- WNWes· July 4th, 2025Our Tour leader was Mohammed. Very poor communication the whole trip. The only time he reached out to us was to upsell us and get us to send more money. He never had an itinerary for us the whole trip. I had to reach out every night to figure out when and where our excursions would start. Frequently we were jammed into tiny vehicles for transfers. Our last one took the driver 2 trips to get us to the airport. I would never use tour radar again after this experience.Show moreTrip date: June 2025
- FDFergus· June 8th, 2025The tour was exceptional. Our initial pickup was well organised and smooth. We were collected directly outside the arrivals at Cairo airport and transported to our hotel. The hotel in Cairo (Swiss Inn) was comfortable and clean. Our Holiday in Egypt contact met us for an initial briefing and when we decided to change from the train to a flight there was no issue and it was sorted with no fuss. The service from all the guides throughout the tour was first class and all spoke excellent English. The Nile cruise was such a great experience with a great balance of relaxing and enjoying cruising along the Nile and stopping off and visiting the sites of ancient Egypt. Again our guide was a fully trained Egyptologist and his knowledge really added to the experience and brought the story of Egypt to life. The cruise boat had a great selection of international and local food for all meals and the staff really went above and beyond. Could not recommend the tour enough especially for people like us who were visiting Egypt for the first time.Show more
Trip date: June 2025 - AEAnna· June 8th, 2025This tour was perfect, all the hotels we stayed in were of very high standard with staff who went above and beyond and great food selections. The tour guides, Sue, Mohammed and Ahmed Kassem were amazing. They organised everything perfectly and looked after us all so well. The cruise on the river nile was just gorgeous, a little dream. The boat and staff were all perfect. I would highly recommend this tour, the tour guides are all so knowledgeable and its just mind blowing hearing about the history of ancient Egypt and how everything is so well preserved. How lucky are we to be able to experience all of this history.Show moreTrip date: June 2025
- 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

Our guides were very knowledgeable and great company, special shout out to Soheila and Ahmed for their fantastic insights.

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.

Traveler•Written June 2025Is the hot balloon ride included? I want to see something more than temples, being our first time in Egypt.
- Holiday In EgyptOperator•Written June 2025
The hot air balloon ride is available on the 'Book Now' page. The balloon flight takes place on Day 6 and offers breathtaking views over the Valley of the Kings. I'd recommend the Nubian Village Tour. It's a beautiful cultural experience that gives you a glimpse into local Nubian life in Aswan.

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.
