So happy I chose this cruise! It was amazing time and saw so many amazing places and temples. From booking with Heba to our tour guide Mohamed el khady. Mohamed was very nice, informative and pays attention to your needs and what you want to do. Excellent experience!

Finding Egypt Gift Tours made all the difference in our planning to visit Egypt. We were getting frustrated by too many Nile Boat Cruise choices and all sorts of mixed reviews. We almost gave up. But we finally contacted EGT and a woman named Heba Haggag responded right away! She gave us good information and some sane advice. She didn’t oversell and in fact, helped us save money. We booked the tour and felt like we had a helpful and responsive contact the entire time. The tour itself was great. The tours really are similar, so you take what you get (we didn’t know our boat until the day of), but what can make the difference is the guide. Ours was Ahmed and he was a veteran. He made sure we were at the right places and the right time and shared his extensive knowledge as we went along. The food on the M/S Nile Marquis was good. Nothing outstanding, but plentiful. Beer and wine were available (although we bought some wine of our own at Duty Free). We had been told to try and book an upper floor room - so we asked for that. But, thanks too Heba, we were upgraded to a beautiful Suite facing the bow of the boat with our own little deck. I don’t know how you get that room - but it made a great deal of difference in our attitude and comfort level :) And again, the boats are similar - no sense getting boat envy. Ours was fine and most of the time you are on land.

I took a Nile cruise with my 13 year old son in Feb 2022. From the moment I contacted Egypt Gift Tour, Heba has been great. She was very professional and accommodating. She replied my messages promptly and always helpful. That was a last min booking. Heba found us a great ship and provided us with a stress free pre boarding experience. The cruise itself was 10 out of 10. The ship was recently renovated. The lobby was grand and elegantly decorated. The room was nice too. All the activities both on and off the ship were seamlessly ran. By that time, we are 8 months into our world travel gap year and had lived in Cairo for some time, I had never had any tourist expense as great as that Nile cruise. They KNOW how to run that cruise! The sightseeing along the Nile River was amazing!!! All the magnificent ancient temples and royal tombs!! Hot air balloon ride over the Nile River the Valley of the Kings!! OMG - all so impressive! A must see in one’s life time. I liked the experience so much that when my fiend and her family visited Egypt in the Summer of 2023, I bought the cruise for them as a gift. I contacted Heba, my trusted agent of courses. She again did an amazing job. She even upgraded my fiends to a better ship since I’m a retuned customer. My fiends and her family had a wonderful once in a life time experience thanks to Egypt Gift Tour and Heba. Because of the great past experiences, I’m contracting Heba for the third time to help me with an even bigger group of more than 10 people. I’m sure she will do a great job to give everyone an outstanding experience. I highly recommend Egypt Gift Tour and Heba. I would rate more than 5 stars if I could.

We had soooo much fun on this trip. The guide Mohamed wafa told us lots of history and background in ancient Egypt! We were with 2 years kid but he cared of us a lot. We couldn’t visit and enjoy so many temples if the guide wasn’t with us. Thank you for the amazing trip!!

Mohamad is amazing. Sense of humor and Great knowledge of Egypt culture. He has been the best guide we have had. So thank you for arranging this with him. I would definitely use his services again and rate him a 10/10. It's been a wonderful cruise experience with my kids. Clean and comfortable room, great transportation all the way, good food and drinks on the boat, the sunset view from room is just amazing and romantic! Love to recommend to all my friends!

Best thing I’ve ever done! Even traveling as a single female I always felt safe. Travel with Mona, she’s very enthusiastic about teaching you all things Egypt.

We had done an entire package of Egypt from Heba and Egypt gift tours. Heba was able to create personalized tour that included this Nile cruise. Rocky was our tour guide and Egyptologist. He engaged all by telling stories with us being the characters. It allowed good engagement from all. We had a group of 12 so got to know each other as well. This cruise a whirlwind of Egypt. Amazing history, temples and human ingenuity on display. This is going to want you to come back for more detailed tour of Luxor, Aswan and other sites. Our balloon ride was canceled due to poor weather (which can happen). We were notified the night before and given option to refund money or take a tour of Luxor at night )we chose that) and it was great. Taking the streets in horse carriage during Ramadan was amazing look at culture and peek at life in Luxor (East Bank). Overall amazing experience that leaves us with wanting to come back for more.

Brilliant experience from start to finish ! The entire tour company were so helpful & we couldn't possibly find fault with the crew on board the M/S Semiramis - they all made our Nile cruise so enjoyable with their friendliness & excellent food . The party night was great fun too ! Photos do not do justice to the amazing Temples , scenes & villages . Our tour guide 'Rucky' welcomed us into his tour family and kept us all safe, informed & entertained. Stories of Egyptian Kings & Queens were brought to life by involving us all as 'cast members" - Just refer to me as 'Isis - Godess of Love & Beauty' 🥰 from now on !! The most daunting thing was negotiating the tips but Rucky gave us all clear advice & made everything so easy. He was so knowledgeable and always ready to help with any haggling for the prices of any purchases We definitely had a most wonderful experience. Unfortunately the hot air balloon ride was cancelled due to weather conditions but that didn't take away from our whole trip - we always felt that our comfort , enjoyment & safety were a priority . We will be recommending this tour & our friend 'Rucky' to anyone keen to experience the Nile in the best way possible.

For 4 days in the Nile River cruise we were not just a family- we were RUCKY FAMILY! Our dedicated guide, Rucky, gave an in-depth story of the temples we visited. He made it easy to understand through storry telling and using us as characters. Jist howp we had more time for pictures since the places were so nice! Food could have been better in the cruise ship. Fish was often times undercooked and raw. Restaursnt staff particulary the managwr should be more respectful to its guest. Aside from the food and manager, overall, it was an escellent experience with Rucky!

