My wife and I love to explore locations we’ve never visited before and the Egyptian Nile was at the top of our list. Viking made our visit to Egypt and the trip down the Nile one of the best vacations we ever had. The ship staff were ALL very friendly and professional. The meals on board were excellent and the guided tours top-notch!! Both tour guides had degrees in Egyptology and made all tours both fun and informative. Our favorite sites were the temples of Karnak and Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. The nighttime guided tour of the temple of Isis at Philae was very cool too. The musical score and the scripted narration added a whole new level to this excursion. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give Viking a solid 12!! We will definitely cruise with Viking again because they live up to their advertisements with the service and experience they provide!
