This year we sailed on the Seabourn Quest (Maiden World Cruise) and two of our stops were in Egypt. So what to do? The ships excursions are always soooooooo expensive and large so, we called our friend Hazem, owner of Blue Nile, and told him, seeing that he had handled our excursions in Egypt for the years 2008, 2010, 2011...

My husband and I were on a Norwegian Jade cruise stopped at Port Said, Egypt. We hired Nile Blue Excursions (www.nileblueexcursions.com) for a one-day tour of the Pyramids and Nile River Cruise. The Nile Blue Co. provided a comfortable air conditioned van, a wonderful English tour guide named Mohamed, and an excellent driver named Eimen. My husband and I were... More

There were 12 reviews on site, all pretty favorable. But then when I looked at the website for a trip between Port Said and Alexandria, it didn't make sense geographically. I called this to the attention of NilebBlue Excursions, and to their credit they said they would fix it. I asked for a private itinerary. They gave me a bare... More

Our first adventure with Hazem and Ghada, owners of the company and our wonderful escorts, was for an overnight off the Star Princess . They picked up 100 of us in Port Said and our buses caravaned into Cairo. We visited Saquara, a rug factory, Giza, the National Museum, took a Nile lunch cruise, and had a wonderful night at... More

"Nile Blue is Outstanding! We have used Nile Blue for shore excursions to Luxor and Cairo in 2008, 2010, and 2011, and have found them to be truly outstanding. The first time, my husband and I chose to book individual tours, while the next two times our groups ranged from 4 to 12 persons. We had a wonderful experience in... More

We spent two days (one in Cairo and one in Alexandria) on a private tour with Nile Blue and Rehab our guide. They arranged averything at our request, including a lunch with our local friends in Cairo. The Cairo day was long, but they returned us safely to the ship to start the next day in Alexandria. Our guide was... More

This is an extremely unprofessional operation. Our tour guide (Osama) was great but dealing with this company is a nightmare. We did the overnight Cairo tour and were booked to stay at the Le Meridien Giza (which is one of the three hotels they choose from for you to stay). There were numerous problems with the hotel and when I... More

Nile Blue Excursions gave a wonderful overnight tour for four of us in November. We were picked up in Port Said, overnighted at the beautiful Mena Oberoi Hotel in Giza, and were returned the following day to our port in Alexandria. Not only was this company responsive, efficient, and well priced, their tour was excellent. I would highly recommend Nile... More

Just came back from a trip for 9 nights (3 on Nile Cruise) of Egypt & were very happy with our guide, a young woman who has a Master Degree in Egyptian History. We usually start very early to avoid the heat and the crowd. Visited the Luxor Temple at sunset, very crowded, but amazingly beautiful. The guide told us... More
