Egypt Guided Tours

The 7 nights on the cruise ship was fantastic meaning we didn’t have to pack and move hotels too often. We really lucked in with our fantastic tour guide Mohamed Rekaby. His expertise and knowledge was outstanding and added huge value to our experience. He had the most respectful, calm and friendly speaking voice. It was a pleasure to tour with him. The staff on board the ship were fun and obliging. Food was very good on board. The cabin and public areas of the ship were well maintained.

Mohamed Rekaby exceeded our expectation of our trip to Egypt. We were overwhelmed by his knowledge, pride and compassion for his culture, traditions and people.. I journaled most nights to capture the information that he so freely shared with us about the temples, museums, mosque, religion, etc. We have already given your contact information to some family members and friends. We highly recommend this journey to Egypt.

The itinerary was inclusive of all the monuments I wanted to see. The Nile River Cruise was fantastic.. the crew was very attentive, the food was delicious Our guide Amira was an extraordinary person and everyone enjoyed her guidance.

Perfect itinerary that packed a lot in and also allowed downtime in afternoons before dinner or other activities. Our guide Amira, was also an Egyptologist and she was a wealth of information. I recommend staying 2 or 3 nights before or after tour for extra activities at Cairo Museums and Alexandria that Trafalgar organise. The tour itself was 2 nights Cairo, 7 on Nile and 2 in Cairo, so no need to continually change hotels etc

The first downfall was not being able to tip prior to the trip. I felt like we were tipping every single day, multiple times a day. I would also recommend that as a traveler you always have small bills on you, as you have to pay to use the restroom - EVEN inside of the museums you have already paid to go into. You have to get a Visa when you enter the country - do not stress! You can easily do this at the airport for $25USD. The trip itself was wonderful. I traveled as a single female and never felt uncomfortable. I enjoyed traveling from the North to South of Egypt. I think that the optional trip to Abu Simbel was nice, but defiantly not worth the money and time spent traveling (by multiple planes). The museums, Nile cruise, home visit were all amazing! Egypt is defiantly a country to see!

This was a bucket list trip for me and it did not disappoint. As a single traveler I always felt safe and secure. All of the Trafalgar team operated flawlessly with all of the transfers, optional experiences, etc. The Nile Cruise was wonderful and the crew and food were awesome. Our tour guide/egyptologist Ramadan was full of knowledge, facts and dates flowed from him. I enjoyed all the museums too. I will treasure this experience and book future trips with Trafalgar.
