Everything was great! The thing I liked the most besides the cruise was the hot Air balloon. The tours were good and the tour operator was always following up with us for any need. 100% recommended!

Luxor was amazing. The food was great and the room was much better than expected. But the best part was the friendly and attentive service.

We had an amazing 5 days cruise from Luxor to Aswan by Nice Tours!! Everything was very well organized and we had an amazing time!! Our guide Heba in Aswan made our trip even better!!! She was our guide to the High Dam, Philae Temple and Unfinished Obelisk. She explained everything with every little detail, she made us feel very comfortable and took great care of us. Thanks for the magical cruise!!

The best part of our trip was having a private tour guide and transportation in majority of sites. Most importantly, Mohra was very dedicated and responsive all the time. She was always there to help us. Furthermore, Mina and Khalid were two best tour guides. They both were knowledgeable and patient. Overall we had a great time.

Overall: Great experience. Itinerary is well balanced with something to do each day and also rest time. Mohra was our contact from Nice tours who was available on WhatsApp for anything, and was accommodative to requests like a change in pickup time at short notice. A lot of time is spent on the cruise itself, so we were glad that our (deluxe) boat booking was very comfortable and conducive for relaxing. Note that the guides (and groups) at each site are different, so there is some variance in the depth and clarity of explanations between days. Special shoutout to our guide for Day 4, Himmat, who had great explanations weaving in both ancient and modern history.
