The tour was amazing, thanks to the hilarious, super friendly and thoughtful Hady as the tour guide! Lots of people will warn you about Egypt as being full of hasslers and scammers but along the way Hady gave us advance notice of where to expect these and how to navigate through them with ease and understanding. He was also able to give us a human side to Egyptians’ dire situation so that you can understand it with humility. He was protective of us and ensured everyone was safe and taken care of. He had an immense knowledge of all there is Egypt and the ancient civilization so if you’re looking for a deeper understanding in minute details, then Hady is your guy! There are lots of places to see in a short period of time so brace yourself for it. As for the staff members on the MS Princess Sara, they’re super nice and friendly. However, they can be overwhelming with compliments and trying to accommodate you so you tip them well. But it can be borderline smothering and uncomfortable. They need to take it a few notches down. Balloon ride was great and super smooth. Definitely recommend it, especially for the price.travelsparrow1234

We had the best time on our tour with Hady in Egypt. He is such a great story teller with exceptional knowledge to inform you of each temple. He helped navigate and sort out all our concerns. We would definitely book a tour with Hady again.

We booked this trip after reading the amazing reviews about Hady and we are so happy we did :) I see why he is highly recommended. He is honestly the best tour guide we have ever had and could ask for! Hady was very knowledgeable on Egyptian history and had so much information to share. He made sure we were safe and well looked after on the boat and at the temples. He had so many stories and jokes and made our whole group laugh all the time and really brought us all together! We will never forget him and all the memories we made together. Thank you Hady we love you!!!307trishuls

Great story teller, genuine and hilarious. Cruise was great too. Hady helped make sure we were comfortable in every way. Food on cruise could be slightly better with more local food options.Cristina_Starr

We had the pleasure to have Hady as our tour guide. He used to be an archaeologist in some of the sites and has been a tour guide for more than 10 years which made me feel very honoured to have him as our guide. He was very knowledgeable about Egyptian ancient history and he was able to answer all our questions about the entire history and present of Egypt. He also went above and beyond to help us and to make our trip as comfortable as possible. He gave us advice on how to tip in Egypt, which is something we're not familiar with. He explained how much and when to tip in the cruise (always giving a suggested range so that we could ultimately tip the amount what we were comfortable with) and collected some money from everyone at the beginning of the trip to deal with the tips for all the transportations during the cruise so that we didn't have to worry about it. The amounts he suggested were very reasonable, which made me realise that I was misled in Giza by our guide when we asked about tipping as the amount our Guiza tour guide shared were significantly much higher. When in the markets, he'd tell the shopkeepers off if they were trying to inflate the price for us, so it made me feel that he genuinely cared for us throughout our stay and not just during the excursions. In addition, a few of us arrived late because the train was severely delayed so we missed the first excursion but he took us there later that day to ensure we didn't miss anything. In a nutshell, he's extremely knowledgeable, has been in the industry for many years, will help you with everything you need and more, so I would strongly recommend that you request him as your tour guide when booking the cruise. If I come back to Egypt, I would surely love for him to be our tour guide. Thank you Hady, you surely made our cruise experience 100% better!310wardn

If you are looking for a tour guide to take you through Egypt, Hady is definitely your guy! Hady really took care of us during the cruise and excursions. Compared with the other tour guides we had since we are traveling through Egypt he is by far the best. He made us feel comfortable the whole time, gave us advice, bought our entrance tickets in advance and arranged all tips so we didn’t had to worry about anything. He is a great storyteller and always gave us a clear and entertaining explanation on all temples and tombs. The itinerary itself is very busy, but really nice! Would book this tour again!
