I wasn't sure what to expect for the tour (I chose it because it was discounted on noor egypt tour) but it ended up being a great as-advertised experience. Although be aware that they do expect tips up front at the start of the cruise ($5 per day of the tour, so $15 total) and drinks and tourist site admission fees are not included in the cost. But it was a quality, professional, and well-paced cruise and tour, especially since we were in a small group of 8 people while visiting the tourist sites, which made it more personal. I highly recommend Noor tour and our knowledgeable and personable guide Mohamed, you'll have a great time!

Rides, ruins, and history! This tour's cruise boat was complete with a pool, buffet-style meals and drinks, but the side tours, such as the Temple Philae, are what's most impressive about this 4 days / 3 nights tour. In Aswan, we went to relaxing botanical gardens and swam in the Nile. Then we traveled by boat to a fairy tale colored Nubian village where we held baby crocodiles. Then we skipped Edfu and exchanged it to see the tomb of Ramses V and VI in Luxor, and we are glad we did because it was a must-see. Beautiful sights along the Nile all the way up to Luxor, which is even more gorgeous from the sky in an air balloon (very much worth the additional fee to do). The tour keeps getting stronger and stronger with the Luxor Temple, The Valley of the Kings, Karnak and more. I will say the best advice I can give is listening to the honesty and unbiased advice from our tour guide Mohamed. He will tell you the best things to do for the day and the days to come. Mohamed has a knowledge of the country and will tell you the truth about the people and places (for example, not to get sucked into pictures in the tombs and don't make eye contact with the hustlers). He also went above and beyond by bringing me into the city to get a SIM card. We couldn't ask for a better tour guide than mohamed! This is the tour for everyone so sit back and enjoy Egypt.

Highly recommended! The entire 4 days were filled with fun and adventure. Mohammed made our trip and each excursion magnificent. He was very knowledgeable about all of the sites, people, and culture, and provided us with all the important facts allowing us to really appreciate all of the locations we visited. His passion as an Egyptologist left us leaving each excursion inspired and looking forward to the next one.

This cruise was excellent. The ship was very nice, food was good but the highlight is the destinations. Getting to see all the history and being lead by our Egyptologist Ahmed was a real treat. The tours are a good mix of fun facts, Egyptian history, secular history and contextualized through the lens of the pantheon of Egyptian gods.

Wonderful thankyou. The boat, Blue Shadow was beautiful. The food excellent. The organization was fantastic. Everything was considered and planned for. Our Guide hani was tremendous. He seemed sun resistant as opposed to yours truly. It was very, very hot in late August/early September in Egypt. I am 65 now but consider myself reasonably fit. I think I left my Egypt trip forty years too late though. I did seriously wonder about my physical ability to survive some of the temple visits. I could have stayed on the boat but didn't want to miss anything. We had have more than one very early start (3.00 - 4.00 am on most days) so sleep was minimal. Again I could have missed trips but chose not to. We did have one afternoon to relax on the boat and enjoy watching the Nile go by. So my advice is go to Egypt in their winter

Had a great cruise tour from aswan to luxor. many thanks to our guides Mahmoud and Gobran, told much about the story behind historical monuments. Have remembered many gods, kings anx queens’ names, Also very helpful during the travelling and even after. As we want to spend one more day in Luxor after the tour, the resourceful Alaa helped arranged the car and guide the day after. It’s also great to meet people from all over the world as a group. About the cruise itself, the decorations are classique and I like especially the food. Every day we have different local foods. Recommend you to take time on the upper deck to enjoy the amazing nile views, at sunset particularly. Great experience!
