Cairo Tours in May 2027

The whole tour of Egypt was really great in our tour. Director was fantastic so professional he could tell he loved his country so much and he really exuded that love of his country to us and we so enjoyed the whole trip. After that I did the trip to Jordan, which I also enjoyed very much. John Quinlan

We enjoyed this trip immensely. It was truly spectacular. Cons: Hot, hot, hot! Insight did an excellent job of keeping us hydrated. Food on the ship was mediocre at best. Boarding the ships was quite unsatisfactory: no lighting, once in a while a handrail, steep steps, docks unsubstantial, rope hand rails. The ship was very clean and adequately air conditioned. Our tour guide, Mohamed Yussef, was absolutely spectacular! His knowledge was top notch! Egypt seemed safe although the huge military presence with Ak47s was a bit disturbing, especially the two 24/7 outside our hotel. Egypt was also dirty and dusty

Visited all the expected sites as well as some unexpected ones. Cocktails at The Old Cataract Hotel was a treat! I was glad I came in a day early as the first day was a super early start and full of touring. Maybe add a day on the front end of the trip? I was a bit disappointed that at least one dinner out in Cairo wasn't included. With a group of women and the traffic in Cairo none of us were up to venturing out on our own to find a restaurant. A bit disappointing to eat all our meals at the hotel.

The only thing I would change is that the first day - coming right after most people had taken trans-oceanic flights and still had jet lag - was too demanding (flying to Luxor, touring Karnak before checking into ship). It would have been better to have a lighter Day One to allow for rest and time zone adjustment, and do Karnak on the way back. The all-women's tour group and the Tour Director were outstanding and hugely enhanced the experience. Tipping became a constant irritant and would be better if Tour Director handled tips and Insight appropriately raised the package cost, to alleviate that daily chore (ensuring correct currency & denominations, ATM visits, etc.). PS - bring American dollars in small bills. Overall, a fascinating country, knowledgeable and constantly helpful Tour Director, and a good balance of historic and current experiences. Aswan (and the Cataract Hotel) was a definite highlight, and don't pass on Abu Simbel. It is worth the cost; as is the Aswan boat tour of the Nile (two options worth doing).

I had an amazing time with our Wonders of Egypt Tour Women Only Tour with Insight Vacations. From arrival airport transfer to departure transfer, everything was well planned and executed in a professional manner. Our tour guide for the entire trip, was excellent. Very professional, courteous and informative - she gave enough history to educate us but not overwhelm us, loved the way she explained often complicated stories of the myriads of pharaohs & Egyptian gods. She took excellent care of us and was flexible in accommodating our requests to start our excursions early in the morning to beat the heat and crowds which worked out really well as we thoroughly enjoyed our highlight on the last day at Giza with hardly any crowds as we braved the narrow tunnels into the tombs of the pyramid. This Wonders of Egypt-Women Only Tour covered the highlights of Egypt including the wonderful high tea at the famed Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan, the enchanting felucca ride, a visit to an Egyptian family farm , all the mesmerizing ancient monuments, temples plus the awe-inspiring history of the ancient Egypt civilization and Egyptian mythology. This was an absolutely not-to-miss tour!

Incredible experience. Could not fault it. Everything was extremely well planned and organised. Your staff member ? () was incredibly knowledgeable and full of passion he did fantastic!
