Great tour! Great staff! Great guides! Let’s work on the food! - Great tour! The accommodations of the boat were incredible! The staff in the boat were always looking out for me and guides for the tours were on point and on time! The struggle for me was the food (Egyptian food). As foreigners to the country we struggle with the taste of the food and think it would of been better to always have a world food option each time we dined instead of sometimes all the food being Arabic because me and most of my table were not eating much since we didn’t like it. (Went out and got McDonald’s one time) but still overall i would do it again!

Amazing cruise on the Nile - The cruise was quite good and definitely worth for the money you pay. Specially considering all the inclusions it has. The room and private toilet was spacious, and most of the days we were lucky to have the Nile river view from the window. Staff super friendly and awesome guide Mahmoud Amin.

A MUST do thing in Egypt - This experience was incredible. My partner and I enjoyed all of the excursions and the time on the boat. Our guide, Mahmoud, really went above and beyond to ensure our experience was the best. He was knowledgeable and shared his expertise with us and our group. I would definitely return and would recommend this to others looking to visit Egypt.

Great service & wonderful guides! - Tours: The experience covered such a wide array of things to do. We chose to have extra days in Aswan & Luxor however if we just wanted to see the main sights this covered everything, cut out logistics, & planned our days around the scorching heat. Mahmoud (our guide) took the sightseeing to another level connecting us to the history & the mythology of each temple, he ensured we also had enough time to explore on our own and focused on our experience. Service: Chef Mustafa, Waiters Mahmoud & Kareem took their jobs with true professional warmth along with the rest of the staff. Each day Mahmoud found a way to connect with everyone at the table and joke with us. Mustafa brought a smile to each person I saw go up to grab some food each day. Boat: Hapi 5 was a wonderful place to relax.

Good experience - Excellent tour and tour guide, especially if you are interested in learning about the ancient Egyptians. Mohammed Gobran was very knowledgeable and helpful during the tour. All of our Vegan accommodations were met, which was our initial concerns before booking the tour. Good experience overall, I really appreciated that the tour guide suggested using the Van instead of using horses to visit some of the temples because of the conditions of which these animals were in. I would also NOT recommend doing the Numbian Village tour because of the terrible confinements of which the crocodiles were in.

Cruise into ancient Egyptian civilisation - Wonderful tour which we see all the sights. Mohammed Gobran is very knowledgeable about all the Egyptian history and patience with us. He gave us plenty of time to absorb the atmosphere and take pictures. The only negative comments are the van is very small for our group of 12 and the air conditioning is not cold enough

Excellent but busy Nile cruise - 4 days packed with activities and 3 nights on the Nile River. Our trip ended up being through Mody tours onboard the Hapi V. The ship was typical, adequate, nothing fancy. The staff were excellent and attentive. Pool and bar on board. Drinks priced reasonably. Would have liked free water or coffee with meals. Tour guide Mahmoud quite knowledgeable and helpful. We boarded the ship the morning of the first day amd then spent the rest of the day seeing the dam and Philae temple. After a short night's sleep we drove to Abu Simbel. Then the ship set sail. Landed at Kom ombo then on to Edfu. Finally docked the last night at Luxor and went to Karnack and Luxor temples. Another short night's sleep and up early again for a hot air balloon ride which was amazing, valley of the kings, colossus, and Hapshetsut temple. Done by 1pm. Well organized but very early departure each day to stay on schedule. You won't sleep much! I would have liked more advance communication about the pickup from our hotel the first day. The itinerary originally said 7am but I found out the afternoon prior it would be 10am. Nice to have to get some extra sleep, but it would have been helpful with flights etc. to have this information sooner. However I highly recommend this experience and would do it again. A great way to see many sights along the Nile!
