    Our trip was one of the most memorable experiences in my lifetime. John guided us through the Great Pyramids, Egyptian Museum, Hanging Church, Cavern Church and around Alexandria. He was very knowledgeable and provided ample time to explore on our tour. Hussein guided us around Abu Simbel, Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu, Valley of the Kings, Luxor, Karnak, Dendara, and Abydos. He was also very knowledgeable and a wonderful guide. He went out of his way to make us comfortable and was able to get us to each site before it got too busy. We were able to spend a lot of time viewing all the ancient art. He became one of our family members as we were on the tour and I would highly recommend him to anyone who visits Luxor and Aswan. Both John and Hussein were awesome guides and they helped make this trip one that I will never forget. Thanks to both of them!

    we had an amazing tour! Hema and Temer were awesome....the cruise was 1/3 full so we had the entire ship to ourselves. would have been better to have cruised longer, and not to have to get up between 4-6am most days...but sooo worth the early mornings...Abydos and Dendereh were amazing. Been on the list for a long time....the museums were great and and always felt safe. no worries... Hope to be back for a more relaxing visit next time!

    Guides were beyond excellent!! Overall great itinerary, and Michael allowed us to adjust some plans last minute like a flight to Abu Simbel. Some things could have been avoided as they were of low interest or not worth the time spent: Nubian village was too long of a boat ride for not much to see, and some of the “forced but no pressure“ shopping stops were ok but also ok if avoided.

    Omg, this tour was fantastic 💖 I wouldn't do Egypt any other way! Michael, John and there tour guides were nothing short of amazing 🙂 Right from the start everything went smoothly, pick up from airport, dropping us to the hotels, which by the way were incredible, safety was never an issue and they made sure everyone's needs were met. My only complaint and it's not even really complaint is I think at the end of the your we definitely needed to stay at least 3 nights in Hurghada so you could experience both the diving and everything Mecure had to offer. The food, the people the experience was spot on. The cruise was amazing as well. Would we travel again with these guys ABSOLUTELY, we are already taking with our friends to come over again in 12 months time and an added bonus we have made new friends from your. Thank you to everyone involved. Allan and Trish from Australia 💖

    It was excellent. The guides were fantastic and very knowledgeable. And funny! The places we went were very amazing! The only negative was the people on the streets selling stuff. They were everywhere and by the end I had had enough of it. You can stay polite for just so long.

    This tour far exceeded my expectations. All of the guides, drivers, hotels, accommodations, sites and craftsmans were professional and amazing. The guides Michael, Tamer, a Mansour were incredible. Mansour really stood out. He got to know us and tailored the tour our interested and personal needs. We felt cared for and safe the entire trip. The value for the cost was amazing. I would highly recommend Tourradar if you want to experience Egypt.

    The whole tour is very well planned and was brilliantly executed, with nothing left to chance. Everything and everyone were on time, the company representative, John and the tour guides in Upper and Lower Egypt (Hassan and Tamer respectively) were very knowledgeable, always polite and went out of their way to cater for all our whims, the food was perfect, the accommodation and the cruise ship were really 5* level and the sites included in the tour really leave you in awe at what the Egyptian Civilisation achieved 5.000 years ago. We whole-heartedly recommend this tour!

    Can you please confirm: 1) That you will be able to feed my wife who is a Coeliac and therefore needs to be Gluten Free 2) That we can add a day on at teh end so that we can do both teh alexandria trip as part of teh tour and The Gem museum on the following day (please quote this for us) 3) confirm that we still get the included airport transfer after the extra day.

      Gluten-Free Meals: While gluten-free products are somewhat limited in Egypt, most of the meals on the tour are served as open buffets, giving your wife the flexibility to choose what best suits her Coeliac dietary requirements. We also recommend bringing some gluten-free crackers or biscuits to have on hand during the trip. From our side, we can arrange to have some gluten-free bread available for her while in Cairo, and if you wish, we can also prepare some for you to take on the Nile cruise. It's best to avoid dishes such as pasta with white sauce, as these often contain flour — rice, grilled meats, vegetables, and legumes are good alternatives and are commonly served.
