Cairo Explorer Tour Reviews
Guest reviews from travelers on Explorer tours in and around Cairo
Haj | Traveled in October
I taught ancient Egyptian history to high school students and this trip was a realisation of my dream to visit Egypt and see the ancient monuments. Explore did a magnificent job in all aspects, hotels, transfers airline bookings etc. Our group leader was Mohamed Osama, was the catalyst in making this tour an absolute pleasure. His knowledge as an Egyptologist was second to none, and his people skills were equally great. Will I recommend this tour to anyone. A resounding YES!
Sara | Traveled in October
Lots to see and do. Don't expect much down time especially if you do the optional extras. But it's worth it. The red sea extension was great to relax at the end.
Anonymous | Traveled in October
If you want to hit the ground running this fast-moving classical tour of in Ancient Egyptian history is for you. You'll cover much of the country, visiting more than a dozen iconic locations. Many important temples, tombs, pyramids, museums and other sites are included or offered as extras. There are also options to meet modern Egyptians and immerse in their culture. Time spent on the Nile cruise, felucca boat trips and in a hot air balloon give exhilarating opportunities to catch your breath and provide other unmissable perspectives.
Ann | Traveled in October
Fantastic trip, covered all the areas I was interested in. The organisation of Mohammed ( tour guide) made everything go superbly. The consideration of the heat, timing, advice, expert knowledge and great sense of humour just put the icing on the cake. The accommodation and food were good too. I've travelled with Explore before and will again, highly recommend 👌 👍
Jacqueline | Traveled in October
Sleeper train was an experience! It was basic but fun but working lights and a cupboard door that shut would have been nice! No reflection on Explore, it is what it is.
Evelyn | Traveled in October
This was our first group tour experience as we've been independent travellers for many years. The itinerary was excellent with each site an absolute marvel to behold. The group size of 11 was great, the organization and ground transportation was also great. Our guide Mohamed was exceptional and could easily pivot plans to optimize our experience each day. He is an expert in Egyptian history and archaeology. He was also extremely hospitable and a great ambassador for his home country.
