I definitely recommend you to use this agency. Agency took good care of any time and the tour guides are also very knowledgeable and professional. At the beginning we booked other tour but it was cancelled by your company. But this agency we finally have is wonderful. They showed us good sites and all the time made us safe and secure. 100% will recommend it to you. We had great time

Excellent tour, well organized and punctual - it's not fast paced, with most activities during first part of the day. You can chill out on the second part of the day or do some optional activities. Boat and cabin were excellent, food was exceptionally good and crew very attentive. Out guide, Gamal, was excellent with great knowledge of Egyptian history. He is also very kind, nothing is too much trouble for him ! Book this tour, you will love it !

It was a very pleasant journey and one that I would repeat again. The rooms on board were very clean, comfortable with good food and excellent serivce on board. Beyond that the add on packages like the hot air balloon and the trip to Abu Simbel were both very well organised and have left lasting impressions. A special call-out to our guide Gamal who made the whole experience come alive for us at every place by explaining every scene and patiently answering all our questions. He also accompanied us one on one in Luxor after the trip for 2 days where we visited locations like Temple of Dendaraa

Hello everyone. We took a Nile cruise with my husband on Radamis 2 on 26.12-30.12.22. We had cabin 301. Unfortunately, when we left our packed suitcases, spray and all the shower stuff were stolen from us while we were still in the cabin. Now we're in a seaside resort and we don't even have soap.
