We booked a last minute tour with Rocky Family directly with Rocky, and I can honestly say the whole experience was phenomenal from start to finish! He kept in consistent contact with us the whole time to ensure everything went according to plan, he was also very flexible when we requested any last minute additions to our trips, and was extremely kind and professional the whole time. He organised for us to have tours with multiple colleagues of his and with him directly while on the Nile Cruise - our guides were Salma, Mariam, Omar, and Rocky. I can honestly say every single guide was so friendly, helpful, ever so patient and very knowledgable! A perfect experience from start to finish. Thank you so much Rocky Family ☺️

We had an absolutely wonderful time on the Aswan to Luxor cruise with Rocky Family Tours! The entire experience was great. The guides were excellent. Rocky was our guide on the first day and he was fantastic. Hakim took over for days 2 through 4, and he was equally amazing. Both of them were very knowledgeable, kind, and took great care of us. The cruise ship itself was lovely and having a swimming pool was a huge plus. Our kids had so much fun playing in the pool after exploring the temples. We highly recommend Rocky Family Tours to anyone visiting Egypt, especially families!
Rocky was amazing! He was not only our guide during the cruise, but he also coordinated our entire trip in Egypt. He did an incredible job! The organization was perfect. It felt like having a friend and family in a country I had never visited before. Everything was exactly as we discussed on the phone, and he was even flexible with last-minute changes due to our delayed flight. A truly trustworthy man who genuinely cares about creating happy moments. He is fun, knowledgeable, and a true professional who knows his job very well. Thank you Rocky! See you soon for sure. 🤝
One word: WOOOOW We did with my friend our first trip to Egypt. Rocky pick us up from the airport, and the adventure began. We have so much fun, we learn a lot, and most important of all: we were with somebody in which you can trust. We did the Nile cruise and also El Cairo The company's name is "Rocky Family" and we 100% can say that we were a family. In El Cairo our guide was Sahar, a magnificent guide, with a love of passion for her job and a really lovely person. Rocky, Sahar, thank you so so much for these days. We will never forget you, and be sure that we will recommend you.
My husband and I looked through several different guides and experiences for what we wanted with going on the Nile cruise. We came across Rocky’s and it just seemed to make sense, so we hoped for the best. Not even an hour later, Rocky messaged us to begin communication. What to expect, the schedule, etc. Almost everything he said, we did. The only bummer … it was too hot and unsafe conditions to do a hot air balloon ride. That was disappointing, but that was not within his control. So - safety is priority. Both guides ensured that we were always accounted for. They watched out for us. They weren’t just tour guides. They automatically seemed like they were taking care of their own family, which is such a great feeling. We seen everything we wanted. Unfortunately Rocky had to leave a day early, but this was not without an honest conversation with us, and setting us up with Amira who is equally as exceptional and knowledgeable. We were actually quite happy with both. They are humorous, intelligent, exceptional tour guides, and super friendly. If you’re looking at other places for tour guides, you will be missing out on a great experience. If you get them, you are in good hands. You will not need to do or think about anything- they do it all! It was more than anticipated, and we are very pleased.
Rucky is the best guide! Our whole group had the most memorable experience, and he truly made that possible. We learned so much, saw incredible sites, and felt taken care of every step of the way. He helped us skip the long lines, introduced us to the best food, and always made sure we had plenty of coffee along the way. 😂☕️ Thank you, Rucky, for an unforgettable trip! #RuckyFamily
Rocky is one of a kind best guide! One of the best experiences in all my travels. Learned so much amazing history and what Egypt has to offer beyond the pyramids was worth every penny!
We traveled to Egypt as a family of five with our children (ages 4, 6, and 9) and had a private cruise tour arranged from Aswan to Luxor. Rockey was very flexible in handling flight delays and changes, and the airport transfers were smooth. We were able to visit all the places we wanted to see, and the balance between guided explanations and free time was just right. It was easy and enjoyable even with young children. It felt as if a trusted friend who knows the area well had arranged everything and guided us, which gave us a great sense of comfort and security. Rockey, who speaks both English and Japanese fluently and also served as our guide, was wonderful—our kids absolutely loved him. We originally learned about this tour operator through a friend’s recommendation, and after comparing several local operators in terms of content and price, we chose this one. In the end, it turned out to be a truly satisfying trip. Highly recommended. 4,6,9歳の子どもを連れて家族5人でのエジプト旅行中、アスワンからルクソールまでのプライベートクルーズツアーをアレンジしてもらいました。 フライトの遅延や変更にも柔軟に対応してくれて、空港送迎もスムーズ。行きたかった場所もちゃんと回れて、説明と自由時間のバランスも良く、子連れにも無理なく楽しめました。 まるで現地をよく知っている信頼できる仲のいい友達がアレンジしてガイドしてくれている感じで、安心感があってとてもよかったです。英語と日本語が堪能でガイドもしてくれたRockeyに子どもたちもなついて、すっかり大好きになりました。 元々友人の紹介でこの会社を知り、現地の他の業者数社のツアーと内容・値段など比較してからこのツアーを選びましたが、結果大満足な旅行になりました。とってもおすすめです。
We had been dreaming of visiting the Abu Simbel temples and planned our trip months in advance. While looking for a reliable tour company, we discovered Rocky Family Tour, which is very popular in the Japanese community living in Egypt. We heard that many Japanese travelers had trusted them and felt completely safe with their service—and during our trip, we realized this was 100% true. We booked a Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. As soon as we shared our budget, they got back to us right away. Every question we had was answered quickly and clearly, which made us feel very comfortable. As the trip got closer, Mr. Rocky himself checked in with us several times, asking if we had any problems or worries. That level of care was really reassuring. Even when we ran into a problem with our online tickets during the trip, he handled it smoothly using his connections and expertise. Thanks to him, everything went perfectly and we were able to fully enjoy sightseeing in Egypt. The cruise itself was fantastic—comfortable rooms, friendly and helpful staff, and the food was not only delicious but also beautifully presented. We had such a wonderful time onboard. Right now, with the weak yen, it’s not easy for Japanese people to travel abroad. But honestly, Egypt feels like an oasis and is absolutely worth the trip.
