What people love about River Cruise Tours from Aswan to Luxor
- From Aswan 3 Days 2 Nights Nile Cruise
Like some of the other reviews our trip was dramatically altered two days prior to sailing due to a maintenance issue with the boat. We were, however, okay with the changes and extremely happy with our tour guide, Ramzy. Without him this trip could have been a bust. He is a valuable member of their team. Thank you so much Ramzy!!!
