Nile River Cruise

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.
Best of it

Best Way to Experience Egypt !!

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.
Such a great time!

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!
Excellent trip, no brainer

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.
Egypt and the Nile!

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!
Great Trip - Except the horse ride
Scott_F
, Jun 2022
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.

A magical experience we’ll never forget!

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
Must do!

Amazing experience and guide!

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.
Not the best, but decent
Lily_M

I would recommend this to a friend but with warning. The atmosphere, food, and staff were great.
However, our tour guide told us the drive to Abu Simbel would be 3 hours, but instead it was 5.5 hours each way. He didn’t tell us we’d have to pick up people from other hotels which added to the time and only gave us a box breakfast for a 12 hour day. We thought the whole time we would be back around 1pm like he said, but instead got back at 5pm running on little to no food. Not to mention the “breakfast” was bread and cucumbers which is completely unacceptable.
We did not feel well taken care of on the excursions. There were two days with box breakfasts which was very frustrating since we paid for a full meal.
Our tour guide was decent. He gave us okay information but it wasn’t that interesting or cultural.
Overall, the boat was great but the tour guide and excursions (which is the bulk of the time) could’ve been better.
Response from Host , Jun 2022
Dear lily,
Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your Nile Cruise Trip and your good comments about the Atmosphere, Food and staff..
re the Abu Simble trip, Unfortunately on that day we received a note from the Authorities that the maximum speed not to exceed 90 km / hour and that is why the trip took long time.
And as described on the trip conditions; the trip is group sharing (not a private trip) and we had to pick up our clients from other hotels and boats..
Thank you for your understanding
Nice crouse

Dream Vacation Cruise Led By Fantastic Tour Guide
Lizbeth_K
, Jun 2022
My family had a dream vacation filled with adventure, relaxation, education, and excitement. The 4-days Nile Cruise was the highlight of our trip that started in Aswan and ended in Luxor. Our tour guide, Wael Mohamed Ali, was simply fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and accommodating during a jammed-packed tour and shared the history of each site while sharing his culture. Wael spoke fluent English which was very helpful and was patient with us translating for a family member who spoke only Spanish. The visited sites are undesribeable to place in words. The entire cruise and tour was well organized and everyone staff member was extremely friendly from the boat crew, cooks, housekeeping, drivers and of course Wael Mohamed Ali. THe highlight of the trip was definitely the hot air balloon ride, but the entire package was equally memorable. We highly recommend this tour!
Fantastic

The Nile cruise was nice! The best part was our tour guide Bishoy (Bee) who had extensive knowledge of egyptian, greek and roman history and was able to explain everything well and to the point, it made us actually learn something about all the temples we visited and left a mark in our knowledge of this ancient history.
The cruise itself is a bit outdated but the food was good enough.
Very informative

One-of-a-kind experience for those on a tight schedule
SteffieAnn_T

This is an excellent way to discover Egypt if you don't have a lot of time. The schedule is very intense and you wake up really early in order to avoid the extreme heat during the day. It is a fantastic experience to visit all the important historical sites, from the amazing Abu Simbel temples in the south to the impressive Valley of the Kings (plus the unmissable hot air balloon ride!) in Luxor. One cautionary note: there is a lot of pressure to buy things everywhere, make sure to haggle and only get things that you really want.
Our cruise ship was excellent, the food was tasty, the rooms have large French windows and the personnel were very helpful. Our guide Mustafa Ragab was fantastic and really made the trip special for us. He had an excellent knowledge of the sites and superb organisational skills, answering all our questions and making sure that he looked after all our needs. Thank you Mustafa! We highly recommend the cruise and our guide!
Great experience

The boat is modern and amazing. A one time experience. 100% recommended. Thank you so much Bee and the entire crew. Margaux & Yann
