- Hharshita· April 30th, 2025Mixed 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 timeShow moreTrip date: April 2025
- IBIngrid· December 31st, 2024Enjoyed 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!Show moreTrip date: December 2024
Brian· November 19th, 2024The whole tour was a marvelous experience. Everything was perfectly organized and enjoyable. Peter was an excellent guide, who explained everything in great and knowledgeable detail, he really made the tour something really special. Would definitely travel with Tour Radar again.Show more
Expat Explore Travel commented on this reviewThank you for your great feedback! We're so glad to hear you had a wonderful experience and that Peter made the tour extra special. We look forward to having you travel with us again soon!Trip date: November 2024- RSRichard· November 7th, 2024We 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.Show moreExpat Explore Travel commented on this reviewThank you so much for sharing your experience! We're so glad you had a lovely time and that Nadil made the tour even better. Early starts are part of the adventure, but it sounds like they were well worth it!

- Andrea· June 14th, 2024I 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!Show moreTrip date: May 2024
- AOAgata· May 26th, 2024The itinerary allowed for seeing a lot during a short time. Overall, our guide Nabil was really good and made for an unforgettable trip.

- Lynn· May 14th, 2024I’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.Show moreExpat Explore Travel commented on this reviewThank you for your positive feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our Egypt tour. We hope to see you on another memorable journey with us soon!Trip date: May 2024
- Amanda· May 14th, 2024I 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.Show moreTrip date: May 2024

Traveler•Written May 2025Are you Tour Radar or Expat Explore? I'm confused.
Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written May 2025Expat 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.

Asked on January 6th, 2025Need to know the hotel names
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written January 2025
At this stage, your departure is too far in advance for us to give you a confirmed hotel list. Due to the fact that our hotels are subject to change, we do not provide inaccurate information beforehand to minimize any confusion that may be caused. We therefore suggest reaching out roughly 90 days prior for this information.

Below are the Hotels that were recently used for this tour. No assurance as of this point that it will be the same Hotels but yes, it will be of the same category if ever we have to choose a different hotel. Pyramids resort by Jaz. Gravity Samra Bay resort.

Asked on November 29th, 2024is it possible to fly from hurghada to cairo instead of taking the bus? what is the latest time to arrive in cairo and the earliest time to depart for home?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written 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.

Asked on October 11th, 2024Could you please give the name of the hotels, especially for Cairo for before & after for extended stays ? Name of 5 star cruise ? A little confused about the limited flights to to Aswan for Cruise ? How long is the drive back to Cario after Cruise ?
- Expat Explore TravelOperator•Written October 2024
Due to the fact that our hotels are subject to change, we do not provide inaccurate information beforehand to minimize any confusion that may be caused. We therefore suggest reaching out roughly 90 days prior for this information. The same goes with which 5 Star Cruise will be booked for the tour. The Flight to Aswan from Cairo is already included in the tour package. Also, when the cruise ends on Day 6, the tour will proceed to Cairo through Hurghada.
