Very satisfied with the experience. The communication with Mohamed—the owner and manager—was great, before and during the trip, as was the organization. We were picked up at the airport upon arrival, our helper had the visas ready for us, and drove to the hotel, a service we enjoyed at airports. We stayed in 5 star hotels, the Meridian the first night before we headed to take the plane for Ashwan. The cruise boat was nice but needed a facelift, the cabins large (a suite size) and confortable. Food was good, except for the last day we were leaving, when breakfast was very skimpy since most had already eaten and and the food wasn't replaced. Last three nights in Cairo we stayed at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and loved it. Great breakfast, staff and facilities! Our private guides (Mo/Mohammed during the cruise and Reem in Cairo) were both egyptologists, very knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian culture and heritage and always punctual. Drivers were also good. Overall a very smooth experience, highly recommended if you want a hassle-free trip, especially when visiting Egypt for the first time.
