Our 8 day/7 night Pyramids and Nile Cruise with Reflections Travel was so well planned and exceeded all expectations. We were met at all airports and the hotels in Cairo were excellent. We always had a driver with our guide which made it so much easier to converse. The cruise on the Nile was on the Monte Carlo where service and food were plentiful. Worth noting, drinks were extra and the ship lacks USB ports, if that is important to you for charging your devices. We were in constanta communication with WhatsApp. Our guide in Cairo, Maior (I believe), did a great job taking us to the pyramids, museum and Coptic area. It was a full day, but we covered the main attractions with enough time at each. Abdo, our Nile cruise guide was absolutely amazing with excellent English. His knowledge of Egyptian history was incredible and his enthusiasm for sharing was infectious. He hit all the high points at each site plus more. We were given ample time to explore on our own if we wanted. He also answered all our questions and gave us insight into Egypt’s relationship with its neighbors. Very enlightening. And for those who are questioning whether Egypt is a safe place to be during these troubling times, let me just say that we always felt safe. Don’t pass this up.

The Pyramids at Giza were incredible. The temple Deir El Bahri, built for Queen/Pharoah Hatseptsut, was a must see! The Nile cruise was fascinating and our private guide, Abdo, was incredibly knowledgeable. Our trip to the Nubian village, which was an additional cost option, was well worth the money. The Nubian village was the only place that we saw Nile crocodiles. Two things to be aware of regarding the Nile cruise ship, ours did not have USB and Wi-Fi was not free. People in America should all experience travelling by car in Cairo as well as Luxor and Aswan, where traffic lanes are only a suggestion and honking is constant. The history, sites, and culture of the Egyptian people are worth travelling to Egypt.

If you’d like to experience the highlights of Egypt, with great guides, reliable transportation, and quality accommodation, then this is for you! Having decided to take a trip to Egypt, I had undertaken extensive research before deciding on Reflections travel. Ali tailored the tour according to my preferences and I must say he did a fantastic job in choosing the right accommodation, cruise, and fantastic guides (Sam, Roshdy) who had excellent command of English for my private tour. He (Ali) was always available to communicate via messaging for smoothing out a few issues that had come up unexpectedly during the trip, and also made the time to meet face to face at one point to check in and make sure all was well which I appreciated. I’ll point out a few highlights of this trip: Upon arrival in Cairo, a representative was waiting for me as I stepped off the plane and assisted with the process through immigration/customs all the way to getting a SIM card and meeting my private driver. This was beyond expectations and made the arrival process frictionless. The Luxor-Aswan portion of the journey was really nice and relaxing. The Nile cruise Ali had selected was truly 5* and deluxe: clean, comfortable, and the service by the friendly cruise staff was faultless. My tour guide for this leg of the journey was Roshdy - he is so knowledgeable, helpful, personable, and informative, a true gem! Roshdy put in the effort to ensure I was comfortable and checked in to ensure his customer was satisfied. Clearly he is an experienced guide who is motivated in his role and always brought a positive attitude - for example when I needed something from a store, he made sure we took a detour so I would have access to what I needed. He was also knowledgeable about the sites and helped to take some really good pictures! I must also mention the drivers - I was floored by the drivers in Luxor and Aswan who were incredibly professional with very well maintained vehicles - with whom I always felt safe with on the roads (very important with the amount of time spent on the roads)!

As a family (2 adults, 2 children), we participated in an 8-day Cairo, Luxor and Aswan cruise from Cairo through the Get Your Guide website. We would like to thank Zeinab for her excellent and dedicated work. We could reach her at any time when we encountered problems and she solved our problems. He informed us of about next day trips and the trips were well planned. Our tour guide in Cairo, Mahmoud, is also a great guide. He was kind, knowledgeable, and worked hard to ensure we had a good time. We thank him very much too and strongly recommended him who would like to visit Cairo. We will comment again later about Luxor and other days of the trip.

