About Valley of the Kings

We booked the Egypt Nile cruise package through Thrillophilia and the experience was excellent from start to finish. The Egyptologist guide arranged for the Luxor and Aswan sections was outstanding. He spoke fluent English and had a way of making the history feel urgent and relevant rather than like a textbook. Abu Simbel required an early morning flight which Thrillophilia had sorted as part of the itinerary without us having to figure out the domestic connection. The Pyramids of Giza on the first day and the Valley of the Kings on Day 4 were the biggest highlights. Cairo Khan el-Khalili bazaar on the last evening was a wonderful chaotic end to the trip. The team was reachable throughout and responded quickly whenever we had a query. Romba nalla planning from the Thrillophilia team. Would definitely book again.

Our Nile cruise was the most relaxing part of our journey from Kolkata. Seeing the temples of Luxor and Karnak was a dream come true for my history-loving parents. Thrillophilia's planning was impeccable.
