The tour was very well organized and the tour company was always in contact to ensure that we were on the train or with our guide or on the boat. The boat was lovely but we especially enjoyed our brilliant guide who very quickly became a friend of ours. He was knowledgeable, incredibly helpful and treated us like family. The sites we visited were indescribable. We would strongly recommend this tour.

Everything was as described. Good communication from organisers. Some tours along the way such as Edfu felt a bit rushed due to ship schedule but overall really good experience. Note that there is only around 1 full day of actual sailing, the rest is visiting nearby temples and tombs.
