Things to note…

The tour that we took was very well organised and well executed by the tour operator. It went without any hiccups except the balloon ride which was cancelled due to strong winds so if you book this to be prepared, that this is a very dependent on the weather. The boat was comfortable with plenty for buffet meals. You do not know which boat you’re going on until the day as they allocate based on demand. However, all the boats are very similar so do not worry. Be prepared that most the time the boat is parked along the river with a boat either side so you do not have any view outside the room window, so unless you are first on the dock or your on the outside boat you do not have a view. All the boats have a sun deck and an area to relax on top. So there is really no need to have a balcony or worry about the view out the window, as you can always go to the top deck. However, when the boat is travelling, you get a great view out of all the windows. Be prepared that while a lot of the itinerary is paid for however there is additional tours that you have to go on, that do cost extra and you have to build in tips for your guide and boat so you do budget to add on an additional USD 500 per pax to cover everything. Our guide Don was superb, very flexible and knowledgeable. The temples are breathtaking and it is a real bucket list trip you must do once in your life! I highly recommend the tour operator and thank you for taking very good care of us. The biggest problem you will have is too many photographs to sort through on your return!

Well-Orchestrated, Entertaining, and Truly Memorable!

We recently completed our Nile River cruise, and while our main guide wasn’t physically with us during the temple visits, he was the mastermind behind every detail of our journey — and he truly did a fantastic job. He arranged the entire itinerary, coordinated transport and private guide, and ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish. One thing we really appreciated was his ability to tailor the trip to our interests. He recommended several additional tours (yes, they came with an extra cost), but we have to admit — they were well worth it. The temples and sites he suggested were stunning and absolutely must-visits, adding so much depth and richness to our experience. He’s not only organized and responsive, but also brought humor and personality to the trip. He kept us entertained and comfortable throughout, always checking in and making sure everything was going well. Yes, some of the add-ons felt a bit pricey — but in the end, we left with no regrets and unforgettable memories. Highly recommended if you want a personalized and well-organized Nile experience with someone who knows the area and clearly loves what he does. 10/10 😎

Great and unique experience!

We had an excellent experience with the tour organized to Manshiyat Nasir and the Coptic community area, often referred to as Garbage City. Our driver picked us up right on time, and upon arrival, our local guide was already waiting for us. The tour began with a visit to the breathtaking rock-hewn church – a truly unique and powerful place – and then continued to the part we were most eager to see: the heart of the Coptic district. It was an extraordinary experience. Our guide took us off the beaten path, showing us places we would have never discovered on our own. He generously shared his knowledge about the history, daily life, and social importance of this remarkable neighborhood. We highly recommend this tour – it's eye-opening, meaningful, and very well organized!

Very Good!

I visited Egypt for 12 days with my husband, and it was a very good trip! Yasser brother supported to cover us on Aswan, Abu Simbel, and Luxor with his professional, friendly, and supportive team members. He is so responsible and good person. I recommend his agency and services.

Nile Cruise Princess Sarah tranquillity on the banks of the Nile

Our flight began on Monday aboard Nile Cruise Princess Sarah, and it was truly one of the most beautiful experiences. The compound is very elegant, the rooms are spacious and clean, and the food is varied and delicious. The service on board the cruise is excellent and the staff is very nice. The general atmosphere is calm and comfortable and very suitable for those looking for rest and relaxation. I thank ERT for this successful selection, headed by Mr. Yasser for his tireless follow-up and keenness on the comfort of all members of the group

Unforgettable Egypt Tour

Our tour in Luxor and Aswan, organized by Egypt Rest Tours, was an unforgettable experience! Everything was well-planned, and we felt taken care of every step of the way. In Luxor, our guide Mr. Yousef was absolutely amazing—very professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to our needs. He even added a fun twist to the tour with a little game for us. To top it off, he gave us some thoughtful souvenirs, which was such a nice and personal touch. In Aswan, we were guided by Ms. Reem, who was also incredibly informative, especially when it came to sharing the rich culture of the Nubian tribe and the significance of the temples we visited. She took us to a local restaurant where we had some of the most delicious and authentic Nubian food—a real highlight! The hot air balloon ride in Luxor, which was included in our tour package, was simply amazing and truly unforgettable as well! And a big thanks to all our drivers especially to Osama, who was so cheerful and full of energy throughout the tour. Even though he spoke only a little English, we had no problem communicating and really enjoyed his company. He made the long drives comfortable and safe, and his positive vibe was infectious. We highly recommend Egypt Rest Tours for anyone planning to explore Luxor and Aswan—you’ll be in great hands!

Simmi 's family in Egypt

I want to write that I am new to TripAdvisor ,, I had booked a flight airline and never booked my flight inside Egypt I saw this IT account on Facebook then I moved to Tribadfizer and booked with them but I was very scared because my leg was the first to Egypt But I traveled for 8 days, seven nights with ART. Really they are very organized and a friendly team and attention to the smallest details. Me and my husband take me and my mother and I all had a lot of fun and we were comfortable in the transfers, it is modern and enough and the driver is great We visited Iran Aswan with domestic flights, Nile Cruise was a wonderful trip and will be repeated again Thank you for your interest and I will recommend the agency to all my friends

See Aswan to Luxor in style!

Mustafa was an excellent guide throughout our Nile cruise. Very informative at all the locations we visited. Very friendly and made the trip exciting with stories from Ancient Egypt. He looked after us very well and we even got to experience the Egyptian coffee culture one evening in Luxor. I highly recommend
