perfect experience. Marina is an angel, very helpfull informing us about the next day activities via WhatsApp arrived on the ship MS Mahrousa around 1 pm where we received a nice lunch and were given some nice, spacious rooms. Next morning we left early to go visit the Edfu temple with our guide Gabriel. Gabriel is one of a kind, he knows a lot and is passionate about his work and loves to inform his guests about the ancient Egyptian history. After that we returned to the ship and headed to Kom Ombo. We used our private time to spend it on the beautiful upper deck with pool In the late afternoon we visited Kom Ombo with Gabriel, who again explained everything very well. We really leaned a lot from him, we were happy having him as our guide. After returned to the ship we headed to Assuan, and very early the next morning ( 4 o clock) we started our trip to Abu Simble. Gabriel again accompanied us and passed on his huge knowledge. Overall we had a perfect trip, couldn’t wish for more.

Gabriel was an amazing guide and Egyptologist. If you want the best information about the places you are visiting this is the guide you need. He explained everything in detail. He is so knowledgeable and really spent time to explain he story of each carving and each temple and gave a thorough explanation about the hieroglyphics. He was on time and was very clear on his directions and timing for meeting at meeting places. It was so helpful that he was with us the whole 3 days of the cruise as some stories and information linked to previous visits the day before. The communication with Nice Tours leading up to and during the tour was also very clear and gave us a comprehensive itinerary for each day the night before. I would highly recommend booking this tour. hassle free with Cruise and Guide/Egyptologist already included and Nice Tours can even handle all the entrance fees for you if you wish.
