What people love about Egypt Tours in December
- Egypt and the Nile (Winter, Classic)
Amazing experience. The best tour I have ever traveled on. My only strong recommendation is to include all the cost of extras into the main price as everyone seemed to take part in all the extras and it resulted in spending $400 extra when I arrived as I didn't want to miss out if everyone was taking part.
- Best Of Egypt - 5* Cruise
I was lucky to have Ramez as part of my tour group. His knowledge of ancient Egyptian culture is all encompassing. Additionally, his willingness to go the extra mile to ensure I had a great experience with modern-day Egypt makes him a five-star tour guide and a good guy to just hang with. Thanks, Ramez!
- Immortal Egypt - 9 Days (GEM visit - 5 stars accommodation)
This was an amazing way to see the sights of ancient Egypt. Our tour guide Alaa was brilliant and extremely knowledgeable. He provided such an in-depth explanation of everything we saw.
