Cairo Explorer Tour Reviews

Anonymous | Traveled in May
Ahmed wisely had us begin our days very early so we could avoid the 100 + degree days (late April) and the heavy crowds. We visited all of the major sites then found balance with serenity on the Nile Cruise. The roof-top deck/pool, the cabins and the food were outstanding. The crew was very attentive to all our needs. The museums were spectacular as were the optional tours/sites. We highly recommend this tour.

The tour guide provided was amazing. The splendor in which he provided the information and involved us as a group made the overwhelming amount of history alot more easier to digest.
Charles Z. | Traveled in May
Exceptional! We saw so much on our trip, far more than we would have even been able to think of seeing, thanks to a great itinerary and an incredible tour guide.
John M. | Traveled in May
It is truly a wonderful experience, but at the same time a truly "educational one"! Our tour director, was exceptional not wasting a moment of any day, pointing out the very significant points of interests, at the same time, taking every part of this significant history in a chronological order. The accomodations and service, both on the boat and in the hotel were five start plus, since we live in the Palm Beaches and use to up-scale adventure, made the "Breakers", look like an outhouse.....need I say more! The value vs the price were evenly matched. As for shopping, once again, significant shops were selected to include, spice, perfumes, and of course jewelry. At the same time educationing you on their wares and how they are used. Like INSIGHT always does, is taking you inside the home of a residemt and demonstrates their current life style and habits, only in this example, demonstrated how bread was made not only for their family, but the entire neighborhood. This trip will certainly standout from most, due to education we received from the extraordinary adventure. Thanks again, and
