What people love about Nile River Cruises in October
- Nile Odyssey: Luxor - Aswan -Abu Simbel - Hot Air balloon A5 days with tour guided
the trip is good, the program is a little bit charged and the shared transport to abu sumble is not good for big men like me with 190 cm hight. I recommend to review the prices for extras
- 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.
- Luxurious 4-Night Nile Cruise (Luxor-Aswan)
Words cannot describe how satisfy we are with the team. Right from Cairo, Tony did look after us. We arrived earlier than the tour dates and left after the tour dates. Tony offered us the pick up services from Cairo nonetheless and for that we truly appreciate the extra mile they did for us. Then in Luxor, we met up with our tour guide Mahmet and manager Mac. Both of them did ensure we are well look after. We managed to absorb a lot of knowledge and the understanding of their rich history. If I can rate them, it is 10 stars out of 5
