Best tour company in Egypt!! (our opinion) - Recently returned from a 10 day tour to Egypt with my Dad and it was AMAZING. Highly recommend checking a visit to Egypt off your bucket list!! Our wonderful experience in large part was thanks to Your Egypt Tours. From the moment we arrived at the Cairo airport and were greeted by Ahmed, to the moment Ahmed saw us back off at the airport, they gave us five star EXCEPTIONAL service and we were well cared for 100% of the time. Each day, we had a nice air conditioned private van, excellent driver (shout out to Johnny in Cairo and Ahmed in Luxor), and without doubt, some of THE BEST Egyptologists. Mamdouh gave us expert tours of Saqqara, Giza, the museums, the mosques, and old Cairo. He was funny, engaging, passionate about teaching us, and ensured we were well taken care of. Ashraf gave us incredible tours of Luxor, Aswan, and along our Nile Cruise stops. Ashraf is the MOST knowledgeable Egyptologist there is in all of Egypt, hands down. (Well, I didn't witness ALL the others in the country... but he has got to be tops, no doubt.) In addition to giving us excellent information about each site we visited, I daily asked him questions about every carving or painting or hieroglyph we came across, and 100% of the time, he knew the answer. I call him Mr. Google, because no matter what I asked, he had the answer. He was incredible. His potential is well beyond simply giving my Dad and myself tours... He should be teaching at University or be on documentaries. We felt extremely lucky to have him and I highly recommend you choose Your Egypt Tours for numerous reasons, top of which is Ash. Beyond that, Ash and Mamdouh are both genuinely great people. Mona is the person you communicate with in planning the trip, and in addition to the rave reviews I had read online about the company, my interactions with her were what sold me on booking with them. She was always prompt, professional, and extremely kind. The owner of the company checked in with us prior to the tour and mid-tour to make sure we were doing well. My Dad had to change his travel plans departing from Cairo, and their team was extremely kind in helping arrange a few more nights there and another transport to the airport. Tips: 1.) Initially I had booked a group tour with National Geographic, however could not find many reviews of them online and instead found outstanding reviews of this company and they offer private tours for less cost, so I changed. Our private tour allowed us to spend as much time as wanted in each site, and to adjust our itinerary as we pleased. It was perfect! 2.) Initially I was a bit worried that there was too much downtime in our itinerary, but it actually was needed! It was a bit exhausting visiting all the sites, so a bit of down time actually turned out nice. You can always add things while you are there if you are feeling spry/wanting more. 3.) Factor in a bit extra money for tips throughout the trip. There was quite a bit of tipping throughout, always at your own discretion and not obligatory. 4.) Egypt felt very safe and friendly throughout our stay. The tragic conflict between Hamas and Israel started while we were there on our tour, causing our family members back home to panic, but there in Egypt, we both felt very safe the entire time. I would encourage people to still go to Egypt (at least as things currently stand) as their country is safe and lovely. 5.) Prior to going, I read traveler blogs and reviews talking about aggressive salesmen constantly hounding foreigners. While yes, there are salespeople at all the tourist spots and they are desperate to make a living, my experience was that they were for the most part all respectful and good sports. Simply say "no thank you" (sometimes a few times) and it is all good. I also started giving in when realizing that often what they are selling costs only one dollar and it makes a huge difference to them. Overall, Your Egypt Tours was an OUTSTANDING company, I am extremely grateful for their kindness and exceptional service, and I would give them, and Egypt, my highest recommendation. The remains of Ancient Egypt are definitely worth seeing in person!

The experience of a lifetime! - It may sound a cliche, but going to Egypt was a dream and "Your Egypt Tours" made it real. There is so much I can tell about my experience in Egypt and by using the services of "Your Egypt Tours", but I would like to keep it as short as possible with some information that could be useful for other travelers that could be trying to decide if visiting Egypt is worth the effort, time and money (short answer, it definitely is): 1. It is safe to go to Egypt, I want to stress this as much as possible, it is very safe to visit Egypt. Never while I was there I felt in danger or I saw something that would make me feel nervous or worried, nor for me or for other tourists on other tours even with other companies, take regular precautions, be informed, but it is definitely safe. 2. Book a tour like this to avoid scams or hustlers. While you read reviews or watch videos, you may get a wrong idea around this topic, yes it can be bad, they can be very insistent, the best way to avoid this problem is to have a team of professionals around you at all times, and believe me, this is "Your Egypt Tours", I never suffered from this problem, getting in and out from touristic places was smooth and fast. 3. Likely you will still want to do some shopping, I would say, you must do some. Once again you will be with a team of professionals, if you do not want to spend much on souvenirs, make sure you talk about this to your Egyptlogist guide, they take you to the right places. If what you want is quality (I was particularly happy with my cotton based stuff), once again, they will take you to the right places, but of course, prices will be higher. 4. I will probably recommend traveling on September, still some large crowds, but I can only assume that less people than in winter time, it is hot, but I would say it is manageable. That is all above general recommendations. Regarding "Your Egypt Tours", I do not want to mention the names of the Egyptologists guides that were with me in fear of missing someone, but it was a team with deep knowledge of Egypt, probably many of my questions where naive or came from total ignorance, but they answered everything I asked, they shared so much information and even provided suggestions for added activities to the tour originally booked and all of them were wonderful experiences. But this is a team, there are some people I never met that handled all the booking, which was nice and easy and they accommodated my requests easily and then others like the drivers that, once again, a team of professionals that know how to get from one place to another on a very comfortable transportation with AC, which is pretty much mandatory with the weather, so you just get worried about what is going to be exciting on the next visit. And if that is not all, there was always someone that got me from/to airports, such and incredible service and team. Egypt is full of wonders, of course you want to see the great pyramids up close, specially if you can do it at sunset, same as the Luxor temple, or a visit to a Nubian village if you have the time. And there is nothing that can prepare you to see the temples of Abu Simbel, if you can do this tour, trust "Your Egypt Tours" and enjoy a fantastic trip.

