Tour guides - Khaled was a fantastic tour guide while on the cruise. He was flexible, knowledgeable and understanding of our family situation.
Mina was also a great tour guide while on the cruise. I highly recommend both for your side tours while in the cruise.

Exceptional Trip Experience with Outstanding Guides - A nice trip, the ship crew took good care of everything, the food and cabins excellent. Most of all we appreciated our guide, Khaled, took very good care of everything on the trips Absolutely recommend him.
Our Guide Michael has a lot of knowledge, a very smart man. Also if we wanted something not included in the trip, he organized.
The trip is really nice and we enjoyed it so much

Overall good experience with good guides - Good guides along the way, especially Khaled in the last 2 days. Very helpful and patient.
Would be even better if the schedule was communicated clearer in advance - so apparently if there’s not enough people, there will not be a guide with you all along the way (instead they will pop up in different locations), which is different from what I thought. Also, think the company needs to stick to the original selected ship rather than proposing switching ships last minute. This could cause a lot of confusions and suspicions on the intentions.
I eventually still got to get on the ship I originally selected. But this upfront created a bit of tensions.

Khalid is best guide - This was the best guide and tour we had in our Egypt trip. Our guide is very knowledgeable about the Egyptian history and culture. He would take time to explain in detail how historical event interwoven into religious features. He is very sensitive and caring to our individual needs and questions. This is the best any tourist would wish to have.

I am giving a 1 star - This tour was an absolute nightmare! No, I'm not exaggerating. I've been on a number of tours that were wonderful adventures. This one was not. My wife and I both deeply regretted this one and we were not alone. Less than 1/4 of our 11-person tour group ended up being booked on the "5-star" cruise ship that was promised. We were told we would be on the "La Sarah" which is indeed a nice ship, as advertised. The problem is that the tour company is happy to take your money in advance, but will not reserve a spot for you on the ship in advance. Then they will happily book you on the worst ship you've ever seen. We ended up on the ship from hell. Perhaps you think this is some overly dramatic assessment or that I am some spoiled tourist with unreasonable expectations.
