An All-Inclusive Egyptian Adventure - If you’re short on time but want to experience Egypt’s top sights, this tour is ideal. From the Pyramids and the Nile cruise to the Valley of Kings and Alexandria, every stop was packed with history and culture. The Nile cruise gave us the perfect opportunity to relax and unwind while still seeing amazing temples and monuments. Alexandria’s library was one of the highlights, and Hurghada’s beaches were a great escape after all the sightseeing. The transportation was seamless, the accommodations were first-class, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants a comprehensive Egypt experience.

The Best Way to Experience Egypt - This 12-day journey through Egypt was absolutely incredible. We started by visiting the Pyramids and then moved on to explore the temples in Luxor. The Valley of Kings was as awe-inspiring as I had imagined, and Alexandria’s famous library was a fascinating stop on our journey. The Nile cruise was the highlight, giving us plenty of time to relax and take in Egypt’s stunning views. Hurghada was the perfect place to unwind by the sea after several busy days of sightseeing. The guides were wonderful, ensuring we had the best possible experience at every site.

Egypt, a magical trip. - My recent trip to Egypt was nothing short of magical. Egypt’s rich culture and incredible history have left a lasting impression, and the warmth and hospitality of the people made it even more special. A heartfelt thank you to Hassan for customising the entire trip for us and thanks to the tour guides and his team for making the journey so amazing!

Fun and full 12 days in Egypt - We had a lovely 12 day tour in Egypt organised by Hassan. Starting off in Cairo we explored and even did some extra activities that were easily organised. Gaber and Laila took care of there with lots of knowledge and care. Next we relaxed on for days on a nice Nile cruise boat with exceptional food while Hassan took us to the included Temples and enlightened us with his knowledge about them (and jokes too). For a very affordable price everything was looked after well and we had a lovely time in Egypt seeing many many things. Definitely recommend this tour to others, especially for groups.

Awesome Egyptian History Tour! - Overall, we had a decent experience. However, it should be noted that a great deal of credit goes to the guides and drivers who enhanced our travel experience, including the organizers. To the guides Ismail and Ahmed, thank you for your punctuality, your organizational skills and for passing on your passion for Egyptian heritage and your wealth of knowledge. It was efficient and optimal. Special thanks to Ahmed for taking care of our patients and for his humor. Keep smiling (5/5) as you embody the spirits of the pharaohs. Your explanations were clear. Good luck with your phd if that's the case. For the drivers: Many thanks for your punctuality. Also, a special thanks to Mohammed for always keeping up his great energy. For the hotel: 3/5. Rooms not clean, lacked water. Stagnant water. Food: 4/5. For the cruise: 3/5. Lacked entertainment, despite the shows. The food was good and varied: 4/5 Rooms: 4/5 One aspect that could be improved is knowing in advance about optional excursions. It was a bit last-minute and we had little information and little time to decide whether or not to do them. Especially as these were considerable additional costs. As for the rest, I recommend the agency without fail. Thank you for your support and follow-up during our stay. I wish you continued success. Carlos, Nesrine and Aicha

Rushed tours and hidden expenses - Throughout this entire tour there was a distinct and frustrating lack of communication, with us not knowing what we were doing or who we would be with on almost a daily basis. Because of this we found ourselves paying to fill days of ‘free time’ which we believed to be included from the advertisement. In Cairo/ Giza we were very fortunate to have a wonderful tour guide called Laila who was passionate, informative and who went the extra mile to give us the best experience possible. I cannot reccomend her enough and she truly made the experience for us! However, the hotel we stayed in fell very short of the 4 star rating. We had no hot water for the first day despite multiple people coming to the room and assuring us they had fixed it while we were out, only for us to find no difference. Eventually they agreed to change us rooms however we then had to change again when the bathroom door of our new room was also broken and refused to open. We finally had a new room with functioning doors and hot water but no pyramid view (ultimately unimportant) however again not what was advertised or paid for. The staffs attitude ranged from uncaring to arrogance and even borderline bullying behaviour to all guests not just ourselves and while this was not everyone, courtesy was by far the exception than the rule. On our Nile Cruise, the reason for booking this trip, our experience was of bitter diappointment. While the ship itself was clean, kindly staffed and very accomodating . The entire experience was overshadowed by a guide whose only care was making some extra cash and doing the bare minimum. At every one of the magnificent temples we visited we were rushed around with no explanations and very little time to appreciate or explore where we were. Any information that was given was vague and very often simply wrong, while any questions were dismissed or answered in direct contradiction to prior knowledge and what other guides were saying around ourselves. Our days consisted of crammed mornings visiting up to 4 sites before lunch and empty afternoon, which could be filled for a fee of course! One thing our guide did not mind rushing was the constant sales pitches and trips to ‘experiences’ that were nothing more than scams to get you to pay more money. All the while we were repeatedly reminded that ‘the guides tips are not included’ and when that time came rather than approaching it courteously instead it was a knock at the door one evening and an outstretched hand ‘you have something for me!’ On our way return trip we had a night in Luxor at a 5 star hotel, while looking very enticing on paper the reality was an expensive and pointless add on as we arrived late in the evening, left early in the morning on the next leg of our journey and felt the whole experience was wasted and just an excuse to up the overall price. And for the cherry on top of an Egyptian experience, a resort full of screaming children, booming music and low quality very non Egyptian food. If you wish to experience the sites and history of Egypt this tour is not for you.
