Ahmed nuestro guía genial , fue justo en sus explicaciones , todo estuvo excelente , comida transfer , excursiones. Recomendó hacer la del pueblo nubio así conoces a la gente que habita Asuán. La gente del crucero muy servicial . Vale el costo del tour. Translate this opinion into English.

Ahmed, our fantastic guide, was spot-on in his explanations. Everything was excellent: the food, the transfers, the excursions. He recommended the Nubian village tour so you can meet the people who live in Aswan. The cruise ship staff were very helpful. The tour was well worth the price. Opinion translated. Show original.

Il programma proposto è stato rispettato, le attività culturali di visita ai siti archeologici sono state valide, la nostra guida è stata accurata seppur non si è sprecata sul fornire molti dettagli e curiosità relative ai siti di interesse. Le attività invece all’interno della nave (serate, welcome party ecc) si sono rivelate di bassa qualità. Le cabine e il cibo della nave erano invece molto buone.

The proposed program was followed, the cultural activities visiting the archaeological sites were valid, our guide was accurate although she did not go out of her way to provide many details and curiosities related to the sites of interest. The activities on board (evenings, welcome party, etc.) turned out to be of low quality. The cabins and the food on the ship, however, were very good.

Hemos disfrutado la visita a los templos y lugares más emblemáticos del antiguo Egipto, pero nos parece que la cantidad de visitas en un mismo día y el ritmo acelerado para poder llegar a todo, es excesivo. Nuestro guía daba explicaciones superficiales y confusas, parecía tener prisa por acabar y no le gustaban las preguntas. El barco tiene un buen servicio y las instalaciones son correctas, limpias y cómodas. Las bebidas no están incluidas, ni siquiera el agua, y las cobran muy caras.

We enjoyed visiting the temples and most emblematic sites of ancient Egypt, but we felt that the number of visits in a single day and the rushed pace to see everything was excessive. Our guide gave superficial and confusing explanations, seemed to be in a hurry to finish, and didn't like questions. The boat has good service, and the facilities are adequate, clean, and comfortable. Drinks are not included, not even water, and they are very expensive.

Lamentamos que la actitud del guía no haya estado a la altura de lo esperado. Nuestro objetivo es que todos los participantes se sientan bien recibidos y disfruten de una experiencia cercana y profesional. Agradecemos tu comentario, que tendremos en cuenta para seguir mejorando el trato ofrecido. Translate this opinion into English.

El guía muy profesional y amable nos ha llevado a revivir la experiencia milenaria de la cultura egipcia en sus lugares más representativos e importantes. Un barco que no cumplió las expectativas de calidad 5 estrellas. Una comida regular abordo aunque la calidez y amabilidad del personal ayudaban a sobrellevarlo. Hay que prepararse para caminar mucho y madrugar aunque los paisajes y los monumentos que vemos merecen la pena Translate this opinion into English.

The very professional and friendly guide took us on a journey through the ancient Egyptian culture, visiting its most iconic and important sites. The ship itself didn't quite live up to our five-star expectations. The food on board was just okay, although the warmth and friendliness of the staff made it bearable. Be prepared for a lot of walking and early mornings, but the landscapes and monuments you'll see are well worth it. Opinion translated. Show original.

El barco y el camarote súper bien, la comida excelente aunque las cantidades eran demasiado y se desperdiciaba comida. Las visitas mal, apenas 30 minutos (con suerte) para ver algo y las explicaciones cortas porque íbamos corriendo do q todas partes. Translate this opinion into English.

The boat and the cabin were great, the food was excellent although the portions were too much and food was wasted. The visits were bad, barely 30 minutes (if lucky) to see something and the explanations were short because we were rushing everywhere. Opinion translated. Show original.

Muy bien organizado todo. El barco bastante viejo, pero limpio y el muy buen servicio por parte de la tripulación. La pega: nuestro guía, aparte de que hablaba regular, no fue capaz de conectar con el grupo, era bastante pasota y, cuando el resto de guías seguían dando explicación, este nos dejaba “tiempo libre” sin habernos contado ni la mitad de lo q les cintaban al resto de grupos. Aparte de esto, nada q ver con Civitatis, es que todo los templos están muy masificados y llega a ser agobiante.

