Jin· December 15th, 2025This tour was outstanding! Saladino masterfully navigated the packed itinerary, ensuring everything ran smoothly and on time. I enjoyed very much and enthusiastically give this tour my highest recommendation.Show moreTrip date: December 2025- SPSatish· December 15th, 2025This tour is fast paced but still enjoyable because of wonderful guides. For Luxor and Aswan leg ask for Ahmed Saladino. He is very passionate about explaining historical facts and is very personable. He goes out of the way to help. Thank you Saladino for wonderful tour experience.Show moreTrip date: December 2025
- NNone· December 13th, 2025Gewan Hotel ★★★☆☆ The hotel was clean and comfortable. We used the hotel laundry service and the staff member who delivered our clothes insisted it was cash only and quoted a price about 150 EGP higher than what the front desk later confirmed. The front desk accepted credit cards and honored the correct price. This felt like an attempted scam. Communication and Tour Operator ★★☆☆☆ I had to contact the tour operator myself on the first evening to ask about the next morning’s pickup time which was less than 12 hours away. When I pointed out that he had not contacted us, he said “that’s your fault, you could have called me earlier, you have my number.” This felt rude and unprofessional. This is the only tour I have taken where I had to repeatedly chase the operator for basic information. Food Scheduling and Daily Planning ★★☆☆☆ Meal timing was poorly managed. Breakfast was usually before 7am but lunches were often between 2pm and 4pm with no snack stops and very limited water breaks. I never felt properly fed during the land portion of the trip. Outside of the days with Ashraf, we received almost no details about the timing of activities beyond the pickup time which made us feel unprepared and confused. Nile Cruise Boat ★★★★☆ Pros • Rooms were spacious for a river cruise boat • Housekeeping kept both rooms and common areas very clean • Food had a wide selection and was generally good Cons • The free “cocktail hour” was actually mocktails and not enough were made for everyone • Drinks were expensive and not included so bringing your own sodas and waters is recommended • Some cooks refused to serve food unless guests smiled which felt uncomfortable and was mostly directed at women and girls Guides Abduul ★★★★★ Guide for Alexandria, Pyramids, GEM, and Saqqara. Very nice, knowledgeable, and warm throughout the experience. Ashraf ★★★★★★★ Guide for the Nile Cruise and all Aswan and Luxor activities. Ashraf was extraordinary. • Extremely knowledgeable about history and mythology • Warm and personable and openly shared about his life and culture • Sent detailed itineraries with timestamps every night • Helped sick passengers get proper medication • Bought me cat treats at Philae Temple so I could feed the cats • Made the entire cruise significantly more enjoyable He is truly beyond a five star rating which is why he is a 7. Added Costs ★★☆☆☆ The tour operator charges 165 dollars per person for entry tickets. We opted out and bought the tickets ourselves and saved about 8 dollars per person. Purchasing independently was easy. The tipping pool was 60 dollars per person which felt excessive. We opted out because we do not believe in tipping for a service before a service is rendered and found that tipping staff directly felt more fair and resulted in better interactions. Optional Excursions ★★★☆☆ Alexandria The tour itself was fine but it took 5 hours to reach Alexandria because of traffic which made the day very long. Carriage Ride Our favorite optional excursion. Very enjoyable and the horse appeared well cared for. Sound and Light Show Not worth 60 dollars per person. Crowds blocked the view with phones and the audio glitched during the final section. Hot Air Balloon Cancelled but refunded. Abu Simbel Departure at 4am and 3 to 4 hours each way. Very beautiful but rushed and stressful with guards shouting for people to keep moving. Nubian Village Very enjoyable with a great Nile boat ride. Additional Notes • Abu Simbel and the Nubian Village were scheduled on the same day so guests who did not book at least one optional excursion remained on the boat all day. The Nubian Village should be included in the base itinerary • The perfumery had interesting products but was expensive and the salesman was not receptive to guests speaking quietly even when someone was simply translating • The Cairo to Luxor airport instructions were given by the tour operator and were extremely unclear. The entire group spent about 10 minutes running around like headless chickens trying to figure out where to go while he immediately drove off • Flights were booked in scattered groupings for booking purposes which separated families at check in even though all passengers still flew on the same flight times • We were supposed to visit the High Dam before an evening flight but were instead moved to a 12:30pm flight that was only booked five days earlier. The tour operator never even mentioned the missed High Dam visit and it felt like they were hoping we forgot about itShow moreTrip date: November 2025

- NPNicholas Charles· December 8th, 2025It was intense! It was magical! It was at times, humbling! It was extraordinary! It was exhilarating! This trip lived up to and I'm delighted to say, actually passed my expectations. Great guides, knowledgeable people who brought the trip to life. Pyramids, Sphinx, Grand Museum, cruising the Nile, temples galore - there was so much to take in. At times the days were very long and it was tiring to have so many back to back events.... so be prepared to be tired.Show moreTrip date: December 2025
- Vincent· December 8th, 2025A lovely & exciting experience. With a great crew of people exploring a busy schedule of non-stop exploration. It’s early mornings (4am popped up often) and lots of moving and learning too. Our guides were excellent. They spoke fluent English and were more than willing to help negotiate prices if asked. Pictures? Ask. History queries about Literally Anything? Just ask. Abdul & Mohammed were wonderful hosts. If you want to have a beautiful bucket-list experience; honestly look no further.

Asked on November 9th, 2025I'm an Indian passport holder, will you provide the official Egyptian travel-agency Letter of Guarantee required for e-Visa/entry
- Beyond The Nile ToursOperator•Written November 2025
The responsibility for obtaining the necessary travel documents, including visas, ultimately lies with the traveler. We do our best to provide information and reminders, but due to the complexities involved—such as varying requirements based on nationality, destination, and even airlines—we cannot manage the visa process on behalf of our travelers. This is why we recommend all travelers verify these requirements with the relevant authorities well in advance of their trip.
