comfort, culture, and genuine hospitality along the magical Nile.

We had an amazing time on the cruise. George was representative of Nice tours and he helped us with everything. We were 4 girls and he made us feel safe and comfortable in the whole trip. The shot was amazing. The amenities were good and it was clean. The visits were great and everything went smoothly so we could actually have relaxing time on our 2 days on board. Nice experience to have. Recommend

We had a really great 3 days on this Nile cruise! It was truly fantastic to visit all the temples and we were super happy with our assigned group. We were with the same people on all our trips which felt very safe and fun! The transport to all the temples were great and the Deluxe/Luxury cruise which we chose was super fresh and the rooms were top tier, as well as the food! The sun deck is lovely and the pool is super refreshing. Our last day was packed with temple visits which was high tempo but also fun and really memorable. Our guide on day 3, Mahmood, was amazing and provided us with so much history and knowledge. A tip is to bring many snacks as the day is packed with activities and the valley of the kings especially is very hot and with lots of people! The only downside was that many times the message we got from Nice tour with our schedule didn’t match with the info from the crew on the boat, regarding times etc. There was a lot of lobby or parking lot waiting time some days.

The cruise & the hot air balloon was the highlight of our trip and I think the best way to explore Aswan and Luxor. Some part of the trip was frustrating, not gonna lie. It started with an early pick up at 04:00am which almost departed at 06:00am with the long wait and pick up of other tourists. Followed by a 4 hr bus drive to Abu Simbel Temple. The long drive seems endless with heavy eyes, trying to recuperate from lack of sleep. It was magnificent and nothing like the other temples. Due to the time restraint, you 'll only spend 2 hrs in this area. We lost our AC half of the travel time back to Downtown Aswan with the 100F temperature outside, it was diabolical even in early October. Everything else was pleasant after we check in to the Cruise, the food varies each meal, quick service and the staff were nice.Our cabin was also clean and get serviced. Beverage is not included and can be added to your room. The rest of the tour guides we had was meh, except for the lady guide in Luxor

The cruise was so good, the crew was incredible and supportive all the time and specially Helmy who were always there when we need it making our experience the best, we got the chance to talk to him and he explained a lot of the questions we had about Egyptian culture and he was kind and respectful! The best guide we had was in Luxor we really loved the way Mina explained all the history and his knowledge is unmatched , he’s patient, he explains everything , responds to every questions and gives you time for pictures on top of that he’s VERY respectful and nice! His English is incredible.. YOU HAVE TO ASK to get a tour with him!
