The transfer by the tour operator "Luna travel" was perfect. Excellent communication prior to departure, great driver, polite, friendly, very good and professional driver. On the cruise side also everything was good but duration of the trip was about 1 hour and 15 minutes only. This meant a very compact schedule including very quick buffet dinner and long queue of the passengers. But soon the buffet was closed and they had to quickly clean up the place for next cruise. The entertainment was also good with several performances but again the time was too short. In a normal restaurant for a relaxed evening dinner you would need at least 2 hours to enjoy the food and the evening but this was just too short. Overall it was a great experience and the highlight of this activity was the transfer from and to the hotel. Thank you.

Me and friend thoroughly enjoyed the crystal dinner cruise . The meal,the setting,the boat and welcome was top class. The entertainment was more exciting to watch especially the whirling dervish was brilliant. Food was the best i had in Egypt with as much as you like for your fill. Thankyou to the staff, cooks, servers, captain, musicians, entertainers and all who made this a memorable evening. It didn't seem long enough on the lovely Nile

Good experience overall. The only annoying part was the traffic getting to the pier, but once onboard it’s all smooth. Staff were attentive and the entertainment was lively. I’d say the desserts are a bit basic, but the drinks menu is solid. Go for the view, stay for the dancing.
