Buena experiencia para conocer los templos cercanos al río Nilo desde Asuán hasta Lúxor. La comida del barco estaba muy buena y variada. El personal muy amable y servicial. Lo malo es que todas las visitas a los templos se realizan en hora punta y coincide con todos los cruceros, por lo que hay muchísima gente y no los disfrutas igual. También habría que mejorar los picnics de desayuno, muy flojos. Por los horarios de las visitas solo pudimos desayunar en el barco un día (genial ese día). Translate this opinion into English.

A good experience to visit the temples near the Nile River from Aswan to Luxor. The food on the boat was very good and varied. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bad thing is that all the visits to the temples are during rush hour and coincide with all the cruises, so there are a lot of people and you don't enjoy them as much. The breakfast picnics should also be improved, they are very weak. Due to the schedule of the visits we were only able to have breakfast on the boat one day (great that day). Opinion translated.

El guía nos fastidió la experiencia, estuvo obsesionado con las propinas y nos quiso engañar para sacar más dinero en propinas. También hizo alguna trampa de llevarnos a sitios atrapaturistas para recoger comisión. No vino a Abu Simbel para no tener que madrigar y nos envió con guía amigo. Las horas de la visita a Karnak y Luxor fueron un despropósito, a las 15:00 horas y a 48 grados. Se puede gestionar mucho mejor.

The guide ruined our experience, he was obsessed with tips and tried to trick us to get more money in tips. He also cheated us by taking us to tourist trap sites to collect commission. He didn't come to Abu Simbel so he wouldn't have to go through the trouble and sent us with a friendly guide. The hours of the visit to Karnak and Luxor were a nonsense, at 3:00 pm and 48 degrees. It could be managed much better.

Considerando il periodo (agosto) estremamente caldo super apprezzata l’organizzazione da parte della nostra guida Walid che ha anticipato tutte le visite per evitare le ore più calde. Inoltre ottimo anche nelle spiegazioni. Camera pulita e davvero bella a bordo della crociera. Cibo buono. Consigliato vivamente

Bastante bien, muy completo, en el barco se pasa poco tiempo por las excursiones, pero la experiencia fue muy buena, excepto por el guía guía nos tocó, Mahmud, que se preocupaba poco por las explicaciones y se impacientaba los ratos (escasos) que daba para ver los templos por libre. Recomendable de todas maneras si es tu primera vez en egipto Translate this opinion into English.

Pretty good, very complete. You don't spend much time on the boat on the excursions, but the experience was very good, except for the guide we had, Mahmud, who didn't care much about the explanations and was impatient when he gave us the (scarce) time to see the temples on our own. Recommendable in any case if it's your first time in Egypt. Opinion translated. Show original.

El crucero fué muy bien, el servicio a bordo, la comida de muy buena calidad. Las excursiones estuvierorn muy bien también y nuestro guia Ahmed fué excepcional. El único punto un poco decepcionante pero que no tiene que ver con Civitatis es que las expectativas son estar en tu camarote con vistas al Nilo y en el momento de atracar en puerto se colocan lado a lado con otros barcos con lo que de 3 noches 2 tuvimos vistas a un barco a 1 metro de distancia Translate this opinion into English.

The cruise went very well, the service on board, the food of very good quality. The excursions were very good too and our guide Ahmed was exceptional. The only point that is a little disappointing but has nothing to do with Civitatis is that the expectations are to be in your cabin with views of the Nile and when docking in port they are placed side by side with other ships, making 3 nights 2 we had views of a boat 1 meter away Opinion translated.

El crucero por el Nilo ha sido maravilloso. Hemos visto todo que esperamos ver. Ahmed es un guia excelente. Preciso y conciso en sus explicaciones.

La experiencia fue de 10 gracias a nuestro guía Ahmed, majísimo y muy atento al grupo en todo momento. Habla perfectamente español y se nota que es historiador y egiptólogo, porque cualquier duda que teníamos sobre el Antiguo Egipto, nos la explicaba en detalle. El crucero también estuvo muy bien. Buen servicio, buena comida y bien equipado, aunque he de decir que lo peor fue que nuestra habitación estaba pegada al motor y hacía mucho ruido.

The experience was a 10 thanks to our guide Ahmed, very nice and very attentive to the group at all times. He speaks perfect Spanish and it is clear that he is a historian and Egyptologist, because any questions we had about Ancient Egypt, he explained to us in detail. The cruise was also very good. Good service, good food and well equipped, although I have to say that the worst thing was that our room was attached to the engine and made a lot of noise.

Ahmed fue un súper anfitrión desde nuestra llegada al barco Alexander the Great. Un barco espectacular, con muy buena comida y servicio.

Cruzeiro muito agradável, apesar de já estar bastante calor para actividades exteriores. As condições do barco atribuído (Concerto I) eram excelentes e todo o pessoal muito simpático, prestável e profissional. O guia de língua Portuguesa foi de enorme profissionalismo e atenciosidade e quem vier a conhecer o Sr. Ahmed Gamal vai certamente gostar do seu trabalho e do seu sentido de humor, não menosprezando os seus imensos conhecimentos em Egiptologia. Um grande bem haja para ele em particular!

Muy bien el Tour. El Servicio es Excelente. La comida. Pero sobretodo las Excursiones. No hubiera entendido Egypto sin este servicio. Porque llendo por tu cuenta, estas expuesto a pagar de más y no recibir las indicaciones y los precios justos de cualquier forma debes estar atento a todo Translate this opinion into English.

