Egypt Explorer Tour Reviews
Honest insights from past guests on our Explorer Egypt tours
Anonymous | Traveled in November
Two minor gripes. 1) It would have been nice to have been warned that the hotel in Cairo did not serve alcohol. 2) Explore should advise its clientele that a visa should be purchased at Cairo airport. The so-called e-visa offered by the embassy involves wrestling with an outdated website which frequently crashes, and requires a photograph of the passport at a resolution far lower than any smartphone will offer - I had to set my scanner at the lowest resolution possible to produce a file which the system would accept. Otherwise, things were great - especially the guide who went the extra mile to ensure that a visit to the Luxor workers' tombs was possible on the morning of our departure when officially her duties were complete.

An excellent guide and a busy itinerary made this an unforgettable, once in a lifetime trip. It is not aiming at the luxury end of the market and requires some individual stamina but overall it was comfortable and fun. A group of 12 people was a good size.

Excellent trip. Covers all the ancient sites and has the bonus of the Red Sea. Ramy was an excellent guide and couldn’t have done more. Cruise boat was nice. Definitely go to Abu Simbel. Suggest cocktails at the Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan. Only 6 in our group which was nice. Hotel Mercure on the Red Sea was nice with snorkelling from the beach or using FunFly (excellent) located at the hotel. It’s all buffet and busy. There are no English speakers at the hotel and the entertainment is geared towards French & Russians.

I taught ancient Egyptian history to high school students and this trip was a realisation of my dream to visit Egypt and see the ancient monuments. Explore did a magnificent job in all aspects, hotels, transfers airline bookings etc. Our group leader was Mohamed Osama, was the catalyst in making this tour an absolute pleasure. His knowledge as an Egyptologist was second to none, and his people skills were equally great. Will I recommend this tour to anyone. A resounding YES!

Lots to see and do. Don't expect much down time especially if you do the optional extras. But it's worth it. The red sea extension was great to relax at the end.
