    Not as advertised

    Started of with being cancelled on the night before the cruise was to start and Viator said it was due to weather. Then the company contacted us and said the cruise was still on but we had to come and pay in cash the next day before checking in for cruise and wait for refund from viator. Very stressful and Viator was no help with this. The ship is nice and the staff are great, which saved the trip for us thankfully. But we found out partway though that all the tours offered on the site are false. There are no tours included, you must book them yourself with own tour guide. Food was good tho.

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We sincerely apologize for the confusion and stress you experienced before the start of your cruise. We understand how frustrating it must have been to receive conflicting information regarding your booking and payment. We are sorry for the inconvenience this caused and appreciate your patience during the process. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the ship, the quality of the food, and the professionalism of our staff. Your kind words about our onboard team mean a great deal to us, and we will be happy to share your compliments with them. We are also sorry to learn that the tours did not match your expectations. We take comments like yours very seriously and will review our tour descriptions to ensure they accurately explain what is included in each package and avoid any misunderstanding for future guests. Thank you once again for your honest feedback. It helps us improve our services, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience in the future. Kind regards, Egypt VIP Tours

    I would recommend a cruise outside of here

    This tour is certainly reasonably priced, but we don't recommend signing up. There are too many problems, so I will break them down into big and small questions below and list them in bullet points. If you are concerned about the following issues, we strongly recommend that you book a nice cruise tour at a higher price. 【Major Issues】 ・It says the tour is available in Japanese, but this is a lie. No one speaks Japanese. Tours are conducted in English.  ・The cruise ship in the photo is also a lie. The actual ship you will be on is two times smaller than this.  · Cruise crews and tour guides are independent. The tour planner should coordinate these things to make the tour run smoothly, but this person doesn't do the work at all. The schedule was so bad I wanted a refund. When we contact them, they ignore what they've read, and in the end, the customer is responsible for relaying the communication between the cruise and the tour guide. The constant calls to adjust were the worst.  ・Because of the above, you will be anxious not to know what to do next or where to gather at any time. I don't even know the schedule in 30 minutes and the schedule posted was a lie.  · Moreover, only a few members are contacted. There were other family members (who I had never met) who moved on the same itinerary, but I was the only one who was often contacted, so I had to be their liaison. For example, "Meet at 4 a.m. tomorrow."  ・The various delays (up to 3 hours) mess up the schedule, so the time to visit the ruins is very small. Even though it is a vast ruin, you only need 15 minutes of free time.  · The guides are rough compared to other tours. I only show you a part of the ruins, and the content is almost the same as the information I did a little Google search for. I've heard a few things about other touring groups, and I think there's a double difference in the content.  ・People complained about giving them tips that matched their content. Even though they pay for the tour, they try to make each person pay $10 or something.  ・Some places don't even have a guide.  · On the first visit to the boat, the tour planner invites you to go to the Botanical Garden for $25 per person. This price is close to snatching, as even a Forca driver in town can ride for $4 at the price. I was hesitant to ride because I didn't have enough cash, and the tour planner told me that I didn't need cash at other sites, so it was fine. However, if I had taken him for granted, I could not go to the Aswan Hai Dam, which only accepts cash payments. I hope they at least know the whole tour and take responsibility for what they say.  ・The coach the guide attended was a corrupt coach. He jumped and ran away because he was asked for an exorbitant tip. 【Small Issues】  ・Cruise ships will not move until the second day. The first day is simply used as accommodation (this may be the same for other tours).  · The waiting time for the cruise is too long (though this may not be the only one)  ・There is no heating on the ship. It's fucking cold in winter. I put on my downs, put on my futon and finally went to bed.  ・He was mysteriously lied to about professional dancers coming to the party and belly dancing. None of the guests came and there was no belly dancing or anything.  - As it is an old ship, two mosquitoes appeared in the room. I asked the front desk if I could borrow insecticide, but they said, "Let me handle it," and they didn't do anything. He crushed it on his own.

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your experience. We sincerely apologize that your trip did not meet your expectations, and we regret the frustration and disappointment you experienced. We are especially sorry to hear your concerns regarding the language service, the cruise vessel, communication, itinerary coordination, scheduling delays, and the overall organization of the tour. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide. We also apologize if you felt pressured regarding optional activities or tips. Tips should always be voluntary, and optional excursions should be presented transparently without pressure. We also regret your comments regarding the guide, the limited time at some historical sites, the horse carriage experience, and the condition of the cruise ship. Your feedback has been noted carefully and will be shared with the relevant departments and our local partners so these matters can be thoroughly reviewed and addressed. While some schedule adjustments may occur due to navigation conditions, lock crossings, or operational circumstances, we fully agree that guests should always receive clear communication and accurate information throughout their journey. We sincerely apologize that this was not your experience. Thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. Honest feedback such as yours helps us identify areas that require improvement. We hope you will accept our sincere apologies, and we appreciate the opportunity to learn from your experience. Kind regards, Egypt VIP Tours

    3 night Nile Cruise From Aswan To Luxor including Abu Simbel: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aswan.

    How much does 3 night Nile Cruise From Aswan To Luxor including Abu Simbel cost?

    +

    Prices start at $462 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aswan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3 night Nile Cruise From Aswan To Luxor including Abu Simbel take?

    +

    Plan for about 96 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 Aswan is not rushed.

    Is 3 night Nile Cruise From Aswan To Luxor including Abu Simbel worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aswan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3 night Nile Cruise From Aswan To Luxor including Abu Simbel?

    +

    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 3 night Nile Cruise From Aswan To Luxor including Abu Simbel suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3 night Nile Cruise From Aswan To Luxor including Abu Simbel?

    +

    Around 2 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 Aswan 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 Aswan and add a light layer if any part of the 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    +

    +

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 Aswan?

    +

    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 Aswan?

    +

    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.
