The places to visit are beautiful. 3 bad points that are good to know : -in Luxor, the boat is far away from the city center so if you arrive early, don't expect to spend time in the city after check in -the 25€ tips announced on the website are only for the visits and cruise crew. Your guide will take them the first day and tip all this people for you. On top you will have to tip your guide (so another 25€ for him) - the felouque tour is nothing special, just a turn in front of your cruise boat

€25 is the fee for the tips for the visits and cruise crew, but there are passengers that also want to provide the guide with a tip. It's not mandatory at all, and the tip is not a fixed amount, each person contributes the amount he or she wishes.

Overall, the experience was very positive. The boat was comfortable with great service and the various sites visited were worthwhile. We were able to see a lot over the course of three days. There were many additional tour options for extra charge, some which I would have preferred over the included ones, so I would suggest to maybe give people options to personalize the tours a bit. The mandatory 25 EUR tip did not include the guide which was confusing - all tipping could be included in price.

Due to pandemic restrictions we expected people to be wearing masks which did not happen major part of the time (including for staff sometimes). Food was also not exceptional, waitress were really kind but buffet got a bit crowded and people could serve without mask.

The use of masks is obligatory for all participants and staff during the whole activity. We will take into account what you mention so our local supplier can be even more strict on this regard. Thank you for your comments.

Despite the cancellation of the cruise because of covid 19, they managed to do the tour by road. I had an amazing experience visiting the temples, and the guide Mr. Mohamed couldn’t be any better. He is very passionate about ancient Egyptian history. Overall, it was a great experience.

Amazing tour with a great guide. The tour was well organized and despite the boat not cruising, the agency proposed directly an alternative in hotels. The schedule is perfect, not overwhelming. Many thanks Yasser for your guiding, hospitality and the laughs we had! Translate this opinion into English.

The cruise itself was fantastic. The staff on board were excellent and we really enjoyed our trip. But we felt badly let down in the communication & planning before we boarded. Civitatis partnered with a local company. Between them they failed to provide us with an itinerary or confirm what time we were being picked up which gave us the impression that we were not valued or being cared for. Only after we contacted them several times did things get resolved. A big improvement area

The itinerary is detailed on our website. We're sorry if there was any miscommunication with the supplier.

I give this review because there was additional costs that wasn’t expected, for example the tips that we are forced to do. If the company says that the tips are for the tour guide I am ok with that. But giving 25€ for the people that picked us up on the train station to drive us during 5min to the boat it’s incredible and unacceptable!!! Big thank you to Ahmed the Spanish your guy who is amazing and gave us an incredible experience.

On the website, before making the reservation, in the section "not included", it is specified that tips are not included and that they're €25 per person. We regret that you were not aware of this information.

Positive: good pick up and drop off, food on the boat(s), friendly staff, fabulous places. Negative: boat breakdown, communication on the incident, replacement by bus excursion, not a single apology, no compensation proposed even if drinks first boat were forgotten or left uncharged on purpose (?), fast to racing mode visits to temples and surprisingly long visits to perfumes, spices & other shops... Feeling to have been partially ripped off. Little style in the the general handling.

The ship had some technical problems, so it was necessary to use a bus for a part of the activity. Later the tour continued in a different ship with the same characteristics, along with the appropriate compensation. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

1. 7 days prior to our sailing the name of the 5* superior luxury ship’s name was to be communicated and this was not done. We were taken to the ship Alaxander the Great a significantly inferior ship. When we complained an even more inferior ship was offered. 2. We booked to be with ENGLISH travelers and we were the only about the ship and felt isolated throughout the cruise. 3. On the second day I developed an upset stomach caused by lower ship hygiene and the Greek, Spanish cuisine.

We are sorry about the inconvenience. We have contacted our supplier and they say this ship is of the superior luxury category and that no incident has been registered about it nor the food.

The cruice tour was amazing. Our guide and all the people on board the cruice was absolutelly helpful, simpathical and respectful. The "suposed to exist wifi on-board" was a complete lie from Civitatis, but our tour guides helped us to solve it. Translate this opinion into English.

Good experience so far, the only one issue was the last day transfer to the airport, the taxi arrived 30 min late at the time expected.

Apologies for the delay in the pick up, we'll be more punctual in the future.
