- AFAngelina· August 15th, 2025This was the perfect introduction to Egypt. We went late in the season and with the Gaza conflict on we were the only two on the tour enjoying the knowledge and friendship of the guides. It was hot in Upper Egypt but tolerable and outing times were adjusted to early morning and evening. George, our guide in Lower Egypt was fantastic and his knowledge and pride in his ancestors was admirable. The accommodation was superb, although the Nile Ship was a little dated it was super comfortable and well equipped. The food was exceptional. We always felt very safe and looked after.

- JCJoy· March 9th, 2025We 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.Show moreVacations to go travel commented on this reviewThank you for your wonderful review!

- CSCynthia· February 23rd, 2025This 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.

- Ben· January 12th, 2025Overall a fantastic experience. The guides and all support staff were wonderful, knowledgeable and helpful. Suggestions: From a value perspective, Abu Simbel should be included in the overall price of the tour. It might be worth adding an extra day to the itinerary for a second day in Hurghada. 24 hours there felt a little rushed. Food - We loved Egyptian food and would have preferred to see more of it in the food offered, particularly amongst the buffets which were overwhelmingly Western.Show moreTrip date: January 2025
