This trip was FANTASTIC! Worth every single penny! Cruising the Nile is a very unique and beautiful experience. The ship was beautifully decorated, and the cabins are large, clean and equivalent to fancy hotel rooms. The food on board was absolutely delicious! The best food I've tasted in all of Egypt!
The guided tours were nice as was spending time on the cruise ship itself. There is a pool and plenty of lounge areas to relax from the Upper Egypt Heat.
Overall, the cruise is a very well organized experience. Would definitely recommend to others!

Doing what: Private Tour: Abu Simbel Flight and Tour from Aswan
My only critic: Once the flight is e-booked and confirmation received, no information is given re exact flight times and e-communication with Viator is slow. Otherwise, no-nonsense, helpful and attentive local staff in Aswan and Abu Simbel, good logistics and timing.

Overall this was a very good package. The boat was clean and our room was quite spacious. The food was also very good, though the staff in the dining room often seemed eager to clear our plates and move us along. They did not always create a relaxing environment.
By far the best part of the package was our private guide, Sayeed. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable of the temples and tombs we visited, he was just a great person, full of interesting conversation. He took us for an informal and unscheduled tour of Aswan (his hometown) and told us all about the lives of people in southern Egypt.
When our cruise ended we had a whole day in Luxor before flying out that night. The boat let us use the the roof deck during the day and then provided us with transport to the airport which was a welcome surprise.
The entertainment at night was cheesy and not worth attending. The staff at the front desk was not always very helpful, either. Still, this was a very enjoyable cruise and we would recommend it.

I thought this cruise was pretty well valued and note that some other tour companies were charging more for the same cruise. We travelled during the Xmas period, and were pleasantly surprised when we checked into our room. Clean, spacious, and pretty comfortable, with room serviced daily.
All meals provided were buffet style, and plentiful. Drinks are not included and purchased separately. Sometimes entertainment is provided in the evening (Xmas party, belly dancing), but it wasn't the most exciting so to speak.
I didn't realize until we boarded that you get your own private tour guide (for each separate booking), which is nice, because that gives you some flexibility with some toured sites/times. We were assigned a lovely and knowledgable guide, whom we engaged for an extra day our after disembarkation. The 4 day cruise covers most of the sites between aswan and luxor, though you disembark first thing on the morning on day 4, so technically it 's more a 3 day, 3 night tour.
All in all, good package, well priced. We were pretty happy with the booking. Recommended.

A thoroughly enjoyable, well organised trip. Our personal guide 'Mohomed' was wonderful. He was extremely knowledgeable and very good company. The cruise was very relaxing and cruise staff extremely helpful. Value for money..

I was very pleased with the service. It surpassed my expectations. The staff met us at the train station and was friendly and knowledgeable. The ship was spotless and food was delicious. Our personal guide became a good friend. Overall I would highly recommend this tour to any of my close family or friends.

Stunning, our guide Dina was wonderful. she knew what she was talking about and explained it in a way that we understood. Dina was brilliant by far the best guide we had (that is saying something as Nana in Cairo was pretty good too).

The 4 day Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor is a great way to see the Nile and the temples, sites, and cities. It's a great value for the money and I would recommend it to anyone.

Doing what: Private Tour: Abu Simbel Flight and Tour from Aswan
Viator was fabulous! Very professional. Picked us up at airport, dressed in suits with ties, transported in very nice, clean car to Abu Simbel. After our tour with local guide, our Viator guide was there waiting for us to take us back to the airport. Helped check us in at airport. He spoke excellent English and was genuinely concerned about our happiness. Highly recommend Viator.

Doing what: Private Tour: Abu Simbel Flight and Tour from Aswan
The site is so awesome and spectacular that any rating is colored positively. Unfortunately our two and one quarter hours were cut to one and half hours at the site. This was because the flight information Viator sent us was totally wrong. We left almost two hours earlier than what we booked on a regularly scheduled Egypt Air flight. It was a little late,, but the real cause of the delay was unforeseen military exercises at the Aswan airport which delayed us a further 45 minutes (beyond anyone's control). The guide was not great, but not bad either--he bravely tried to compress everything he had to say into a shorter time. We were fortunately I think that other than our group there were no other people there. That allowed us some elbow room. Still Abu Simbel was the highlight of our trip to Egypt.

This was one of the best experiences of my life. The rooms on the ship are clean and beautiful. The staff are accommodating, friendly and extremely helpful. The best part is that you get your own private guide. I believe I had the best guide in all of Egypt. He was highly qualified, extremely knowledgeable, and super fun to be around!

Doing what: Private Tour: Abu Simbel Flight and Tour from Aswan
The whole tour worked liked clockwork! We were picked up from the hotel, checked in at the airport, met the other end, had a good guide and almost enough time (another half hour would have been better, but the time was determined by Egypt Air timetable). You need to be aware that Viator may not be able to confirm your booking until a few weeks before the flight. Viator handled this delay as best as they could. I think that is because Egyptair only schedule the flights when they know the demand. There are cheaper ways of visiting Abu Simbel but these involve 6 hour coach trips in convoys and you then go round the temples with thousands of others. We just had one plane load.
