We had great time on this cruise thanks to our awesome tour guide Walid. Walid was super knowledgeable about Ancient Egypt, friendly, and managed our whole itinerary effortlessly. At each historic site, he was an enthusiastic storyteller and guide, giving us a lot of info while keeping us engaged. When he grew up, he was inspired by the tourists and tour guides around Luxor, realized his dream was to be a tour guide, followed that dream and got a degree in hieroglyphics, and it really shows in his tours. Outside the sites, he constantly made us feel comfortable with his humor, keeping us supplied with snacks and water, and helping us avoid scams/harassment. Whenever we went somewhere, Walid was always greeted by a lot of other locals, so he was very familiar with all the sites. Finally, Walid took care of arranging all our boat rides, feluccas, horse carriages, and car transportation, so we didn't have to think twice. Everyone arrived promptly so there was almost no waiting around, and he introduced us to the drivers so we could get to know them. Once I was going to buy a falafel pita, but Walid offered to go buy it to make sure that I would get the local price instead of the tourist price. The cruise itself was more or less as expected. We were on the cruise ship Grand Sun, but we think the ship you get is more or less which ship leaves on the selected day, and they're all probably similar. The rooms were clean and had good bathrooms and air conditioning. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were provided by the boat and were buffet style. The breakfast omelette guy was amazing, but the cleanliness of the dish washing was questionable and all drinks were extra charge. There was a cool sundeck and swimming pool that we probably should have checked out more. Unfortunately there was no guest wifi, so we got by on a local vodafone sim which is pretty cheap. All in all, this package was a great value to see everything along the Nile and we would definitely recommend Walid as a guide (just ask for him)paulgbp

We are a couple from India and took the Nile cruise tour with Emo Tours from aswan to Luxor. We had a very nice experience with the guide and the entire tour was managed well. The guide Emad was experienced, articulate and very helpful. He made our experience memorable and hassle free. We had very informative discussions and bonded well throughout the trip. All the locations included in aswan , Kom ombo, Edfu and Luxor were incredible. The cruise operation was a bit delayed and the cruise boat is a bit old but the magical views along the Nile made us forget about all that. I would recommend this to others. One last advice plan for tips to the drivers, boatmen etc. ahead so that you don’t fall short of cash.ElJefeMitch

I recommend this tour and Waleed as the guide. The boat is top notch, the food is probably the worst part of it. It’s nice getting a private tour guide experience for this low of a price.

The tour guides really knew their stuff. Mustafa started the tour with us and covered everything but Luxor. He did a great job and really was a nice guy. Sameer worked with us in Luxor and was top notch. Very professional. Walid (the strongest man in Egypt) was our driver in Luxor and he was very cool. The ship was fine. Many of the Nile cruise ships are worn and a bit tired and the Miriam was no exception. The accommodations were clean enough and the food was nice. The staff was very helpful and made everything pleasant. I’d definitely recommend Emo Tours for your Nile cruise guides and any airport transfers.
