Once in a lifetime experience with the best tour guide, Hady! - This cruise and tour experience exceeded my expectations. The ship that we stayed on was modern and elegant with a comfortable cabin for two. The air conditioning and pool was also a major plus as we we were in Egypt in the middle of summer. The best part of our trip was our guide, Hady. Hady went out of his way to make sure everyone in our group had proper accommodations, he was excellent with the kiddos in our group, and showed us a few local shops and restaurants when we had some free time. His knowledge of ancient Egypt was fascinating and his passion for the history was evident during the tours. Bonus was the hot air balloon ride at the end! A once in a lifetime experience.

Hady habibi! - We had the best time with our guide, Hady! He was so knowledgeable and seemed genuinely excited to show us the best sights Egypt has to offer. He was extremely patient with us and our group (even in the hot summer sun) and even showed us some of his favorite spots in Luxor. Thank you for a wonderful time, Hady!!

A cruise with comfortable but fixable parts, a great Guide - Cruise facilities are great and the crew are friendly. But it was very unpleasant, and it was very racist, to separate the East and the West from the restaurants and make the sea visible to the West every day. All the Guides were friendly, but Mohammed Abdo, who guided me to the valleys of Karnak, Luxor Temple and Royal Palace, was definitely the best Guide I've ever met. They were so friendly and dedicated to every explanation and tried to give us beautiful photos from every place. We gave you a detailed guide to the daily schedule, detailed the check-out procedure, and contacted the taxi driver directly after the tour, so we could safely move to the next schedule. We strongly recommend the above Guide to all English-speaking Travellers.

Incredible cruise with a wonderful guide - I took the 4 day 3 night cruise with Imperial Egypt in Aswan and it was such a memorable experience. I initially chose this company because they are one of the few companies that would give me fair pricing as a solo-traveler. However, the experience made it worth it.
For one, the room was great. I liked the room that they put me into and it was very spacious. Next, my guide Mahmoud was absolutely wonderful. I was with Mahmoud for this tour for 4 days. Each day, he gave clear instructions and guidance on what the itinerary would be for the day. He would repeat what we were doing many times as well as write it down for us via text message so we could refer back to it at anytime. There was never any confusion about what we would be doing from day to day since Mahmoud's instructions were clear and concise.
Next, Mahmoud took us to the different sites that were promised by Imperial Egypt Aswan like Abu Simbel, Kom Ombo, Valley of Kings, etc. but he was very knowledgeable about the sites that we were visiting. The added benefit of having Mahmoud as our guide is that Mahmoud knows his history. He was able to clearly answer questions we had about the sites we were visiting. In our texts, he included additional pictures and diagrams that would further explain imagery seen at the sites. He also gave us really good explanations on different parts of Egyptian history that I did not expect to receive on this tour.
At different parts of the tour Mahmoud also gave us tips for how to interact with sellers and different people that we might encounter at the temples and tombs. For example, don't accept free "gifts" from the sellers at the sites. Mahmoud explained why things like this would be useful to know as tourists. LOL.
Anyways, I had such a great time on this tour. It was a 4 day long tour that was just so enriching with such an intelligent guide. I especially loved the hot air balloon we got to ride in on the last day. It was a very fun. I would definitely choose Imperial Egypt in Aswan and I would recommend them to anyone else too. Pick Mahmoud as your guide, of course. Job well done!

Very nice cruise - Best choices of the trip to have chosen this cruise for 4 Days.
Our guide Hady was great! At little care for us, good explanation during visits and adapts to our desires, constrained if necessary.
As for the cruise the activities are well paced, excursions very early in the morning and late afternoon which allows time to rest a little during the day and enjoy the incredible scenery.
The buffet meal is very good, varied, for all tastes. You don't starve, on the contrary!

