I have done 2 Nile cruises. The first one cost thousands for my wife and I, the second was with viator for 700 each. Although the first was longer but the quality was similar. With the Viator trip we were able to go to Abul Simbel and a hot air balloon ride The value was so much better with the Viator trip. We've used viator all around the world and have most always had a good experience

The absolute best part of the adventure was Ahmed our tour guide. He was amazingly good and attentive and knowledgeable about Aswan where he lives and Luxor where some of his family lives. Just fabulous 4 days. One night in Luxor we left the boat and walked along the port area down to the Luxor Museum and back. We returned a few hours later to the boat and found Ahmed waiting for us as if he were our parent waiting for his kids to come home for the night. Such a great host. And such a great trip

This trip completely changed our ideas about Egypt. Mainly thanks to our guide Ahmed, who became the link between history and us. He breathed life into the walls, the hielogriffs, the tombs. Through his mouth came stories and words that transported us back to those times. Thanks to him, it all came to life, he transported us back in time and took an extraordinary journey with us. Until now, we also remember his energy and smile, which attracted people. It was a great honour for us. The cruise itself also surprised us. The yacht was very clean, the food delicious and the level of service top notch. This cruise was the perfect combination of cultural immersion and active exploration. And the view of the sun setting in the red sky on the Nile we will never forget. I could not recommend it enough. Five stars all round! Totally grateful Marta&Matthias 🕊️🤟🏻