The tour guides for this trip are excellent. Sam in Cairo and Barry for the Aswan to Luxor cruise are knowledgeable and helpful, going above and beyond. Truly wonderful experience with the individual tours. But be advised that this is really three tours patched together- Cairo, then the Nile cruise, then Cairo again. I found Reflections poor at communicating the logistics, and they even changed one of my travel options without telling me. The individual tours are operators are 5 star, but the poor organisation and communication from the central office tarnished an otherwise wonderful experience

It was a wonderful experience visiting Egypt with reflections travel. My tour guides throughout the trip were Sam in Cairo, Ahmed in Aswan, and Sayed in Luxor. All of these folks were very kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about Egypt’s history. They always made themselves available for any need I had and I’m grateful for how easy and comfortable they made the trip. I learned so much at each stop and truly got to experience the magic that Egypt has to offer. The tour company also provided around the clock support and were able to address any questions I had.

Sam, our tour guide, was most knowledgeable about all things ancient Egypt. We went on a tour 2 days prior with another guide but learned so much more with Sam. My husband is a huge enthusiast of ancient Egypt and has studied and read many book regarding the history of Egypt. He KNOWS a lot!! Sam has to be on his toes and he was. He was able to answer all of his many questions along the tour and taught him many things he did not know about Egypt. We toured the pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Hanging Church, saw the hiding place of Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the Egyptian Museum. We also had a wonderful lunch included in the tour. Also our driver was excellent. We enjoyed our time with Sam so much so, we will book another tour with him next week to see Old Cairo when we return to Giza after our cruise😀👍🏽🙌🏽

Roshdy was our guide for 5 days/4 nights Nile River cruise with a private guide. He was very good, spoke very good English and very knowledgeable in Egyptian history. It’s amazing how he could keep facts of all those gods straight. He always made sure we were comfortable and gave informations in advance, so we could plan out a day. We toured 3 places that were included in the package with another tour group a day before. So, Roshdy took us to different sites, including Dandara. Habu Temple/ Deir El- Medina which were all very nice. Of course, we needed to pay extra for these tours, but they were worth it. Another must see place is Nobula Village. Don’t miss out this one. Inhabitants are descendants of migrants from Africa and Sudan. Their houses are very colorful and it takes about 20 mins boat ride with nice scenery. He also arranged a transportation for us from the cruise ship to the airport. Thank you Roshdy for a wonderful experience. The ship was old , but clean. Food was good. Staffs were all very friendly,

Hasan was a wonderful tour guide for our short day trip in Luxor! We knew we wanted to see as much as possible during our time there and Hasan made sure we didn’t miss a beat! He was so knowledgeable and kind and made sure we avoided lines when possible! He helped us get the best pictures for memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime! Thank you, Hasan!

We spent a great week with our guide Roshdy, the explanations, the conviviality and everything else was at the top! He explained to us everything we needed to know and then gave us free time to explore the place ourselves. The cruise was great!

Great stay, thanks to our guide who made the visits pleasant and very interesting! It presents us with the history of each temple, and then allows us to discover for ourselves, which makes visits really pleasant! A big big big big thank you for his kindness!!

Sam was our first guide on our Egyptian experience. The first on our itinerary was the Great Pyramids, and Sam showed us how knowledgeable he was. He was very patient and gave us opportunities to make our experience memorable, such as taking us to get a camel ride and getting the perfect photos. He took is to see the Sphinx, had us experience the local Egyptian food, visit the Coptic church, and finally the Egyptian Museum. It was a long day, and Sam did his job. We'd like to add that later toward the end of our trip (i.e. after doing the Nike Cruise, seeing Aswan, etc.) we ended up back in Cairo and had problems with our flight home. We contacted Sam, and he offered his assistance if we needed it. Although we did not need him, that made us feel secure in knowing we had someone who could help us and speak the language. Thanks Sam!

