Our first cruise - amazed and delighted! Wonderful helpful staff, interesting food - some local, very fresh. Guide knowledgeable and witty.
Informal atmosphere, no collar-and-tie.
Organisation of trips impeccable. Woderful sights. Kitcheners Garden fabulous, as well as all the ancient sites.
Abu Simbel tour overpriced.
vendors pester you, but freeze them out as our guide advised.
Expect to get King Tut Gut - take Immodium with you, and antiseptic gel after handling money etc.
Do find Luxor Museum -it's brilliant.
NB Take small coins of any currency for toilets and nick-nacks.
