May 23, 2026La nostra famiglia ha partecipato a questa crociera e anche i bambini sono rimasti coinvolti. Tutto lo staff è stato caloroso e attento, senza alcuna insistenza commerciale. Per quello che abbiamo pagato, il rapporto qualità-prezzo è eccellente. Consigliatissimo, soprattutto se avete pochi giorni in Egitto.

April 19, 2026Reservámos este cruzeiro e foi o melhor momento da nossa viagem ao Egito. O veículo estava limpo, com ar condicionado e confortável mesmo nos trajetos longos. Os horários foram pensados para chegarmos aos monumentos antes dos grupos. Se está na dúvida, reserve.

April 3, 2026Мы забронировали этот круиз и это стало главным впечатлением нашей поездки в Египет. Обед был сытный, свежеприготовленный, наши пожелания учли без проблем. Время было спланировано так, чтобы приехать к памятникам раньше основных групп. Забронировал бы снова без колебаний.

April 2, 2026Nuestra familia hizo este crucero y hasta los niños estuvieron atentos todo el tiempo. Por lo que pagamos, la relación calidad-precio es excelente. El vehículo estaba limpio, con aire acondicionado y cómodo incluso en los tramos largos. Muy recomendable, sobre todo si tienes pocos días en Egipto.

March 8, 2026I travelled solo on the 5-Day Classic Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan and never once felt out of place or rushed. The vehicle was clean, air conditioned and comfortable even on the longer stretches. Timings were planned so that we reached the main sites before the crowds arrived. Thank you to the whole team for looking after us so well.
Romain Guérin
January 21, 2026Nous avons comparé plusieurs agences avant de choisir cette croisière et nous ne le regrettons pas. Le véhicule était propre, climatisé et confortable même sur les longs trajets. Notre guide parlait un très bon anglais et expliquait l'histoire sans nous noyer de détails. Une journée dont nous parlerons longtemps.

November 23, 2025I travelled solo on the 5-Day Classic Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan and never once felt out of place or rushed. The sites themselves were even more impressive than the photos suggest. The vehicle was clean, air conditioned and comfortable even on the longer stretches. I would book it again without hesitating.

November 3, 2025Мы сравнили несколько операторов, прежде чем выбрать этот круиз, и не пожалели. Время было спланировано так, чтобы приехать к памятникам раньше основных групп. За эти деньги соотношение цены и качества отличное. Один из лучших дней нашего отпуска.

October 12, 2025Porównaliśmy kilku organizatorów, zanim wybraliśmy ten rejs, i nie żałujemy. Godziny były tak ustalone, żeby dotrzeć do zabytków przed grupami. Obiad był obfity, świeżo przygotowany, a nasze prośby zostały uwzględnione bez problemu. Jeden z najlepszych dni naszych wakacji.
