Egypt Tours in June 2027

Very extensive & very detailed so much to see covers all , need to be fit & physically able to walk long distances & climb stairs, to be expected, very well cared for by Tour Director & drivers & security team a great group of caring efficient young gentleman at all times wonderful time experienced

The itinerary was great. The only disappointment was that we were separated from the Splendors group before we left for Cairo. We got less time with friends we had made, even though we all went to Abu Simbel - just at different times.

I'm glad I chose the 9 day wonders instead of the 12 day splendors as the only big difference is 1 half day in aswan and 2 days sailing back down the Nile. It was compact and busy. I do think,however, that Abu simbel should be included that way no special plans need to be arranged for those who stay behind and miss possibly the best site of the trip. I also think the tipping gets out of hand with the tour directors, the bus drivers and the boat crew. Also, suppers the last 3 nights in cairo are not included and then we are told to eat in the hotel for safety...well that's a cash cow. If we are advised to stay in the hotel then give us vouchers or something but it was a ripoff. Amd watch out for the ATM at the Marriott...it doesn't give you much time to get your money once the little door opens...be quick.

This was a very educational journey and our guide provided wonderful background ahead of each magnificent site that we visited. She was also wisely strategic with arranging our inside and outside activities to beat the typical tourist crush and avoid the hottest times of day. There was always enough time to do some individual exploring and picture taking but the pace was appropriate to keep us moving. We saw so much!

This trip gave me an experience I’d never be able to curate on my own. It changed the way I will view travel in the future (in a good way).

First and foremost, I felt safe, very safe. Having private tour guides and drivers were a big part of what made me feel comfortable the whole time. Secondly, I could not have found a more comprehensive and entertaining tour. We did it all: • Crawled inside ancient pyramids; • Snorkeled around amazing coral reefs; • Were awed by the beautiful fish seen in a glass-bottomed Red Sea submarine; • Rode camels; • Cruised down the Nile; • Shopped in authentic markets; • Enjoyed a hot air balloon flight over Luxor; • Visited very posh luxury resorts; • And, not least,stayed in truly first-class hotels! On my birthday, we enjoyed a yacht cruise and dinner with gourmet food. I danced with the crew. I could go on and on. I cannot emphasize enough how much I loved this trip!
