This itinerary was a great way to see all the highlights Egypt has to offer. Along with a fantastic Tour Director this is the perfect trip for anyone interested in the history. Part of the itinerary was a cruise on the Nile. The ship and crew were fantastic and it was easily one of my favorite parts. With daily stops and chances to bond with other Travellers it was so much fun.
This Trafalgar tour includes both ancient history and current day industry. It was very interesting to see how they make different items today in Egypt.
The food provided with the itinerary was great, options for everyone.
I highly recommend this itinerary.
All the options were excellent. The local guides walked at a slow pace giving us time to take pictures. Our guide Alfonso and our driver Tito were great. We would take a tour with them anytime

Amazing variety of experiences, excellent tour guide and local specialists. I also loved that Trafalgar supports local artists and family run farms. A highlight for me was the Make Travel Matter experience with the weavers.
This was an absolutely exceptional experience from start to finish. The team was fantastic throughout the entire journey incredibly professional, easy to work with, and always willing to go the extra mile.
What truly stood out was their flexibility. Anytime we wanted to make adjustments or add something last-minute, they made it happen smoothly and without stress.
Their guides and drivers were not only extremely knowledgeable, but also warm, welcoming, and passionate about sharing their country’s rich history and culture.
