Egypt Nile Adventure with Felucca Cruise

Very comprehensive history by guide

My idea of visiting Egypt was just to see the Pyramids and the Sphinx, bucket list items. However on this trip I uncovered that Egypt is so much more than just that. The temples are beautiful and are not spoken about enough in order to attract more tourists. Wonderful experience.

The tour was wonderful, packing in so many beautiful places in limited time. Egypt is a vast country with such a rich history that it would be impossible to try to do absolutely everything, with that said the tour really does a great job of showing all of the amazing sights Egypt has to offer. Well worth it with the Nile Cruise and all-inclusive resort stops, so much good food and great amenities. The tour leader was knowledgeable and kept us educated on the sights and Egyptian culture.

Excellent!

We chose the Felucca adventure and had a great time! Our tour leader George Basher was knowledgeable, kind and most accommodating! What started out as 11 strangers and ended as a Yalla family of 11!! We learned so much from this trip about Egypt, it's history and culture! Highly recommended! Thanks George!!

We spent 9 days covering a majority of the county of Egypt and touched on all of the major sites. Plus so many other things in between. Our guide, George Basher, was excellent. The itinerary was very organized as well. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone, especially if George is their tour leader.

This tour covered everything I wanted to see in Egypt, from all the ancient sites to the Red Sea. It was a fantastic and effortless way to experience the best of Egypt and George, our guide, was excellent.

You get a local Egyptologist who walk you through the history of Egypt. The transport was fine, on time and clean. The itinerary was the expected and the people are really nice.

I recently embarked on a birthday trip to Egypt organized by Expat Explore and I cannot express how truly exceptional this experience was. Covering almost the entirety of ancient Egypt in just 9 days, our journey was a perfect blend of cultural immersion and thrilling activities. Our cruise on the Nile river aboard a traditional felucca provided a unique and authentic experience. Exploring ancient temples, snorkeling in the Red Sea, and the highlight of my childhood dreams – going inside Tutankhamun's tomb – added an adventurous touch to the trip. A significant highlight of the tour was our remarkable tour leader, Mina. His profound knowledge and evident love for his country added depth to every historical site we visited. Beyond being an expert guide, he went above and beyond, offering valuable tips and even lending us cash when needed. His warmth and generosity created a welcoming atmosphere that contributed to our tour group feeling like a little family, perhaps due to us bonding overnight on the felucca – a shared laughter echoed through our journey. I've made friends for life, and we've already made plans to stay in touch and visit each other in our home countries. On the night of my birthday, Mina, our tour organizer, orchestrated a delightful surprise. The restaurant baked a cake, and the entire group joined in singing happy birthday. The thoughtful gift of a papyrus painting featuring my star sign and name in hieroglyphics added a personal touch to the celebration. While the trip was a dream come true, the only aspect I didn't plan well for was the intensity of the schedule. The packed itinerary left little room for relaxation. However, the overall experience, enriched by the amazing destinations and the wonderful people I encountered, surpassed any initial concerns about the pace. Thank you Expat Explore for crafting such a memorable and immersive travel experience. I cannot wait to explore more destinations with you soon :)

It was an amazing experience

My friend and I booked this trip as a gift for our birthdays. We had a blast, from learning the culture to the ancient history and visiting all the historical places I've always dreamed for. Our tour guide Mina was amazing, such a caring and accommodating person, he made us feel safe and shared his passion with us. It was a great experience that I would recommend to anyone. Although we had very early mornings and long drives, I would say it was worth it!

Egypt is a large country with so many magnificent places to see. This tour covers so much ground, woth every penny. My only feedback was to spend more time in Luxor versus Hurghada. Theres so much to see in Luxor, need more than a day there.

It was a beautiful tour with amazing places to explore...

I was really impressed with the tour. Everything from the airport pick up to the airport drop off was on time and well-organized. I highly commend the people who are behind the logistics of the tour. The tour leaders were very approachable, knowledgeable, and looked after the group all throughout our time in Egypt. The itinerary was superb. It includes all the highlights a first-timer in Egypt would want to see.

Ever since I was little, I always dreamed to go to Egypt and Travel Expat Explore literally gave me the best experience ever! Our tour was amazing having to travel almost all around Egypt-- From Cairo, Aswan, Luxor, Hurghada and Alexandria. Our tour guide- Mina, was the best as well! He made sure that everyone in the group felt inclusive. He even became our friend at the end of the trip as he was just such a remarkable person to be around. The tour felt very safe especially because Mina really made sure that we were not harmed or hussled by the vendors. I really appreciate him so much. The best part of the tour for me was seeing the Great Pyramids of Giza as it was the one I've always needed to see ever since I was a child. The next favourite part would be meeting the people from the tour -- not only learning about the culture of Egypt, but other cultures as well as we were quite a diverse group. Special thanks to Mina and the rest of Travel Expat Team for making this tour as organized as possible and AMAZING.

Mina, our tour operator made each one of us felt included at all times. He took note of the small details and got to know our strenghts and weaknesses quickly! Always saying ""watch your step"". His knowlegde of the history is phenominal.

All good had great time

This is a very fun group. Since it came out to be a small group we ended up a family. Thanks to our tour guide Mina. Job well done of explaining the Egypt's history & taking us to all these wonderful places…,what an experience!

The tour was so well-organised and enjoyable - it was definitely the trip of a lifetime! I learnt so much about Egypt and saw so many wonderful sights. The tour leader, Amgad, was incredible - his knowledge and love for Egypt was very apparent. The driver, Uzu, was lovely. I would 100% recommend to all!

Growing up learning about Egypt is one thing but actually seeing it in person is amazing.

This tour was absolutely amazing. Every day had something special that I will remember for the rest of my life. We did so much it's remarkable. Our group Egyptologist was also incredible, thank you Mina Magdy for making this trip what it was, you went above and beyond for us - from helping us all night long with tattoos to playing games with us on the sail boat to taking us to have dinner with your mom, so much fun and laughter!! If you're reading this, do yourself a favour and book this trip, your future self will thank you.

We were a group of 9 friends that wanted to visit Egypt. We decided to go with expat it was the best decision. As soon as we arrived to Cairo, there was a person to pick us up to bring us to the hotel, there we meet the rest of the group and our guide Ramez. We made a really cute group we enyojed it a lot. Ramez was always there to help us on everything we need. Part of my friends had their flight cancel so they arrived one day after, they weren't able to visit the pyramids but after the 8 days travelling once we returned to Cairo, Ramez arranged everything for them to visit the pyramids with a colleague. We will repeat!

Ramez is a really nice and kind person. He is really knowledgeable of the history of Egypt. We went to all of the most important sites and he explained all their history. The drivers and the security are great. We were made to feel safe and cared for. Ramez took into consideration our needs and made sure they were met. We had a lot of fun, and we were left with amazing knowledge about Ancient Egypt. I will probably recommend this tour and our guide to my friends and family.

Fantastic archaelogical sites seen through out most of Egypt. A good amount of time spent at each site to fully appreciate and enjoy the moments there. The days are very long to get to all the sites, but its worth it.

Our tour was jam packed with details, but worth every minute. We were always busy with something to see or do. Great coordination with the tour guides and time management. Definitely would not have been able to see everything on our own. I felt safe and taken care of at every step. George Tamer was the BEST tour guide. He went above and beyond to make it a great week. All of the other employees involved (drivers, staff) were helpful and warm. Would recommend to anyone wanting to see a great portion of Egypt!