The Tour was very good. The Service is Excellent. Food. But especially the Excursions. I would not have understood Egypto without this service.

It was an unforgettable experience, providing a unique and rich insight into Egyptian history and culture. The Nile cruise exceeded all my expectations. Sailing this legendary river was fascinating, with stunning views of ancient temples, picturesque villages, and lush green banks. Our guide, Ahmad Gamal, was exceptional. His knowledge and passion made the trip educational and engaging. Ahmad's hospitality and dedication to tourists were admirable. I highly recommend this Nile cruise.

Fuimos en el barco Alexander the Great con nuestra hija de 2 años. El barco estaba muy bien, con una piscina ideal, excelente limpieza y habitaciones amplias aunque no muy modernas. La comida y el servicio eran excelentes. La pega es que el tiempo de navegación es corto, y con un niño pequeño, levantarse entre las 2 y las 5 es complicado (aunque eso ya se sabe antes de ir). Hacíamos excursiones con un grupo de otro barco, lo que nos obligaba a levantarnos antes y resultaba algo incómodo. Translate this opinion into English.

We went on the Alexander the Great boat with our 2 year old daughter. The boat was very good, with an ideal pool, excellent cleanliness and spacious but not very modern rooms. The food and service were excellent. The downside is that the sailing time is short, and with a small child, getting up between 2 and 5 is complicated (although you already know that before going). We were on excursions with a group from another boat, which forced us to get up earlier and was somewhat uncomfortable. Opinion translated. Show original.

Crociera 5* superior fantastica, camere pulite ed ottimi pasti. Tutto organizzato alla perfezione grazie all’eccezionale guida italiana Waleed che ci ha seguito durante tutta la crociera e ci ha permesso di recuperare anche un’escursione persa a causa di un ritardo del volo. Viaggio fantastico.

Excelente servicio en el barco Prince Omar. Viaje con mi hija pequeña y la tripulación se prepcupo en atendernos de la mejor manera todo el tiempo, la acomodación y comidas buffete variadas junto con las actividades y entradas incluidas superan las expectativas. Nuestro guia Nubi es de 5 estrellas, lo único que sugeriría es que el primer día se haga alguna actividad con la gente que arriba en la tarde, tuvimos que esperar al día 2 para iniciar porque una parte del grupo llegó en la noche. Translate this opinion into English.

Excellent service on the Prince Omar ship. I traveled with my little daughter and the crew took care to serve us in the best way at all times, the accommodation and varied buffet meals along with the activities and tickets included exceed expectations. Our guide Nubi is 5 stars, the only thing he would suggest is that on the first day you do some activity with the people who arrived in the afternoon, we had to wait until day 2 to start because part of the group arrived at night.

Ayant lu pas mal d'avis négatifs, j'ai longuement hésité à réserver avec CIVITATIS. Heureusement une connaissance a réaliser cette croisière et en a dit du bien. Nous avons réalisé toute les visites proposées, parfois un peu rapide, mais nous avons pu le dire au guide et avons plus pris notre temps. Il s'agit d'une croisière, donc le temps est parfois compté, pas le temps de vagabonder. Par contre nous avons du rajouter un supplément pour avoir une deuxième chambre double! Les visites sont TOP Translate this opinion into English.

Having read a lot of negative reviews, I hesitated for a long time to book with CIVITATIS. Fortunately an acquaintance took this cruise and said good things about it. We completed all the proposed visits, sometimes a little quickly, but we were able to tell the guide and took our time. This is a cruise, so time is sometimes short, no time to wander. On the other hand, we had to add a supplement to have a second double room! The visits are TOP Opinion translated. Show original.

Elegimos el crucero 5* superior sin Abu Simbel ya que ya habiamos estado. Tuvimos la suerte de ir en el barco Alexander the Great. La comida del buffet era muy buena y, las instalaciones estaban bien conservadas. Nuestro guia fue Ibrahim quien nos explico con mucho detalle todos los templos y lugares que visitamos. Las visitas con Ibrahim y el grupo eran muy divertidas, nos reimos mucho. Tambien nos ayudo en todo lo que le pedimos (regatear, traslados…). La experiencia fue inolvidable, repetiria Translate this opinion into English.

We chose the 5* superior cruise without Abu Simbel since we had already been. We were lucky enough to go on the ship Alexander the Great. The buffet food was very good and the facilities were well maintained. Our guide was Ibrahim who explained to us in great detail all the temples and places we visited. The visits with Ibrahim and the group were very fun, we laughed a lot. He also helped us with everything we asked for (haggling, transfers...). The experience was unforgettable, I would repeat Opinion translated. Show original.

Lo mejor de todo fue el grupo que hicimos en el crucero y nuestro guía Aladino que nos lo explicó todo y cuidó de nosotros todo el viaje. El barco Costa Sol estaba muy bien, pero nos hicieron dejar la habitación el último día a las 5:30 de la mañana, por lo que no pudimos ducharnos a volver de la excursión. El crucero es una buena manera de ver muchas cosas en poco tiempo, pero es muy cansado ya que te levantan de madrugada cada día. Translate this opinion into English.

The best of all was the group we took on the cruise and our guide Aladino who explained everything to us and took care of us the entire trip. The Costa Sol boat was very good, but they made us leave the room on the last day at 5:30 in the morning, so we couldn't shower when we returned from the excursion. The cruise is a good way to see a lot of things in a short time, but it is very tiring since you get up early every day. Opinion translated. Show original.
