    We had 10-DAY ANCIENT EGYPT TOUR WITH NILE CRUISE from the late February to early March of 2025. The tour was very well-organized By the Vacations to go Travel for both ground and the Nile River cruise. Before we left for Egypt, Magdy sent us detailed itinerary helping us get ready for the tour. Once we arrived in Cairo, Michael did a great job of taking care of us at the airport and at the hotel. Our tour guides, George and Mansour, are very knowledgeable and keen to meet our needs or requests. We have learnt so much Egypt history from them. Our tour experience was fantastic and unforgettable. Giza pyramids are mighty and magnificent, and the first pyramid ever built - the step pyramid of Zoser, is equally impressive. Egypt museum Cairo is a must to go. Abu Simbel Temples are amazing and so beautiful. Kom Ombo Temple and Edfu Temple are additional nice surprises to us. The Valley of the Kings is an incredible place to see Pharaoh tombs and the Temple of Queen Hatshepsut and the Colossi of Memnon. The Karnak Temple in Luxor is huge and beautiful. In addition, the 3-night Nile River Cruise was very nice and comfortable. The food was delicious, and the cruise staff members were very nice. We are very grateful to the Vacations to go Travel and the people who served us.

    This tour is a comprehensive tour of the major archeological sites in Egypt. Vacations to go Travel provided outstanding service. As two women on this tour we felt very safe and continually supported by being met at the airport, taken to our hotel and met by a professional guide and driver for all of our daily tours . The Nile Cruise portion is an iconic way to see Egypt. We highly recommend adding on Abu Simbel and the new Grand Egyptian Museum to your tour. Many thanks to John, Tammer and Mansour for their thoroughness, knowledge and hospitality which made this adventure outstanding and memorable. We absolutely recommend this company.

    We had a trip of a lifetime. Everything was so well organised from start to finish. The hotels and cruise were excellent and the food was amazing. The agents, drivers and tour guides were all lovely. Everyone was so friendly and made us welcome. We had Tamer and Ibrahim as tour guides. Their knowledge was excellent. We really appreciated how they looked after us. Ibrahim always managed to navigate us to miss the queues! I can’t thank them enough for making our holiday so special. Egypt is an amazing place with the friendliest people. I could not recommend the tour operator enough. Thank you to everyone.

    This was a trip I've looked forward to for years -- unfortunately marred by a couple of days of illness. My daughter and I were surprised to find that we were the only participants in this tour -- but it resulted in very personalized attention from our guides, who were both quite knowledgable and helpful. Ibrahim suggested minor changes in the order of the itinerary to avoid the worst crowds, which were especially thick at Kom Ombu and Edfu. All of the logistics of the trip were well handled and went smoothly. The cultural expectation of baksheesh for every service, however small, was a greater financial drain than we had expected. Guidance was provided on reasonable amounts for various services, but added all together, the total was quite a bit more than we'd planned for. However, overall it was a memorable and enjoyable trip, and one I would recommend to other.

    Whatever you think you know and expect Egypt to be, prepare to be absolutely amazed and overwhelmed. Every day of the trip was a new discovery that was more impressive than the day before (and the pyramids were on day 1!). It was hot ( beginning of October), busy and exhausting at times but it was absolutely worth it! Accommodations were nice ( some issues with AC in the hotel) and boat trip up the Nile was very enjoyable. We took couple of optional trips, one to Alexandria which was just ok, and another to Abu Simbel, which was amazing and is highly recommended. Luxor museum is definitely worth visiting although it was not part of the tour. Another ‘extra’ site we visited was tomb of Seti I in the valley of the kings. We had to pay for separate ticket but absolutely worth it, if you get a chance do not miss it! We would absolutely recommend Vacations to Go Tavel. Tour was well organized and Michael (tour organizer), Maged and Ibrahim (Egyptologist guides) were all very professional, knowledgeable and very friendly. From the first day greeting at the airport, throughout the site visits and to the last day they were available to give us guidance and information and answer millions of questions on everything: logistics, culture, history, and modern life of Egypt. Couple of tips on what to look out for: 1. Everyone is trying to sell you stuff!! There are people selling cheap stuff at the sites everywhere and it can become exhausting to try to avoid them. In addition, we visited “artisan workshops” as part of tour where we were given some demonstrations and afterwords offered to buy locally made “authentic” stuff. You do not have to buy anything if you do not want to! 2. Tips are expected everywhere by everyone so be prepared for that and have cash at hand. Overall it was an amazing experience and we would love to plan some other tours with Vacations to Go Travel.
