I recently had an exceptional experience on a 6-day Nile River cruise. The support I received before, during, and after the trip was outstanding. All the people involved in the tour, including the driver, tour guides, and travel coordinator, were faultless. Bassant, the travel coordinator, was particularly attentive and ensured that everything went smoothly. She provided timely support and kept me informed throughout the journey. I highly recommend this trip and you will not regret.

Good tour! Our guide was good and knowledgable and this was a nice way to see Luxor and Aswan. Mona from Viator was very attentive and helpful throughout the trip and was in very regular contact.
Some of the logistical planning could have been better--seemingly unnecessary early mornings left us very tired, and if you don't purchase all the additional experiences there's a good amount of waiting time.

Where to start…
Coordinator Miss Bassant handled everything start to finish. I was worried but she handled all logistics .
Tour guide Rocky was excellent . 15 year’s experience.
Ship “ Magic lady Carol “ was by far the nicest one I saw . Had all amenities. Small cruise ship.
Highly suggest an extra 1-2 days in Luxor after cruise and book Rocky for day trips to Valley of the queens, Alexandria, and others he recommends .
Tip tip tip. It’s expected and appreciated. 50 E-pounds goes a long way to smooth service everywhere .
Highly recommended this tour/ cruise .
One caution - 6 days is a red herring.
Day 1 and 6 are arrive/ depart .
Night 1 and 5 are sleeper trains.
You get 4 proper tour days and 3 nights on the boat.
Recommend flying Cairo Aswan to start your tour and skip the first sleeper train. Bassant will coordinate .

We were very well taken care of since the moment we were picked up from our hotel to the train station till the last day when the driver brought us back. Felt very safe. The guide Mohamed Shakour was amazing, with the great knowledge of Egyptian history and very kind personal approach to the needs of every member of our small group. I forgot my hat on the train and he made sure it was found and returned to me. Lots of thanks! The whole trip was organized very well, very thoughtful program; good food at the restaurant and very friendly attentive staff. It is definitely a must to do while in Egypt!

We had a fabulous time. Bassant contacted us in the US and kept in constant communication during our whole trip and helped with all of our needs.

The ship was wonderful...I had an upper room with a 7 meter view. Food was really good and salads fabulous. Our guide Mohammad was kind, & very informative. The company took excellent care of me making sure I was picked up from my lodging and personally placed me on the train with assistance of a police officer...I felt very safe traveling as a solo older woman.
Heart felt Thanks 🙏🙏🙏 to the whole crew. Saw everything.

The places we visited on the Nile Tour made this a 5-Star adventure, as well as the helpful assistance given to us by Mona at Viator to make our trip unforgettable. Highlights included:
- The incredible dawn balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings
- The awesome size and majesty of the Temples of Luxor and Karnak
- Venturing into the burial caves of Pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings
- The wild and crazy early morn carriage ride to and from Edfu.
- Exploring the Temple of Hatsheput.
- The exciting tales of important Egyptian Kings and Queens of the past told by out tour guides, in particular “Rocky”, which made the places we visited come alive.
- Meals on the riverboat and the courtesy shown by all the boat staff.
TOUR TIPS – The items below are important to know. None of what I mention here would prevent me from recommending visiting these ancient sites, but having this information ahead of time might make your trip less stressful and a little more enjoyable
- Have Egyptian Cash on You - Unlike all other Viator tours I have been on, there are many events/locations where YOU have to buy your admission ticket at the site/location. There are NOT included in the tour price. Egyptians prefer payment in CASH, and not all of the sites accept credit cards, so it is best to have Egyptian pounds on you.
- Be Prepared to TIP Everyone – We learned Egypt is the land of the underground economy (they have no income tax). The Egyptians are very courteous; however, they have a tradition that EVERY courtesy should be responded to with a tip of some amount (and I mean every courtesy). If you do no give one, they will ask (and in some cases demand) it of you. So, have lots of Egyptian pounds on you ranging from 30 to 150 pounds ($1 - $5). If you do not want to tip, do not take anything from anyone and do not let anyone do for you what you can do for yourself (carrying or lifting a bag, opening a door, etc.)
- Train or Plane? – If you enjoy basic rustic early 19th century living, the train is for you. There is no such thing a First Class on the train – only one class., and I really don’t have a number for it. Let’s just call the accommodations extremely basic. Bring along your Boy and Girl Scout training guide, or better yet, save two night of rumble and tumble and take a one-hour plane ride.
- Not a Princess Cruise – The boat ride is great fun, but not luxurious by any means. Expect small rooms, non-working refrigerators, little to no Wi-Fi (even the best offered works only occasionally and even then cuts on and off.) If you want WiFi, bring your own personal hotspot. The food is very good and the staff is magnificent – AND there is no tipping on board (WooHoo!!).
- Wake up Call! – Most of these tours start EARLY so be prepared to be ready to go at 5am each morning. Up and Adam, mate!!
- Beware the Sellers – As you walk on your tours you will be constantly harangued by people trying to get you to buy something. They are very, very, very persistent. The best thing to do is a say nothing, make no eye contact, and keep walking. Even saying “No Thank you” engages the Seller and leads to continued “engagement”
- BIG PICTURE – You are in Egypt – go with the flow, enjoy the experience, and remember how lucky you are to be there!!

My husband and I totally loved everything about this experience. Our tour guide Ahmed was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor teaching us the history and importance of the temples. Ahmed was diligent with communicating our itinerary daily and allowed us time to explore the sites after he educated us of the significance of its history.The cruise ship staff was very helpful and the food was also very delightful. If you have been debating on taking a trip to Egypt I highly recommend this tour, but would advise to take the plane between locations and not the train to save time. I love that our tour group was small and we all got along very well, a memory that will last a lifetime!
