He was always friendly, attentive, and happy to answer our questions. Thank you, King Mina, for making our trip so memorable! Highly recommended!

King Mina made this trip special! Very well organised, educational and fun!
When going on guided tours, your guide really makes or breaks your experience. In this instance, our guide, King Mina, really made it for me. The temples and tombs are of course magnificent, but the depth of knowledge Mina has was amazing, while keeping it light and entertaining. He has helped me with information on Luxor beyond the boundaries of the tour, even after the cruise has finished. Also he and another guide, Mahmoud, really went above and beyond to help resolve an issue with my room, and I couldn't be more grateful. While the ship they use varies, in my instance I was happy with it. Meals were plentiful and varied, rooms were cleaned daily. Two downsides were that the price of extras, such as bottled water, beer, etc, were excessive. I expect a markup, but I think it was too much (4 euros for a 1.5 litre bottle of water, where most shops it is 81 cent) and I spent less there because of this. Also, where I had an issue with my room, this was exclusively resolved by our gracious guides, where management were just visibly irritated and unapologetic. All in all, a great trip!
We had a great time on our Nile cruise! The boat and the crew was nice. Be prepared for very early mornings (around 4am) to visit the temples. The real highlight was our guide, King Mina! Passionate, funny, unique and incredibly kind. He always did his best to help us and make our experience special. Huge thanks to him!
Talaat is a very good guide, with an excellent command of English. He tells very interesting stories about the sights. The trip with him was wonderful.
What I appreciated was the plentiful and fresh selection of food at the buffet and adherence to the listed schedule found in trip advisor. However , the pool and jacuzzi on the sub deck were very small . Additionally, the selection of non alcoholic drinks at the main restaurant was limited to mostly soft drinks.
Had an amazing experience on the cruise with our guide Khaled El Saad. He was very professional, very organised en everything was just smooth from beginning to end. The knowledge shared regarding the temples and the history was very clear and very interesting.
Khaled El Saad, was our tour guide during the nile cruise. He explained a lot and made it a very interesting experience..
We had a wonderful time during our 4-day Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor with the help of our guide Khaled. It was a memorable experience
Our tour arrangement is perfect and the guide Khaled el Saadi is great! We see a lot of ancient Egyptian culture and it’s amazing
The daily programs were well designed and I have seen so many remarkable monuments in just 4 days. The room, food and overall service were good. Definitely worth the price I paid for. Though there was an issue with how the restaurant staff handled my drink order, my guide Khaled al Saadi was supportive and handled it for me. Recommended.
My tour guide is very friendly and solves all the problems we have. He arranged some one pick up us at Aswan train station in an early morning and have us an early check in. Due to we spent all night on train and felt very tired . We were very appreciative. We highly recommend him for everyone who wants to travel in Egypt.
I am fond of traveling to historical sights. When I was planning my trip to Luxor and Aswan, I knew that the best option would be cruise but I was hesitant about which cruise to choose. This cruise with the guide Khaled El Saadi met and exceed all my expectations. Looking back, I am happy about my choice and it was a correct and rewarding decision to make. Khaled goes extra mile to help out in times of need. I was traveling with my mom, who had difficulties with walking, due to her arthritis. He arranged the easier means of transportation for my mom, and arranged the help of staff with her movements. Furthermore, he and the staff of the cruise ship organized a pleasant surprise event for my mom's birthday. It's been an unforgettable experience. I'd recommend this specific cruise tour to anyone who is planning to travel to Aswan and Luxor.
Mena R. did an amazing job as our highly knowledgeable tour guide, which made the entire experience truly pleasurable. I especially enjoyed touring the temples at Abu Simbel and Luxor. Riding in a hot air balloon overlooking the Valley of the Kings and the temple complex of Queen Hatshepsut was an unforgettable highlight. I also appreciated the authentic Egyptian cuisine arranged by Mena. I highly recommend this Nile Cruise adventure.
I would like to share some feedback regarding my recent experience with your team. While I appreciate the opportunity to take part in the activities, I did encounter a few challenges I believe are important to bring to your attention. During the excursion, I noticed staff members speaking about guests in Arabic while in their presence, knowing that we could not understand. When I raised this concern, I was informed it was simply because their colleagues did not understand English. I explained that this came across as unprofessional, and I understand that management addressed the issue with the staff. I appreciate that step, but I do hope further training can help ensure guests feel fully respected and included in future experiences. In addition, my group had booked and paid for a hot air balloon ride, which unfortunately was canceled due to wind conditions. While I understand that safety must always come first, I would like to request information on how we can be reimbursed for the balloon ride that did not take place.