Definitely a pleasant and hassle free experience with Rocky Family! Rocky was a really really great tour guide. Rocky had tons of knowledge to share about Egypt’s history and has a creative way of explaining the myths and stories relevant to your tour site. Rocky also provides guidance in tipping and bargaining (when buying souvenirs). You can trust Rocky’s tour and food suggestions most especially around Luxor. Rocky also helped in arranging wake up calls all through out which kept us within schedule. He was well known in most sites like Nubian Village and Luxor which will make the trip more enjoyable. He will also show you some dance moves when you are cruising along the Nile River. Awesome Trip with Rocky Family! He is Dangerous in keeping time so do inform him if you need more time to take pictures.

Rocky family! 日本からの観光客がコロナで減っているので、英語でのツアー参加でした。 ガイドのRocky(日本語ツアーでは兄貴と呼ばれているらしい)は日本語がペラペラ！ 英語でのツアーですが、日本語で話しかけてくれたらすごいフレンドリーなガイドでした。 クルーズでたくさんの神殿を回るのでクルーズからの観光客が多い中、なるべく混雑しない時間帯にゆっくりと見て写真が撮れるようにツアーをアレンジしてくれます。 また各神殿でのエピソードも、ユニークなスタイルで話してくれるので聞き入って非常に楽しかったです！ 何か問題があってもRockyに話せば解決してくれましたし、チップについてもしっかりいくら必要か事前に教えてくれてまとめて渡してくれるので助かりました。 日本人の観光客を心待ちにしているって言ってたので、ぜひRockyを指名してみてください！ Thank you Rocky! Keep walking! Don’t cry! Haha

Everything was perfect. Heba guide us and give us only the best attention before, during and after the travel. She was really professional and caring. Outstanding. The cruise was really beautiful and complete, with stunning views from the nile and visits to milenary temples. The only thing to improvevwas the attention of some members of the tripulation (specifically members of the dining rooms). They forzed to put you in a table with random people and they see you and act like a little bit too much rude.. The tour guide Mohhamed was very friendly and we learned a lot with him! And the balloon experience was really a dream. Also, thanks to the travel we made a lot of friends of all over the world. Really good memories that we will remember all our lives. Now our lifes are more complete. Thank you for everything. We are more than happy: we are living a dream that changed our souls forever.

At first we were skeptical about the cruise since there are minimal photos on the booking sites. Be aware these ships are outdated but it seems to grow on you and is a part of the overall experience. The staff is very accommodating and the daily food buffet is nicely done. Everything is fresh and no complaints with the service or food quality. For all the tours and balloon ride to be included in the cost of the cruise it is really a great value! The guides Rocky and Hatem made it a truly amazing experience. Both were very knowledgeable and kept us on track. Abu Simbel excursion is a lot in one day to only be at the site for about 45 minutes. It was unfortunate that we felt so rushed. It's important to leave at the earliest time possible as the guides recommend. For some reason we left 30 minutes late from the cruise that morning, and it affected how much time we were allowed to spend at the temple. We could have done without the oil/perfume sales demonstration on the way back to the boat but it seems this is a tour requirement. This is a great value and would do it all over again!

The cruise was by far the most amazing experience that we had this trip. The food on the boat is good but nothing to rave about. Be mindful it is a lot of early morning starts so you will need to take plenty of naps. But what really stood out was our tour guide Hany Soliman. If possible I would request to have him every time. He was by far the hardest working individual I have ever met. He was always eager to help in anyway possible from answering our questions to helping us after the trip was over with anything we needed. He was constantly walking around the cruise giving us updates on the next days itinerary. He was very knowledgeable about all the sites that we visited and happy to answer questions. He also made us feel very comfortable and looked out for in an area where we did not know the language or culture. He made the whole experience feel like I was traveling Egypt with a friend more than a tour guide. I can not recommend him enough and whenever I return to Egypt I would want him as my guide again!

Amazing Nile River Cruise experience. Since day one they were very responsive to all my questions prior to booking. They plan everything for you, all you have to do is show up. Our guide Khaled was amazing and very knowledgeable. The cruise experience was amazing, food was great and rooms were very nice. We visited about 8 temples between Aswan and Luxor and all of them had something special. I would recommend this company if you are planning to cruise the Nile River.

It was an amazing experience especially the guide Mohammed Wafa was awesome. Very knowledgeable and detailed. He went above and beyond to take care of our personal needs. Thanks

This cruise with tours was our highlight from vacation. The cruise in nile river was so nice plus our Guide Waled was the best. He has a lot of patient with his group. He helped us with things that we need and we appreciate him.

It was a great experience to cruise in the Nile River, the small boat rides and the hot air balloon experience were my favorite. Our tour guide Walid was amazing. He went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time with him. He had always a great attitude and a smile and even got electrical outlet adapters for us and took me to a Pharmacy to get medications since I forgot mine at the first hotel I stayed at. Highly recommended.

This tour with WALID was the best. He was so patient and always smiling. He is so smart and we learned a lot. The places where magical. I would recommend to keep this man in your company. I give 10 start if I could.

We were traveling with the boat Blue Shadow. It was clean, organized, the crew was prompt and professional. Food was just ok, the cabin was spacious but for two people. We were three, so we had not much comfort. From satellite TV we got only CNN. One minus was that the beds were too soft for us. Our guide Hossam Rashwan was excellent very knowledgeable, very willing and he loves his job. He is very enthusiastic with Egyptian history and wants to share his vast knowledge with us. Also very organized and professional. Best of choices !!