After leaving Cairo my husband and I continued on to Aswan to join our Nile Cruise to Luxor. We had a wonderful time. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. Great food and service. Our guide was Roshdy and he really made our trip. He was warm and friendly with a great sense of humour. Most importantly however he was at all times efficient and professional. In fact he went over and beyond to ensure our comfort providing water - the heat was brutal! - and ensuring shade. His English was excellent and his knowledge of ancient Egypt and culture outstanding. He accompanied us into the temples etc while I noticed other guides often just gave an overview and left their clients to wander by themselves. Thank you Roshdy 😊 I would also like to mention one of our drivers Mustafa. He drove us several times and I would like to thank him for his safe and careful driving which in Egypt can be challenging!! Thank you Mustafa.

We recently embarked on an incredible 5-day, 4-night cruise along the majestic Nile River from Assouan to Luxor, and the experience exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we set sail, we were captivated by the stunning landscapes, historical treasures, and the seamless organization of guided visits. The cruise continued as we sailed past picturesque villages and lush greenery. Stops at iconic sites like the Kings Valley, where ancient pharaohs found their eternal resting place, and the Temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el Bahari, a breathtaking architectural masterpiece, allowed us to immerse ourselves in Egypt's rich history. We had the pleasure to have Rushdy as a guide on our cruise. The guided visit to the Temple of Philae was a true highlight; its intricate carvings and rich history left me in awe. The cruise ship itself was comfortable and well-equipped, offering a luxurious retreat after each day's adventures. Our knowledgeable guide on board provided insightful narratives that brought each site to life, deepening our appreciation for the cultural and historical significance of each stop. In the evenings, we enjoyed leisurely strolls on the ship's deck, watching the sun set over the Nile's tranquil waters. As the cruise neared its end in Luxor, we couldn't help but feel a mix of gratitude and sadness. The experience had been nothing short of extraordinary, allowing us to witness the wonders of Egypt's past while enjoying modern comforts. From the impeccable service to the enriching excursions, this cruise was a journey of a lifetime that we’ll cherish forever.

We were very happy with the entire trip and itinerary. Service was great and we would recommend to all.

Perfect organization, very good english for the explanations, even for the kids. We recommend Roshdy, we had a good time.

My husband and I had a wonderful time exploring Egypt, both land and sea. We tried different types of tours including a dive live-aboard, Nile Cruise, having only a driver and exploring sights on our own and having a private guide. I would highly recommend having a private guide if you are doing a Nile Cruise and/or exploring Egypt by land. Our guide, Roshdy Khodary, was a wonderful private guide. He took care of everything and he took care of us. We learned so much. He is extremely knowledgeable in Egyptian history. He provided great advice for navigating bazaars and helped us with special requests. When we return to dive in the North Red Sea and explore Egypt some more, we will definitely be asking Roshdy Khodary to be our guide again.

Our experience in this 8 day 7 night Nile cruise was magnificent. Much was owed to the staff and crew of the Steigenberger Legacy who made us feel at home at all times. The cabin was comfortable and practical, the breakfast, lunch and dinner of impeccable quality and overall, we were pampered at all times and throughout the ship. We were actually sad to leave when the cruise came to an end!

Truly amazing tour on the Nile cruise and Pyramids! Sam, our Guide in Cairo was very enthusiastic and full of knowledge about the land of Pharaohs. Sam gave us an excellent tour of the pyramids, Egyptian museum and Coptic market. Aswan, Efu, Kon Ombo and Luxor heritage sites were brilliant. Through various “Guides” for these different places we experienced the Egyptian hospitality. All in all, great experience.

What a wonderful experience. We went with Classic Holidays and they treated us royally. There was a problem initially with the boat so we stayed for four nights in the Steinburger Achi hotel in Luxor which was fantastic. it was a perfect starting point for all the lovely tips we went on. Then we flew from Luxr to cairo for three days taking in the sphinx, pyramids ad Cairo museum. Our guides - Sammeh ad Sunny were so well informed and made the trip exceptional. Could not recommend it more highly
