    · November 21st, 2025
    The tour was good. We saw a lot of amazing sights in a short time. If you are mobility challenged, this trip is difficult. We were told it was accessible, but it wasn't. The tour boat (2 star rooms, 5 star service) didn't have an elevator so we had to use stairs to get to our room and to the restaurant. The tour has a lot of walking with limited options for sitting, though some places had golf carts to take you around a little. The tour operator did not fly with us, which made it difficult when we ran into plane delays in Aswan. We greatly enjoyed the trip despite the difficulties.

    We had the private highlights of Egypt tour for our family of 4. Words can not describe the outstanding adventure we have had! Everything was very well arranged by the touroperator Truly Egypt tours, I think by Mac. The whole process of booking and than the questions and answers was fluently. We got answers directly sometimes in a few minutes, which gave a lot of trust. Also we felt save everywhere with our tourguides. They were very proffesional. In Cairo we had Marwah who arranged everything smoothly and spoke good and had also good knowledge of the pyramids! Also the drivers were good and of course Tony and Khaled who assist us from the airport to the hotels and vice versa. Than we got on the Nile cruisboat Ciela, one of the bigest two boats of the Nilecruises. A very beautyfull boat with friendly personnel, nice room and good beds and the food was amazing! Our touguide in Luxor and on the cruise was Ali. This was the ever best tourguide we had in our lifes! So well educated, intelligent and very kind. He knew so much about ancient history and told us so many nice stories about the Egytians and faraos. Nothing was to much for him and he felt like family. If we wanted something little different from the Itenerary he arranged it. And then of course all the beautiful and impressive temples, pyramids and the nature and scieneries so magnificant you can’t imagine. Many thanks to all of you! I will recommend this Highlights od Egypt tour by Truly Egypt tours to everyone who wants to have a once in a lifetime Experience! Don’t hesitate just book, you won’t regret it! I do not understand why Truly Egypt tours has a silver recommandation it must be gold or platinum! Again many thanks to everyone and especially to Ali who made our holiday!

    We loved the whole tour, Cairo city was excellent with the very technical and attentive Egyptologist Marwa, and sailing on the River Nile was an incredible experience. The visits with the Egyptologist Med Hat were excellent, with calm and objective explanations and time for photographs on all the tours. We don't speak English, I understand a little, and I have difficulty expressing myself, so the patience and dedication of both of us was essential for a good understanding and for the tours to be enjoyable. SEE YOU SOON, GOD WILLING.
