It was a great experience, myself and my partner had a really great 8 days exploring most of egypt. Really like to thank our excellent guide Mr George Basher he is a credit to expat and thank him for his guidance and knowledge of his beautiful country and also catering to our every need make it a memorable trip Regards Sarah and Lee
The 9 days Egypt experience was totally amazing and memorable. The tour covered all of the great things we must see in Egypt. The hotel and cruise accommodation is really worth the money and even the food is great. The Nile cruise is one of my favorites in the tour. Our tour guide George Magdy is truly an experienced guide and he made everything so smooth and easy for all of us. I would definitely recommend Expat Explore to my friends who are planning to visit Egypt and i will recommend also the same tour guide George Magdy as he made our vacation a truly wonderful time.
Tour is very well organized. Loved the itineraries. With all of our travels so far, Egypt is the most amazing and fascinating and so glad we did it! We had so much fun with this tour where we met fellow travelers who became our friends. Egypt should be in everyone's bucket list!
Accommodations were good and service as well. Abu Simbel was an optional excursion and I don't regret getting up at the crack at dawn to depart at 2:30am for it.
This tour was simply outstanding. Safety, efficiency, information, fun, friendliness, and just new thrills! We did not need to worry about anything other than being on time. Our Guide was Medhat Youssef who was excellent in every way as tour leader. He is a kind, capable man who helped us appreciate Egypt as he does. Thank you to all involved. We were able to JUST ENJOY our short trip!!
Really excellent tour covering all the major stops in Egypt! Medhat was fantastic and everything was very well organised and accommodation was gorgeous.
I'm so glad we booked with Expat! They took care of us every step of the way. We had a full itinerary and saw so many incredible things. Our guide, Medhat, was excellent! He was so kind, knowledgeable, and kool. Our group was wonderful as well, we came from all over the world, all different ages (11-74 years old) solo travelers, couples, and families; all of us loved traveling and got along great. We were a big family of 22 people. Definitely go for the 5 star cruise option. The food on the boat was so good and the staff was very friendly. I loved this trip and it felt very safe and comfortable traveling with Expat. Definitely would use them again.
Great experience throughout. Brilliant service at the airport, treated as a VIP and whisked through all formalities so easily. Our guide, George, was a star making sure we saw the best of everything. Hospitality staff were so welcoming everywhere. Accomodation was excellent. Frequent very early morning starts were a trial but meant we were able to visit the sites when they were less busy and in the cooler part of the day. This is a must see destination and easily accessible.
The itinerary for the trip was jam-packed and we like it that way! We thought it was very good value for money. All the sites that were included were amazing and we loved all the additional add-ons. Our tour guide George was wonderful in providing everything we could have possibly ever needed. He was knowledgeable kind friendly and we felt safe the whole time. Although we disliked waking up at 4:00 in the morning to leave sometimes we appreciated the overall organization of the tour. It meant that we got to see the sites when it wasn't too busy. We loved the sense of adventure trying new food meeting the locals and exploring the culture of Egypt. We would definitely recommend this tour to other people looking for an adventure in Egypt!
Beyond expectation! Fantastic, professional and efficient team supporting us before and throughout the entire tour. Remon our Habibi guide was excellent and ensure safety comes first and has vast knowledge of the ancient Egyption history and culture. He went out of the way to allow the group to experience local delights. The itinerary was well planned and thanks to the efficient communication from the admin team. Remon is very patience and ensures everyone is happy at all times. The tourist attractions were well covered, amazing Egypt! Meals are provided abundantly and sumptuous. I could go on but highly recommend Expat Explore. Its my first and not the last, already booked few :) The group and Remon started as strangers but ended as habibis. We enhanced every experience with each open friendly aporoach. Unforgettable trip thanks to all and Expat@
Peter our tour guide is: punctual, orderly, passionate about Egypt and is ready to give informed history, he knows his group, and listens to every concerns, issues. Our tour was fun, historical, enjoyable and great.
I loved the trip, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable. I really appreciated all of the help we received by Expat staff (meeting us at the airport, getting us our Visa and locating a bank to exchange currency.
An insight of The main attractions of Egypt.
My first group tour so I was a bit nervous plus my first trip to Egypt! The staff that met me at hotel were so caring and there was attention to the smallest detail such as offering me a sim card, to explaining the plans to assure me, was really thoughtful. Our guide Remon is there best and he has great humour and expertise! I cannot rate Expat higher and hope to use them again and often.
The spots were amazing and memorable, the scenery was breathtaking and the monuments were beautiful. The tour guide tried his best to satisfy everyone's needs. But I hope the time we stay in one spot could be longer, it takes time to enjoy every piece of work. The food was just okay, recommend packing with some snacks and instant food.
I felt safe the entire time with my tour guide George Magdy even with current events. The only thing I will note is one unhappy tourist will tell you this trip was less than ideal when George did everything to make the trip memorable by being informative, consistent and most importantly attentive. This is my fourth trip with Expat and I already booked my next. My only regret is that George won't be showing me around a different city. Great value and a truly wonderful trip.
Our tour of Egypt was an unforgettable odyssey that seamlessly blended awe-inspiring historical wonders with the warmth of Egyptian hospitality, every day felt like a new chapter in a storybook adventure. The knowledgeable guides illuminated the past with vivid narratives, Each sunrise over the desert landscape and each starlit night by the river became a canvas for unforgettable moments. This tour not only showcased the treasures of Egypt but also crafted an experience that will forever linger in our hearts.
