Me ha gustado mucho el barco y las comidas, la piscina arriba esta muy guay mientras te das un baño y navegas por el nilo. Una pena no haber podido aprovecharlo mas por el tema de los madrugones para las excursiones, que han sido intensas, pero hay que hacerlas si o si. Dar las gracias a nuestro guía Ashraf por ser tan buen tipo, por lo bien que habla español y por las explicaciones. Hemos ido bastante rápido pero muchos años de historia, resumidos en pocos minutos. Lo recomiendo Translate this opinion into English.

I really enjoyed the boat and the meals. The pool on board is very cool while you take a dip and sail along the Nile. It's a shame we couldn't take advantage of it more because of the early morning rush for the excursions, which were intense, but they must be done. Thanks to our guide, Ashraf, for being such a great guy, for his excellent Spanish, and for his explanations. We went quite quickly, but it captured many years of history in just a few minutes. I recommend it. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nel complesso la crociera con le visite è stata davvero molto piacevole e la consiglio. Gli aspetti negativi sono che spesso venivi quasi obbligato a prendere un calesse per spostarti, assolutamente NON apprezzato sia per l’insistenza di chi lo guida che chiedono mance ma in realtà decidono loro il prezzo in modo molto aggressivo e soprattutto per il terribile modo in cui sono trattati gli animali. Gli orari di partenza sono poco chiari e il drop off non è stato organizzato molto bene.

Overall, the sightseeing cruise was very enjoyable and I highly recommend it. The downsides are that you were often forced to take a carriage to get around, which was absolutely NOT appreciated, both because of the insistence of the drivers who ask for tips but actually aggressively set the price, and especially because of the terrible treatment of the animals. The departure times are unclear, and the drop-off was poorly organized.

Ci dispiace se qualche aspetto dell'organizzazione non ha soddisfatto le vostre aspettative. Siamo lieti che, nonostante ciò, abbiate apprezzato la visita.

El crucero de Aswan a Luxor te permite ver muchos templos en poco tiempo. No obstante, es un tanto intenso y debes madrugar en exceso. La tripulación es atenta y la comida correcta. El guía que nos tocó, Islam, fue genial en sus explicaciones y organización del grupo. Buena experiencia! Translate this opinion into English.

The cruise from Aswan to Luxor allows you to see many temples in a short time. However, it's a bit intense and you have to get up very early. The crew is attentive and the food is just right. Our guide, Islam, was brilliant in his explanations and group organization. Great experience! Opinion translated. Show original.

El planning del crucero es muy completo, pero sin duda recomendaría coger la versión “premium” ya que no me gustaría imaginar cómo sería la “estándar”. El personal son muy amables pero las instalaciones del crucero están algo descuidadas. Hay una actividad que hicimos al pensar que era incluida, y no fue así - la excursión al poblado nubio - y no lo recomendaría para nada por su precio elevado, entre otros factores.

The cruise plan is very comprehensive, but I would definitely recommend taking the "premium" option, as I'm hesitant to imagine what the "standard" option would be like. The staff is very friendly, but the cruise facilities are somewhat neglected. There was one activity we did that we thought was included, but it wasn't—the excursion to the Nubian village—and I wouldn't recommend it at all, due to its high price, among other factors.

No me pareció que tuviese una categoría superior al resto de barcos, por lo que considero debería avisarse o compensarnos al respecto. No fuimos a Abu Simbel para evitar madrugones al ir con niños, pero todos los días nos hacían levantar muy temprano, sin ser tan necesario. El guía correcto, pero costaba seguir su español y las explicaciones eran extensas, dejando muy poco tiempo para ver a nuestro aire. Se olvidaba de avisar con el plan establecido. Muchas visitas añadidas: alabastro, esencias… Translate this opinion into English.

I didn't think it was a higher category than the other boats, so I think we should have been warned or compensated for this. We didn't go to Abu Simbel to avoid having to get up early when traveling with children, but every day we were made to get up very early, which wasn't really necessary. The guide was decent, but his Spanish was hard to follow, and the explanations were lengthy, leaving very little time to explore independently. He often forgot to mention the planned tour. Many additional visits were added: alabaster, essences... Opinion translated. Show original.

