Egypt Eco Tours

Having been on at least nine Explore tours over the years, I found this guide to be one of the most outstanding, in terms of knowledge and personality (in particular, his ability to present the country's history and culture to children in a manner which they are likely to retain, while being available to offer more detailed and nuanced insights to the adults on the trip)

Egypt is astonishing. So much history and so much of it is the precursor to the modern western world which makes the history so much more vivid and real. The Wonders of Egypt tour gives an excellent introduction to Egypt and includes many of the best sites from the gentle comfort of a Nile riverboat. The highly educated and experienced tour guides work hard to make sure you have every opportunity to get the most from the tour.

This was an amazing experience. Definitely the trip of a lifetime. Would encourage anyone who loves history and has been hankering about Eqypt to try it for yourself. We loved it for the ease of travel and comfort while exploring the immense history and attractions of Eqypt. The cruise made a big difference to us. We travelled to all the attractions in different locations without having to pack and unpack every day as you would if you were to travel on land. In addition, we knew roughly the cost outlay for this trip because the bulk of our travel and meals were on the cruise ship. Food on the ship was good and the room was adequately comfortable. The only thing is we wished that the trip included a visit to Bazaar Khan El Khalili. It is a highlight of Cairo but we did not get a chance to view this market. A point of note is that food in Eqypt is relatively cheap even in swanky places serving Eqyptian food. We had grilled seafood, cooked to order for less than USD50 including tips and drinks for 4 of us in Alexandria. A meal of quail, soup, kofta, salad and rice in downtown Cairo with music costs less than USD10 per person. A pizza and a drink in the Grand Eqyptian Museum costs less than USD15. So if anyone tells u that a local meal is USD20 for kofta, tahini, **** bread, rice and grilled chicken, beware.

Waleed was an amazing guide! He is what made the trip so special. He speaks perfect English, is so knowledgeable, he kept the kids engaged, and he shared his passion for Egypt- social, cultural, and historical . Thank you Waleed for making Egypt so memorable for both the kids and their parents. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Egypt is a country that has truly stolen my heart. With its incredibly rich history and breathtaking landscapes, it's a destination that I would love to revisit. Our tour directors, particularly , were exceptional - their knowledge and professionalism made the experience even more enjoyable. I was impressed by unique approach, using a notebook to illustrate key points, earning him the nickname "the professor." The Nile cruise was a highlight of the trip, with friendly staff and crew members, delicious food, and lovely afternoon tea and lunch on the deck. The Wonders of Egypt trip was truly unforgettable!

A great trip! The core destinations plus the optional add-on destinations provided a diverse view of what Egypt has to offer. And, of course, the whole experience wouldn't have been nearly as good were it not for our exceptional trip manager, with his enthusiasm and impressive knowledge.
