We went to Cairo Train Station to board the sleeper train to Aswan. Arrived Aswan after breakfast. Visited Philae Temple and Unfinished Obelisks. Then checked in to the Nile Cruise and had lunch. After lunch we visited Nubian Village by boat. Next Day left the cruise early morning with packed breakfast to visit Abu Simbel Temple. On the way back to Nile Cruise we visited the Aswan High Dam too. After lunch sailed to Kom Ombo and visited Temple of Sobek. After dinner in the cruise there was a fascinating dance in the main hall. Next day after breakfast sailed to Edfu. Visited Temple of Horus by horse cart. We really enjoyed the sailing in the cruise from Aswan to Luxor.

If you travel to Egypt, this must be one of your choices to see 7000 years of history, Luxor is the most important city for the history, and basically has been covered under sands and every day is another day of discovery, there is another city underneath. It is amazing that you see more history about Persia, Greek and Roman Empire in Egypt than in their own countries. And the reason is that most have been covered by sands for thousand years - We went there in March 2018 and 44 foreign expeditions were in Luxor and they are still discovering so many hidden treasures. If you like history, you must travel to Egypt, if you don't like history you have to travel to Egypt and I bet you would be interested in history and you go back to find more and understand more. The whole trip is amazing and out of this world!

I was in Egypt for a conference and wanted to spend some time on holiday exploring Egypt with a friend. I booked this trip specifically for the itinerary. However, the tour operator, Middle East Tours changed everything and did not let me know. We were picked up from the train station in Aswan by a tour guide Magdy Big Mac who was wonderful! He was engaging, informative, friendly and an absolute pleasure. His sheer personality made us think this was the beginning of a great 4 day adventure. Please request Big Mac as a tour guide and you will have a fantastic tour. Shout out to Big Mac!!

However, after a truly pleasurable morning with Big Mac, we arrived at the boat and everything changed. We expected to check in, have lunch and begin our afternoon tour of Aswan and a Felucca ride. Instead, the boat left the dock and nothing in our itinerary was the same. Here is a list of what was on the Itinerary and what happened:

Day 1: Visit the High Dam Did this
Unfinished Obelisk Did NOT do this
Philae Temple Did this
Embarkation before lunch
Afternoon Felucca tour around Aswan Islands did NOT do this, VERY disappointing
Overnight in Aswan with opportunity to disembark or optional Sound and Light Show at Philae Temple Nope, the boat left Aswan and we saw nothing of the town or the Sound and Light show.
Kom Ombo we did this which was supposed to be Day 2.

We tried to contact the tour company with no luck. We called La Vacanza Travel and had an expedited situation. We told them our entire tour changed. We could not reach ME Tours either, we had NO idea what Day 2 was or where we were going or what to expect. ME Tours did not bother to call me, email me, text me, Whats app me, absolutely nothing, they completely ignored us until we complained to La Vacanza Travel. La Vacanza Travel also never bothered to follow up with me. Still has not bothered to follow up.

While the boat M/S Emilio was really great, the staff at the front desk was rude and very unhelpful. They claimed they did not have the number for ME Tours. We later learned they did.

Finally, later that night at 10pm we were informed that we would be getting a tour guide for the next day.

Day 2
Sail to Kom Ombo and visit of Kom Ombo Temple Did this Day 1 in afternoon.
Sail to Edfu and visit the Temple of Horus did this.
Our Guide Amal was amazing and incredibly knowledgeable. Please request Amal, I cannot say enough good things about her. She was a real pleasure!
Sailed to Esna in the afternoon not on original itinerary and we had NO guide.
Sail to Luxor Overnight in Luxor

Day 3
Visit the West Bank Valley of the Kings, Temple of Queen Hatshepsut- did this
Colossi of Memnon did NOT do this
Luxor Temple ME Tours added this guide Ghada was very good.
Felucca Ride to Banana Island - ME Tours added this
Overnight in Luxor with opportunity to disembark or optional Sound and Light Show at Karnak

Day 4: Check-out after breakfast

Finally, Heba from ME Tours called and while she did make up the Faluka ride as well as a few other things, which I appreciated, I found her attitude testy and defensive. She also tried to blame miscommunication on our first guide Big Mac. Nothing was his fault.

Overall, I loved the cruise, the boat was beautiful, crew funny and entertaining, the food delicious, and the tour guides were great. However, due to the complete lack of communication and disregard and total change of the itinerary, I will never use La Vacanza Travel or Middle East tours again. Ever. I still have NOT heard back from La Vacanza Travel.