English follows Japanese 安心のベテランガイド!アスワンからルクソールまでの3食インクルーシブのクルーズツアー。前日に依頼したにも関わらず、素早いレスポンスかつ、子どものお昼寝の時間を確保したいなどのリクエストに柔軟に対応してくれました。コストを抑えるために経由地のガイドをパートナーに依頼するなど、常にカスタマーの目線で計画を立案し、自分が担当でない日のツアーでは、都度困ったことはないか、楽しめているかを確認してくれました。日本語と英語が堪能。日本の文化にも理解があり、質の良い名産品を紹介してくださり、エジプト文化でもある値段交渉も一手に引き受けてくださり、明朗会計でした。またお願いする予定です! Experienced guide for over 15 years! Three meals inclusive cruise tour from Aswan to Luxor. Even though we requested the tour the day before, he responded quickly and flexibly to our requests, such as allowing time for our children's naps. He always planned from the customer's point of view, such as asking a partner to be a guide at a stopover to keep costs down, and on days when he was not in charge of the tour, he checked on us to see if there were any problems or if we were enjoying the tour. He is fluent in Japanese and English.
Rocky was amazing! He met us after we arrived on the boat and remained with us during our entire cruise. He was very informative and very patient with our group. We were a group of 5 and he made sure to meet all of our needs. He made sure we were well taken care of and even took us to a Nubian village. I would highly recommend Rocky to anyone traveling to Egypt!
I had a great time seeing all the wonders of Aswan and Luxor! There are so many to see and they are amazing. We were given Mohamed as our guide and he was knowledgeable, friendly and really helpful making the trip so much more worthwhile. There were times where I think the tour fell short and that was the quality of the cruise, 3 star instead of 5 and the constant push by the other staff of the company to tip everyone along the way (without being given a choice).
Flight got huge delay but Rocky waited for us so patiently. Turned out to have great fun thanks to his tailored arrangements. Would definitely recommend.
Amazing tour! Enjoy the tour som much! The introduction is able to help us understand the histories of each temple so much
Rocky is a great person: honest, knowledgeable, and an excellent guide. 👍📚✈️ I booked an entire trip to Egypt with him, and it was fantastic and worry-free. From the moment I arrived at the Cairo airport, he ensured that everything went smoothly. He arranged transportation, guided tours, a Nile cruise, a fluka sunset cruise, and a hot air balloon ride. You name it, and he will make it happen. Thank you, Rocky. I will see you on the next trip.
Unforgettable Experience in Egypt Thanks to Rocky! Rocky is an exceptional guide: honest, knowledgeable, and very attentive. He organized a perfect trip, including transportation, guided tours, a Nile cruise, and a balloon ride. From the Cairo airport to the Nile River cruise, everything went smoothly. It was a fantastic week. Thank you, Rocky, for your amazing service! I recommend him 100%.
My mom and I had the most incredible time while touring Egypt with Rocky. He was a phenomenal tour guide with so much energy and charisma. He brought the stories to life and was able to answer any of our questions. He really made my my mom and I feel like family. #rockyfamilyforlife.
Rocky Familyyyy Rocky went above and beyond. We had such a great experience seeing all the main sights and hearing all of the historical stories. I don’t think there was one question he couldn’t answer the whole tour! We were very comfortable throughout with a combination of humor, knowledge, and strategic guidance. We left feeling like we have another friend in Egypt. Thank you, Rocky!
