What people love about Nile River Cruises in October
- Legend of the Nile: 6-Days Tour for 5 stars Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor & Sleeper Train Round Trip From Cairo
Good trip. The guides provided were quite friendly and helpful. There were quite a few guides for different cities but the communication with them very good. Nicely organised tour. We very much enjoyed the cruise along the Nile. Definitely recommended.
- River Nile Dream - 4 Days from Luxor to Aswan (5 Stars Nile Cruise & Sightseeing)
Best holidays ever- very nice staff, well organised tours with our guide- Khaled Elsaady who thought about everything- great fun for families with small children.
- River Nile Story - 4 Days 5 stars Nile Cruise Aswan to Luxor with meals and Sightseeing
They didn't include us in the group to Abu Simbel so we had to wait until the following day or miss it entirely. Ultimately we missed the Valley of the Kings because we had signed up for the hot air balloon and had to choose between the hot air balloon and the hot air balloon because time had run out. I had checked with them prior to booking the tour and our flight to cairo. Despite this, we were left off the trip to abu simbel because they said they were capped out and couldn't take us. Another problem was that despite the tour advertising that admission was included to certain temples, we were charged admission to each site. Despite this, our tour guide was exceptional and attentivel. The cruise was adequate. The food ok
