The cruise ship, Nile jewel is terrible. Very dirty, no tasty food. No value to pay money. Better to flight from/to Aswan and Luxor and buy the tours. I don't understand 5 star ship ?????

Everything was absolutely fantastic! The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Tour guide, Mohamed Albasha, was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. He kept me updated on the days schedule, shared helpful tips for navigating the markets, and assisted in arranging transportation for after the tour. Can't wait to bring the whole family next time!

The cruise exceeded our expectations. Best value for money cruise all inclusive with tour guide. I would definitely recommend it. We would prefer if possible to have the schedule of the cruise in advance. The tour started directly from Aswan airport and we didn’t know it! I would also recommend to stop in Esna for 2 hours and not just 1 ! Many thanks to our tour guide !!! Thank you Ramesses for everything !

Pior experiência de sempre em viagens! Cruzeiro de 4 dias é um titulo falso! O navio só navega 1 dia! Quando embarquei estive 1h30 à espera porque a agência não informou o navio da minha presença. Graças ao gerente do navio se sentir mal com toda a situação e sem a mesma estar resolvida, arranjou me um quarto e almoço! Em todas as excursões houve informações incorrectas sobre horários e dias das excursões! Motorista que não cumpre qualquer regra de condução (velocidade, prioridade, riscos continuos, curvas, chegou a fazer ultrapassagem em duplo risco continuo numa curva ao lado de um carro que já estava a ultrapassar!) Guias que mal falam inglês. Em nenhum lado li que as bebidas das refeições não estavam incluídas, mas tive que as pagar! Comprei um "cruzeiro" que foi cancelado. Tive que comprar este por mais 250€ porque já tinha passagens de avião, hoteis e tours compradas à volta das datas do "cruzeiro"! A conversar com outras pessoas descobrimos que é prática comum o cancelamento para depois comprarmos mais caro! Tenho comprado diversas excursões com a La Vacanza Travel e sempre satisfatórias ou excelentes! Mas desaconselho qualquer cruzeiro pelo Nilo, até porque tive o prazer de conhecer pessoas nas excursões, com experiências piores que a minha. Ao ponto da polícia ser encolvida!

Expérience extraordinaire, mais ne comptez pas sur le tour operator pendant le séjour car ils répondent pas aux questions sur whatsapp. Deuxième point négatif, il était indiqué dans la formule que les bouteilles d'eau étaient incluses dans le forfait mais il a fallut toutes les payer (35 livres égyptienne la bouteille). Sinon le bateau était sympa pour un 5 étoiles mais un peu vieillissant (M.S Zeina). Les guides prévus ont tous été fantastiques et La Vacanza Travel est un bon contact sur whatsapp et ça, c'est ce que nous retiendrons
