"Travel Matters" excursions are often just glorified shopping trips. Especially frustrating was going to a "oil/scent" shop for 2 hours
Steve Garner | Traveled in July
My family and I took the 9-day Discover Cairo & Luxor with look at Egypt tours: The Wonders of Egypt tour in May 2026, and it was an incredible experience from beginning to end. The itinerary was well planned and gave us enough time to enjoy every destination without feeling rushed. Seeing the Pyramids and the Sphinx for the first time was unforgettable, and exploring the museums, Khan El Khalili, and taking a Nile dinner cruise made our time in Cairo even more special. Luxor completely exceeded our expectations. Walking through Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Luxor Temple, and seeing the Colossi of Memnon brought Egypt's ancient history to life in a way we never imagined. We stayed at the Fairmont, which was an excellent hotel, and all of the transportation during the trip was clean, comfortable, and punctual. Traveling as a family was easy because everything was so well organized. This tour was the perfect introduction to Egypt, and we returned home with unforgettable memories. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the country's history and culture in a comfortable and well-planned way.

Great experience Guide involved my child. Good pacing to avoid heat and crowds where possible

The itinerary was great -- we saw a lot and covered a lot of ground. There were a few days where we got back to the ship or hotel kind of early. I think some people probably wanted some down time to rest, but I would have liked to have had the option of going on a brief excursion or trip to see something else during that time.

To many days on the Nile, there was nothing to do.
