We had an amazing 8-day Nile cruise with Nice Tours. The arrangements were seamless, running like clockwork. All activities were exactly as described, and every evening, we received the guide’s name, pickup time, and detailed itinerary for the next day. The guides and drivers were excellent, ensuring we were fully satisfied throughout the trip. We learned so much about every place we visited. The cruise itself was comfortable and enjoyable, with a polite and helpful crew. Our experience exceeded expectations—highly recommended!

We enjoyed the activity, Amazing but hectic tour, did not enjoy the food in the hotels but an overall good experience. Some guides were better than others. Sara (karnak temple) was amazing, highly recommend her, also guides Aladdin (valley of the kings), Shaima (philae island) and Ahmed (abou simbel) were very good.

I spent 7 unforgettable days in Egypt, where I had the chance to visit the country’s most famous monuments. Each site was impressive, full of history and culture. The guides were perfect—professional, knowledgeable, and passionate, which made every visit even more captivating. The organization of the trip was flawless, as were the hotels, which provided excellent comfort and quality. A special mention goes to Zeinab, the tour organizer, who ensured everything went smoothly. Thanks to her and her team, this experience will remain a cherished memory.

We are a family of 4 with 2 very young children (6 & 3 yrs). We are just back from the 8 day tour of Cairo, Aswan & Luxor with the Nile river cruise. We had an enjoyable trip. Special mention to Amr (Cairo Pyramids guide), Ahmed (Abu Simbel guide) & Menl (West/East bank Luxor guide). They were brilliant and very interesting facts were shared about these places! We however felt the tour guides to Philae, Kum Ombo & Edfu were pretty basic. Overall it was a great experience with Nice Tours and we felt the Nile river cruise was truly relaxing. The staff onboard the “queen of sheba” cruise was very friendly and helpful and food was great (we are vegetarians & surprisingly we had loads of options!!). We started off with Cairo and had a few hiccups/ last minute cancellation of certain activities etc, but Zeinab was simply superb in reassuring us at every stage and sorting things out for us by providing us round the clock support. Would highly recommend Nice Tours and special thanks to Zeinab.

We took a tour to Phila temple with tour guide Mohamed. He was helpful with instructions and fixing a couple issues that naturally occured from the airport. Philae Temple is truly a remarkable site that left a lasting impression on me. we took a boat to the island on which the temple is located, which is a nice addition to witness

The tour to the Valley of the Kings, Queen Hatsheput Temple, Karnak and Luxor Temple was the highlight of the trip. Our guide, Nirmeen and driver, Ilya, were fantastic and took extremely good care of us including providing detailed explanations of the sites, the history, the culture and the traditions. If you are going on this tour, we highly recommend that you request for Nirmeen as your guide in Luxor.

This is a great tour, from beginning to end everything is carefully planned and executed. First of all, our tour operator Zeinab is the most excellent co-pilot anyone can dream of. She understand all of our problems and all of our requests and solve all the issues for us. Thanks to her, we did not feel discomfortable in any time, all our tour is tailor made for us thanks to her. Every evening she sent the next day program, every day she asked our well being and made sure that we were having a good time. Nice Tours is so lucky to have her. Our Cairo guide Mira was excellent at explaining all the history and answered all of our questions and thanks to her, we learnt and experienced Cairo at the fullest. Cruise experience was really good. Felucca rides, horse carriage in Edfu, night tour at Kom Ombo and the long trip to Abu Simbel were really once in a lifetime experiences. Luxor was fantastic with our guide Salah’s explanations. He is really a pool of wisdom. This was an amazing tour
