Abbiamo pagato per una classe Superior, ma la nave era piuttosto malandata, cabine incluso. Nel complesso una buona esperienza. La navigazione sul Nilo piacevole e suggestiva e i siti visitati stupendi anche se impegnativi come orari (partenza alle 2/3 di notte). Bene la guida anche se proponeva dei tour aggiuntivi a prezzi esorbitanti. Cibo nella media egiziana. Translate this opinion into English.

We paid for Superior class, but the ship was rather run-down, including the cabins. Overall, a good experience. The Nile cruise was pleasant and evocative, and the sites we visited were stunning, albeit with a challenging schedule (departure at 2-3 am). The guide was good, even though he offered additional tours at exorbitant prices. The food was average for Egypt. Opinion translated. Show original.

Somos una familia con 3 hij@s, de 16, 12 y 8 años, y los 5 hemos tenido una experiencia fantàstica! El grupo con el que hicimos el cucero fue un grupo encantador, las instalaciones del barco estupendas, la comida estaba también muy bien, el personal del barco encantador (con mi hijo se desacían en detalles) y nuestro guía EL MEJOR, MALUMA! Todo en conjunto hizo que los días de crucero fueran innolvidables.. MUCHAS GRACIAS A TODOS! Translate this opinion into English.

We are a family with three children, ages 16, 12, and 8, and all five of us had a fantastic experience! The group we cruised with was lovely, the ship's facilities were superb, the food was also very good, the ship's staff were delightful (they went out of their way to help my son with every little detail), and our guide, Maluma, was THE BEST! Everything together made our cruise days unforgettable. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! Opinion translated. Show original.

El barco és còmode, molt net i el personal és molt amable i simpàtic. El menjar és molt bo, en quantitat i força variat. La piscina ajuda molt en les tornades de les visites. Organitzativament el primer dia va ser una mica caòtic. Quant a les visites, cal preparar-se per llevar-se d'hora i veure les coses a un ritme intens, no hi ha temps per a recrear-se. El guia no ens va agradar explicava lo mínim i després anava al bar mentre fèiem la part lliure de la visita.

The boat is comfortable, very clean and the staff is very friendly and nice. The food is very good, in quantity and quite varied. The pool helps a lot in the return visits. Organizationally the first day was a bit chaotic. As for the visits, you have to prepare to get up early and see things at an intense pace, there is no time to relax. We didn't like the guide, he explained the minimum and then went to the bar while we did the free part of the visit.

Crocera buona esperienza positiva, l'unica nota dolente la guida in italiano il sig. IBRAHIM che oltre a darci spiegazioni sintetiche e superficiali ci lasciava spesso all'entrata dei siti senza nessuna spiegazione all'interno dei tali,non solo ci proponeva spesso gite non programmate a prezzi folli dovete essere piu presenti grazie!!! Translate this opinion into English.

Good cruise, positive experience, the only sore point was the Italian guide, Mr. IBRAHIM, who, in addition to giving us brief and superficial explanations, often left us at the entrance to the sites without any explanation inside them, not only did he often propose unscheduled trips at crazy prices, you need to be more present, thanks!!!

Beautiful, clean rooms and excellent facilities. The food was outstanding, with great variety and many delicious local and vegetarian options. However, the guide’s Spanish was poor, so I understood only about 30% of the explanations. The itinerary was unclear and often changed, with unexpected souvenir stops and extra paid activities. Staff communication was also difficult, as few spoke English or Spanish. Beverages were reasonably priced and not an issue.

I travelled with friends

We appreciate your feedback regarding the guide's language skills and the itinerary clarity. We strive to improve our services and will address these issues with our team to enhance the experience for future guests.

La experiencia fue muy buena. Visitamos los principales monumentos de los templos Egipcios. Los tres guías que tuvimos fueron especialmente buenos: Maluma, Mustafa y Hamed. Se notaba que contaban la historia con pasión y que les gusta lo que hacen. Una experiencia muy bonita de vivir. Los camarotes del barco estaban bien. La comida tipo buffet correcta. Te vienen a recoger al aeropuerto y después te dejan al hotel en el que te hospedes. Translate this opinion into English.

The experience was excellent. We visited the main monuments of the Egyptian temples. The three guides we had were especially good: Maluma, Mustafa, and Hamed. It was clear they told the story with passion and that they loved what they did. A truly wonderful experience. The cabins on the ship were fine. The buffet food was adequate. They pick you up at the airport and then drop you off at your hotel. Opinion translated. Show original.

