Aswan Boat Tours, Water Sports and Marine Wildlife 2019/2020

“I enjoyed my Nile Adventure with Timeless. From the pick up to the drop off all was organized and flowed well. I particularly liked Aswan and Hurghada. Ramez was a great Egyptologist and enjoyed his work. I loved the group that I was in and my highlight of the tour was the Felucca minus the Mosquitoes :-) With regards to the lunches, where you have no alternative but to be with the group, prepare about 150 - 200 Egyptian Pounds per meal, you will have like 3 or 4 of this. With regards to the Mandatory Tips and Entrance fees, by our time it was 2,040 Egyptian Pounds. For the guide there is a recommended 70 to 100 Egyptian Pounds per day. If you like a nice cold beer, make sure you enjoy plenty of Egyptian Stella Beer and lots of it. Shopping center at Basma, good prices. When you see something nice during the many stops, please buy, waiting for Khan El Khalili may disappoint you and you may also miss some of the items you saw being sold at a bargain. Just haggle and get the best price for it. Have a positive attitude and brace yourselves for a great time. I would definitely travel with Timeless again and recommend Ramez as your guide”

“Egypt is one of those places which truly amaze and confound even seasoned travelers with its unbelievable ancient sites and unforgettable culture, despite the glaring poverty which seemingly surrounds and swallows up nearly everything and everyone in the country. Some would have questioned my sanity to bring four young children to Egypt when some areas still remain off limits to travelers due to possible terrorist activity. Given all of these concerns why and how did we visit this amazing country of Egypt you may ask. Why, that's simple, its a cradle of civilization and for learned people a once in a lifetime destination not to be missed, simple as that. How, well... it could have been done differently no doubt, but I am very happy to say that I used a well known and highly capable local tour company in Egypt named Ramasside based in Alexandria at its head office. They took what I wanted to see, my budget, and applied the local knowledge required and essential to ensure that the trip would be safe, hassle free, and memorable. They did a fine job on this long 16 day trip across Egypt including visits to Cairo, Giza, Saqqara, Luxor, Aswan, Hurgada, and Alexandria. Some of the many highlights included cruising the Nile in a ship and visiting ancient ruins saved from the flooding of Lake Nasser (Abu Simbel). A brief respite from the sightseeing midway through the trip at the lovely and truly perfect family resort of Steinberger Aqua Magic in Hurgada recharged our batteries before diving back into the amazing scenery of Lower Egypt after a packed trip to Upper Egypt. The guides and drivers all did their absolute best to ensure we were always safe and that the children had extra time if needed such as to accommodate an extra trip to the WC or a quick nap in-amongst the sightseeing. At no time did we ever feel unsafe or unwelcome during our trip to Egypt, and on the contrary were made to feel very welcome by everyone we met be it in the street, at the hotel, in a restaurant, in the bazaar, etc etc. The truth is, you could spend a year in Egypt and only scratch the surface of what the country offers travelers, but for our family and budget we feel that our 16 day full tour of Egypt was exceptional in the quality, breadth and value offered by the Ramasside tour, and I deeply thank them for this life changing trip to Egypt. I only hope that I have the means and health to visit again in the future to this amazing country, and when I do, I will be sure to use Ramasside tours once again. I hope this helps anyone contemplating taking on the Egypt trip with young children, best of luck!”

“Our tour of Egypt was amazing from start to finish. We really appreciated all help you provided in planning and customizing the tour to our desires. We found your staff very helpful throughout, expediting our passage through customs to get a the visa, and making sure travel from hotel and between sites was easy. Each guide provided was an expert and helped us gain a greater appreciation for both the history of ancient Egypt and the people of modern Egypt. We saw so many incredible things and learned so much about your country. I do hope to visit again sometime in the future.”
