My sister and I traveled by ourselves and we felt completely safe. The guide Michael was excellent and I could tell that he really enjoyed his work. He was always pleasant and patient with the entire group. He welcomed questions, kept us on schedule, and made sure we were will taken care of and safe.
My favorite part was cruising down the Nile. It was so peaceful and tropical.
Food was adequate with breakfast being my favorite with an omelette bar. Food was often not hot however and you have to pay for all drinks, to include water, on the boat.
The boat was adequate but room thermostat could not be adjusted (or was malfunctioning). It was very very cold or we had to turn it off.
Nile cruises are all priced differently (some including all the entrance fees, tips, drinks, etc). If you select the option to not have entrance fees included you still have to pay that when you go on the tours so there isn't much of a cost savings unless you do not attend the tours- we didn't realize this when trying to choose a tour. Another consideration when budgeting for your trip, we tipped the crew separately as well as Micheal. Overall we had a really pleasant experience and would absolutely do it again!
