Amazing 3-Nights Cruise From Aswan To Luxor including Abu Simbel&Hot Air Balloon

Excelente si estás en duda como nos pasó a mí y a mi amiga, no lo dudes más y resérvalo. Fue la mejor inversión que pudimos haber hecho, hermoso el camarote, las personas que trabajan allí excelentes muy amables, muy atentas, muy respetuosas teníamos miedo antes de llegar por ser solo dos mujeres, pero sin duda fue la mejor inversión. De la agencia súper atentos todos los días me escribían por whatsapp para avisarnos a qué hora nos recogían al siguiente día, nombre y teléfono de nuestro día y preguntándome cómo estuvo todo. Prepárense para recorrer absolutamente todos los templos, terminamos un poco cansadas ya que comenzábamos el día muchas veces a las 3 o 4 am pero valió la pena porque conocimos todo. Nasser fue el mejor guía que nos pudo haber tocado donde visitamos los últimos dos días de luxor, sin duda nos trató como su familia hasta un día que no teníamos más libras egipcias nos pagó lo que te cobran para ir al baño (entre 10 y 15 pounds en los templos). Solo una mejora que no tiene que ver con el crucero sino con el globo aerostáticos sería bueno que el último día donde se realiza la excursión nos pasen a buscar más temprano para poder ver el amanecer. Sin embargo todo fue hermoso

Overall, it was okay, but there are a few points I’d like to highlight: 1. Limited Time at Temples Each temple visit allowed only 1 to 1.5 hours, but our actual visit time was just 45 minutes since the tour guide spent 30 minutes explaining the history. This wasn’t nearly enough time to explore these vast sites. Just walking to the entrance alone took at least 10-15 minutes. I felt rushed at each temple and had to constantly check the time. Additionally, while our time at the temples was limited, the tour guide still made time to take us to souvenir shops, which felt frustrating and unnecessary. This aspect is a real downside for anyone considering a guided tour. 2. Horse and Carriage in Edfu The itinerary included a horse and carriage ride in Edfu, but at the last minute, the tour guide informed us that he had booked a van instead. I had looked forward to the horse and carriage experience, and he changed the plan without consulting us. Other groups were still able to take the horse carriage, so I don’t understand why he changed our itinerary. It felt as though this change was made simply to cut costs. 3. Hot Air Balloon in Luxor This was the most disappointing part of the tour. The night before, the guide informed us that our departure for the hot air balloon ride would be at 5:50 a.m., while I had expected to depart at 4:30 a.m. like other groups, to catch the sunrise. I later discovered that we had been booked on the second round, meaning we would miss the sunrise. If I had been given the option, I would have gladly paid extra for the first round. Having traveled all the way from Malaysia, this was supposed to be the highlight of my trip, and missing the sunrise was incredibly disappointing. For anyone who values having enough time at temples or experiencing the sunrise on the first hot air balloon, I would not recommend this tour.

I took this cruise from 10/13 to 10/16. The cruise included wonderful tours and served delicious food. But I give it 3 points for the following reasons. The maximum 1 point I can give to our last day, the Luxor guide, because he encouraged us to give up 2 of 4 temples, the Luxor Temple and the Temple of Hatshepsut. Later I found the Luxor Temple is one of the best temples and the Temple of Hatshepsut is also great. Also, we didn't have a guide to lead us visiting the Temple of Kom Ombo on the third morning. But I must give a full 5 to Michael, the tour guide on the first and second day. Michael is experienced, knowledgeable, and speaks fluent and understandable English. I'd like to give a 5 to the cruise programs and foods. And also a 5 to our Edfu Temple guide.
