点评:My compliments to the services offered by Afro-Asia Tours, who looked after us from the moment we landed in Cairo until our departure a week later. We felt thoroughly pampered — there was always someone available to assist us, from the drivers to the city hosts and the expert Egyptologists assigned to us. The hotels they recommended were of high quality and well located. The entire experience felt like a bespoke private tour, and we never had to join other groups, which made the journey feel very special.
We were initially sceptical about cruising on a Dahabiya rather than one of the larger Nile cruise ships, but the Dahabiya exceeded expectations. It was more intimate, less formal and pleasantly uncrowded, with only 16 passengers on board. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone considering a Nile cruise.
I would have given them a five-star rating except for one disappointing charge made by the company. Although we had not originally requested it, it became clear on our final day that there was time for an unscheduled visit to the pyramids. Naturally this involved extra costs for mileage and the entrance tickets, which we fully expected. However, we were charged an additional $110 for the tour itself even though it did not require additional time from the guide or driver.
My concern is not really about the charge itself, but rather the principle of what felt like an uncalled-for additional charge. Given that we had already booked an eight-day tour through the company, this charge felt unnecessary and somewhat disappointing. It left the impression that, because it was such an important site and difficult to decline, the opportunity was used to add an additional fee rather than simply covering the direct costs involved. This was unfortunate, as it slightly detracted from what was otherwise a very well organised and enjoyable tour.

起初,我们对乘坐达哈比亚小船而非大型尼罗河游轮持怀疑态度,但达哈比亚小船的表现远超预期。它更加私密、轻松,而且船上只有16位乘客,非常舒适。我强烈推荐任何考虑尼罗河游轮之旅的人都选择这种体验。
如果不是因为该公司收取了一笔令人失望的费用,我会给他们五星好评。虽然我们最初并没有要求,但在行程的最后一天,他们突然安排了一次临时参观金字塔的行程。当然,这其中也包括额外的里程费和门票费用,我们对此早有预料。然而,尽管这次游览并没有占用导游或司机额外的时间,我们却被额外收取了110美元的费用。
我真正不满的并非费用本身,而是这种感觉上不必要的额外收费。考虑到我们已经通过这家公司预订了为期八天的行程,这笔费用显得毫无必要,也令人有些失望。这让人感觉,因为这是一个非常重要的景点,难以拒绝,所以他们就借此机会加收额外费用,而不是简单地支付相关的直接成本。这令人遗憾,因为它稍微影响了原本组织得非常出色、令人愉快的旅行体验。
