Reviews of Small Group tours to Egypt
- Egypt Group tour (Cairo, Cruise and Red Sea)
Everything is organized and smooth, and we met a lot of nice and friendly people in Egypt. Tour guide Waleed in Cairo, Thyeb in Luxor and Aswan are both professional and we learn a lot of Egyptian history and culture from them. Thyeb is super friendly, knowledgeable and flexible to change some itinerary and take us to Luxor downtown for a walk to see local living, much appreciated! I am glad we add an optional tour to Mosque Mohammed Ali and have an overview of Cairo city before we leave, thanks Magdy for catering us in a short notification time.
- History & Civilization Egypt 7 days (Cairo-Aswan-Nile Cruise-Luxor)
Great tour that allows you to see beautiful Egypt and its history in just a few days. Perfect organization, all days were nicely filled with tours and local experiences, but also enough time to rest and enjoy the beautiful views from the boat. Mostafa has been very helpful all along in making sure we always knew our program and answered all our questions. Special thanks to Mahmoud, our guide in Luxor, for his enthusiasm and knowledge sharing. And also thank you to the great cruise staff. I recommend it to others who wish to visit Egypt!
- Discover Egypt 10 Day (Cairo- Nile Cruise -Hurghada)
Egypt is a MAGIC country, but to really extract the best of it you need to select the right Tour Guide, and my expectations were over met with the company of Ihab and his VAST knowledge of his adorable Egypt. Is my second experience with him, visiting Dubai, Abudabi, Oman, Egypt and Turkey, and in a few years I will look for him AGAIN and AGAIN...!!! KNOWING that he will take mi to the most mysterious and AMAIZING places on his CONTINENT...!!!
What our customers ask about Egypt Small Group Tours
What is the typical group size for small group tours in Egypt?
Small group tours in Egypt generally consist of 8-15 travelers providing an ideal balance between social interaction and individual attention. On Nile cruises the boats often accommodate 2-3 small groups with stays at quality accommodations like the Mercure Hurghada Resort. As one TourRadar traveler noted "our group of 12 was perfect - large enough to be social but small enough that our guide could give personal attention at sites like Abu Simbel and the pyramids."
How does the accommodation differ for small group tours versus larger tours?
Travelers on small group tours often stay in select properties such as the Steigenberger El Tahrir Hotel in Cairo and boutique Nile cruise vessels with 30-40 cabins. The limited group size allows access to distinctive lodging options like traditional Nubian guesthouses and better room assignments. According to a TourRadar review "our small group stayed at the Mercure Hurghada Resort with premium sea view rooms - something not possible with larger tours."
What unique experiences are available specifically for small group tours in Egypt?
The intimate size enables access to local experiences including private dinners with Nubian families in Aswan quiet sunrise balloon rides over Luxor and flexible timing at major sites. Groups can enjoy private felucca sailing trips photos at the pyramids without crowds and stays on smaller Nile cruise boats. One traveler noted "our small group size meant we could visit local markets with our guide and learn about Egyptian spices and customs in a way impossible with large groups."
How does the Nile cruise experience differ with a small group?
Small group Nile cruises operate on upscale boats like the MS Sonesta or MS Jaz Regent offering attentive service preferred cabin choices and relaxed dining. As shared by a TourRadar guest: "With just 6 of us on the cruise portion we had fantastic access to the sundeck personal attention from the crew and could easily gather for historical briefings before each stop at temples like Kom Ombo and Edfu."
How does the guide interaction differ in small group tours of Egypt?
The limited group size allows Egyptologist guides to provide detailed explanations tailored to individual interests. Guides can adjust the pace answer specific questions and share in-depth knowledge at sites from Luxor Temple to the Pyramids. According to one traveler: "Our guide Mansour could really engage with each person in our small group making the historical sites come alive with detailed stories and explanations."