The tour was a highly enriching experience. The tour guide Mr Ramez was incredibly knowledgeable providing insightful details at every historic site that we visited and ensured our safety throughout the trip. I learned a lot from his expertise.
I enjoyed every minute of this tour! Peter Helmy was an amazing tour leader with a wealth of knowledge and has a great sence of humor as well. I was so thrilled with this tour and very glad that I finally got to see and experience Egypt!
Our tour was an amazing 9 day experience with a lot of information. Accommodations and food was good throughout. The Nile cruise included and lot of stops and information. All hotels are worth the stay and would of been nice to stay longer. Overall a great packed 9 day tour. Our tour leader Peter was so friendly and approachable all the time. Our tour was November 2023 with few tourists coming to Egypt. Our whole time spent in Cairo and throughout the trip we never felt unsafe. People are friendly and helpful.
I found the tour well organised, the time was well managed and we got to see and do a lot which was great. Our tour leader Peter Helmy is very friendly, professional, respectful, and knowledgeable about Egypt's history so we have a good understanding of what we were looking at at every place we visit. I am completely satisfied with the whole experience, the friendly staff in every hotel we went were always willing to help with a smile on their face.
It was my first expat explore tour and I am so happy at how well organised it was. Hectic schedule but that was expected. Met some amazing people on the tour and had an unforgettable experience.
My experience with Expat Explore's Egypt Jewel Nile Tour was nothing short of extraordinary. This tour was a perfect blend of historical exploration and cultural immersion, offering a comprehensive experience of the captivating land of Egypt. The organization of the tour was flawless, right from the planning to the execution. Peter our TourLeader were well-informed, personable, and went out of his way to ensure that each traveler's needs were met. I was particularly impressive when it came to his knowledge about Egypt's rich history and culture, making the tour both engaging and educational. The itinerary was expertly planned, encompassing the major attractions like the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple and hot air ballon in luxor while also including lesser-known but equally enthralling sites. The Nile Cruise was a definitive highlight, providing breathtaking views of the Nile River and its surroundings that will be ingrained in my memory for years to come. The downside is have to wake up early.There's so much free time but was not able to do other optional tours listed. Accommodations throughout the tour were comfortable and clean, offering a perfect place to unwind after a long day of exploration. The local cuisine was delectable and diversified, providing a taste of Egypt's rich culinary traditions. One of the most commendable aspects of the tour was the appropriate balance between group activities and free time. It allowed for personal exploration and relaxation, which is always appreciated in a packed travel itinerary. The tour also included a range of cultural experiences like visiting local markets, camel rides in the desert, and traditional dance performances, which added an authentic touch to the journey. These experiences offered a firsthand insight into the vibrant culture and lifestyle of the local people, which was incredibly enriching
I will admit, I was nervous coming to Egypt. My husband and I travelled here in Nov 2023 and I have to give all the credit to the success of this trip to our amazing tour guide Peter. Peter made me feel so safe from the first second we met him. He squashed any preconceived notions we may have had about Egypt and the Egyptian culture. The people here are so friendly and I felt safe the entire time. The tour is jammed packed. You don't have a lot of downtime so be prepared for early mornings and late days with a lot of sight seeing in between. The food was extensive! I have never eaten so much in my life! The sights of Egypt are incredible. It's worth the 4am wake up call to take the Abu Simple Temple excursion. The first and last hotel (same resort) was a little lack luster but it was good enough for the two short nights we had there. The cruise was spectacular with awesome views, some needed downtime and wonderful service. The Gravity Resort was stunning. We had a fun bunch of people from all over the world and had a perfect mixture of personalities. And of course, Peter made sure everyone had an awesome experience Overall, I would definitely recommend coming to Egypt and would highly recommend Expat Explore tours. Especially if you're lucky enough to get Peter as your guide All of the included tours were really good, aside from the locals harassing you relentlessly to purchase their products. We were warned fairly and often from Peter to just say no and keep walking however these people were quite aggressive. Be prepared to say no a lot. Also be warned that most public washrooms require payment to use them.
The 9 day Egypt trip was absolutely fantastic, the organisation was spot on which allowed me to see everything I wanted to! Ramez the tour guide was not only good at organising the group but held great knowledge of the sites we visited. Accommodation and transport were very good. I was a returning solo expat customer and met some fellow travelling friend's on this trip so since coming home we have already booked with Expat again!
Glad I chose expat explore;our director,drivers were all excellent
Had a fantastic time our guide was spectacular
I found the tour excellent. The tour guide Ray short for Ramon made this tour excellent with his friendly demeanor. He went out of his way to accommodate our requests.. We laughed along the way and Ray was very informative with the history of the many temples we visited. The one thing I was not impressed with were the early morning breakfast boxes. It was mainly rolls with very little inside the rolls.
Great 9 day itinerary experiencing all the essentials to get a feel for Egypt. The Nile cruise was my absolute favorite and exceeded expectations relaxing -yet exciting and fun.The service and staff were excellent everywhere we went and the food was authentic Egyptian. Medhat our guide worked endlessly to make our trip smooth and worry free. He is an excellent Egyptologist and a kind and thoughtful person.
Awesome tour. Guide was energetic, helpful and extremely knowledgeable about the history, culture etc. He was good natured and fun. Accommodations were decent and clean.
