4-Days Nile Cruise From Aswan To Luxor including Abu Simbel and Hot Air Balloon

This was simply a trip of a lifetime To walk in the cradle of civilization was simply amazing, words can't describe the feelings. As to the tour operator, probably the most organized and complete tour we ever took. From beginning to end all details were on point. Boat exceeded expectations and crew super friendly. Tour guide, Bee was friendly, extremely knowledgeable and goes out of way to please. Only criticism, and it's not truly one, the food was good, not great but service was exceptional. If your looking for a bucket list trip, this is it.

Ballon trip, valley of the kings, visit the temples at sunset, enjoy the pool and the starting of the Nile cruise!

The airport shuttle pickup was very nice and professional. The guide was amazing, he spoke great English and was a joy to listen to. We received good living conditions and great food during the cruise. The only drawbacks were the drive time to Abu Simble, and the extras you had to pay for, like water and soda. The trip was amazing and if you could pay all $100 USD up front and not have to worry about paying daily as we go to each temple, it would be the greatest small group tour I'd have ever been on !! Great staff, and the whole boat ride was ran very well.

We had an amazing experience at this trip. The staff and crew were very friendly and the hotel was clean. All the visits were really good, we particularly enjoyed Karnak and Edfu. Our tour guide Bee was really good, he knew a lot of things and told it in a very interesting way. He made us very excited about Egypt and Egyptian culture! Some of the drives were long and you have to get up early, but it is so worth it! Definitely recommend!

Overall excellent trip and such a bargain! I was a little scepticle because of the price but honestly was fantastic. Saw the most incredible places, with Abu Simbel, Valley of the Kings and the hot air balloon ride being a definite highlight. Boat was better than expected with fantastic staff and facilities. Our guide Bee was great, super knowledgeable, funny and enthusiastic with a never ending knowledge on everything ancient Egyptian. Only thing would be it would have been nice to have more authentic Egyptian food with more vegetarian options and a warning: no drinks are included, not even water which is a necessity so we were surprised that wasn't included in the price.

This was the best adventure we’ve had in a long time! Our tour guides from Mody Tours always went out of their way to fulfill our wishes, whether it was to arrange for private tours and transportation or accompanying us to do our shopping in Aswan and Luxor. Our guides Mahmoud and Michael even arranged for the Boat Manager and Chef of the cruise to surprise my son on his birthday with birthday cake and some singing in Arabic! The cruise staff were amazing and the accomodations overall are a great value in my opinion. The tours are well curated to cover the best that lower Egypt has to offer! And that balloon ride at sunrise - wow! I would definitely recommend this tour and company to anyone contemplating on visiting Egypt!

Very fun trip. Our tour guide Bee was amazing and certainly loved Egypt and the heritage here. The sites were great and worth the visit. Getting to Abu Simbel was a 5 hour van ride -both ways- from Aswan and the cruise ship seemed more of a vehicle to get us to all the sites in a short amount of time than other cruise ships meant for luxury… still if you keep in good spirits and recognize this is all part of the charm of Egypt you will be okay. Learning about the archaeology here and Egyptian culture was so fascinating and fun. My wife and I had a blast with it all except the horse carriage ride to the Temple of Horus. Those horses are abused and this part of the tour NEEDS to be phased out if any change is to come. They are not just used as beasts of burden but explicitly abused. Besides this, the remainder of the trip was great and the hot air balloon ride was a great way to end the experience.

Wow, where do I start. From the beginning to end an awesome experience. I have been to Egypt before, but never saw the place as I did this time. Through the eyes of our tour guide Bishoy (Bee for short) he brought every aspect to life! He told the story, highlighting significant details and made it all make sense. His enthusiasm and passion is infectious and made us all want to change career paths and become Egyptologists! The early starts were well worth it. The selected temples: were awesome. The Dam: spectacular. The valley of the Kings: magical The balloon ride: surreal, tranquil and breath taking. We highly recommend! Thank you

We had 4 amazing days on this Nile cruise. The crew and guides are extremely friendly and the rooms very clean. Can’t get enough of the beutiful view of the Nile when sailing.

This was an incredible few days and a real highlight from our travels across Egypt. After reading a few negative reviews of the boats, we were a little concerned about what we might end up on but we were on the wonderful Blue Shadow II which was superb! The only downside being that we weren't told our boat allocation until the day of departure and it would be nice to know these details in advance from the travel company. Our room and the boat in general was clean with great facilities and provided a wonderful base for this tour. The staff on the boat were all friendly, professional and overall just really lovely people. The tour itself was flawlessly planned and executed and I still can't believe the amount we got to see and do in just a few days, this would just not be possible on your own! There are a few early starts but it Is more than worth it for the incredible experiences you get to be part of including Abu Simbel and the hot air balloon ride which are both a must! This tour was made even more special by the wonderful group of people we ended up being with and our amazing tour guide Wael Ali who was such a wonderful human being, guide and Egyptologist. He took such good care of the entire group and went above and beyond to give us the best possible memories from our short time together. His information at the sites is second to none and we never ever felt rushed around. He was always happy to answer any extra questions even in his own free time and even took the time to help us explore the culture of Egypt and meet some amazing locals. Next time we are in Egypt visiting further sites, we will definitely be checking in to see if Wael is free to show us around! For the price you pay for this tour and the amazing amount of history you get to see and be part of, I can't fault it and would recommend this experience to anybody.
