    This tour was really nice! The cruise was comfortable, the food was tasty and our hotel in Cairo was also very good. Visiting Egypt was such an amaizing experience. The only "bad" thing is that on the day that we were flying to Egypt, they told us that the planning was going to be changed. Instead of doing Cairo-Aswan-Luxor we did Cairo-Luxor-Aswan, it wasn't that big of a deal but I wished they would have told us sooner so we could plan taking that in mind. Another thing is DO NOT BUY in the places where your tour guides take you. They are very kind but they obviously want to earn money and WILL scam you. Specially for the Alabaster factory, the cammels, etc. However they never force you to buy anything, they only show it to you. These are the thing why I wouldn't give this tour 5 stars. The rest of the things were amaizing. We were in contact with Ithaca through all the trip, they solved our problem and were also very flexible. Some people say that the cruise was old, I think is good enough for the money you pay. All the transports between the cruise/hotels and temples/tourist attraction is private, and the tour guides too, which makes it more personalised. Overall I would recomend anyone to take this experience. In our case we were two female university students and we felt safe when we were with the tour.

    The itinerary for Adventure Ancient Egypt - 7 Day was great and covered so much. The guides for all excursions were well versed and easy to understand. Achmed was our guide for the first day. He was friendly, gave good information and was particularly helpful when one of our fellow travelers lost their passport. The organization of the adventure was excellent. We enjoyed all of the ancient sites and the restaurants chosen for included meals. The only downside to the entire adventure was the overnight sleeper train from Cairo to Aswan and back to Cairo. The train was aged, and the cleanliness was not the best. I would suggest taking the optional plane ride instead. Overall, this adventure was just that, an adventure not to be missed. I am so glad we did it and Tourradar did a wonderful job with the organization. I highly recommend this adventure.

    Lots to see and do, good pace, and the guides were generally okay. The cruise is by no means 5 star by conventional standards but was fine. Watch out for the extras that do creep in from the base price but that is quite transparent. The person you deal with throughout on WhatsApp is always very quick to respond.

    Fantastic and great value for money tour/cruise with excellent guides and staff who couldn't do enough for us. Only one downside for us was that we booked a sunrise balloon ride when we boojed the cruise but the car company that picked us up took us to another location first to pick up several other people not from the boat.We waited half an hour for them to arrive at this location so missed the sunrise and had to fly later.

    This was an incredible tour that gave a comprehensive review of all the major sites of ancient Egypt, no small undertaking! This was my first time doing a multi-day tour and it was well worth it to get such expert guides and an immaculately planned itinerary. All the guides were extremely professional but I want to specifically give thanks to Mahmoud my tour coordinator who made everything absolutely seamless. When I got sick for 24 hours he proactively arranged a room for me to stay in free of charge. He also made it easy to customize the tour to include a few extra stops at the very last minute, and helped to resolve an issue I had with a perfume seller on my behalf. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend this tour company and the tour itself.

      1) While I was choosing the room, I selected "twin" for two people. Does that mean there will be two beds in one room? 2) Secondly, How much does the total entrance fees total up to? On the description it said $100 per person. But for which ones? Can you break it down? 3) Also I wanted to add extra days and go to Sham El- Shiekh, and Massari. Is that possible to rearrange somehow within the same budget?