Talaat Abdo was a perfect guide in every way, he helped us discover all the secrets of ancient Egypt and the place. Highly recommended
Our tour to Egypt was amazing thanks toTalaat Abdo, our guide we discovered about ancient history. All visits to the temples were great and well explained. We had the best time
Amazing friendly and helpful staff on ship, tour guide was very knowledgeable. A great trip to see lots of different history
This was a well rounded trip. the boat was way better then expected and very clean. but the beat thing was the guide King Mina, he has studied and knows alot. I wished it was longer, not because there wasn't enough time, no its because it was way to fun to finish.♥️♥️
Mina is so professional about every aciant Egyptian story and Michael is very kindly to us. Mark is the best driver in this trip(very stable and comfort in the car he drove)
Good food, clean rooms, great tour guides. Mina helped us to navigate Egyptian markets and gave us great advice in Luxor.
We have a great time with Khaled the guide for our 4 days 3 nites down the Nile from Aswan to Luxor. Patience and calm as he is, managed a little united nation make up of 8 from India, Columbia, Puerto Rico, Kenya, Morocco / America, and Singapore, making sure the trip runs smoothly and timely.
Good cruise. Michael our main tour guide arranged things smoothly. He's nice too. The other tour guides were well coordinated with Michael. The stops and visits were amazing.. including Abu Simbel and the Luxor temples. The food on the ship was clean and yummy. Good
Lucky to have Dr Khaled in the group, love the way he explain and tell the story. For me it’s easy to understand and remember. What I like about him he is always on time n responsible to all of us.
Khaled El saady this was a great tour whit an amazing guide as well. He explained everything good and gave me a great experience and he was so kind as well
All my experience is the best moment with my sister that I ever had and the tour guide was very helpful and really knowledgeable regarding of the history…and I really recommended for all to choose the tour guide Dr Khaled as your experience at the Egypt..I will repeat again for the next trip.
My sister and I traveled by ourselves and we felt completely safe. The guide Michael was excellent and I could tell that he really enjoyed his work. He was always pleasant and patient with the entire group. He welcomed questions, kept us on schedule, and made sure we were will taken care of and safe. My favorite part was cruising down the Nile. It was so peaceful and tropical. Food was adequate with breakfast being my favorite with an omelette bar. Food was often not hot however and you have to pay for all drinks, to include water, on the boat. The boat was adequate but room thermostat could not be adjusted (or was malfunctioning). It was very very cold or we had to turn it off. Nile cruises are all priced differently (some including all the entrance fees, tips, drinks, etc). If you select the option to not have entrance fees included you still have to pay that when you go on the tours so there isn't much of a cost savings unless you do not attend the tours- we didn't realize this when trying to choose a tour. Another consideration when budgeting for your trip, we tipped the crew separately as well as Micheal. Overall we had a really pleasant experience and would absolutely do it again!
This was an Amazing chance to see so much in the short time we had. 100% recommend for those on a budget. I was concerned about an organised trip especially when we arrived and we had a talk about enternce fees and extra cost but I had researched and found the pricing to be fair and actually took the worry out of who to tip and when, so we could relax and enjoy. Our guilde Khalid was so helpfulfull and Knowledgeable willing to answer your questions and would ask the group how much free time they wanted after he explained the temples. He would exchange money for you help you with prices and always fairly The crew where organised and the food tasted great they gave you plenty, but be careful it is a rich indulgence and you may pay for that. I suggest eating lots for banana's I was asked to review before the trip was done which I decided not to do as wanted to be honest and full in my review, there was nothing to worry about we where taken care of till the end The ship was so clean and just what we needed it is a little worn but nothing is to much for them so make your stay comfortable just ask and they will help I would advise if you have time and money stay longer as doing all in 4 days is exhausting but you simply can't miss anything do all the extra trips they are worth being tired for.
This tour was so much fun. We could go to a lot of places in Aswan and Luxor. And our tour guide was always care about us and tried to help my request. Thank you for everything.
100% recommended. I enjoyed the cruise from start to finish. Excellent food, excellent staff, very clean rooms, our guide Khaled El saady was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Highly recommended!
Great experience, so relaxing with beautiful views along the way to Luxor and food and the cruise staff were very nice. Food was good. My two boys enjoyed a lot. The cruise was better than I expected. Our tour guide was Talaat Abdo very knowledgeable man, very nice and funny. He made sure we all were well taken care of. He made us feel safe and very responsible. Definitely recommend Talaat and Nile cruise.
The cruise package is wholesome where they take care of everything from accommodation , local travels, tickets for attractions, planning the trip. The guide Mr Khaled El saady was earnest , and took care of all our needs as best possible. From.the time the we joined the cruise he paid explained the full tour and charges including tips etc . He was patient in explaining all the monument in great detail. Making it both a cultural and enjoyable and lovely experience In seeing this wonderful country.
