Ambiance of the trip was beautiful. The food was 10/10, I highly recommend the trip. The Restaurant gets busy but maybe it is because we booked on a Friday evening. The trip includes a guide that is with you from the pick up at the hotel, and throughout the evening. This helps with language barrier. The entertainment was amazing. Would definitely recommend.

The music was too loud...

Roberta_P, May 2024

The music was too loud and the buffet was really poor in choices. Nice the belly danse but nothing special.

Amazing!!

Augustine_A, May 2024

Staff were amazing and helpful. I really enjoyed every moment on the cruise . Food was great and the performers made my trip in Egypt remarkable

Quite good

Krystyna_B, Apr 2024

Our guide was very nice and friendly . I liked entertainment as well, food was pretty basic but we enjoyed our evening !

Great night out

Peter_P, Apr 2024

The venue is very classy. Very nice ambiance. The food was terrific. The entertainment was absolutely great. It was nice to see Cairo from the water at night. Many clubs are lit up like a carnival so it really is fun to cruise by that and the other boat cruises as well

Great experience

Paul_P, Apr 2024

High level service and entertainment. Nice photos, exotic program, selected delicious food. Recommended to attend once in Cairo.

Exceptional talents but not good Tour company

allan_a, Apr 2024

The talents of the performers in the ship were incredible. The food was ok. However, the tour company who was assigned to us Emo Tours failed to arrange good seats to us. We understood that the ship was full but we felt so bad that they placed us in a very small table. And because of that the price for the experience was not worth it.

Overall fun but it did feel like I experienced the Nile. Did not get to see the Cairo skylines

Ilham_Y, Apr 2024

Overall a positive experience but the main highlight for me was the entertainment. Amazing band, belly dancer, performer and singer. The food was a huge disappointment extremely tasteless and too salty. The company using an agent to pick you up a hour early with a private driver then customers feeling pressured to tip at the end was quite annoying. Next time I would buy my ticket directly from the cruise not through 3rd party.

A good fun night

David_B, Apr 2024

Good old fashioned fun, food is good and service attentive. Singer and band going through the classics, a belly dancer and more. You could do this one without a guide but would recommend if you are in any way unsure of getting where you need to be at the right time.

Mesmerising

Sanjeev_V, Apr 2024

Whole trip was fantastic. Ur support staff was very humble and cordial. Cruise trip was mind blowing

It was ok

ABRAHAM_V, Apr 2024

The tour GUIDE was amazing! The boat could be updated. As we were getting to our boat, we noticed there were very nice nile cruises on the same dock..our boat was in dead last in that category. The food could have been a bit better. And this one guy keeps going around almost forcing people to leave a review on Google. I refused to be bullied into writing a review on the spot or lying on a review.. but i will say that the service was pretty good..

Enjoyable evening

Shauna_W, Apr 2024

Lovely views of the skyline from the boat. Very helpful staff. Food was good too. Really enjoyed the evening.

Shibila_R, Apr 2024

I would recommend Nile cruise with buffet and belly dance while visiting Cairo. It was good experience in the Nile river.

Great experience on the Nile River

Walter_T, Apr 2024

The food was good, the dancing and singing definitely entertained me. Abdu was an excellent host. He was super friendly and we had a great chat. The driver was also timely!

Kp Egypt

parakeith, Apr 2024

Knowledgeable diver. Waited patiently on us. Drove safely. Restaurant was the best . Great service from your company!

Not worth. Overrated price.

Calvin_D, Mar 2024

Very disappointed..you quoted Maxim cruise is Luxury cruise, really? Salad as appetizers and one set meal for the cost of $233 for 2 adults and 2 kids? Sadly Later i found out many better Nile cruises with buffet option.. Waste of many.. it doesn't worth a penny.. Hopeless staff.

Great entertainment & good service

Deepak_T, Mar 2024

Booking process seamless. Pick up was right on time. Tour guide courteous. The cruise lived up to its expectations in terms of entertainment. Both, the belly dancer & Tanura performers were excellent and engaged the crowds well. Food could have been better especially desserts which were a bit dry but that would not put me off going again.

Overall a great night in...

Linda_C, Feb 2024

Overall a great night in a lovely venue. Plenty good food and friendly waiters. The Music was great and the belly dancer going round everyone was the icing on the cake (ie made the night).

Total tourist trap

Thomas_B, Feb 2024

Total tourist trap. The boat hardly goes anywhere. You might as well just sit in a room with really loud music and cheap entertainment. Buffet is shocking and whipped away before the before even leaves
