    Mixed Experience – Great Guide, Poor Start Due to Miscommunication Our trip to Egypt had its highs and lows. The first three days were quite stressful due to miscommunication between Thrillophilia and Expacts. Despite having paid the full amount to Thrillophilia, Expacts had not received the payment, leaving me completely clueless and without proper support. I had also reached out to Expacts via email before the trip for information but never received a response, which added to the confusion and frustration. However, things improved later in the trip. Our tour guide, Mr. Nabil Shohdy (TIGER), was exceptional—very humble, well-informed, and passionate about sharing Egypt’s history. The rest of the journey covered almost all major attractions and was well-planned. The cruise rooms could definitely be improved, as they didn’t meet expectations. Aside from that, the overall experience was enjoyable, and I would consider booking again through Expacts—provided better communication and coordination next time

    Enjoyed the trip, tour guide Ramez was very informative, helpful & looked after all of us! Would have been better if the hanging church, red pyramid & valley of the queens were included in the itinerary. Variety of food served should have been taken into consideration. But overall I have enjoyed the tour. Thank you!

    We had a lovely time. Helped by an excellent tour guide - Nadil. We were also incredibly lucky to have a group where I would happily spend an evening with anyone of them if we meet up again. The accommodation couldn't be faulted. The starts are often early so be prepared that you will not be having many lie-ins. Many of the ancient sites are unbelievable and I wouldn't have wanted to miss any. Some on the tour visited an extra site called Abu Simbol, as an option and they found it amazing.

    I definitely recommend the tour "Egypt Nile Jewel". We joined the tour at the end of May 24. Our guide was Rey (Remon). The tour was well organised with attention to all details. Transportations and accommodations were carefully planned. When we arrived, the Expat Travel representative was expecting us at the airport and helped us at every stage (i.e., getting the visa). We took the plane in the evening of the second day, giving us the chance to spend the night in a nice hotel in Aswan. Optional activities were offered. We opted for the Abu Simbel and hot air balloon ones. The Abu Simbel Temple is something that cannot be missed. The hot air balloon was nice but not amazing, definitely too short and overpriced. The Nile Cruise was excellent and the room was really nice. Expect to visit multiple stores (perfumes, papyrus, alabaster, spices), all carefully designed for tourists (higher prices too) [not my favourite part]. I definitely recommend this tour, it is definitely worth the price!

    The itinerary allowed for seeing a lot during a short time. Overall, our guide Nabil was really good and made for an unforgettable trip. However, the customer service from the Tour Radar Team was substandard. I received several emails asking for confirmation of arrival, when I already provide the information.

    I’m not usually a fan of tours, but I was a huge fan of this one. Good mix of adventure and relaxation, while seeing the highlights of Egypt and making new friends. This tour is also very flexible if you want to add extra activities or days. Be sure to check out the optional excursions. Nabil was also a great and very knowledgeable guide.

    I was a solo traveler from the US and this was my 3rd Expat Explore tour. Nabil was an excellent tour guide, he is extremely educated, knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptology and I definitely left the country knowing so much more than when I arrived. Nabil ensured all arrangements of this tour were confirmed and took special care of the oldest member of the group….me! Our hotels were very nice, it was incredible to ride a camel by the pyramids, see the sphinx, explore temples and tombs, take a sunrise hot air balloon ride over Valley of the Kings and so much more.

      Are you Tour Radar or Expat Explore? I'm confused.

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten May 2025

      Expat Explore is the tour operator, which means we are the ones who design, run, and operate the tours — including the itinerary, transportation, accommodation, and tour leaders. TourRadar, on the other hand, is a booking platform — similar to an online travel agent. They help travelers book tours with many different operators (like Expat Explore) through their website.

    • Expat Explore TravelOperatorWritten December 2024

      Our tours are sold as package deals, so no amendments can be made to the included transportation. If you prefer to fly from Hurghada to Cairo instead of taking the bus, you are welcome to arrange this independently, but please note that this will not affect the overall tour cost. The first day of the tour is an orientation day, meaning you are free to arrive at any time. If you do arrive on Day 1, you will receive a complimentary transfer from the airport to the starting point. On the final day, the tour will conclude after breakfast, around 10:00 AM. Should you choose to depart on the same day, a complimentary transfer back to the airport will also be provided.
