Review of Egypt’s five-day private tour with Cairo sights, Luxor balloon ride, Nile cruise, Abu Simbel, flights, hotels, and guides.
“I was travelling with my elderly mother (78 years old). It was the best way for us to see Egypt. All the guides were excellent (Mustafa Habibi, Menna and others thank you from the bottom of our heart! you made our trip unforgetable), they knew their job and did it to the fullest with respect to our wishes and liking. Everyone made us feel very safe and did everything to overcome any difficulty. Very good value for money. All in all a wonderful experience I would definately repeat!!!”

“The best part of this trip was our tour guide Omar and all the wonderful knowledge he has about Egypt and history. We didn’t have to worry about anything from the moment we arrived in Luxor and we’re picked up by the tour company representative. We were able to visiRead more”

“Last 3days of our trip we spent in Cairo. Despite the busyness of the capital city, our trip was “a breeze” thanks to our guide Mr Mohammed Elshemei- highly professional, knowledgeable guy with very good English. He was also very generoRead more”
Review of a 5-day Luxor to Aswan Nile cruise with balloon ride, temples, felucca sailing, and Abu Simbel, including costs and practical tips.
“Great tour that gives you the opportunity to see beautiful Egypt and its history in just a few days. Perfect organization, all days were nicely filled with tours and local experiences (be ready to pay extra if you want souvenirs from the different shops you visit), but also enough time to rest and enjoy the beautiful views from the boat. Zeinab has been very helpful all along to make sure we always knew our program and answer all our questions. Special thanks to Ahmed, our guide in Luxor, for his enthusiasm and knowledge sharing. And also thank you to the great cruise staff. I definitely recommend to others who wish…”
Review of a five-day Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan, with Cairo flights, temples, tombs, meals, guides, costs, and practical tips.
“If you are the kind of person who likes to have a pre outlined plan about how your days are going to look before the trip start, and I mean the basics of what you are going to be doing each day not even the times they will be happening or who your driver or tour guide will be, then this isn’t the booking for you. To start our trip, we took a flight from Cairo with a driver picking us up, this all went fine. The driver picked us from the Aswan airport and dropped us off at the cruise ship. There we weren’t given any information about the…”
Review of Hurghada’s PADI scuba package, with two Red Sea sites daily, private transfers, lunch, costs, safety, and practical booking advice.
“Ha sido genial. El personal del barco muy atento, siempre pendiente de ayudarte. El dive máster ha explicado el briefing para que todos los entendiéramos a la perfección y la experiencia bajo el agua ha sido brutal, con distintos puntos de buceo preciosos, sin casi gente y totalmente adaptado a cada buceador.”
Review of a 5-day Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan with temples, Abu Simbel, meals, guided tours, and practical value advice.
“We loved the cruise. The ship was very clean and the service was fantastic. Meals were also really good. Our guide Samy Saleh was fabulous. The best we had in Egypt. He was very knowledgeable and “like a book”. He also took great care of our group and made sure everyone got on to the next part of their journey okay. He is a very genuine man who also provided us with great facts and we learnt a lot about the sites we were visiting and more.”
Review a 5-day Nile cruise from Cairo to Luxor and Aswan, with flights, temples, an Egyptologist guide, meals, and practical booking advice.
“Mahmoud was a fantastic guide, informative, fun and so helpful and accommodating. The boat and food on it were ok. The organiser (Eriny) however was disorganised, booked a flight that made us late to the first tour and terrible at communication. She also clearly booked our trip last minute (days before we went in October) despite me booking it in March. If you can avoid her, you’ll have a good experience.”
Review of a 5-day private Egypt tour from Cairo by flight, covering Giza, Luxor, Abu Simbel, Aswan, and Alexandria for $600.
“Okay I have a bit to say about this tour, I recommend reading this review before booking. Firstly, it was advertised as a private tour, however, 3 out of the 5 days turned out not to be private. Day 1 in Cairo was private, day 2 they sent me to Abu Simbel with a group (whicRead more”
Review of a 5-day Nile cruise from Hurghada to Luxor and Aswan, with temples, tombs, meals, transfers, and practical booking advice.
“La croisière est très agréable, le personnel est à nos petits soins. Cependant, nous avons trouvé l'organisation des journées assez brouillon et mal planifiée. On aurait aimé plus de flexibilité, plus de communication et moins de boutiques attrapes touristes incluses par défaut dans le programme.”
Review of a 5-day Egypt tour from Cairo with Nile cruise, flights, Abu Simbel, Luxor temples, Nubian Village, and hot-air balloon ride.

“It was an amazing experience, our guide and driver (Mahamoud and Ahmed) took us to visit the Grand Egyptian Museum and them a camel ride on the Giza plateau. We learned a lot and got some amazing pictures!”
Review of a 5-day Nile cruise from Hurghada to Aswan, with Luxor, Abu Simbel, guided temple tours, meals, and practical booking advice.
“Everything went as planned. Guides/organisers help with everything (e.g. hinting how much you should tip). They are also very responsive (via GYG and WhatsApp). Guides are the biggest advantage. Adel and Samy did an incredible job helping us to explore each place. You will learn the name of the ship only on the last day before trip. The ship was ok. It was rather old, but clean & renovated, the staff and food was nice (not great but not terrible). If I could pay a bit more for a newer ship, I would consider. The transport to and from Hurghada was great (brand new car). The drivers don't speak English…”