This tour is packed with highlights, and is super recommended for people who are not used to travelling! The cruise board Royal Elite from Friday, the tour guide is Ms Hady, the nice guy. - Sightseeing + meals + accommodation are all included.
This price is very satisfying.
Hady, our guide, did a great job arranging all the sightseeing. The explanation was very polite and he spoke slowly so that those of us who only speak a little English could understand. He had quite a lot of knowledge and I learned a lot from his explanation. They managed my time very well, so I was able to go sightseeing with peace of mind.
The cruise boat was very clean and clean. The boat was named Royal Elite. The lobby, the restaurant, the lounge and the rooftop pool were really nice.
The food is very good and I am very satisfied. Dinner on the second day was traditional Egyptian food. All drinks, including meals, are charged.
We stayed in a lovely hotel room. It was much better than staying at an inn in Cairo.

Egypt cannot speak without seeing the Nile! - I came in July 2024 for my honeymoon.
Cairo was not a sooty city, but we flew to Aswan and from the arrival at the airport the sky was blue and it was a beautiful city.
Apply through VIATOR,
I was putting in the watsup app.
The travel agency contacted us beforehand and sent us their itinerary.
Even if the flight and the meeting time change
They responded.
We were picked up at the airport by luxury car and it was smooth.
Two French couples
Chinese Family 6
It was a party for two Japanese couples.
The ship is the ROYAL ELITE from Friday, five stars and gorgeous from the entrance.
Perfect room and restroom.
Meals are also varied every time.
If you have a mango, I recommend eating it whole.
The Egyptian food was all good.
Western food is also good.
There is a swimming pool, so it might be good to have a swimsuit.
Our tour is with Hady.
He is a kind guide who lives in Luxor.
There was a detailed explanation for each facility.
The optional Nubian village tour is impressive and highly recommended as you can take a small boat to the village and see Egyptian, Nubian life and food.
Tickets are purchased separately, but group rates? applies and is about 20 pars cheaper.
VISA and Mastercard only.
The Temple of Edfu is headed by horse-drawn carriage, a very enjoyable experience.
Anyway, it was hot at 48 degrees during the day and it was sunset at 8 p.m., but Hady always took care of the condition of the tourists.
Visiting the temple in the morning and evening does not use much physical strength, but visiting the temple in the daytime has always become like mild heat stroke lol
The water in the temple exit cafe is not expensive, so you might want to drink something cold instead of stingy.
Iced candy and coffee are expensive.
More than Cairo, I think a Nile cruise is essential for visiting Egypt.

Legitimate company with Hadi being excellent tour guide - We did a 3 nights 4 days Nile cruise on Nile Style boat from Aswan to Luxor arranged by Imperial Egypt.
The best part of this trip was our tour guide Hadi who has made this experience truly wonderful for us. We liked his sense humor and both our girls (4 and 9) got quite attached to him. He arranged everything perfectly and has been just a text away. Could not ask for a better tour guide. Due to one child being underage, she couldn’t take balloon ride with us and we were afraid that one of us have to stay behind to take care of her. Hady made sure that he took care of her while we were on the balloon ride and made sure he was there for us. Usually, tour guide will not follow you to the balloon ride in Luxor. He made this overall experience very comfortable for us. He was quite knowledgeable and we learnt a lot about Egyptian history through him. If anyone is booking the trip with Imperial Egypt, they should ask for Hadi. You will not regret it.
When it comes to Nile Style, we got the interconnecting rooms, which was very convenient. The rooms were clean, modern and beds were very comfortable with a good size windows to enjoy Nile cruise from the room. The staff were very courteous and attentive. We had an overall good experience on the cruise. I didn’t give it a 5 star as the food and drinks on the cruise were subpar. I couldn’t eat the food as the cook was terrible in my opinion. The bar would serve water down cocktails for 175 EGP and I think this could have been improved. Also, cruise doesn’t have any other facilities like children playing area, so for adults it could be ideal. Also, the events that were promised in the itinerary did not take place like belly dancing etc. as it was probably low season and not too many guests. We paid 1195 usd for 2 adults and 2 children (4 and 9) and would have expected a better quality food and drinks onboard.
