What people love about Egypt Tours in December
- Nile Jewel - 5* Cruise
We joined in a 4day cruise tour on the Nile from Aswan to Luxor. Overall, we had fun in the tour. Our tour guide was really great. He was knowledgeable and fluent in English. He told us many stories of ancient Egypt at each places and what happened to those sites. The explanation was clear and fun to listen to. On that point, I really appreciate the opportunity to join this tour because seeing the sites with knowledg and stories behind them are completely different from without them. However there are some complains I would like to make. First, the tour did not go as scheduled which upset me a lot. Our original plan which I was written on the itinerary said in the second day after visiting the Abu simbel temple, we were supposed to visit Kom Ombo and Edfu. Then on the third day, we were supposed to visit the east bank of the Luxor. However, we only got to see Kom Ombo after Abu simbel. On the third day, we only got to see Edfu temple and the rest of the day we had nothing to do. As a result, we had to see all the places at Luxor. So we couldnt have enough time to see at each site. In addition we didn't get to see Luxor temple which was planned. Instead, we went to a Papirus factory for some reason... That was disappointing.
- Egypt Explorer - Felucca cruise & Red Sea
Marvelous tour and great service. The acquaintance with Egypt I started from visiting one of the ancient Seven Wonders of the World – Giza Pyramids. This was maybe one of the most impressive sights I’ve seen, if we do not consider the temples of Abu Simbel. Though it was not only historical places that attracted me in Egypt but the distinctive nature as well – endless deserts, beautiful beaches, Nile… What made me really feel comfortable in a country of different habits and customs was the service provided by the tour company. I was placed in 3 star hotels though the service there was really higher quality – everything was so clean and cozy and the stuff was very kind and amiable. The tour guide was extremely helpful and polite; with great sense of humor and very friendly. It was really interesting to listen to the stories he was telling about each sight. I’d really take another tour to Egypt as one is not enough for sure!!!!!! And of course I’d recommend it to all!
- Queen Cleopatra - 7 days
What a great experience!! It was so well organized, and was so great to not have to plan or think about anything. The cruise was amazing! The staff on the cruise were so friendly and helpful. The food was great. I always felt safe and like I was in good hands with my guide. He taught us about the culture and always watched out for us, warning is about hagglers and helping make sure we were not taken advantage of. I would go back and do it all again!