Al llegar e ir a dar una ducha la bañera estaba atascada y salieron pelos. Lo arreglaron enseguida eso es verdad. Luego el dispositivo para cambiar a ducha manual se rompió. Lo arreglaron. Los altos teníamos que ducharnos de rodillas porque la altura no daba de sí. La comida hay que decir sabiendo dónde estás que era buena y los empleados se desviven por atenderte y hacer bien su trabajo. El guía Saladino es cañero pero hace muy bien su trabajo. El barco de nombre Casa Sol

When I arrived and went to shower, the bathtub was clogged and hairs came out. They fixed it right away, that's true. Then the device to change to a handheld shower broke. They fixed it. Those of us who were tall had to shower on our knees because the height wasn't adequate. The food, I must say, was good, and the staff went out of their way to serve you and do their job well. The guide, Saladino, is tough, but he does his job very well. The boat, named Casa Sol, is a bit of a challenge.

Hicimos un crucero por el Nilo desde Aswan hasta Luxor en Egipto con Islam Khattab como guía y hemos vuelto encantadas. El barco con todas las comodidades: camarotes amplios, cómodos y muy limpios. La comida rica, el personal amable y una piscina estupenda para relajarse después de ver las maravillas de Egipto. Muy recomendable también los masajes de Mena. Y qué decir de Islam? es un guía estupendo, sabe muchísimo, es tranquilo, agradable y habla un castellano perfecto. Muy recomendable Translate this opinion into English.

We took a Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, Egypt, with Islam Khattab as our guide and we're delighted with our trip. The boat had every comfort: spacious, comfortable, and very clean cabins. The food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and there was a wonderful pool to relax in after seeing the wonders of Egypt. Mena's massages are also highly recommended. And what can I say about Islam? He's a wonderful guide; he's incredibly knowledgeable, calm, pleasant, and speaks perfect Spanish. Highly recommended. Opinion translated. Show original.

Todo perfecto. El barco tiene muy nuevas habitaciones, y el personal es muy amable. La zona superior de la piscina con bar también geniales. Pensábamos que igual nos juntaban a todos los del barco en los mismos tour y sería agobiante, pero teníamos guías para pequeños grupos. Las excursiones están muy bien organizadas, y nuestro guía Alaa fue excepcional. Resaltar la comida. Ne puedo comer gluten, y el personal de cocina estaba atento en cada comida para indicarme qué podía comer. Translate this opinion into English.

Everything was perfect. The ship has very new rooms, and the staff is very friendly. The pool area above the bar is also great. We thought they might pack everyone from the ship together on the same tour and it would be overwhelming, but we had guides for small groups. The excursions are very well organized, and our guide Alaa was exceptional. The food is a special highlight. I can't eat gluten, and the kitchen staff was attentive at every meal to let me know what I could eat. Opinion translated. Show original.

Excelente experiencia a bordo del crucero! Recomiendo 100% realizarlo si piensan visitar templos egipcios y conocer su historia. El itinerario que fija el crucero me parece correcto para la cantidad de días empleados, ya que permite recorrer templos y a su vez otorga tiempo para poder relajarse en el crucero. En cuanto al guía Ahmed, nada más que agradecimiento y recomendación! Excelente guía, realmente apasionado por la historia egipcia y muy paciente para explicarnos todas nuestras dudas Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent experience aboard the cruise! I 100% recommend it if you plan to visit Egyptian temples and learn about their history. The cruise itinerary seems adequate for the number of days spent, allowing for temple visits while also allowing time to relax on the cruise.

Elegir el crucero en nivel superior ha sido todo un acierto. La motonave, el servicio y el guia Ahmed ha sido inmejorable. Ahmed nos ha encantado como guia, nos ha hecho el viaje super divertido y siempre ha estado dispuesto a enseñarnos de todo. Nos llevamos un amigo a España. Un 10 como guia!

Choosing the premium cruise was a great choice. The motorboat, the service, and the guide, Ahmed, were unbeatable. We loved Ahmed as a guide; he made the trip super fun and was always willing to teach us everything. We took a friend to Spain. A 10 for his guide! Opinion translated. Show original.

