- Aalicia· June 3rd, 2025Very welcoming and helpful staff. Tour guides are knowledgeable and experienced and drivers know how to handle the crazy traffic. I was amazed by everything we were able to see and learn. Loved the hotel and cruise. Both hotel and ship were clean with comfortable gorgeous room, and excellent food. Loved the cappuccino, Egyptian rice, and the fish offered! The server assigned to our table on the ship spoke fluent Spanish and was very accommodating to our every need. We were able to see during the eight days more then I could have imagined including enormous temples, tombs, and of course the pyramids. I could not have done this trip if not for this wonderful tour which I highly recommend. I also recommend visiting during cooler months, choosing them round trip flight option instead of the over night train to Luxor. Although the train staff was always available, the train is old, noisy, and bathroom is shared. After little to no sleep on the train, I was very tired for all of the planned sightseeing. I also recommend using TUK TUKs instead of the horse carriage ride offered to and from hotel towards the end of the trip. In Egypt one is expected to tip pretty much everyone so do keep small bills. Also, watch out for the aggressive street vendors. If one so much makes eye contact they will really go out of their way expecting a purchase so look forward and do not stop as there are many of them around. Overall I highly recommend this tour company for its cordial, professional, friendly staff, all of the sights included, knowledge of guides, cleanliness and comfort of hotel and cruise ship, and great food.Show more

Trip date: May 2025 - JRJabin· May 19th, 2025My wife and I had a wonderful time viewing many of the wonders of Egypt! We were happy we chose Holidays in Egypt tours as they made us feel safe in a pretty hectic country. Our guides were very knowledgeable and great company, special shout out to Soheila and Ahmed for their fantastic insights. Being a relatively small group allowed us to see many amazing sights with enough time to explore at our own pace and still time to just relax on the cruise enjoying the beautiful views of the Nile.Show moreHoliday In Egypt commented on this reviewDear Jabin, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience!

Pamela· May 19th, 2025From the moment we arrived at the airport, everything was perfectly organized: we were warmly welcomed, the transportation was very comfortable, the accommodation excellent, and the variety of food allowed us to enjoy local flavors in a safe and delicious way. One thing I truly appreciated was being part of a small group of only six people it made the entire experience much more personal and intimate. Each transfer between cities was punctual and seamless. Egypt is simply magical—its culture, history, and the kindness of its people left me deeply amazed. It’s a destination that transforms you. I’d like to highlight the outstanding work of the team: the drivers were always attentive and respectful. Sohaila Fuad, our guide in Cairo, guided us with beautiful energy and an impressive knowledge of Egyptian history. And most of all, I want to thank Ahmed Kassem, our main guide throughout most of the tour. From Aswan to Hurghada, Ahmed was always present, explaining with clarity and patience, respecting our pace, and making us feel truly safe. His guidance made all the difference. One of the most emotional moments of the trip was thanks to him: being among the first to enter the Temple of Horus. Experiencing it in silence and emptiness was a real gift—an image and feeling that I will cherish forever. I 100% recommend this tour. Egypt is an unmissable destination, and I would repeat this experience without hesitation.Show moreHoliday In Egypt commented on this reviewDear Pamela, Thank you so much for your beautiful and detailed feedback!

Show moreTrip date: April 2025- Macarena· May 18th, 2025One thing we didn’t like about the cruise was that there were additional costs that weren’t clearly explained at the time of booking. For example, entrance fees to the temples are not included and cost an extra $150 USD, plus a mandatory $64 USD tip per person for the entire stay, which is charged on the first day. We were also not informed beforehand that tipping is a cultural norm in Egypt and expected almost everywhere. While we understand and respect that, it was uncomfortable not knowing whether the tips were actually reaching the people who provided us with direct service. Overall, it would have been much better to have all of this information clearly communicated in advance, so we could make an informed decision with the full costs in mind.Show moreHoliday In Egypt commented on this reviewDear Macarena, Thanks so much for your honest feedback!

- LKLindy· May 18th, 2025Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishThe truth is that the trip to Egypt was an incredible experience. All the treatment was excellent from the first day. The vans were always clean, with air conditioning (very necessary in the heat!) and always on time, waiting for us at each stop. I would especially like to highlight our guides. Ahmed Kassem was a genius, he accompanied us all the time, explained each temple clearly and gave us just enough time to enjoy and learn without rushing. And also a huge thanks to Sohaila Fuad, who was super attentive, always concerned that we were well, and with an impressive knowledge. She explained everything in a very clear and pleasant way, you could tell she knew a lot. I would also like to thank the drivers, who always had the best vibe and made us feel comfortable and safe during the whole tour. I recommend this tour without a doubt. It was a comfortable, safe and very enriching way to get to know Egypt.Show moreHoliday In Egypt commented on this reviewDear Lindy, Thank you so much for your kind words!