Best GUIDE ROCKY 🥊 The best guide who put us at ease with a warm atmosphere, unforgettable, friendly and funny moments with lots of laughs. We make a real Family. I went there lonely, but i didn’t feel it lonely ! Many thanks to you Best Rocky Family 💙💜💛💚🧡🩷🩵
Rocky is simply my most favorite and ultimately the best tour guide ever in Egypt, and anywhere else in the world. He made me feel safe and secure throughout the entire trip, he knows his stuff and you can tell that he truly is passionate about the history of his country. He is super well organized, punctual, accommodating, strategic (I remember we ran into some traffic on our way back to the cruise boat and he went out of his way to clear the road so we can make it back in time for the boat), and most of all - fun!!! Super loved this trip/tour and everyone in this group. Rocky family! ❤️, Michelle from the Philippines May 2023
Rocky is awesome, let's get that clear :) He is well-informed, full of energy and stories, and knows how to take care of his entire group. Our particular group was entirely random, and full of unusual personalities; Rocky made sure that all of us felt comfortable, safe, and by the second day we were all having such a great time together. Rocky was able to provide us with good advice both during the official sight-seeing, and for after-hours adventures, too. He even arranged an out-of-the-way visit to Dendera, despite the diverging schedules of the group, without inconveniencing a single one of us, all the time regaling us with experiences both past and present. I'd highly recommend his services for a memorable tour of this beautiful, ancient land.
Rocky was the best tour guide our three week Egyptian adventure. He was our tour guide during our Nile River cruise. We went from Aswan to Luxor and everywhere in between. He kept us safe, was so knowledgeable with the history of all of the places we visited and was super friendly. Rocky was there when my fiancé proposed in front of Abu Simbel Temple. Look no further for a tour guide. Rocky is the best in Egypt! Rocky family 4 life‼️ 🇪🇬
Raghab rocky the grt guy I met in Egypt as guide I was solo female traveller from Pakistan was sacred how to do my tour but truly saying rocky made the trip wonderful he is so nice kind person wo is not only to guide u but to make u feel like home there highly recommend love and blessings dear brother rocky
Based on the word of mouth from Japanese people on TripAdvisor, I applied for a Rocky Tour. There are very few guides in Japanese, so it was very encouraging for us to go to Egypt for our first honeymoon. It was also good to be able to communicate via WhatsApp from the time of application to the time of departure, and to discuss in detail where to go and the meeting time. (WhatsApp was in English, but seems to work even if you type in Japanese.) I was also grateful for the flexibility to consult with us separately, such as a guide in Cairo and a boat tour to Nubia village! It is also helpful because it teaches us about tips that are not so familiar to Japanese. The colorful and camel-ridden village of Nubia is optional but must-see!! Rocky is also good at Japanese (he has a lot of vocabulary), so he tells me a lot about the transfer and history. He also says he was a photographer when he was a student, so leave the photos to us 🙆♀️ Friends. My people. There are also many people who can reserve a boat or buy tickets without standing in line 😭✨ You can't choose a cruise ship, but all of them seemed to have almost the same facilities, and I had no problem using showers. I also enjoyed towel art every day! It’s a hard tour, waking up at 4am every day, but there’s so much to gain✨ I want to know more about Egypt and its history! I'm a beginner, but I want to have fun! I want to shop well! If you are (and they also help you with discounts), then please try traveling with Rocky 🙌
The schedule is pretty hard. Morning is early anyway. However, this is not so much negative as it is to avoid crowding and go around efficiently, which makes sense to actually go there. "Many reviews also praised it for ""running efficiently"" and ""wasting no time.""" The guides are a very reliable type and overall are well-arranged and reassuring. "All the travel, sightseeing and dining was smooth and I was like, ""OK, I'll leave everything to you.""" It's also understandable that many of them are actually rated as "safe and smooth" or "well-assembled." One of the best was an optional boat tour to the village of Nubia. This was, to be honest, the highlight of the event. The two of you can hire a boat and spend some pretty romantic time on the Nile. It's a bit of an "extraordinary dating experience" rather than sightseeing, and it's quite recommended for couples. Another sobering blessing was the chip area. Egypt has quite a complicated tipping culture, but they explained it well in advance and made it clear where and how much they would pay. There was no so-called "unclear billing" and it was less stressful.
Everything about this tour was amazing. The comfortable drive and other trips by private car to Absinbel, a clean and calm cruise ship, were very comfortable. Mr Rocky and his own personal guides at each site explained the site in a very easy-to-understand way. It was a comfortable trip with no worries as I was able to get in touch quickly.
Rocky was kind and flexible. They tried to make our wishes come true as much as possible. Rocky couldn't handle some of the tour in a hurry, but even then there was a polite follow-up at Watts Up
While I was wondering where to book a cruise tour on the Nile, I heard a rumor that the Rocky Family Tour was popular with Japanese expatriates in Cairo, so I applied immediately. I was surprised by Rocky's very good Japanese. In Luxor, they explained it in Japanese, which gave me a better understanding. On the first day, we were worried about the delay of our sleeper train to our meeting place, Aswan, but we managed to keep in touch with our guide via WhatsApp and meet him smoothly. We were able to complete our sightseeing on time on a reasonable schedule and we are very grateful for the flexibility. The cruise ships are even more luxurious than you might expect! It was a very fulfilling trip to Egypt.
