Show moreTrip date: May 2025 - AAAhmet Aykut· May 30th, 2025Our trip to Egypt was truly unforgettable and incredibly well-organized. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. What made the journey especially meaningful was traveling with knowledgeable Egyptologists, particularly Bassam Q. and Tarek. Their passion and deep understanding of ancient Egyptian history brought every site to life. It was a privilege to learn from them, and their insights added so much depth to the experience. This trip was absolutely worth it – highly recommended!Show more

fahad· January 6th, 2025I travelled with my family. This is a comprehensive tour of Egypt that touches important sites. The Guides (Nasir and Hassan) were knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating. Special mention is driver in Cairo - Muzammil who was helpful. The management is organized, flexible, polite and is available for any support required. It was my first time in Egypt and it was hassle free because of the organization. Good value.Show moreEgypt Direct Tours commented on this reviewMany thanks, Fahad for your promote review and we are happy to hear that you enjoyed your trip to Egypt.

- Uu· October 5th, 2024You will be left speechless after this tour by Egypt Direct Tours! Bassam was my guide and he made the whole experience even more memorable. Basssm was so insightful with his extensive knowledge of the Pyramids, tombs, and hieroglyphics,also was photographer in Giza and got us to Memphis, Saqarra and the VIP access to recently opened tombs. Bassam even bought water for the workers around the Pyramid complex and food for the strays in Saqqara. Doing a private tour made the experience so much better because you move at your own pace. I even had time to stop and get coffee and some snacks. I highly recommend this company for anyone wishing to come to Egypt.Show moreEgypt Direct Tours commented on this reviewMany thanks, Mohd for your review, we hope to see you again in Egypt.

- Alva· April 12th, 2024I want to thank Egypt Direct/Tour Radar for the experience of a lifetime! The guide Nasser introduced me to the Egyptian people and their vibrant culture. Nasser's insite to the creation of the sites we explored put in perspective Egyptian people's connection to the country. Nasser and driver Youssef elevated any safety concerns I had about touring on my own. Nasser's knowledge about the archaeological sites we visited gave perspective to why people should explore Egypt. If you want to travel on your own, do so but ask if while on tour will you meet up with other travelers.Show moreEgypt Direct Tours commented on this reviewThanks, Alva, We are grateful that you took the time to leave us a review.

- JCJorge Luis· April 1st, 2024We arrived and were picked up by driver and representative who took us to Swiss Inn Pyramids Golf resort. This is approximately 45 min from the airport. We did not receive accommodation information until day of arrival. These accommodations were okay. Breakfast included. The reason for 3 star review is that there were a lot of hidden fees that were not clear in the beginning. Train tickets for sleeper train were given a week before travel. Expect to pay $95 per person for a double room and $135 for a single. (Online they are listed for $90 and $130) website is not user friendly so agency needed to book for us. We paid $630 for round trip sleeper train for 3 people. They refuse Egyptian money so this you must pay cash with American dollars upon arrival. The company takes added cost for their “profits”. The sleeper train was horrendous, completely filthy and food inedible. We were not given any information about name of sleeper train or anything until arrival and already tickets were booked. We did not anticipate for accommodations to be so poor. We opted to fly back from Aswan instead of taking the sleeper train back to Cairo. We were able to get 80% refund of fees minus the travel agency fees. We booked our own flights which was $40 dollars cheaper per person than if we allowed agency to book. We were picked up from train station by Mohamed who was spectacular. Additionally, all of the entrance fees to all the temples average around $155-$200 per person throughout the stay. Since we were flying back to Cairo a day earlier than expected, we needed an additional night stay. The travel agency quoted us $195. However, hotel charged us $162. We told Ahmed the owner of this company and his reponer was “supposed to add a little profit for our agency”. The Nile cruise accommodation was subpar. It would have been nice to have has a choice in a different cruise ship. There was no entertainment. Very boring cruise. This trip could have been done in less days. We had a lot of down time so we added additional excursions so we weren’t sitting around. Now although the company practices are questionable, The tour guides and drivers were spectacular. Mohamed was exceptional and very knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Made sure to grab all of our photos. He was funny and patient with us. Negotiated with vendors for souvenirs. I give Mohamed 5 gold stars! Hassan our driver in Cairo was also amazing and very kind. Nasser our tour guide in Cairo also very knowledgeable and flexible with us. We added on the Alexandria day trip to the last day of our trip and both Nasser and Hassan traveled with us and they were very kind. The purchased for us ice cream that was complimentary. Be aware that included meals are a set menu. We were able to choose meal in Alexandria but otherwise you do not have option for what is served. Drinks are not included. Overall we did feel safe with our guides. We are appreciative of company for tour. Hope feedback is taken as constructive.Show moreEgypt Direct Tours commented on this reviewMany thanks, Jorge for your review and comment, We respect the comment and have the right to reply for clarification only as follows: 1- All details in the itinerary are clear especially including & Excluding. 2- The hotel name is mentioned in the...

Becky
Asked on April 17th, 2025What is the difference between a gold and a Platinum operator?
- Egypt Direct ToursOperator•Written April 2025
The terms "Gold" and "Platinum" operator in the context of a travel agency are not standardized industry-wide titles. Their meaning would depend entirely on the specific framework or program being discussed. To achieve Platinum status, an operator might need to meet more stringent criteria than a Gold operator, such as: Higher sales volume. Longer tenure with the organization. Specialized certifications or training.
