This was an amazing experience of our lives on the river Nile in the beautiful city of Cairo. The cruise was excellent, the food was scrumptious, music was lively, the atmosphere was entertaining, the weather was lovely and everything was spot on. Our guide Muhammad was a charming, smart guy who spoke English fluently. He was the only person in Egypt who could speak and converse properly as the native people had poor communication skill, especially in English. He was very helpful, picked us from our hotel on time and also dropped us off. He was very polite and well mannered with a nice sense o

We booked this experience because it was advertised as a 2-hour Nile dinner cruise starting at 6:30 pm, which would have worked perfectly with our travel plans. After booking, the operator later informed us that the cruise would actually finish at 10:00 pm. This would have caused us to miss our flight, making the booking completely unusable for us. We were effectively forced to cancel (thankfully with a refund), but if we had not double-checked quickly, we would have lost the entire Nile cruise experience that evening. What was more disappointing is that the same operator then rebooked us onto

The cruise was absolutely the best.there was a buffet with a lot of food which was ok,nothing too extraordinary but ok for the price and a dance show , which was a lot of fun.But the best thing about the cruise was our tour guide Musa who was a lot of fun and made sure we had the best time.i highly recommend it.

The tour agency was unprofessional and did not provide timely information regarding pickup details. As a result, I missed the light show because the scheduled pickup was at 6:30 pm, but the agency arrived at 7:15 pm. The cruise, food, and show were satisfactory.

Our tour guide never picked us up from Berlin hotel and we waited outside for 30 minutes before reaching out to the tour guide. After we reached out with our booking information the tour guide stopped responding on WhatsApp so we never made it to the cruise. We tried to be proactive after they didn’t show up and uber to the bridge that the cruise was leaving from but we still weren’t able to find the tour guide. This was a horrible experience!
