The process from finding the tour we wanted to take to getting set up for the tour was an easy process. The other reviews we saw gave us the security of using their website to book our trip. The only item we missed which would have given a 5* was the trip did not include see the Alps up close or a train trip. Well maybe next time there may be one and we would definitely take that trip.

Luxor: Visit the Temple of Amun and the formidable Avenue of the Sphinxes where you can discover the remnants of ancient Thebes.

Valley of the Kings: Discover the ancient history behind the final resting place of Egypt's Pharaohs and Queen Hatshepsut's Temple at the Valley of the Kings.
Kom Ombo: Discover the temple of Kom Ombo and discover the wonders of the duo gods Horus the Elder and Sobek.
Temple of Philae: Enjoy a day filled of wonder at the Temple of Isis.
Cairo: Spend your day enjoying the sights of the Hanging Church of St. Mary or embark on a journey to see the ancient Citadel and the Alabaster Mosque.
Cairo: See Tutankhamun’s treasures on full display at the Grand Egyptian Museum — from gilded beds and chariots to his iconic golden mask. Join an Egyptologist to explore over 100,000 ancient artefacts, including colossal statues, ornate coffins and the world’s oldest prosthetic.
Giza: Enjoy a day gazing at the Great Pyramids of Giza and its treasures - the Step Pyramid of Saqqara and the Colossus of Rames II.
Cairo: Nile cruises emerged in the early 19th century as travellers sought to explore Egypt's ancient wonders by boat. The Nile has always played a crucial role in Egyptian life from the transportation of goods, to enriching wildlife. Take in the cultural and historic significance of the Nile as you drift along the famous river during your overnight cruise.

Cairo: Be mesmerised by the intricate art of Egyptian carpet weaving as you meet the skilled artisans of a local weaving school. This ancient and traditional Egyptian craft is one of the oldest in the country, and only few schools have been safeguarding the traditional weaving methods on wooden looms, using silk and cotton, and natural dyes. More than carpets, they come to life as unique works of art. Your visit directly supports United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11: Resilient Cities and Communities.

The overall experience, level of service, attention to details, array of sites visited, cultural engagement, pacing, and educational talks from our guide were all superior and well above expectations. An excellent value for the experience we were provided. We added one extra day/night on the front end of the trip to add a day trip to see key sites in the ancient city of Alexandria, which I highly recommend.
