    · June 14th, 2025
    The tour has been amazing overall. The tour is very organized and our tour guides, Sohaila and Ahmed always went far and beyond to accommodate our requests. Our tour manager, Mohamed is very kind and accommodating. He even gave me and my partner free flight upgrades for our tour. He also gave us discounts. Our Cairo Tour is lovely. We were able to see the Pyramids which is a dream of mine. The cruise is very beautiful as well. Our cabins are very elegant and we love it. Egypt is very safe as long as you stay with your tour guides. There are a lot of people in the streets that ask for money but I think I understand given the economy of the country .

    The overall trip was so full & educational & well organized to a tee. Mohammed is a legend with all the details & was on every point of accommodation/ train/transfer for flights & I felt totally safe in his hands. I would definitely be more clear about the train to Aswan & Luxor back to Cairo as that seems like it shouldn't be an option & just put a flight transfer to & from Aswan & Luxor in the itinerary. Our guide Ahmed was top notch with all the information about every visit we made to the temples & was great to organize the transfers etc & coordinate everything. He is a mind of so much knowledge & I learned so much from him. I loved this tour.

    My partner and I went on a tour with Holidays in Egypt. We had such an amazing time. Our guide Hasan was very funny and it was a pleasure to listen to his stories about Egypt. Sometimes things don't go to plan like our hot air balloon being cancelled and still waiting on our money back but you can't control everything such as weather or flight delayed unfortunately. Otherwise we both really enjoyed our holidays and recommand it. People need to be ready and prepared for an Egyptian holidays cause this is not resting at all. People are constantly asking you for money, tips as long as you look like à tourist. Even in public places such as airports and museum. Egypt is beautiful but very overwhelming. Thanks Hasan for being à great guide and wish you all the best ! Charlotte and Michael

    My husband and I had several wished fir experiences that were not included in the Cleopatra itinerary. Holiday in Egypt expertly accommodated these and managed somehow seamlessly woven in our 10 day+ stay in Egypt. The immigration process was smooth, the upon arrival visa process was smooth. May weather was not as hot as I anticipated; the breezes at historical sites were welcome , the guides at each regions made clear what to expect and toilet and water breaks were available Breakfasts at the hotels and cruise ships were international and did not lack selections. Some unexpected; we added a day trip to Alexandria with round air, which turned into a trip with a driver and a guide. The visit to the Nbian village could have been longer and detailed The airport security process with 2 checkin size luggages for us in the mid80s was worrysome. But our drivers and the airport helpers managed help with our luggages. Wow, I recomment Holiday in Egypr fir unique exoeriences in Egypt.

    The tour and the process for organising the tour has been excellent. No issues. The Holiday in Egypt team including Hassan Hosney and Sohaila Fuad were excellent. Friendly, attentive, very knowledgeable and their English was excellent. I would be happy to recommend this tour, Holiday in Egypt and these tour guides.

We were able to know from the hand of our extraordinary guide AHMED KASSEM the most important sites of this great culture. Our guide AHMED KASSEM, always attentive, caring and giving us well-founded explanations and deep knowledge as an Egyptologist. The boat was very beautiful and the food was delicious.

    · May 1st, 2025
    Venturing on my first guided tour in Egypt with Holidays in Egypt after a history of independent travel proved to be an exceptionally rewarding decision. From the outset, I was thoroughly impressed by their seamless organisation and unwavering commitment to our safety and comfort. Navigating the complexities of Egypt, from transportation to entry queues, can be daunting for a first-timer to Egypt. However, Holidays in Egypt expertly handled every logistical detail, transforming potential stress into effortless ease. The relief of not having to negotiate every step allowed me to fully immerse myself in the profound experiences Egypt has to offer. The depth of local knowledge and historical insights shared by our guides was truly enriching; I learned far more than I anticipated. Our journey began the moment we landed at Cairo's airport, where our friendly driver was promptly waiting to escort us to a magnificent 5-star hotel near the iconic Giza pyramids. Following a smooth check-in and a well-arranged start to our first morning, we enjoyed breakfast and embarked on a fascinating tour of Cairo. Our Cairo guide, a true professional with a university background in Egyptian history, brought the ancient world to life as we explored the awe-inspiring scale and age of these remarkable artifacts. The day's explorations left us happily tired, and the overnight sleeper train to Aswan was a welcome respite. The Holidays in Egypt team continued to provide exceptional support, accompanying us to our cabins, ensuring the train staff were appropriately tipped for excellent service. While the "first-class" sleeper train might align more closely with a Western 3-star standard in terms of age and space, it was perfectly comfortable for a night's sleep. It's worth noting that the single meal provided caters well to meat eaters, but those with specific dietary requirements should be aware of the limited options. Also, be sure to download entertainment beforehand, as there is no Wi-Fi and cellular data is patchy to nonexistent. Arriving in Aswan around 11 am, we were warmly greeted by our new guide, a charming Luxor local who affectionately dubbed our group of twelve the "Royal Family." Spending the next four days with the knowledgeable and engaging Mr. Kassem was an absolute pleasure. Our introduction to Aswan included a visit to a beautiful temple and a local lunch before we checked into our luxurious 5-star Nile cruise. The cabins were spacious, boasting large windows that offered breathtaking panoramic views of the ever-changing scenery along the Nile. The subsequent three nights on the cruise were a highlight, with seamless transitions on and off the boat to explore the significant temples and tombs between Aswan and Luxor. The guides' historical expertise, combined with their invaluable local insights for smooth navigation, truly elevated the tour. We also appreciated the ample downtime to unwind by the pool, enjoying cocktails as the timeless beauty of the Nile Riverbanks drifted by. On our final day, an early start allowed us to avoid the crowds, and we concluded our sightseeing by early afternoon. With our overnight train back to Cairo scheduled for the evening, Holidays in Egypt thoughtfully arranged for us to relax by the pool and freshen up before our driver returned to safely escort us back to the train station. While an upgrade to flights was offered, we found the comfortable sleeper train perfectly adequate for an overnight journey. The exceptional service continued right until the very end. Upon our arrival at the Cairo train station, our reliable driver was there to meet us, even taking care of tipping the train staff before ensuring our safe and timely transfer to the airport. My experience in Egypt was truly unforgettable, largely thanks to the outstanding care and meticulous planning of Holidays in Egypt. Their impeccable coordination, attention to both group and individual needs, and unwavering focus on our safety created a stress-free and enriching adventure. I wholeheartedly recommend Holidays in Egypt and commend them for setting such a high standard for future tours. They have undoubtedly earned future business!"

    started the tour very well, until the 3rd day of the cruise; we were on a temple after 6 pm. I fractured my right ankle. i must tell you how well our tour guide Ahmed Kassem took care of me, He never left my side, arrange all the transportation to and from the ship, to the doctor, to the pharmacy; arrange our flight back from Luxor to Cairo and make sure that a wheelchair was available. He coordinated with the owner of the company and paid all expenses for the vans, doctors, medications and supply, flight back to Cairo. We never felt abandoned and make sure we could arrange an early flight back home. My husband and I are forever grateful to have been taken care so well. Thank you Chertty and Ivan. (I would have give a 5 star, but I got hurt and couldn't finish tour, but you got a 5 star for taking care of me so well) I want to thank my tour group people. There were 14 in our group and everyone gave me comfort and care as much as they could. Thank you
