    This tour was well worth it! Not only do you get to see some essential Egyptian sites and monuments while being steeped in Egyptian history and culture , but you also get to sail the beautiful Nile, which has been the lifeforce of Egyptian people for so long. This is the best way to visit Egypt!

    Thorough and informative tour of all the sights. We were very glad to have a guide as although we usually plan our own itinerary, it's clear that would have been difficult in Egypt. Our guide, Mekhat, looked after us well and made sure we had what we needed. He was able to answer any questions we had.

    Had an excellent time on the tour. Our guide Ashraf was excellent and really looked after us and ensured we were always safe and had a great time. Ashraf was extremely knowledgeable about Egyptian history, he was informative and always kept the information relevant and interesting. Seeing the sights of ancient Egypt was a real highlight and the Nile cruise was very relaxing.