Cogimos el 5* superior lo recomendamos elijáis ese por la diferencia de precio Nos tocó el crucero Casa sol y muy bien, habitaciones amplias y limpias, la comida aunque no hay mucho elegir lo que hay está muy bueno , la piscina bien y el personal bien también. Tuvimos suerte y en nuestro grupo solo éramos 7 personas y en el crucero solo 19 íbamos casi solos ...pero fue en Julio y en plena guerra así que habían habido muchas bajas.Es una pasada lo recomendamos aunque parezca caro luego no lo es. Translate this opinion into English.

We took the 5* superior, we recommend you choose that one because of the price difference. We got the Casa Sol cruise and it was very good, spacious and clean rooms, the food although there is not much choice what there is is very good, the pool is good and the staff is good too. We were lucky and in our group there were only 7 people and on the cruise there were only 19, we were almost alone ... but it was in July and in the middle of the war so there had been many casualties. It is amazing, we recommend it even if it seems expensive when it is not. Opinion translated. Show original.

Al juntar varios grupos que llegaron en distintos medios y horarios el primer día no se pudo hacer la excursión programada y la realizamos el día siguiente, que teníamos varias lugares empezando el día 2 AM en Abu Simbel por ende con menos tiempo para recorrer nos llevaron a las corridas para llegar a cada punto de interés. Además de No poder llegar a Pueblo Nubio, que era una excursión opcional. barco era de los más sencillo, Casa del Sol, a pesar que habíamos contratado la categoría superior

Because several groups arrived by different means and at different times on the first day, the scheduled excursion couldn't be made, so we went on the next day. We had several destinations starting at 2 AM at Abu Simbel, so with less time to explore, we were rushed to each point of interest. Besides not being able to get to the Nubian Village, which was an optional excursion, the Casa del Sol boat was one of the simplest, even though we had booked the superior category.

Lo mejor de todo fue el Guía turístico, Islam, muy cálido y acogedor, muy buen dominio de la historia y la cultura local, muy muy recomendable, excelente. En cuanto al crucero, deben mejorar la ventilación del comedor, lamentablemente la ropa quedaba impregnada de olor a aceite. Optimizar también disponibilidad de bebidas alcohólicas. El resto, todo muy bien y cómodo, buen servicio. Felipe. Translate this opinion into English.

The best of all was the tour guide, Islam. He was very warm and welcoming, had a great understanding of local history and culture. Highly recommended, excellent. As for the cruise, they should improve the ventilation in the dining room; unfortunately, our clothes were impregnated with the smell of oil. They should also optimize the availability of alcoholic beverages. Everything else was very good and comfortable, with excellent service. Felipe. Opinion translated. Show original.

El primer día el crucero funcionó simplemente como un hotel, estuvo parado en el puerto y todas las excursiones fueron por tierra. Osea, de crucero fueron 2 días nada más, es muy engañoso decir que son 3. También hubo actividades que no estaban listadas en el itinerario y que me vi forzado a hacer igual. Como el museo de las esencias. Al que me vi obligado a ir después de 6 horas de viaje. Por que agregan actividades sin avisar? Encima en agendas tan cargadas.. Islam fue un excelente guía! Translate this opinion into English.

The first day, the cruise operated simply as a hotel, stopped at the port, and all the excursions were on land. In other words, the cruise was only two days; it's very misleading to say it's three. There were also activities not listed in the itinerary that I was forced to do anyway. Like the Essence Museum, which I was forced to go to after a six-hour trip. Why do they add activities without warning? Especially with such busy schedules... Islam was an excellent guide! Opinion translated. Show original.

En general buena experiencia. Poca comunicación con la hora de llegada. No está claro cuando debes llegar para hacer todas las actividades del primer día. La calidad del crucero no estaba a la altura del precio. Olor a gasoil, calor en las habitaciones.. El guía nos propuso una excursión adicional que no cumplió con las expectativas. Se nos dijo que haríamos un paseo por Luxor y terminó siendo un paseo en carro de caballo. El guía dió información básica sin profundizar.

Overall, a good experience. Lack of communication regarding arrival times. It's unclear when you should arrive to do all the activities on the first day. The quality of the cruise didn't match the price. The smell of diesel fuel, the rooms were hot... The guide suggested an additional excursion that didn't live up to expectations. We were told we'd be taking a tour of Luxor, but it ended up being a horse-drawn carriage ride. The guide provided basic information without going into detail.
