We did a 4-day all-inclusive Nile River cruise with Egypt Best Tours and it was outstanding from start to finish. The food on board was excellent fresh, varied, and plentiful every day. The cabin and ship were very comfortable and well maintained, and the staff were always friendly and attentive. The tour guides were a real highlight: knowledgeable, organized, and genuinely passionate about the history. Every stop was smooth, well timed, and stress-free. Overall, the cruise was great value and an unforgettable way to experience Egypt. Highly recommend Egypt Best Tours!

My experience on the Nile Cruise was truly memorable. From start to finish, everything was organised beautifully the excursions to the temples were fascinating, the onboard entertainment was lively, and the staff made every moment enjoyable. A special mention goes to Ahmed, who treated me like a brother throughout the trip. He went above and beyond to make sure every need was met, coordinating all the events and bookings seamlessly. Thanks to him, the entire process felt smooth and effortless. This cruise offered the perfect blend of culture, relaxation, and genuine hospitality. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Egypt it is an experience I will always cherish.

This tour is a good way to see several Egyptian highlights in a short amount of time. Our private guide/Egyptologist was Ahmed Mido and I would gladly recommend him. He is a very nice man who is knowledgeable about the history of the various sites and decoding hieroglyphics. I'm sure you'll enjoy this tour... but please be clear on what to expect. Firstly, our boat was far more modest than the photos. It's called the Jaz Crown Jubilee. Additionally, you need to read the itinerary very closely. Even through the title says "including tours" - Abu Simbel ($165USD), Hot Air Balloon ($99) and Nubian Village ($49) are all additional charges which will need to be paid in cash. You're also responsible for your own entrance into all sites which typically run $10-15 each. Please know that tipping is very different in Egyptian culture. Pretty much each person who you interact with will expect a tip so come prepared with LOTS of small bills. I will say that "Egypt Best Day Tours" was very easy to communicate with via WhatsApp and they checked in nearly every day to ensure everything was going well with us. Egypt is a spectacular place to visit so I recommend splurging on all the optional tours. Each site is more spectacular than the last... ENJOY!

This tour is a good way to see several Egyptian highlights in a short amount of time. Our Egyptologist was Ahmed Mido who is a very nice man and knowledgeable about the history of the various sites and decoding hieroglyphics. I think you'll enjoy this tour IF you're clear on what to expect. Firstly, the boat shown in the photos for this listing are misleading. You'll need to upgrade to a "luxury tour" for that type of boat. Our boat was the far more modest, Jaz Crown Jubilee. Additionally, you need to read the itinerary very closely - Abu Simbel ($165), Hot Air Balloon ($99) and Nubian Village ($49) are all additional charges which will need to be paid in cash.

Egypt is an amazing pace to visit. I hope you enjoy!

We are so glad web booked our dream trip to Egypt with Egypt Best Tours! Very impressed, from the beginning, with our travel consultant Hazem , who was knowledgeable, professional, and patient with all my questions. he explained everything in detail and provided all needed information so we would know what to expect. We really lucked out with amazing tour guides! Our first of two guides was Hussein, who was so wise, friendly and fun! We learned so much and really enjoyed spending time with him for our Cairo/Giza sightseeing. Restaurant choices were great, too… we are still dreaming about the amazing food! Our second guide once we got to Aswan to begin our Nile Cruise at movenpick Nile Cruise portion of the trip was Ahmed , and we really enjoyed our time with him as well! He was attentive and kind, making sure to check on us after one person in our group was temporarily ill. We were impressed with both guides’ abilities to juggle multiple people’s needs and keeping us all on schedule so we could be sure to spend quality time in each scheduled location. And their enthusiasm and knowledge of Egyptian history really shined through; they obviously love their job! Highly recommend requesting these guides if possible and highly recommend using Egypt Best Tours when traveling to Egypt. We were able to just relax and enjoy ourselves bc they took care of everything!

5 out of 5 stars for sure!!!! This was the best trip I have ever been on. Every part of the trip was amazing. Everyone was extremely helpful. We went on a a cruise and there are many cruise ships we saw and they booked us with the best cruise lines and every thing we wanted to do they were able to accommodate. They went above and beyond. I have used many travel companies in the past, none of them compare to how we were treated here. From the min I book with them they made me feel comfortable and I felt that every step of the way was special and they went out of their way to make me feel that way. Ballon rides, cruise, camel rides, every guide we had was professional and knowledgeable and made every temple and site come to life for us. I have already recommended to friends at home and plan on coming back next year with more of my family. Use this company 100%. I promise you won’t be disappointed. EGYPT BEST TOURS is the BEST.

Ahmed was our guide and took care of our entire itinerary. He went above and beyond my expectations. Everything of interest to me in southern Egypt was covered attentively by him. The Cruise and Ahmed's tour was professional and well organized. Highly recommend it.
