What an amazing experience. Bassant who made the arrangements were really helpful and kept in contact beforehand, confirming details of pickup making sure we were handed to our guide Hamdy. We can not praise our guide Hamdy enough, he really brought the history to life. His knowledge of Egyptology is second to none. The ship itself was pleasant and we loved sitting on the deck admiring the views across the Nile. Staff was friendly and always on hand when needed. Food and drinks options were good. Cocktails were on the pricey side but beers (200le) and water were reasonable. We would definitely recommend booking this trip.

This was my favorite part of our 2 week Egypt trip. The guides, drivers, staff on the river cruise boat were all amazing! The facilities on the river boat exceeded my expectations. We were on the Lady Carol and very comfortable in a triple cabin as a family of 3. Food was great, housecleaning services were exceptional, and we even got our laundry done. We had to pay for entrance tickets, drinks on the boat, and tips but all of this was perfectly communicated ahead of time. No unpleasant surprises or unexpected costs. Two suggestions that might be helpful: 1) We did the 3 night/4 day cruise which was incredible but exhausting! Be prepared for lots of very early mornings (3:30-5:30 am start) and not much sleep. If that doesn’t sound appealing, then choose the 4 night/5day cruise and 2), avoid the horse and carriage ride. We saw horses limping and with open sores pulling tourists in carts and many others clearly in distress from the crazy Luxor traffic (being honked at by huge tourist buses or nearly run over by cars, etc.) It was really sad and depressing. I don’t think anyone in our group enjoyed the horse and carriage. Perhaps if the tour companies get enough feedback from people who don’t like it, they will stop offering this service. I think it’s fine to hire horses/carriages in the country side. Just not in congested traffic where they are in distress and getting injured by vehicles.

Spectacular experience! We booked through Here Egypt Tours. All the staff on the boat were amazingly nice, attentive and made sure we always had anything we needed. Mustafa is the man. It seemed like it was his personal mission to see that our drinks were always full, smile on our faces, and we were always having a great time. Mission accomplished, well done my friend! The food was way better than expected as well. Our guide was Ahmed Abass, who couldn’t have been better. His knowledge and expertise, as well as his humor, made the entire experience that much more amazing. On top of the history lessons at all the incredible temples and sites, he took care of every detail of the trip for us, always acting in our best interest to make sure it was as flawless and perfect as possible. There are A LOT of boats and cruises to choose from, but I 1000% would recommend this cruise. Book through Here Egypt, ask for Ahmed to be your guide, and ask to be on this boat. You won’t regret it. If you have the time, do the 5 day trip. I am going to come back and do the longer one.

We booked our cruise trip through Here Egypt and we couldn’t be more pleased. The cruise experience was perfect, the staff incredibly helpful, friendly and made our journey even more special. We had the absolute pleasure of having Ahmed Abass as our guide. He shared amazing stories and rich insights about the ancient sites, bringing history to life and also making us laugh with his wonderful sense of humor Thank you, Ahmed and Here Egypt for an incredible adventure! We couldn’t have imagined a better experience!

My family had 4 days Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. It’s a wonderful trip. We were so happy with all staffs on Marquise ship. They were amazing, especially people worked at dining room. We want to thank Mona who was patient to answer all my questions and Mohammed, our tour guide who was really nice and professional.
