First I would like to say that I’ve found my guide ito be great and knowledgeable. However, this is NOT a 5 Star Cruise. However, I PAID a 5 Star price. Thus, I’m not happy. As of day two the schedule shared in not correct. I’ll update as the week goes on...

This is a relaxing way to see the amazing temples and tombs. Our guide was very informative and allowed us to see things at our pace.

Very good accommodations, excellent food, great guide. Very enjoyable. The 8 day tour is actually a 3 day tour down and 4 day tour up. Most people only go one way. The round trip is very relaxing. The tour was very good value.

Everything was perfect. The boat was excellent, 5 stars, and the food and service were very good. The cabin was superb and you would not know it was on a boat. The private guide was very knowledgeable and a great help to us. Everything about the cruise was most enjoyable.

You can easily see all the sights on a one way trip, but it will seem rushed. A Nile cruise from Aswan instead of Luxor is more relaxed especially if you include a trip to Abu Simbel. Aswan is a much prettier city and not quite as touristy. You will have plenty of time in Luxor. The MY Mirage 1 is a good boat and good value. Food is great, cabins are clean, staff is friendly and our guide was knowledgeable.

Absolute highlight of the trip and the best way to see Upper Egypt. The staff were so friendly and our guide was awesome, our favorite person we met in Egypt. So many great sights to see along the way, and cruising the Nile is really relaxing. Don't miss out on the dancing at the Nubian night, it's a riot!

Great value for money with meals, accommodation and tours all included. Really peaceful and relaxing cruising along the river away from the cities. The food was surprisingly good as well having been told the food in Egypt supposed to be terrible.
