We have just returned from a week's Nile cruise on the boad Da Vinci booked via 'African Safari Club'. I can not fault the holiday in any way and it was extremely good value. Superb food, wonderful, knowledgeable tour guides, beautiful clean boat and lovely cabins. There was plenty to do even if you didn't take any of the extra trips. Even our kids, 9 and 16 had the time of their lives.

What a fantastic holiday! Although we were looking forward to our Nile cruise, we did not expect to be blown away by it as we were. It was incredible seeing all the ancient sites that we had previously only read about or seen on TV and to get so close to everything was amazing. The history was brought to life for us by our brilliant guide who was a wonderful teacher - both interesting and amusing.

The MS Da Vinci and its crewe and staff were also great - myself and my daughter had been slightly concerned because we both get sea sick, but I can honestly say we never felt the boat move or bump the banks, even when docking and going through Esna lock.

The reception, retaurant, cleaning and bar staff were all helpful and pleasant - everything ran smootghly and on time. I need a gluten-free diet and I was looked after very well by the chefs.

Last, but not least, our tour leader was brilliant. He was really good fun and helpful and also very well organised - so many people to get to so many places and not a single hitch.

I had a very good trip with the African Safari Club, M.S. Da Vinci. More day time cruising would have been very nice, but then there would have been less time for trips. Yes would recommend
