Unforgettable Nile Journey: 5-Day Luxury Cruise Luxor-Aswan

The tour consisted of various elements and was very well organised. Our tour guides and drivers were all very good, but our tour guide for the Nile Cruise element Abdo (5 stars), was excellent. Abdo's knowledge of ancient Egypt was impressive, and he brought it to life for us with his stories and explanations. He cared for our comfort, providing umbrellas' when the heat became too much. His modern day knowledge of Egypt was also great. Abdo met us at Aswan Airport and stayed with us throughout the 4 day Nile cruise until dropping us at Luxor Airport. The hotels and Nile boat were different ones to what we expected from the Reflections website so we were never sure where we were going but the service and friendliness of all the staff were good. The only issue I have is the lack of communication from Reflections Travel. We had to chase for all information - which airline? what flight time? booking reference? for the internal flights, what time were we being picked up? were not provided as a matter of course. Even on the last day we chased for our final transfer to the airport, eventually they text to say the hotel provided a shuttle - it's not hard to provide information, but painful to get it. This would have received 5 stars bar the poor communication and information on the tour logistics.

Awesome tour of Luxor and Aswan! Egypt Tours Portal did a great job organizing everything and Mahmoud Nour was an excellent guide. It was so nice to have all details taken care of with transportation, tickets, food, and activities and Mahmoud handled it all seamlessly. We and our children loved visiting the incredible Valley of the Kings, Luxor and Karnak temples, Abu Simbel, and so much more. The additional excursions to the Nubian village and hot air balloon ride were memorable and very worth it. Overall, we couldn't be more pleased with Mahmoud and our whole cruise experience. Thank you ETP!

We booked our tour through Viator with tour operator reflections travels. Before our tour I contacted them to do little more customized and they were very accomodative. All their tour guides very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this Egypt tour.

Reflection travels arranged the 5 days 4 nights Luxor to Aswan Nile Cruise for our family. We had last minute issues with train tickets to Luxor and reflection was very helpful in being accommodative with schedule. Our personal guide Abdo was very knowledgeable and kind. He made sure all the logistics were taken care of and properly communicated to us. After a trip plagued with travel hurdles in Egypt, it was a sigh of relief having Abdo take care of all the tickets and tours. He was very flexible with trying to work around what we wanted to see in the valley of the kings. In addition. He’s also a wealth of knowledge. Without him, things would be more chaotic. The cruise itself was comfortable and relaxing. By no means should you expect western standard cruise but it is good by Egyptian standards.

Excellent service on board on MS Royal Viking. Food tends to be international but does have some delicious Egyptian food which I would have liked more of. Very clean, quiet cabin. Tips for crew, which are customary, to share - put in envelope and give to reception desk. The itinerary on the first day was adjusted to fit with our starting hotel location, so top marks for that to our very well informed guide, Hany. He looked after us well, giving us guidance on how to avoid being taken in by the merchants in the shops that you have to walk through at many of the sites (tombs & temples). And advising on prices. He took us to the best tombs in the valley of kings, gave us the salient facts and stories for the sites, and gave us free time for us to wander at our own pace. He was an excellent guide and time keeper.

Our cruise was such a great experience! The Temples and tombs are fascinating, we had a great guide Hany, who quickly and accurately gauged our level of interest. He was great fun, but the main thing was his knowledge and love of Egyptology, which he shared in a way that kept engaged on each and every visit. He looked after us very well and helped us navigate buying the very few things that we really wanted. Hany was great! Boat staff were so nice and friendly.. Colette. UK.

Enjoyed celebrating my bday on this trip to Egypt. The itinerary, our guide, and our drivers were all amazing that Reflections Travel provided. Abdo our guide during the bulk of our travel was super nice, easy going, flexible, and made changes to maximize our day and ensure that we saw, learned, enjoyed our trip. Felt totally safe and comfortable.

First time to Egypt and we had a wonderful trip up the Nile River and seeing all of the amazing Egyptian Historical sites. Our personal guide from Refection Travel - Mr. Sayed Gamal was an outstanding guide making sure all of our needs were met during the cruise, providing attraction tickets, and arranging all transportation during our trip. He was very knowledgeable of each Egyptian site we visited and took time explaining in great detail their historical significance. The cruise was amazing, great food (best on the Nile River) quality well trained staff that go above and beyond to show great service.

Our tour guide Sayed Gamal was amazing. He helped us, was informative and made our trip to Egypt memorable. Beautiful place especially the Nile cruise. Highly recommend it.

Hany was a fantastic guide. Learned a lot about Egypt and its history. He also helped us with additional tours and planning the forward journey. Visiting the sites via cruise is highly recommended.