Everything was very well organized. The boat was quite old, but clean, and the crew provided excellent service. The only downside: our guide, besides not speaking very well, wasn't able to connect with the group. He was quite indifferent, and while the other guides continued explaining, he would give us "free time" without having told us even half of what he was telling the other groups. Aside from that, it's nothing like Civitatis; all the temples are very crowded and it can be overwhelming.

Fiquei no Princess Sarah. Cruzeiro com excelentes instalações e boa comida. Tudo incluído, exceto bebidas e Wi‑Fi. Achei a falta de internet decepcionante, porque tínhamos que pagar 150 libras (2,5€) por telemóvel por dia para ter internet, sendo que só estava disponível na recepção e no bar, portanto nem podíamos desfrutar desta na piscina ou nos quartos. Inscrevi-me para tours em português e houve um dia em que ficámos numa tour espanhola. As tours às vezes implicavam acordar muito cedo. Translate this opinion into English.

I stayed on the Princess Sarah. The cruise ship had excellent facilities and good food. Everything was included except drinks and Wi-Fi. I found the lack of internet disappointing because we had to pay £150 (€2.50) per mobile phone per day to have internet, and it was only available at reception and in the bar, so we couldn't even use it by the pool or in the rooms. I signed up for tours in Portuguese, and one day we were on a Spanish-language tour. The tours sometimes involved waking up very early. Opinion translated. Show original.

Me ha encantado toda la experiencia al completo. En el crucero, la habitación era amplia, las camas muy comodas y el baño correcto. El servicio que era muy amable y educado y la limpieza perfecta, y la zona de la piscina muy limpia y ordenada. Y con el guia... No nos podrian haber dado un guia mejor, Atef Salah. Nos explicaba todo a la perfeccion, nos resolvia todas las dudas, nos hizo que las excursiones fuesen super divertidas y tenia trucos para ver todo con menos agobio. Un 10 para Atef!! :) Translate this opinion into English.

I absolutely loved the entire experience. On the cruise, the cabin was spacious, the beds very comfortable, and the bathroom was fine. The service was very friendly and polite, the cleanliness was impeccable, and the pool area was very clean and tidy. And the guide... We couldn't have asked for a better guide, Atef Salah. He explained everything perfectly, answered all our questions, made the excursions super fun, and had tips for seeing everything without feeling overwhelmed. A 10 out of 10 for Atef!! :) Opinion translated. Show original.

El barco estaba muy bien, buena habitación con ventanal grande para vistas y buenas instalaciones.. Buena tripulación. La comida era básica y repetitiva, nada del otro mundo. Nuestro guía Mohamed era un poco parco en palabras explicando lo justo y sin mucho contexto . Cuando nos dejaba tiempo libre(lo cual está muy bien) me ponía una audioguia para entender mejor todo.. los guías deberían hablar un poco mejor español. En general ha sido buena experiencia pero hay cosas que mejorar.

The boat was very nice, good room with a large window for views and good facilities. Good crew. The food was basic and repetitive, nothing special. Our guide, Mohamed, was rather terse, explaining only the bare minimum without much context. When he gave us free time (which was great), he put on an audio guide to help me understand everything better. The guides should speak Spanish a little better. Overall, it was a good experience, but there are things that could be improved.

Esperienza indimenticabile. La nave era ben tenuta e lo staff attento e gentile. Si visitano alcuni dei luoghi più affascinanti dell’intero Egitto e la crociera è il modo migliore per farlo. A farci da guida c’era Nubi, una guida impeccabile, quasi un amico. Preparatissimo e appassionato, con un italiano perfetto. Translate this opinion into English.

An unforgettable experience. The ship was well-maintained, and the staff was attentive and friendly. You get to see some of Egypt's most fascinating places, and a cruise is the best way to do it.

L'esperienza nel complesso è stata molto positiva. Il cibo era vario e soddisfava tutte le esigenze. Le escursioni son state tutte molto belle e interessanti. La guida Mohamed parla bene italiano ed è molto preparata e disponibile. Da migliorare la quantità di tempo disponibile per visitare autonomamente I vari siti (troppo ridotto). Inoltre molto tempo era dedicato alla visita di negozi (profumerie, alabastro e spezie) che superavano il tempo dedicato alle varie escursioni. Translate this opinion into English.

