- ARAndrea· November 8th, 2025Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishWe had a great trip and everything worked well. Especially the guides in Cairo (Amal) and on the cruise (Peter) did a great job, provided us with expert knowledge and brought us closer to the sights and history of Egypt.Show moreTrip date: October 2025
- Ross· October 21st, 2025We find it hard to put a rating on this tour because the guide, Abdalla, was excellent and the overall experience was good. However, the tour company informed us the day before we started that the itinerary had changed. Instead of flying to Luxor and having a 4 night cruise to Aswan, we flew to Aswan and had a 3 night cruise to Luxor. Although we think we saw all the same things we expected a refund due to the shorter time aboard - this was refused by Itica. Won't be using them again.Show moreTrip date: October 2025
- Maria· September 17th, 2025Our guide, Peter, in Egypt was absolutely outstanding! He was professional, knowledgeable, and always attentive to the needs of the group. His explanations of history and culture were clear and fascinating, and he made the whole experience unforgettable. Thanks to Peter, our trip was truly special. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Egypt.Show more

View in EnglishThanks to Ihab for helping us from the beginning to organize our trip to Egypt. His collaboration and daily follow up made us feel accompanied and reassured the whole trip. Everything worked perfectly with the drivers and the guides in every place we visited. It is worth mentioning that the drivers were very kind and above all prudent in driving. The guides were very good in general, very well prepared professionals, they handled the language very well even with the terminology and also very polite and cordial. In Cairo we were with Isra, a young and well prepared girl, calm and smiling. She accompanied us on some wonderful visits: tour of the historical points of the city, the pyramids and museums mainly. Excellent introduction for what followed. The trip continues in Luxor with the visit to the temples of Karnak and Luxor and the Colossi of Memnon. This is a spectacular tour, unmissable, impressive and unforgettable. Our guide Josén did not like us but Ihab listened to us and solved us wonderfully for the following days of the trip. The visit in Luxor to the Valley of the Kings and the temple of Hatshepsut we did with Mohamad, an excellent guide. He allowed us to enjoy so much beauty in these two absolutely wonderful and incredible sites! Clearly a must-see of the trip. To finish the tour we traveled by car to Aswan stopping first at the temples of Edfu and Kom ombo. Each temple is surprising in its own way and has its own charm. We were fascinated by the experience in these temples thanks to Elham's excellent guide. He enchanted us in great detail entering with us in both temples, showing us and explaining us with grace, simplicity and ease. The last day of the trip is the most "heavy" because it is a long trip to get to Abu Simbel but I have to say that it is worth it. It is monumental, it is that monumental is small considering what is normally already monumental. Impressive dimensions, grandeur, beauty and not least the incredible work that UNESCO did to save this temple. The views, the desert, the Nile, Lake Nasser ... this must be seen in presence to understand the majesty. We had a guide, Samhy who accompanied us on this visit. To close with a flourish we visited the temple of Philae which is beautiful! We could not ask for more for an end of trip. The visit to the temple of Philae was beautiful. To get to the temple we had to take a short and very suggestive boat ride that takes us to the temple, a beautiful experience. Ayman our guide gave us very interesting detailed explanations with a lot of passion. Thanks to Ihab and the majestic beauties of a beautiful Egypt, more than I had imagined. We are looking forward to return to continue enjoying so many wonders, learning and exploring. THANK YOU to this great civilization for the culture, for the important legacy under so many aspects and its teachings.

Trip date: April 2025 - Nicolaj Vinkel· October 15th, 2023The Cruise was okay, but as a lot of people say in reviews egyptian 5 stars means European 2 or 3 stars. The ship was old, and not always that clean, the food was boring, and the sun deck was often covered in diesel smoke from all the ships docked together. However, a comfortable way to see a lot of temples from Luxor to Aswan. The communication to Itaca Holiday was poor and they were not very helpful. Often we had to write them the night before to get to know the program for the next day. The worst was, however, our second guide. First of all, she was 30 min late for a 2-hour excursion. Secondly, she tried to scam us into paying for some transport that was included, probably so she could just pocket the money herself. The only reason they get two stars is because Itaca Holidays offered us an extra tour as compensation for the bad experience, though we didn't have time to do this.Show moreTrip date: October 2023

- Victoria· June 27th, 2023This tour hits all the major sites, and we were met at each port by a knowledgeable tour guide. However, travelling in Egypt during the tourist low season meant that the harassment from street vendors of all kinds (including staff from the boat) was really bad and as two young women we rarely felt comfortable leaving the boat alone. Additionally, the intensity of personal attention on the boat was frankly overwhelming, the food was aggressively unappetising, and the multiple layer of subcontractors made communication challenging at times. Despite a great number of people telling me “as you like”, I rarely felt in control of my experience.Show moreTrip date: June 2023

Nick
Asked on September 7th, 2025I'm looking for a trip to Egypt for a couple, and I'm very interested in your offer. I'm considering you and two other tour operators. Is there anything that you offer that others don't? We're interested in going to Abu Simbel and staying an extra night in Cairo after the Nile Cruise. Would you be able to tell me how much the additional charges are? For example how much are the entrance fees per person?
Itaca HolidayOperator•Written September 2025We're excited to offer you a special rate for the Abu Simbel tour at $110 instead of the regular $120. Additionally, if you choose to enjoy an extra night, we're pleased to provide it at a discounted rate of $40 per person rather than $50. Cos entrance fees $125 per person.

Asked on August 21st, 2025Can you advise if there is an extra cost for a german guide? Can you advise the hotel name in Kairo? Would you be able to transfer to her hotel in Cairo on the last day from the airport in Cairo and is this included? Would the ship have alcoholic beverages and are these included in the price?
- Itaca HolidayOperator•Written August 2025
A German-speaking guide can certainly be arranged. The supplement for this service will be €100. The hotel in Cairo will be Locanda Museum hotel. Regarding the airport transfer on the last day: originally this is not included. However, as a gesture of appreciation for choosing our services, we will be happy to provide this transfer complimentary to ensure a smoother and more convenient experience. On the Nile Cruise, guests will enjoy full board (breakfast, lunch, and dinner included). Alcoholic beverages are not included in the package price, but they are available for purchase on board.
