Saga cruise poor value for money

Hotel in Cairo was excellent, but the boat the Nile Plaza was extremely poor. The shower tray was on a slope, very slippery and dangerous. Also the shower door was difficult to slide and came off its tracks continually. Wall socket coming away from wall. Two single duvets on a double bed! Small windows and no chair to sit on in the cabin. Also the boat seemed old and tired and needed a total refit. Certainly not acceptable for the price of the holiday from Saga.

Sultan Hassan and MS King Tut I - run away.

This review concerns the ship called Sultan Hassan and MS King Tut I. During a sightseeing tour organized by Itaka, we were accommodated on a ship operated by this company called Sultan Hassan. Unfortunately, our experience on the ship was very disappointing. Bottled water was not provided, there was no internet access, and the food quality was poor. The bathroom was unclean and showed signs of mold. Additionally, during meals, some guests were asked to leave their tables, and this was done in a raised voice by the restaurant floor manager, which created a very uncomfortable and stressful atmosphere. Based on our personal experience, I would not recommend this ship to future travelers.

Great Uniworld tour and cruise on the Nile.

This tour was absolutely fabulous. It started off with 2 nighrs at the Ritz Carlton in Cairo We then took an early flight to Luxor where we boarded the River Tosca. We only had 34 passengers and we were divided in 2 groups with each group had their own guide and driver. Our guide Mohamed has a wealth of knowledge and managed to show us many amazing things. The food on board was delicious and we loved the many Egyptian dishes. Security was tops and we never felt that something would go wrong. Strongly recommend Uniworld!

Beware of scam ships

Beware of these 2 ships and others that feel the same: Kings of egypt Sultan Hassan These boats have very unprofessional attitude and they basically ask you to tip then tell you how much you should tip as if it is a service fee, then when u ask for a receipt they refuse, so it basically is theft under the name of a tip, if you dont like it then they start scaring you and tell each other they didn’t pay you this or that, even though we have tipped everyone separately which might have been a reason for them to be even more greedy and ask for more more more. The people are very improfessional and the music taste is vulgar and they dont even want to put the music down so u dont get a headache.

Scam of Nile cruise ads on booking.com

Be very careful when you try to book online through booking.com as the facts are there is no online booking for any Nile cruise ships , scammers usually post ads with fancy made pictures and ads then once you pay they get your money and go shopping for you with 20% of what you paid , I owe $2000 in bad boat that cost only $300 so you have to find a decent authorized tour company in Egypt that get you 5 stars ship as 99% of ships are 2 & 3 stars only . Everyone lies and scams you in Egypt please be very careful with this

Nile cruise 5 days Private full board accommodation transferred guided tours: questions travelers ask

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

How does Nile cruise 5 days Private full board accommodation transferred guided tours compare to similar tours in Luxor?

+

It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Luxor, with an Outty Ranking of 56. At $600 it sits above the typical similar option ($19), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for couples and travelers who want a full-day outing.

Who is Nile cruise 5 days Private full board accommodation transferred guided tours best for?

+

It suits couples and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 120-hour length, minimum age of 2 and non-refundable terms.

Is Nile cruise 5 days Private full board accommodation transferred guided tours good value?

+

It is a premium pick. It starts at $600, above the $19 typical for similar experiences in Luxor.

How much does Nile cruise 5 days Private full board accommodation transferred guided tours cost?

+

Prices start at $600 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 Nile cruise 5 days Private full board accommodation transferred guided tours 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 Nile cruise 5 days Private full board accommodation transferred guided tours worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 120 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Luxor, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Nile cruise 5 days Private full board accommodation transferred guided tours?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is Nile cruise 5 days Private full board accommodation transferred guided tours suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 120-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Nile cruise 5 days Private full board accommodation transferred guided tours?

+

Around 42 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 Nile cruise 5 days Private full board accommodation transferred guided tours 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 of Luxor private, Full Day Tour to Luxor West bank. 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.
