Summary: My wife and I made the reservation for a 4 day, 3 night Nile Cruise from Aswan to Luxor thru Bonvoy Tours. Lucky for us, it worked out the our tour was arranged by Egypt Tours. Michael, the owner, took really good care of us. He explained the options of which ships we had to choose from, helped us to rearrange our transfer to Hurghada after the cruise and gave precise explanations about our Ancient Egyptian tours and questions. We definitely would book with him again.

Summary: Michael, the trip organizer and guide for some of the days was wonderfully informative without boring lectures. We learned so much while having fun. This trip helped to dispel myths of history, the Egyptian government, and mostly the people. We found warm, humorous and accepted people everywhere. On another note, there were a couple of days when i wasn’t feeling well and Michael rearranged experiences to fit our needs. No waiting for others as you do in large group tours. Finally, he arranged our 3 night cruise on the Dolphin ( after giving us some options). The ship was old and not a luxury liner but it was clean, fun and met our needs without breaking the bank. If you always wanted to visit this ancient land, i encourage you to do it now.