Fue un auténtico placer. Disfruté y aprendí mucho. Estaba todo pensado y organizado para que fuera productivo. De las mejores cosas que tiene el crucero es el staff, desde el recepcionista, hasta los cocineros, pasando por el guía, Nasser. Un aplauso especial para él, que se ha esforzado mucho para que disfrutásemos y que fuera ameno. Gracias a personas como Nasser y el resto del staff, guardaré un precioso recuerdo. Translate this opinion into English.

It was a true pleasure. I enjoyed myself and learned a lot. Everything was planned and organized to be productive. One of the best things about the cruise is the staff, from the receptionist to the cooks, and especially our guide, Nasser. A special round of applause for him, who went out of his way to ensure we enjoyed ourselves and that the trip was pleasant. Thanks to people like Nasser and the rest of the staff, I will cherish many wonderful memories. Opinion translated. Show original.

Ha sido una experiencia increíble, un 10/10 El guía ''Maluma'' ha sido muy profesional, se notaba la pasión con la que explicaba cada cosa, tuvimos la suerte de tener un grupo reducido y eso mejoró la experiencia, pudimos hacer todas las preguntas que queríamos todo el tiempo. El barco era muy cómodo, todo el personal super amable, la comida variadisima, cada día ofrecían algo diferente, de calidad y abundante. La puntualidad para las actividades también es de destacar, valió cada euro. Translate this opinion into English.

It was an incredible experience, a 10/10. Our guide, Maluma, was very professional; you could see the passion with which he explained everything. We were lucky to have a small group, which enhanced the experience, allowing us to ask all the questions we wanted, whenever we wanted. The boat was very comfortable, all the staff were incredibly friendly, and the food was varied, offering something different each day—high quality and plentiful. The punctuality for the activities was also noteworthy; it was worth every penny. Opinion translated. Show original.

Fue una muy buena experiencia de la mano de nuestro guía Hiba. Nos encantó el barco asignado (Zeina) y su tripulación. Todo el tiempo intentaban hablar en español y siempre fueron muy serviciales... Es un Tour pensado de de manera muy activa y explosiva. Pero vale toda la pena del mundo. Translate this opinion into English.

It was a fantastic experience with our guide Hiba. We loved the boat (Zeina) and its crew. They tried to speak Spanish the whole time and were always very helpful. It's a very active and energetic tour, but it's absolutely worth it. Opinion translated. Show original.

Tutta la crociera è stata organizzata benissimo, abbiamo ricevuto messaggi un paio di GG prima della partenza per la conferma di orario e servizio taxi x raggiungere la crociera. Abbiamo avuto una guida archeologica bravissima e preparatissimo " NUBI " sempre presente e gentilissimo che ci ha accompagnato durante i GG in crociera sempre disponibile ad accontentare i nostri bisogni e rispondere alle nostre domande Translate this opinion into English.

The entire cruise was very well organized. We received messages a couple of days before departure confirming the time and taxi service to get to the cruise. We had a very good and knowledgeable archaeological guide, "NUBI," who was always present and very kind. He accompanied us throughout the cruise, always available to meet our needs and answer our questions. Opinion translated. Show original.

En general estuvo todo muy bien. Cogimos la categoría superior y el barco, aunque no era nuevo y moderno, se veía reformado y estaba todo muy limpio. La calidad de la comida era bastante buena y variada también. La única pega fue el guía, “Alsam”. Las explicaciones fueron correctas pero la actitud mejorable. Nos sentimos timados por él en varias ocasiones, intentando sacar dinero de cualquier gestión en vez de ayudarnos como guía que era.

Overall, everything was very good. We booked the superior category, and while the boat wasn't new or modern, it looked refurbished and was very clean. The food was quite good and varied as well. The only downside was the guide, "Alsam." His explanations were accurate, but his attitude could have been better. We felt cheated by him on several occasions, as he tried to extract money from every transaction instead of helping us as the guide he was supposed to be.

Cogimos la opción superior del crucero y la habitación estaba muy limpia, la comida era buena y el personal fue maravilloso. El único punto negativo fue el guía Asam, que empañó la experiencia. No fue amable ni sentimos que velara por los intereses del grupo; al contrario, parecía buscar beneficio propio. Apenas daba información logística útil sobre el crucero y el plan diario. Además, trataba al grupo con malas formas y metía prisas constantemente pese a que siempre llegábamos puntuales.

