Cairo, Alexandria & Luxor Visit And Nile River Cruise

What can I say...this tour was amazing. Never thought I'd see the sights I saw on this trip, never thought any of this would be possible in my lifetime. Egypt seemed too far, too exotic, too expensive. As soon as I saw the listing for this tour, it suddenly seemed like it might be possible. We had reservations about going for sure. We have kids, 10 and 13. There's a war in Israel. It's summer in a very hot part of the world. Do we need Yellow Fever vaccines? Will the food make us sick? Americans kept telling us it would be too dangerous to go. None of that turned out to be a problem. Egypt was very very safe. There are police and military personnel on the streets and at cultural sites. I saw no crime, no people sleeping on the streets. No people panhandling. Going to ATMs to get cash was very safe and easy. We went everywhere from big tourist sites to small neighborhoods. Food was great and we never got sick. We didn't drink the tap water, but bottled water and soft drinks are everywhere. It was hot, but air conditioning, pools, and headscarves manage this. I'll say this again, because I have heard a lot about this: Egypt is safe. It's kind. It's welcoming. People are excited that you're visiting from America. The food is great, and safe. The hotels were amazing: Steigenberger in Giza is clean, beautiful, has a nice restaurant with free breakfast, and has a view of the pyramids, which is pretty wild. Movenpick in Aswan is spectacular, taking up a large portion of an island in the middle of the Nile, with pools and sustainable farms on-site. The Jaz cruise up the Nile was really nice, with good food and comfortable quarters. The Continental hotel in Hurghada was seriously ridiculously lavish, with a private beach on the Red Sea, giant pool, a dozen restaurants, and a shopping corridor. And the Ramses Hilton in Cairo is clean, elegant, and right in the middle of the action of downtown Cairo. We saw a million places from ancient Egypt I never thought we'd see. I can't overstate how incredible it is to stand in front of the Sphinx, the pyramids of Giza, Luxor temple, Kom Ombo, and especially the incredible monuments at Abu Simbel...this is an optional extra tour, and a bit expensive, as it's a whole day trip, but my goodness, it's worth the long drive. Incredible. Overall, this trip had probably the most OMG moments I've had on a trip. And I've been to some pretty spectacular places, including India, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Peru (Machu Picchu), the UK, and more. Please trust me and take the trip. Ignore the warnings. It's so worth it.

My husband Peter and I Lili had a marvelous time in Egypt organized by local travel specialists. From the moment we arrived at Cairo airport everything was taken care of (the visa, transfers, tour guides, drivers, 5 star hotels, tours). It was a private tour for the 2 of us in air conditioned cars or vans. The tour guides Sara in Cairo, Mohamed Salama in Alexandria, and Zakaria in Luxor were excellent. All in all our trip was amazing. Thanks Nada and Omar for organizing it.

I can certify that this tour operator is a genuine, very organized and excellent company tour! I did a 15 day tour by myself through this company and every aspect was ver well organized and perfect! When I was searching for a company tour to help me with my trip, the reviews where very important, so I had to leave mine here! If it is your first time in Egypt, I highly suggest that you go with the help of a company. Egypt is not a country that you can easily get by on your own. I did Cairo, Alexandria, Aswan, Nile cruise and Luxor. The tour company took care of booking the hotels (all of them where very good), the transportation (to and from the airports, hotels and attractions - all the drivers where great, friendly and the cars where very nice) and the guides (all very friendly and knowledgeable!). It was a fantastic experience. Visit Egypt was long time dream for me so my expectations where high, and this company did not fail! If you have any questions about my experience, I would by happy to help!

We booked the 8 day tour package and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Thanks to Tarek, our tour guide, we felt like natives and navigated Egypt with no problems at all. Highly recommendits well worth the money!

Amazing communication process After using this company where we had Mimo as a guide and Ahmed as our driver, both were excellent,
