    Excellent host, Harry was a gem, he organized everything so well A+ host! Tour guides were trained archeologists who had worked in the field and were so knowledgeable, and treated us all so well.😊

    We’ve had a great time. Everything was really well organised. We felt like we were in good hands the whole time. Our guides (Abdul and Saladino) were fantastic. The cruise was great too. There was plenty of time to see the sites and do some shopping too.

    The tour was well chosen and professionally staffed in terms of guides and their encyclopedic knowledge of the eons of Egyptian social history. Overall a solid "value for money" experience; this was my 2nd very similar tour of Egypt and the one 3 years ago was with Gate 1. My only major criticism was with the staff of the cruise ship and their overall competence. First the "reception staff" (Mathew and Timothy(?)) simply did not have anywhere enough ENGLISH SPEAKING SKILLS to understand simply questions about details of the ship and about services that were supposed to be available e.g. internet paid connection! The ship was either new or very recently refurbished and should have been an exceptional experience, but between the incompetence of the reception staff and the further very repetitious nature of the food buffets the "on ship" experience was a solid C- and much less satisfactory than the 4 days 3 years ago on the Gate 1 included cruise time. The quality of every version of "beef" available was poor and actually very hard to identify as beef. Our meals in economy class Lufthansa flights returning to California were more tasty, and even better presented!!!!! THAT is simply inexcusable. YOUR staff were excellent in the main office in responding to our "special needs" for the return connections and the airport pickup and drop-off service you provided was A+. The "tour" fulfilled ALL my exceptions and was done with GREAT staff. The time on the ship, which was the center of our overall experience (7 days not 4) was sub-standard and I would not recommend that ship for further use by your company!!!!!

    It’s been many years since I first discovered Egyptian and the Ancient Wonders of the World in school. Finally making this Bucket List trip has exceeded my expectations! Egypt has so much more to offer than the Great Pyramids. I did the Nile Adventure Odyssey with the 7 day cruise and was overjoyed at my experience! Beyond the Nile Tours/Noorbelle Tours gave me an unforgettable experience. The tour company management and guides are exceptional. Ahmed (the Manager), Abdul (my Cairo tour guide and archaeologist) and “King Ahmed I” (my Luxor tour guide and Egyptologist) took excellent care of me while on tour. Any question or request I had was quickly answered and I was provided excellent ideas on where to shop, eat and soak up the culture. All the local craftsmen, artisans, restaurants and vendors all gave me an amazing look at the Egyptian culture. I took advantage of as many excursions as possible and was asking for more. I particularly loved the tranquility of Saqqara and the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel. The views are breathtaking and I feel like every picture is a masterpiece! Any history buff, world traveler or nomad can find something wonderful about Egypt but I highly recommend The Nile Adventure Odyssey and Beyond the Nile Tours. You won’t regret it! Aside from the expected tourist stops, the cruise on the Nile was transformative. Sailing up and down the Nile while seeing Egypt at daybreak, dusk or night was incredible. The colors, sounds, flavors all added to one of the best vacations I’ve ever had. I had the benefit of a private, semi-private and full tour, so I can attest that the company will work with you to accommodate your requests. I’m so grateful for the experience!

    Poor organisation between tour leader and the guides. There no proper time schedule (a crewdly and not accurate summary is all you get from "Harry" the tour guide and it doesn't match with the description from Tour Radar so you constantly have to be alert to what the helll is going on at the edge of the seat. Communication between between Tour leader to his guides and to the travellers were soo poorly delivered everyone kept asking each other, what is happening next, where do we meet, what time to get up, time to pack, it was mentally and physically exhausting having to second guess what is happening all the time so you have to be prepared instead of relax and enjoy the trip. From the tour leader to the guides and all staff involved in service, all they were interested in was being tip even though their performance doesn't deserve it. But even worse are the locals Egyptian targeting tourists for money and hassling us for tip with countless sob stories of family needing money, daughter getting marry, wife is sick, one even claim he was out boat baker and needed money to buy spices! They were rude, relentless in trying extort money from us tourist. It was emotionally draining trying to fend of the locals even though we couldnt avoid the hospitality staff who were just as hungry for tip. The USD 60 tip kitty we were required to paid meant nothing as drivers and anyone else servicing us kept wanting more. The poor communication and organisation throughout the trip kept everyone alert and the relentless tipping pressure made this one of worse tour and expensive tour I have been on. This travel company does not get my recommendation. Avoid for your sanity.

    The tour company does not state that gratuities, $125 minimum for tour guide and $60 minimum for driver must be paid upfront and in US cash, per person. And the tour company wants US cash to cover all entrance fees, $150 upfront. So over $300, per person, in US cash, upfront, day 1.The company then asks for another gratuity at the end of the tour. It is a huge red flag this is emailed to the customer after the trip is booked and paid and so much cash is asked for upfront. I did not feel safe. I’ve travelled with tour radar in the past. It was a wonderful experience. This new experience has made me decide that I will not travel with tour radar in the future.

    • Beyond The Nile ToursOperatorWritten April 2025

      1- The Nile cruise ship will be M/S Princess Sarah or similar. 2- Yes, you can smoke at any open area like the sun deck. 3- There is no available drinks package, all the drinks not included even water. We don't have a menu for the drinks, But you will find the drinks menu available on the cruise ship when you arrive and check in on the Nile cruise ship. 4- The package includes only domestic flight from (Cairo - Luxor) and from (Aswan - Cairo). 5- There is an available WiFi on the cruise ship, but to be honest with you, the signal is not good and sometimes it is not working, and it is expensive, we recommend you buy a SIM Card from the shopping center which very close to the hotel, and you can use it everywhere. 6- It is too much walking in some places, but we will do our best to help you in every archeological site. 7- You can book them upon arrival at the welcome meeting with our representative, but it is recommended to book them in advance to secure the availability. 8- Unfortunately, we can refund the deposit to another tour.

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      1) Is there a limit to the amount of alcohol we can BRING on board? 2) Are there any rooms with balconies? 3) Can you give me a rough guess cost of how much we can expect to pay for water (or other beverages) on board? 4) Any rough estimate on what we can expect to pay for gratuities?

    • Beyond The Nile ToursOperatorWritten April 2025

      1- I think there is no limit to the amount of alcohol on board. 2- Unfortunately, our Nile cruise has only a large panoramic ultra violet window. But if you want a balcony you can upgrade your Nile cruise to a higher cruise with balcony and the upgrade will cost you 300 USD per person. 3- The prices of the drinks vary but it starts from 30 Egyptian pounds. 4- The tipping kitty is USD $60 per person and covers tips for all drivers and boat crew along the way. The only tips not included in the kitty are for the tour guides which you can tip at your own discretion.
