    My mother and me really enjoyed this organized trip. From the first day until the last day we felt super comfortable with our tour operator Eyad. He was available via WhatsApp and the communication worked really well. Even when suddenly there was a flight cancelled, he was available in the very early morning and helped us to get the next flight. Our guides Khaled, Yusir and Maha were also very attendant and explained a lot to us in the different cultural sites, since my mother and me are very interested in Egyptian culture and heritage. Our three guides really made the time in the temples a well informed and fun experience. And we enjoyed to be in a small group, so we could ask everything we wanted. The hotels were very nice and the accommodation highlight was the cruise ship „Royal Elite“. The staff was so polite and attendant, we were very happy with them. We can highly recommend this tour. It was really worth it. We got to know the ancient Egyptian culture and buy having our great tour guides, we could also ask a lot about Egyptian lifestyle today. Thank you so much! We are looking forward to our next trip to Egypt!

    Our Egypt holiday was perfect. This was our 2nd trip to Egypt so we knew what we wanted and what to expect There was only myself and my wife in our tour, so this was like a private tour. This holiday was made perfect because of the tour guides. Everything that was on our wish list was done including extra things that were recommended. Hotels were very good and transfers and internal flights were all organised. Even had high tea at the Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan. This was prebooked by our tour guide. Saqqara and Dendera optional excursions were fantastic. These included lunches which were great. Lit up Luxor temple and Kom Ombo temple at night were just amazing. Breathtakingly beautiful. Special thanks to our Cairo tour guide Mona who went above and beyond to help and advise us. She organised the new Grand Egyptian Museum tickets and entry into the Red pyramid and great pyramid. Also special thanks to tour guide Mohammed in Luxor who recommended our fantastic extra day visit to valley of the Queens and extra temples. Special thank you to Peter, Dina and Abdulla all tour guides who gave excellent information at every site visited. Drivers through out the tour were experienced, careful, and safe with clean vehicles. The 3 day Nile Cruise was perfect. Rooms on the cruise ship were clean and a good size. Also we were aware that entrance fees were not included. Please note that these were paid by card on site. Cash was not allowed. Cash was used for tipping and extra personal purchases. We also had US dollars in case. We highly recommend Itaca Holiday tour company. Thank you for a wonderful holiday in Egypt.
