The whole cruise was a once in a lifetime experience, beautiful sights, very nice ship, and super kind people, I’d like to highlight all of the tour guides, but especially Mina in Luxor, and tour guide Wahled and Hedra in Abu Simbel, who made the experience even more exciting. Perfect tour!

Great experience and excellent guide Ahmed Achrafa, very passionate. Precise pickup at the hotel in the morning, thank you Malak and all the organisation!
A must see temple. Loved it. Thanks also to our guide. The great story teller a.k.a. Achmed achraf!! Quite a long ride but, worth it for sure.

Ahmed achraf was the tour guide for the abu simbel temple and he was adequate. He told us a lot about the history of the temple and how it was moved.
Thank you Ahmed Achraf and Malak for the tour of Abu Simbel. It was very informative and interesting. The temple is very beautiful and a great sight.
I visited the Temple of Abu Simbel with tour guide "Hani Maher", who shared valuable insights. We marveled at the colossal statues of Ramses II and learned about the Battle of Kadesh and the temple's significance. Inside, we admired the intricate carvings depicting the history of the gods and the king. Hani also explained the temple's relocation during the Aswan High Dam project, highlighting efforts to preserve Egyptian heritage. Overall, it was an unforgettable visit that deepened my appreciation for ancient Egyptian civilization.
Ahmed achraf and hazem were amazing for our tour today! Ahmed really took the time to explain the temples to us in detail, about the temple relocations and everything. Highly recommend!
We have just visited Abu Simbel Temple and our guide was Hahmed Achraf, he was a fantastic , he was so informative about the temples , he knew all the history he answered all our questions and was very engaging . I would highly recommend this tour
Ahmed Sony and Nancy The tour to Abu Simbel was very interesting and my family enjoyed the tour day very goood trip see you
This is one of the most amazing temples I’ve ever seen. A must if you are in Egypt Our guide Medo was very knowledgeable and explained everything that we would see inside the temple. Despite de long drive, the driving was very smooth and the temperature inside the van was great, so we managed to sleep
MeDo is my guide, who’s very professional, and I enjoyed the explanation during the trip. The agenda is very packed and good for people who want to travel from luxor to aswan. You can go to other places with a nice ac car and enjoy the spots along the road to aswan.
We went to Abu Simbel Temples Tour and the tour guy name Ahmed achraf was such a great tourist. His English was very easy to catch up!
Ahmed Sony and nancy is nice and funny and speaks English very well. He explained everything about the temple Abu Simbel very well to us
Great experience all round. I had a trip to Abu Simbel as a part of a cruise through the same company. The pick up, the tour and the drop off were all carried out to a high standard in a friendly and insightful manner. Mustafa, the driver, was very pleasant and personable company and provided bursts of information relating to points of interest we passed as we made the long trip to the site. He was on time for both collection and drop off. Abu Simbel is an outstanding sight to see and a deeply impressive site in its construction and history, all of which was illuminated with great enthusiasm and knowledge by the tour guide Ahmed Achraf. It was evident Ahmed had genuine passion for the place and took great pride in sharing his built up knowledge with us, which definitely deepened the impact the already stunning site made. All aspects of the tour were found to be totally satisfying and I would highly recommend.
Ahmed achraf has been a good guide explaining everything in detail clearly! The kids learn a lot and We had a great time thanks to him.
Ahmed achraf and Mina gabra guide was wonderful, they have explained some keys pictures of the temple. Also, the history of the temples had been well explained and detailed with pictures.
Ahmetooooashraffo is the best guide for Abu Simbel temples. But arrangement of nice tours is not so good. We lost some time by waiting other tourist.
Ahmed Sony and Nancy - He's so friendly and kind. He knows much about Abu Simbel so explain easily about it to me. His English is clear and easy to understand. I love this tour.
Mido was an excellent guide with a very and slow English language, so we understood everything he said about abu simbel temple. Fantastic visit!

