Egypt Tours in Summer

Everything was amazing and will do more g trips only complaints are about g adventures choice in some of the accommodation- I know the 18-39 is basic but the level of some of the accommodation is not justified in my opinion

We had a great time in Cairo with Charlie’s guide and driver. I was very thankful that I could change the itinerary at the last minute with no problem. I especially liked the concierge service that kept in communication with us making sure everything went smoothly. They were on top of things when we had to change our pick up time because of a lost bag at the airport. The guide made sure we were having a good time and saw everything we wanted to see. She was easy to understand and a joy to be around. The driver did an excellent job getting around some very close places. I felt safe and well taken care of. Thanks to Charlie The Traveler’s team for their flexibility, patience, and knowledge of the city.

Muhammad met us in Luxor. He was fun and knowledgeable. I now know more about the Pharaohs, gods, tombs and temples than I ever believed possible. I am a nut on the subject of Egypt… In Cairo we met Nasser. He was so funny and wanted so much to do everything for us. At one point he made the driver stopped so he could get us a breakfast sandwich Egypt Style. He negotiated us through the back alleys of the bazaars and gave us a look that we never would have had the nerve to do on our own. The security guard in Giza had both Ruth and I drooling. He should have been in movies. We kept teasing him that we wanted to see his gun. The camel ride was good at the pyramids…. Sharm-el-Sheikh's resort was fantastic. We skipped our day of snorkeling and enjoyed relaxing on the beach. It was way too cold to even consider putting on a bathing suit.

The perfect trip!! There was a great balance of busy sightseeing and down time. The river cruise was spectacular!! Our tour guide was AMAZING! Sherif took care of all our needs as well as providing us with so much wonderful information. He took us to a spice shop one evening and guided us with our purchases!! Sherif stayed with my group of 4, 2 days beyond the original tour. We booked different excursions and went to Alexandria and to the new GEM. He guided us and gave a great account of each of the sites we visited. Sherif is one of the wonders if Egypt!! We were lucky to have him as our tour guide and leader.

I think it was a wonderful trip, learning about how well connected the 3 countries were is quite amazing. Rome was fast paced but it was still a good amount of time. took us to Tivoli which was a nice change of scenery as well. Greece, I think we could have toured a little more, the tour guide was telling us about things we should look at in our free time but some of the things were quite close, I feel we could have gone to those places as a group. Pistachio was great, yes you sign up to see the ancient side of Greece but it was refreshing to have a taste of the beautiful islands it has to offer. Egypt was fantastic, while it was crammed into 2 days I still think it was a good amount of time to do everything, the resort was great as well.

Charlie and his team were great, really couldn't fault them - despite me being a very difficult customer at times! 😂 I took the suggested itinerary and added some logistical nightmares with travel and very restrictive timings, and all with very little time to plan. They showed great patience, a willingness to listen and help get the trip that I wanted. Did everythingo go 100% smoothly? No, but then in my experience these things rarely do, especially in a country like Egypt. That's exactly when you need someone like Charlie, sorting issues out and getting things back on track as quickly as possible. I wouldn't hestitate use them again, or recommend them to a friend.
