5 star that doesn't even reach 1 star
Dad I do not recommend buying any tour from this company, it turned out to be a big scam. We bought a tour through tourradar.com, supposedly Egypt luxury cruise, Nile cruise and Air 5 Star. The result was a total rip-off of the supposed cruise and Air 5 Star. The rest was very good, both the guides and the tours, of that I have no complaints. What hurts is that I told them and today I traveled back to Cairo and the flight was super low cost with Cairo Air. To top it off, I consider it a scam because they advertise a 5 Star cruise and the ship, the staff, and the attention were not bad. Perfect, I really do not recommend them.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent experience with us. We value all comments, whether positive or negative, as they help us improve our services. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We take great pride in providing exceptional service to all our guests. We would like to highlight that throughout the trip, we continuously encouraged guests to share any feedback or concerns with us to ensure their comfort and satisfaction. We are disheartened that you did not reach out to us during the journey, as we would have been more than happy to address any issues promptly. It is important to note that we upgraded you to a luxury Nile cruise and provided an upper deck cabin at no additional cost as a gesture of goodwill. It is surprising to hear your dissatisfaction, especially considering the positive feedback we received from other guests, including our guide's family, who found their experience to be excellent. We strive to offer memorable and enjoyable experiences to all our guests, and we regret that we fell short of meeting your expectations on this occasion. Should you wish to discuss your concerns further or provide us with more details about your experience, please feel free to contact us directly. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we strive to enhance our services and ensure the satisfaction of all our guests. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. Warm regards,

Nile Cruise Family Adventure!
Review We had a family trip with our group of 8 people. Everything was well organised with buses and drivers. The Nile cruise was fantastic and the temples and valley of the kings were phenomenal! Our amazing guide Medhat was so knowledgeable and took us around to all the sights. He had all the tickets organised, kept us safe and comfortable and had our best interests at heart. He made sure that we had enough time for us to really take in all the temples and gave us plenty of time for photo opportunities. I would highly recommend Medhat as your guide as he really went above and beyond to make our trip memorable! Thanks Truly Egypt for making sure you gave us the best guide for our holiday!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your excellent review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a fantastic experience with us. Your kind words inspire our team to continue providing exceptional service and memorable experiences.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
04 Nights Nile Cruise From Luxor to Aswan: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Luxor.
How much does 04 Nights Nile Cruise From Luxor to Aswan cost?
+
Prices start at $650 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Luxor usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 04 Nights Nile Cruise From Luxor to Aswan take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Luxor is not rushed.
Is 04 Nights Nile Cruise From Luxor to Aswan worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 04 Nights Nile Cruise From Luxor to Aswan?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 04 Nights Nile Cruise From Luxor to Aswan suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 04 Nights Nile Cruise From Luxor to Aswan?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Luxor can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Luxor and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 04 Nights Nile Cruise From Luxor to Aswan start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Luxor within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Luxor?
+
On Outty we rank every Luxor experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Half Day Luxor Tour Valley of Kings & Queens, Hatshepsut, Full Day Tour to East and West Banks of Luxor (Private), Full Day Tour of Luxor private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Luxor?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Luxor?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
