    Both of our guides were excellent. They were knowledgable, patient, and insightful. They try to anticipate situations and try their best to prepare us what to expect. They were always prompt and courteous, they were not asking personal questions and were respectful and honest at all times.

    Tamer is a very friendly person. Besides his extensive knowledge of Egyptian history, he's also a truly excellent guide. For example, on the cruise ship, he asks if everything is okay and handles unexpected events calmly and effectively. He even contacted us a few days later how we were doing in Hurghada! We felt honored to have him as our guide on this Nile cruise.

    Our Nile cruise was a high light of our trip to Egypt this August 2025. The organisation of the tour was incredible, in no small well due to our tour guides attention to detail, and we always informed well in advance of the next days agenda. Ahmed Kassen was our guide for the duration and I can only say he was fantastic. So much knowledge, so organised and such a fun personality. ‘My family’ he addressed the group, ‘ my queen’ to all the ladies in the group in his lovely gentle manner. So respectful of everyone, never pushy. Tolerant and accommodating of the vendors along the way but protective of the tour group at the same time with loads of advice. The Nubian village tour was fantastic. It constantly exceeded my expectations as there was another little surprise around every corner of the trip. I’d hate to ruin this for future tours so will say no more except that it’s one not to miss. Ahmed’s knowledge of Egyptology was exceptional and I learned loads. The temple tours were all amazing and each new one surpassed the last. Four nights and three days, so short but we did so much and met such lovely people that it seemed longer and we were sad to part and go our separate way. The boat trip was very comfortable and clean. The buffet food was excellent and the beer and wine available was not over priced. We all loved the trip, our family of 4, travelling with my husband, 21 yo daughter and 16 yo son. Thank you so much tourradar but most especially Ahmed for a wonderful time.

    Our trip to Egypt has been an unforgettable adventure. But the best thing without a doubt, was our cruise on the Nile, we could not be more grateful. From the very first moment, all the crew was incredibly kind and helpful: cleaning, waiters, reception staff... all always with a smile and willing to help. They were even kind enough to let us stay on board until 5pm, even though check-out was at 8am. The ship itself was great and everything was spotless. The food was, without a doubt, the best we tasted on our entire trip in Egypt: varied and delicious. Also the excursions we took were spectacular. But the most important thing, and what really made the difference, was our guide Ahmed. He is an exceptional person. From the first day he was charming, attentive and always concerned about our well-being. He surprised us with little details like buying us water, and thanks to him we even enjoyed a suite, although we had booked a normal room. His explanations during the visits were exciting, clear and very interesting. He was always willing to help us in everything we needed, making us feel accompanied and cared for at every moment. Also, while other guides on the cruise went with a large group of people, we were only 4 people, which made our experience more familiar and comfortable. From the bottom of my heart: thank you, Ahmed! I wish you had been our guide for the entire trip in Egypt, because your dedication and care made this experience even more special. In short, I recommend everyone to experience Egypt without fear, it is a safe country full of hospitable people. And if you are lucky enough to have Ahmed as your guide on your Nile cruise, the experience will be simply perfect.

    We took a Nile cruise of 4 days and 3 nights and the experience was excellent. From the first moment the attention of the crew was very cordial and professional, always willing to help in everything necessary. Our guide, Ahmed, was exceptional: attentive, approachable and very knowledgeable, which made each visit even more interesting. The ship's facilities were very well maintained, clean and comfortable, which made the stay very pleasant. The food was varied and of good quality, always with options for all tastes. The itinerary included visits to essential sites in Egypt, which made it possible to see the highlights in a short time without it feeling rushed. Also, throughout the trip I felt very safe, which is important when visiting a country for the first time. Overall, it was an unforgettable and very well organized experience that I would recommend without any hesitation. I congratulate again our guide Ahmed, who was undoubtedly key to our experience.

    I wort this A Once-in-a-Lifetime Experience with a One-of-a-Kind Guide – Tamer Mahmoud Traveling to Egypt was a lifelong dream—one I approached with high expectations and deep reverence. What I didn’t anticipate was how profoundly this trip would touch my heart, thanks to Tamer Mahmoud. More than just a tour guide, Tamer became the heart and soul of our journey. A true cultural ambassador, he brought Egypt to life with wisdom, warmth, and authenticity that exceeded every hope I had. From the very first moment we met him until our final day together, every detail was flawless. Tamer’s service was exceptional—professional, highly organized, and thoughtful. He anticipated our needs before we even voiced them, ensuring each day ran seamlessly. But what truly set him apart was his spirit: kind, humble, endlessly patient, and deeply passionate about his country and its history. Tamer’s knowledge of Egypt’s ancient wonders, local traditions, and lesser-known treasures was impressive. Yet it was his delivery—rich in storytelling, reverence, and context—that made it unforgettable. With every explanation, he didn’t just teach us—he invited us to feel and connect. He turned historic sites into sacred moments, making us feel not like tourists, but like part of something greater. As someone with a deep fascination for ancient civilizations, this trip carried personal significance. I’ve had the opportunity to explore other historic destinations, but none matched the emotional and cultural depth of this journey. Tamer created a space where we felt genuinely welcomed, grounded, and emotionally connected not only to the landmarks, but to the people and soul of Egypt itself. He consistently went above and beyond—always present, approachable, and eager to answer any question with sincerity and depth. His care was felt in every gesture. He brought joy, lightness, and laughter into every day, and his hospitality was simply unmatched. Everyone in our group felt the same Tamer made this experience unforgettable. Because of him, this trip wasn’t just memorable, it was transformative. We left Egypt not only with incredible memories, but with full hearts and a profound sense of gratitude. To anyone considering a trip to Egypt: if you have the chance to tour with Tamer Mahmoud, take it. You are not just signing up for a tour—you are stepping into a rare, meaningful, and deeply human experience. I look forward to returning one day and will wholeheartedly recommend Tamer to friends, family, and anyone seeking more than just a vacation but a true journey of the soul.

    We had an unforgettable cruise between Aswan and Luxor in Egypt. The quality of the cruise was outstanding — the boat itself was truly incredible — but what made this trip truly exceptional was our guide, Tamer. He accompanied us throughout the journey and brought every site to life with fascinating stories and anecdotes. From the stunning Philae Temple to the Valley of the Kings, the Temple of Hatshepsut, Karnak, and more, his knowledge, passion, and kindness made our experience unique. We couldn’t recommend him and this cruise highly enough!

On your last day in Luxor, since your flight is at 23:45 pm, we can arrange optional extra activities after the tour officially ends around 1:30–2:00 pm. Popular options include visiting the Luxor Museum, or enjoying a felucca ride on the Nile before your airport transfer.

    I am interested in this Nile Cruise. At the moment it is a single booking but there may be an additional person joining me. Can you confirm the cost?

    Tour Details
    • Holiday In EgyptOperatorWritten July 2025

      You're welcome to select the single room option for now. If a second traveler decides to join—even up to one month before the tour's departure—we will waive the single supplement and update your booking to a double room. In that case, the cost will be 547 CAD per person based on double occupancy. If no one joins, we will simply proceed with the single room as planned. There are no additional payments beyond the entrance fees and tips for the cruise ship crew and drivers. Regarding the cruise ship for the March 2026 departure, it's still too early to confirm the exact vessel. However, to give you an idea of the level of quality we provide, please take a look at some of the cruise ships we often use: Le Fayan 2, HS Renaissance, HS Radamis, and Nile Story. We consistently select top-tier ships that meet or exceed our guests' expectations.