Exceptional! - I can't thank Your Egypt Tours enough for making my first experience to Egypt so positive. From the customer service to the top-notch tour guides, I felt very taken care of. Booking: They were so accommodating when helping me find the right package. I booked only a couple of weeks out and they were very flexible as I needed to make changes along the way. Safety: I was a woman traveling alone and of course my biggest concern going was safety. I felt very safe at all times. Someone from the team always escorted me everywhere and there was always a driver waiting in an air-conditioned van with water during the sight-seeing experiences. Tour guides: Both of my tour guides-- Taha and Ashraf-- were so knowledgeable and excited to share with me. They were also really kind and fun people to be around. *I also enjoyed Ahmed, who wasn't my tour guide but helped me with checking into places. I'm so grateful to this company for making my dream of visiting Egypt a reality and for treating me with such care. Thank you!

Egypt with Kids - We are a family of 4, 2 children aged 7 and 12. While it was a very active and at times tiresome tour, it couldn’t have been better organized!!!! From the airport pickup to sites and tour guides, everything was superb. Ahmed planned our vacation and was very responsive and accommodating. Taha was our guide in Cairo and he was amazing! As well as Ash who spent the rest of the time with us! Perfect English, very knowledgeable and professional! The minivan and drivers were great too! Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our experience!

Cannot Wait to Return to Egypt with Your Egypt Tours - Thanks to Your Egypt Tours, we will never forget our amazing journey through the beautiful and mysterious country of Egypt!

one word: WOW!!!!!! - Peter, Ahmed, Mona, Taha, Ash, Adel and everyone who helped this trip become a safe and successful bday trip have all been wonderful, knowledgable, and so kind hearted and understanding as well accommodating to any inconveniences experienced... I loved it and can't wait to return for round 2!

Best Girls Trip! - I went with some girlfriends and we had the most amazing time! All of our guides were amazing. Ask for Ash if you are going to Ashwan/Luxor.. he’s great, very informative! I’m Cairo we had Peter and Taha, who are also very informative! Taha is also very funny! Both Ash and Taha are very educational and the history of Egypt was so fascinating — I definitely learned a lot. The whole team is great at communicating and takes care of all of your needs! Our whole vacation was very private and we all enjoyed it very much (instead of touring with a whole tour group on a bus). We never stressed about anything as everything was taken care for us, and they were great at responding quick when I had questions. They also inform you on who’s coming to get you from different airports, instead of saying someone will be out front holding your a sign with your name. When we arrived we had a few people from Your Tour Egypt help us with getting our Visa’s and etc. It was the most relaxing and stress free vacation. I cannot wait to come back to Egypt and use Your Egypt Tours! Also recommend doing the food tour with Peter when you’re in Cairo, we loved all the local dish’s. Also highly recommend doing the white desert, it was beautiful and a once in a life time opportunity!

Amazing tour company - I used this companyin2014 once they were outstanding and so professional. I am coming back in mid January for another tour of beautiful eygpt . had lots of questions and concerns they honestly hands down are the best company I have ever used ,and I have travelled the world . They are patient , professional , and very kind. Mona the person I was corresponding answered all my questions and did not lose her nerves because I am very picky with my iternary . She is a big assets to the company ,The owner I called was amazingly also kind , nice and professional. It’s hard to please me and they get 6 stars for doing it. If you want to go to eygpt for a tour used this company their reviews say something about them. Honest , reliable. And get the job done efficiently and explain everything . If you go to eygpt I strongly recommend them.

Trip of a Lifetime . Don't let Covid 19 keep you home - This was the trip of a lifetime!! I am so very happy we did not let Covid 19 keep us home. Most of Europe is locked down but Egypt is open to tourism. They are taking all the necessary precautions to protect travelers. Masks are mandatory. The guides wear them, the drivers, everyone connected with the tour company is masked. All personal at the tourist sites are masked, hand sanitizer is readily available. The hotels are taking extra care in sanitizing rooms. Temperatures were checked. We rode camels in the Sahara desert, floated over the Valley of Kings in a hot air ballon, visited all the important ancient temples and tombs. Every small detail was handed by the tour company. They treated us like royalty. The Egyptian people welcomed us as Americans to their country. Smiles and thumbs up for USA. The best part of having a guide constantly with you was their knowledge base on ancient Egyptology. The guides were able to tell us the meaning of the hieroglyphics and the incredible paintings in the tombs and temples.

Amazing adventure - Your Egypt Tours , gave my 21 year old daughter and myself a trip never to forget . They insured everything ran smoothly, and with their expert guides showed us the treasures of this amazing country, At all times we felt safe and I long to return .