Ahmed achraf and malak are the guide and the operator of the tour. they arranged it in the early of the morning so we can avoid the crowd and took really good picture. and the tour is very informative too.
We would highly recommend Mina & Ahmed . They were very professional . He used good visuals to explain the temple fully. They helped us avoid the crowds by going earlier. The journey was very pleasant with good food , comfort.They drove safely ,with 2 drivers alternating( Michael & Remon) .Thanks for an exceptional experience to the temple of Abu Simbel. It was incredible!
I went to Abu Simbel with MEDO. Abu Simbel is amazing and the guide was quite informative and friendly. I would recommend the tours with Nice Tours in Egypt.
Firstly the Egyptian staff were all wonderful. Cheerful and very helpful. But….we were shocked that this is rated as a five star when it is clearly not 5 star from an Australian perspective. The shower was tiny and the grouting was dirty and mouldy (see images attached). The carpets in the corridors were torn and frayed. The food was definitely not five star. Everything you drink is extra, even water at your table. If you like nice wines - take them with you because their selection is very limited and three bottles we had were oxidised and undrinkable - and had to be thrown out. The wifi is very slow and keeps dropping out. I took some nice dresses to wear to dinner, but found that it was so casual and informal (like a canteen), no dressing up was required. The dining room was very bright and noisy, not a place to linger over a nice meal and a glass of wine. It was just somewhere to eat and get out of. But, the dining staff were lovely and very helpful. So….my message is to check the boat you are doing on - I am sure that some are nice, clean and modern - but this one definitely was not one of those.
Heba Sayyed is a wonderful guide, she knows a lot of knowledge and knows how to explain the little details and main points of the mythology. She was also really nice and took great pictures of us!
I booked 8 days Nile cruise Nice tour on line for couple - Cairo to Luxor and Aswan Since arrived Egypt, our person of contact was Zeinab. Zeinab, the tour Coordinator is a fantastic organiser, knowledgeable, approachable, informative, prompt and extremely helpful who is going out of her way, if I have any request. I’m very happy. I’m grateful for her help and kindness. Thank you for making our holiday very relax and comfortable. Mina
The experience was very nice! I totally recommend it, it is a summarized and complete tour of everything there is to know by cruise on the Nile, from Luxor to Aswan, our Nice Tours travel guide was Arwa, attentive to every moment no matter the time and communicating with us to guide us, she made the experience much more personalized, and our transportation and guides in each place were very responsible and punctual. We couldn't do the balloon because of the wind, it wasn't the tour's fault. I recommend to Take 2 days in Aswan when tour finish, is a beautiful City.
In the middle of the night before a 4 day cruise depart they simple canceled. We had been talking about details (whatsapp) and everything was confirmed just the day before. They canceled and blocked my number. It is a four days activity nothing you can replace last minute so we ended up not taking any cruise.
It was an excellent Nile Cruise and we visited all the attraction that we were interested in visit, the tour program was very nice. The Nile Cruise ship was great we had a nice room on the top of the cruise with a beautiful Nile view. We had a beautiful memory, Many thanks!!!
We had incredible time on the cruise which was M/S Emilio they had a nice staff and always willing to make us happy all time & do our requests smoothly, we requested special meals and staff did as we request exactly! For the drivers they were nice gentlemen and punctual on pick up time and they even were arriving before the requested time and waited for us at the ship reception! For the tour guides, they ALL were AMAZING and have a GREAT knowledge, it was really appreciated because we are from the history lovers so having a knowledge guides was such a perfect part for us ! Finally, our favorite part in the whole cruise is the Sunrise Hot Air Balloon and Karnak temple complex! Impressive service & Would recommend. Thanks and keep the great work going. We really enjoyed our time and loved every minute! Many thanks again for the wonderful organize of the cruise!
I received an email 9 minutes before my pick up time, the day of the cruise, to cancel. I was all packed and ready to go!! There was no real explanation. I was just notified that I would receive a full refund, which I did not.!! This was a huge inconvenience & very unprofessional in my opinion. I will never book another activity through this company. Shame on them…
Everything was amazing just like a living a real story .Something that you live once in a life .Thanks for this awesome experience