The overall experience was very positive. The food was varied and met all needs. The excursions were all very beautiful and interesting. Our guide, Mohamed, speaks good Italian and is very knowledgeable and helpful. The amount of time available for independent visits to the various sites could be improved (it was too limited). Furthermore, a lot of time was spent visiting shops (perfume shops, alabaster shops, and spices shops), which exceeded the time allocated to the various excursions. Opinion translated.

Esperienza molto interessante ma da considerare che e' molto faticosa a causa delle sveglie all'alba e in piena notte (all'1.30 per andare ad Abu Simbel) quindi non adatta a tutti. Molto carina l'escursione facoltativa al villaggio Nubiano. La guida non troppo esaustiva e a volte con qualche difficoltà con la lingua italiana. Translate this opinion into English.

A very interesting experience, but it's worth considering that it's quite tiring due to the early-morning wake-up calls and late-night wake-ups (1:30 AM to go to Abu Simbel), so it's not suitable for everyone. The optional excursion to the Nubian village is very nice. The guide isn't very comprehensive, and sometimes the Italian language is a bit difficult. Opinion translated. Show original.

Bellissima esperienza ! Posti fantastici e anche la nave niente male! Si ha la possibilità di fare molto gruppo con le persone della propria nazionalità. Preparatevi alle levatacce(del resto i templi all’alba hanno tutt’altro fascino)… ma consigliatissimo !!! Translate this opinion into English.

Amazing experience! Fantastic places, and the ship was great too! You'll have the opportunity to spend time with people of your own nationality. Be prepared to get up early (after all, the temples at dawn have a whole other charm)... but highly recommended! Opinion translated. Show original.

Esperienza spettacolare. Anche se la sveglia è al mattino presto, ne vale davvero la pena. Il prezzo è ottimo per la nave in cui abbiamo navigato. Cibo ottimo, stanza pulita e staff molto cordiale e disponibile. Tutto ciò che è presente nella descrizione rispecchia perfettamente quella che è la crociera. Organizzazione perfetta. Grandissima la nostra guida Amr, super simpatico a cui faccio i miei complimenti. Consiglio vivamente!!! Sconsiglio il giro in carrozza, poveri cavalli! Translate this opinion into English.

Spectacular experience. Even though we had to wake up early in the morning, it was definitely worth it. The price was excellent for the ship we sailed on. Excellent food, clean room, and very friendly and helpful staff. Everything in the description perfectly reflects the cruise experience. Perfect organization. Our guide, Amr, was fantastic, super friendly, and I extend my compliments to him. I highly recommend it!!! I don't recommend the carriage ride; poor horses! Opinion translated. Show original.

Alors là ! Pour le prix ! On aurait jamais pensé vivre une expérience aussi extraordinaire. Nous avons été accueilli comme il se doit le premier jour à la sortie de l’hôtel et pris en charge jusqu’au dernier. Nous avons naviguer sur le MS RADAMIS.

Français parfait et très intéressant. Au petits soins pour nous! Translate this opinion into English.

Wow! For the price! We never imagined we'd have such an extraordinary experience. We were greeted warmly on our first day as we left the hotel and looked after until the very last.

But above all, we loved our guide, Reda. Perfect French and very engaging. He took excellent care of us! Opinion translated. Show original.

Buena experiencia, aunque esperaba más por el precio. El crucero nos permitió conocer templos y lugares increíbles. El guía estuvo bien y fue atento. Sin embargo, el barco tenía instalaciones algo anticuadas y algunos detalles de limpieza mejorables. Las excursiones incluían varias paradas dedicadas a actividades comerciales, restando tiempo a las visitas. El paseo en faluca fue decepcionante, más enfocado a vender artesanías que a disfrutar del Nilo.

It was a good experience, although I expected more for the price. The cruise allowed us to see incredible temples and sites. The guide was good and attentive. However, the boat had somewhat outdated facilities and some areas that could be cleaned. The excursions included several stops dedicated to commercial activities, which reduced the time available for sightseeing. The felucca ride was disappointing, focusing more on selling handicrafts than enjoying the Nile.
