This is an absolute must cruise. Everything was perfect!!!!!!! Our cruise guide, who was basically almost a private tour guide was spectacular. He did everything and anything we wanted and made sure that we were always safe and protected etc. The cruise boat was perfect. The food on the boat was good!!! You can arrange a cruise such as this for 10 times the price and probably not do better as a cruise / tour of the region!!!!!!!! Well well worth the tour!!!!!!!

This trip was very enjoyable with my friends. The boat was spotless, the food was excellent, and the guide brought history alive. Transfers were smooth, and the staff service was fantastic.
Aswan is one of the most beautiful, calm and best places for tourism. We were very, very, very happy with this trip. It was truly one of the most beautiful places I have visited. Thanks to the trip guide. We had a great time.
A cruise filled with historic stops and monumental attractions. The views of the Nile are majestic and the ship crew go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable.
Working staff are not professional and are always asking for tips, and the ticket price is not as described 47 USD, actually charged 80USD one person…Big Lie
The cruise ship Dolphin’s cabin looked nothing like the picture shown in the booking. In actuality it is very old and worn and definitely not five star. The foods served on board were extremely bland, with very limited choices and variations. The tours provided were very memorable with lots of Egyptian history, but you are constantly being hustled by the locals everywhere you go. You are required or more precisely demanded to tip a certain amount of money for every single thing they do for you. As an example, when we were ready to check out and leave the ship, we were told we had to tip 100 LE for baggage handling which we did. That handling entailed moving 2 pieces of luggage off the ship and 20 feet up the gangplank to our shuttle (50’ total). We could have done it ourselves if given the choice. Somehow, in that short distance, different crew members got ahold of our luggage and demanded we pay them a second time otherwise they would not give us our luggage. This was the worst vacation we ever had. We would not recommend this cruise. We did enjoy our time with our guide Mahmood. He was dedicated, detail oriented and very knowledgeable of Egyptian history.
