This was an unforgettable trip! It is a jam-packed trip with so many sites & activities, yet it also manages to offer relaxation while you cruise down the Nile in-between stops. Heba is incredibly attentive although there were a few changes about departure times/locations. She went out of her way to make it special for us (I was celebrating graduation & my friend his birthday!). She frequently checked in on us via WhatsApp to make sure everything was going smoothly. We loved our guide Ahmed (be sure to request him!!). His way of presenting information is super effective and I feel like I’m walking away from this trip with waaaaay more insight & education than I have ever had on any other trip. We really appreciated him. Overall the boat was nice and I loved the rooftop deck & pool. The food is ok but it’s fine for what it is and the staff is attentive. So happy & grateful for this experience!

Probably one the best experiences my wife and I have ever had. Our tour company was in contact with us via WhatsApp from the very beginning to confirm our details and our pick up time in the morning. We were picked up at 4am promptly as detailed and made our way to our boat on the Nile where we were offered Coffee to start our early journey over to the West Bank then on our tour bus to the Ballon park where we met our fellow Tourists. We met our Pilot and was given a thorough safety briefing and after a short while we were airborne with a gorgeous Sunrise and a beautiful view of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. Beautiful and serene is an understatement. Our Pilot made sure to point out all the various highlights along the way. Afterwards after our soft landing we met our absolutely wonderful guide Hatem. I cannot stress enough how comfortable and welcomed he made us feel and even more importantly how knowledgeable he was when it came to our tour of the Valley of the King's, Queen Hatshepsut's Temple and the Colossi of Memnon. We felt like we had our own personal guide that would answer any and all questions and knew everything there was to know about the History in the area. This tour hit all of the highlights in Luxor and we would book this tour again ourselves and highly recommend it.