Talaat was a great tour guide who was very knowledgeable about ancient Egyptian history and religion. He did a great job explaining all the different gods and goddess when we would visit the temples with him. He knows how to explain things in a fun and engaging way. We would definitely recommend going on a tour with him.
Un excelente tiempo y excelente servicio!! elth tour guido Khalid saady we have great time with lovely group on so nice boat ,thank you all
Tata was our tour guide He gave detailed and interesting explanations of various tourist attractions, and we were able to spend our first cruise in Egypt successfully. If we ever travel to Egypt again, we are willing to visit again
Tata was our tour guide on the nile cruise and I would say, he was the best tour guide we met on Egypt. The deepness of the story of temple was astonishing. Also, he is the one who can rely onto during an amazing but exotic tour in Egypt.it was wounderfull
We had a great time during our cruise on the Nile. Staff of the boat was extremely friendly and helpful. There was plenty of food, and lots of options but no water included in the meals. I had a great massage from Tony. Our guide Khaled El Saady did a great job. He tried to find the best timing for every visit and always tried to accomodate all wishes and (sometimes very demanding) preferences and wishes of the guests. At some visits the place was very crowded because of the number of boats stopping at the same time.
We decided to buy this tour because of the temples, but we discover a friend. Khaled show us the real Egipt and told us interesting stories about the history. We want to thank him and our car driver (Foxy), that made our trip very special.
Bellissimo viaggio che rimarra' impresso nella memoria, impegnativo ma sicuramente da fare. La guida King Mina molto preparato, uno studioso entusiasta del suo lavoro, organizzato e disponibile, ottimo inglese.
It was a cruise that I would really recommend to those traveling alone. Many of the other items have a single occupation, and it was possible to book without any extra cost. The schedule was well organized so that you could explore all the famous tourist attractions such as Abu Simbel, Combo, Edfu, Luxor.The rooms were clean and the buffet food was delicious. Above all, the staff was very friendly and the English-speaking guides explained well so we could enjoy the tour.Special thanks to the Carlos guide who was with us in Luxor. You explained it very carefully and was kindly cared for to the end, which is the most memorable. The other guides and knights were all friendly and comfortable while moving. I asked a lot of questions to the office staff with WatsApp before I traveled, but the answers were always quick and friendly and reassuring. If you are travelling to Egypt for the first time alone, this is a good recommendation.
Everything was perfect: good food, good cruise, friendly workers, and a nice guide
Khaled has been an extraordinary organizer and guide turning this cruise into an unforgettable moment. Thanks a lot. Nice and friendly. Carola and Gerard.
God experiences, Ahmet very nice, Attentive. Good accommodation and wonderful views, but be prepared for a trip of many places to visit
It was amazing, especially our guide Mina he was very good and knows history and helpful. The food on the cruise was very good and they vary a lot every day.
Excellent! Buffet food, varied and good. The cabins of the Commodore very comfortable. Air conditioning throughout the boat, which is not better, as we came in summer and it is very hot. Traffic is a little dangerous. Visit to the temples very well! With free time for tour and photos. We could not make the balloon ride due to the wind, it will be pending for next time. Beautiful experience, I recommend it. It would improve accessibility for people with motor difficulties.
Very nice everything, recommended, to go with family or friends, lack of accessibility for people with motor differences in general.
Yes, one of my best travel experiences! When Khaled told me that this would be my impression at the end of the stay, I oscillated between, "how many times have I heard this" and "would you be arrogant, sir"... He was right, though. What an organization! I feel like I've lived 2 weeks of discoveries in 3 days... Everything was perfect... Besides, I learned so much historical stuff that I still don't know, despite having worn my pants in college for years 😉 So don't deprive yourself of it! Go and take this cruise with Khaled el Saadi and his team! How many laughs and good times you will live 😁
Die Reise war sehr schön aber oft auch anstrengend. So mussten wir oft mit dem Kleinbuss weit fahren. Aber wir hatten einen super Guide der uns alles einfacher machte.
My first trip to Egypt. We traveled well. The food is delicious and fits well in the mouth. Egypt is amazing and recommended. Cruising is a unique experience. The weather is fine and the scenery is beautiful. The photos are beautiful. Cairo is a unique place. Recommended for travel managers.
The 3-night package has everything if you want in a few days to get a taste of the history of ancient Egypt but also a wonderful tour with very beautiful pictures in the Nile. Our guide Khaled El Saady is very good at his job and informed. He knows a lot about Egyptian history and we had a great time with him! Generally we recommend the whole experience unreservedly and will make you feel like your 2nd home!!
