After roughing it on a tour for a couple of weeks, this is a great way to see the remainder of Egypt's treasures. Our cabin was huge, with everything that you could wish for. Our Cabin boys were a hoot - making different creations from towels at each room service which is twice a day! The food buffet was very comprehensive although they are quite pedantic about sticking to times and seats. We used the pool. massage, billiards table, internet - be aware that everything comes with a cost.

Excellent guide - Halim Naeim Ghaly - very knowledgeable a sense of humour. Felucca ride was a real highlight. Cruise ship was well organised & everyone was friendly and helpful. I would have liked to have taken the longer trip - we took the 4 day.

I could not have asked for a better cruise. We travelled with our two kids, ages 10 and 4 and they had a fantastic time. Our personal guide was amazing. He really knew his stuff.The boat was clean, the rooms were comfy and the food was delicious. I Highly Recommend this cruise!

The cruise exceeded our expectations and the staff on the Mirage were excellent. The food was good with some delicious soups. We felt happy to eat everything and were absolutely fine. Our private guide was both charming and knowledgable. We learnt so much from him. The days were a good mix of culture and relaxation whilst watching life on the Nile. A fascinating trip.

I really enjoyed the cruise and the great guide, but having to pay for non-alcoholic drinks is not good customer service! Change that, and I would highly recommend Viator!

The cruise was a lot of fun, and the boat was very nice! The crew were helpful and our tour guide was very knowledgeable. Overall this trip was a very enjoyable experience, I wish we had done the 9 day cruise! The only thing I would change is to include non-alcoholic beverages in the package. I wouldn't mind paying a little more for that!

Review by: Matthew B, United States of America	June 2009
The whole trip was wonderful: the boat was classy, the food was good and plentiful, and the staff was excellent. I was pleasantly surprised to have a personal tour guide from start to finish for just my wife and I.

Food, accommodation and staff excellent. Time ashore on cruising day a bit too limited. Overall very happy.

Review by: Emily M, Canada	January 2009
Cruise was fantastic, really relaxing, great activities and a fun way to travel. Our guide made our trip! We loved her, she kept us on our toes, and had a great sense of humour. She was really kind and considerate of us and we learned a lot and saw some amazing sites. Definitely was the best part of our trip!!!

Review by: Lisbeth F, Netherlands	January 2009
An excellent way to experience the Nile and what it has to offer while sitting on top deck surveying the change of scenery, from farming, to fishing, palm trees and lush vegetation to historical sites. The boat trip was well worth our time. The food was excellent with a good variety and pleasant staff. Cabins clean and bright. We are normally independent travelers and this was a welcome change. The private guide was just OK, left us on our own quite a bit which was great as we do our own reading and exploring but for people who don't prepare themselves they would be missing a lot of history and explanations - which is not good. The different modes of transport should be looked at - using a mini bus for just 2 people is not economical or fuel efficient, especially when there were at least 3 different groups of either 2 or 3 people and each group used a different mini bus - not good. We enjoyed the over all experience and think 3 nights on the boat is definitely long enough.

This is the best way to see the upper Nile!

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	October 2008
It was terrific to have a private guide. Our guide was very attentive and took excellent care of us during the trip. We also had a good experience with the people from the local agency that Viator used for this who took care of meeting us before the cruise and taking us to the airport afterwards. We saw a lot and are glad we went.