We opted for the superior cruise package, and the cabin was very clean, the food was good, and the staff was wonderful. The only downside was our guide, Asam, who marred the experience. He wasn't friendly, and we didn't feel he was looking out for the group's best interests; on the contrary, he seemed to be looking out for his own interests. He barely provided any useful logistical information about the cruise or the daily itinerary. Furthermore, he treated the group rudely and constantly rushed us, even though we were always on time.

El barconera bastante viejito, la comida regular, el personal muy bien. El aire acondicionado no funcionaba y en la otra habitación q nos dieron había un ruido de motores terrible. Todos los barcos hacen las excursiones a las mismas horas y después los templos se quedan vacíos, se debería plantear otros horarios para poder disfrutar a gusto. El guía fue estupendo!!!

The barconera is quite old, the food is average, the staff is very good. The air conditioning wasn't working and in the other room we were given, there was a terrible noise from engines. All the boats go on excursions at the same times and then the temples are left empty; different schedules should be considered to enjoy it better. The guide was fantastic!!!

Lamentamos que la comida no estuviera a la altura. Trabajamos con proveedores locales y transmitiremos tu opinión para mejorar. Nos alegra que disfrutaras del guía. Tomamos nota de los inconvenientes con el aire acondicionado y el ruido para futuras mejoras.

La experiencia fue maravillosa, en gran parte gracias a nuestro guía Mohamed Hiba. No solo es un excelente guía, apasionado y con verdadera vocación por su trabajo, sino también una gran persona, genuinamente preocupada por ayudar y por hacer que la experiencia sea la mejor posible. La comida del barco fue muy buena, con buffet variado y bien preparado. Las instalaciones del barco eran muy agradables y el personal muy amable. Sin duda, una gran experiencia para conocer Egipto.

Como muchas de las reviews describen, el tour organizado por Dunas Travel es muy caótico. Tienes que ser paciente y flexible para no frustrarte y disfrutar sin mucho problema. En mi opinion, tienen mucho por mejorar en cuestión de logística, manejo de grupos, atención al cliente y explicaciones sobre los sitios de interés. Ojala que mejoren porque la ruta y Egipto ofrecen mucho y un mejor tour enriquecería la experiencia. Con todo y eso, si lo recomendaría.

As many reviews describe, the tour organized by Dunas Travel is very chaotic. You have to be patient and flexible to avoid frustration and enjoy yourself without too many problems. In my opinion, they have a lot of room for improvement in terms of logistics, group management, customer service, and explanations about the sites of interest. I hope they improve because the route and Egypt offer so much, and a better tour would enrich the experience. Even so, I would recommend it.

Las instalaciones del crucero eran buenas y en buen estado. La comida variada y rica. Nuestro guía, Ahmed, un 10. Nos explicaba toda la historia, los templos, resolvía dudas y fue muy atento en todo momento. En general, con todo el grupo fue super agradable y estuvimos muy cómodos los 4 días. Pudimos visitar todos los templos, que eran espectaculares. Hay que madrugar, pero merece mucho la pena. Translate this opinion into English.

Il servizio di Civitatis è stato perfetto; le guide locali in italiano gentilissime e dedicate a noi 4!! Abbiamo dovuto invertire alcune visite ai siti per via degli orari di ritorno dei voli e Civitatis ci ha riadattato il tutto per noi, sempre all’interno del budget iniziale. Mezzi privati e crociera pulitissimi, sempre in orario. Sicuramente lo consiglio e mi riaffideró a Civitatis per i prossimi viaggi. Translate this opinion into English.

Todo el viaje fue hermoso de punta a punta, desde las instalaciones hasta la comida (muy variada) y todo el personal muy predispuesto. Nuestro guía en español fue Ahmed, que nos explicó bastante y siempre tenía una sonrisa y buena onda con todo el grupo. Mi única crítica sería que los horarios de las excursiones están mal organizados y meten todo junto, por lo que a veces te queda poco tiempo para recorrer los templos (aunque esto ya lo sabíamos). Super recomendable, navegar el Nilo es increible Translate this opinion into English.

The entire trip was beautiful from beginning to end, from the facilities to the food (very varied) and all the staff were very helpful. Our Spanish-speaking guide was Ahmed, who explained a lot and always had a smile and a great attitude with the whole group. My only criticism would be that the excursion schedules are poorly organized and they cram everything in, so sometimes you have little time to visit the temples (although we already knew this). Highly recommended; sailing on the Nile is incredible. Opinion translated. Show original.