- Maedelyn· May 5th, 2025ACCOMMODATION - The hotel in Giza was beautiful, spacious and clean with kind staff and a delicious buffet of food. The all-inclusive resort, Casa del Mar in Hugarda, was perfect offering a beachfront area and a large inviting pool area. NILE RIVER CRUISE - The vibe was relaxing with a rooftop pool and sunloungers on the top deck. It was eventful with a live belly dancing show and a lovely dinner on the top deck. The towel art brought us joy and caught our hearts. Advice: purchases made on board the cruise ship may be more expensive than buying outside the cruise ship. TRANSPORT - The SLEEPER TRAIN cabin for 2 people was not as bad as I was anticipating. The bed was comfortable despite the mattress/cushion being thinner than a regular mattress. The train was definitely old and cramped however, it was big enough to accommodate a petite asian girl like me with my 5'10 brother and our 2 overhead cabin luggage. Dinner (chicken and rice) on the sleeper train was delicious and although breakfast (3 types of bread) was simple, we appreciated having food provided. There was no wifi on the train as expected from an old train, and the communal toilet was not the most pleasant, but having a sink in the cabin where we could brush our teeth in was helpful. Overnight on the sleeper train is manageable. On the other hand, we had varied experiences on the BUSES. The first 5 hour bus journey to Hugarda was initially so warm which later improved as apparently, another passenger asked the driver to turn up the AC, and it was cramped. However, the 7 hour bus ride from Hugarda to Cairo was less cramped and cooler from the outset. The latter was more convenient but both were very long rides. FOOD - included in most of the trip. delicious and varied. so many to choose from. We got to eat an authentic Koshari from the best Kosher restaurants in Cairo. PICK UP AND DROP OFF - Convenient but there was at times miscommunication. My advice to the operator is to clearly state that the sign that will be held up by the driver is "HOLIDAY IN EGYPT" as the text message was "the driver will be holding a sign with your name on it." Another advice would be to make this sign as big as possible so it can be more easily seen amidst all the chaos. Other times when the pick up drivers were not holding up a sign or did not have a badge was at the pick up point in Hugarda or at Cairo. TOUR GUIDES- Sohaila was our tour guide in Giza and she was knowledgeable and friendly. Ahmed Kaseem was our tour guide from Aswan to Luxor and he was passionate, knowledgeable, credible, patient and considerate. Ahmed Kaseem haggled for some of our group and ensured we got the best price for what we were buying. He was respectful to the vendors on the street and would ask us if we wanted to buy and if no one wanted to buy, he would kindly say sorry and return the items to the vendors respectfully. TOURS - expect long days and early start and finish, sometimes with a 4 am call time which my family was used to from our years of travelling. This was necessary to allow us to see everything in our itinerary with sufficient time and to allow the guides to explain everything in detail. OPERATOR - Holiday in Egypt was reachable and responded, in a timely manner. The operators introduced themselves. Mohammed was sweet. He met up with us at the train station and accompanied us at the train station until our sleeper train arrived to ensure we were safe. Alaa also introduced himself in Luxor which was polite.Show moreHoliday In Egypt commented on this reviewDear madelyn , Thank you so much for sharing your thoughtful and detailed review of your recent trip with us.

Asked on April 8th, 2025Since the trip requires minimum five people but we only have two, does this mean that we couldn't apply for the trip? Or we could still apply and wait to see if there's any other group can join us? If the latter is the case, when would be the last minute for us to know whether the trip gets enough people or not?
- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written April 2025
We're happy to confirm that you and your sister can still join the 8-day trip in June, even if there are fewer than five people in the group.

- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written April 2025
Most of the tours start early in the morning around 5 am wake up call to avoid crowds and to align with the rest of the tours schedule. 3 am wake up calls are rare.

Lee
Traveler•Written April 2025Do we get a choice of a hotel, such as for Cairo, do we get to pick Helnan Dreamland or Cairo World Trade?
- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written April 2025
Most of the early morning wake-ups are for optional tours, such as the Hot Air Balloon and Abu Simbel, which are both highly recommended but not mandatory. You're also absolutely welcome to skip any optional tour and enjoy your day relaxing on the cruise or exploring the city at your own pace. Helnan Dreamland is currently our preferred and upgraded hotel compared to WTC, though both are very good.
