Superb experience. Even if before the departure, the communication was complicated (Getyourguide acts as intermediary), Arwa contacts us every day via Whatsapp to know the feeling of the day and to give us the details for the following day. The Semiramis II is a very comfortable boat. Pleasant cabins (size, comfortable bedding, bathroom). The team on board, especially in the kitchen and in the dining room, is extremely caring and very considerate. Varied and very good quality food. Drinks on board not included at very reasonable prices. Pleasant terrace also with afternoon tea and a barbecue meal. Amazing hot air balloon experience. The various sites visited are breathtaking (Edfu in particular and Abu Simbel - a long trip, but worth the trip). One of the less efficient guides but that of Luxor of good quality and those of Edfu and Abu Simbel super professional, with perfect French and a desire to share their knowledge. In a word: awesome!

We, my daughter 19 years old and I, really enjoyed 4 nights cruise from Luxor to Assuan. Cruise boat was nice and clean, staff was nice and helpful. Food menu changed every day with plenty of choices. Our guide Ahmed was incredible: perfect English, very knowledgeable about Egyptian histories, funny and professional at the same time. All the tours were wonderful, anyone different, you never get bored. The last day, Ahmed proposed us a Nubian tour including swimming in the Nile, the cherry on the cake!!!

Excellent cruise, very complete, very good service, very good food, very good rooms, the staff is very attentive, the captain stands out, as well as the guides who took us to the archaeological zones, highlighting Sayed in the Valley of the Kings, and of course especially Arwa who coordinated everything very opportunely, so that nothing falkar

We experienced the first time in our life a cruise. It was perfect especially with the help of Arwa from the tour organization, she was always available for any question and suggestion. We advise also young people to explore Egypt with this cruise on river Nile. Audrey and Peter
