July 16, 2026Wir haben diese Kreuzfahrt gebucht und es war das Highlight unserer Ägyptenreise. Für diesen Preis war das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis hervorragend. Das Mittagessen war reichlich, frisch zubereitet und unsere Wünsche wurden problemlos berücksichtigt. Sehr empfehlenswert, besonders wenn man wenig Zeit in Ägypten hat.

April 7, 2026Ho viaggiato da solo durante questa crociera e non mi sono mai sentito fuori posto. I paesaggi e i templi sono ancora più impressionanti che nelle foto. La nostra guida parlava un inglese ottimo e spiegava la storia senza appesantire. Lo prenoterei di nuovo senza pensarci.

December 3, 2025The 4-Day Private Dahabiya Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor was easy to book and even better in person than it looked online. Lunch was generous, freshly prepared, and they handled our dietary requests without any fuss. For what we paid, the value was outstanding compared with other tours we looked at. Thank you to the whole team for looking after us so well.

November 10, 2025The 4-Day Private Dahabiya Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor was easy to book and even better in person than it looked online. Our guide spoke excellent English and explained the history without overloading us. Timings were planned so that we reached the main sites before the crowds arrived. Well organised from start to finish.

November 1, 2025Zarezerwowaliśmy ten rejs i była to najlepsza część naszego pobytu w Egipcie. Cała ekipa była serdeczna i uważna, bez żadnego nacisku na zakupy. Godziny były tak ustalone, żeby dotrzeć do zabytków przed grupami. Jeśli się wahacie, rezerwujcie.

October 25, 2025Nous avons réservé cette croisière et ce fut le point fort de notre séjour en Égypte. Le véhicule était propre, climatisé et confortable même sur les longs trajets. La prise en charge s'est faite à l'heure pile et le chauffeur était prudent et posé. Une journée dont nous parlerons longtemps.
