    Egypt mythology comes to life with MoMo, our tour guide. Hotels were good, the felucca was great, who doesn’t like a pyramid or 10, and temples galore. The overnight trains were very tired. No hard sells to buy stuff from co-ops. There is a lot of stuff that we did have to deal with and Egypt tipping is over the top, and problems just didn’t appear to happen. It’s like they’ve done it all before…

    Once we arrived at the Cairo airport, we were greeted by your representative. He took care of everything, so entering Egypt was a breeze. Our 10 day trip was amazing. We were kept busy every day, no time to be bored. I will say, the sleeper train needs some upkeep, but given the situation of the country we were in, we made the best of the situation. Our tour guide, Nader, is the best!!! He made our group feel like we were family. He is knowledgeable, funny, patient and very helpful helping us with the locals. I recommend this trip to anyone who wants to learn Egyptian history and experience first hand Egyptian culture. This was an amazing adventure!!!

    The tour was absolutely fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to see Egypts highlights. It was well organised and we managed to see the best of Egypt without any stress. In addition to the fantastic sites, our tour guide Momo tour guide had vast amounts of information and history to share at each site which was invaluable due to a lack of signage at some sites. He never failed to make us laugh and kept the mood of the group high throughout the whole tour

    Tour was amazing, it was everything I wanted to see. Our tour guide Amir was incredible, I cannot find the words to describe what a unique, patient, kind, considerate and understanding man he is. He made the trip worth while and his knowledge on all the outings we took was impeccable.

    This was the trip of my life, absolutely awesome, from getting into the ancient pyramids, walking around the funerary temple of Saqqara, visiting the Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel, Karnak and all the amazing ancient temples plus viewing the mummies of the Great Ramses II or young Tuthankamun. But that was just half of the fun, we got an amazing group of people who made this double better thanks to our awesome guide and his people's skills making us bound like a family and getting us into the local areas on his spare time to smoke some shisha or meet the locals who were always so welcoming and nice, mostly the children waving at us with such enthusiasm and big smiles. I went there looking for ancient temples and I come back remembering its friendly people even more than the temples themselves. A great experience, definitely worth it. Check when to travel though as I have the feeling summer may be a bit too hot for many, mainly if you are used to north Europe standards like me, but shoulder season (October) was great, not too hot and not cold at all.0

    The Tour guide was excellent. He was perfectly organised and his knowledge of Egyptology is very impressive, and the way he spoke of Egypt so passionately, it was engaging and made the experience all the more enjoyable.

    Not only was the tour itself well selected, visiting many of the historical and cultural highlights that gives Egypt its well deserved reputation as a must on any travel list, but the logistics and organisation were extremely well handled: from the first booking, to arriving at Cairo, all the way through the tour to the flight home again, everything was well handled and I could just relax and enjoy the holiday. Even the group itself were wonderful; everyone getting on well together to create a wonderful atmosphere and made the whole holiday an unforgettable experience.

    Mahmoud was unbelievable. He went above and beyond for us and I would highly recommend him to any traveller. The tour was fantastic, well planned and good value and topped off with Mahmoud's exceptional knowledge and passion for his career. Had a great time and would travel with OTG again.

    Vicki

    Asked on August 13th, 2022

    Do I have to be fully vaccinated for COVID-19, to join your group tours? Or any other requirements, regarding COVID-19?

    Travel Support
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten August 2022

      At this time, we do still require all persons over 18 years to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination if travelling to a limited number of destinations, including Egypt. As our highest priority is the health and safety of our travellers, crew and local communities, passengers are required to be fully vaccinated when travelling with us to countries that are still in the early stages of vaccinating and managing COVID outbreaks. This practice also ensures that we are not adding avoidable strain to any country's healthcare system, where resources remain under pressure. If you are unwilling or unable to be vaccinated for medical reasons, you may apply for an exemption, which will be assessed on an individual basis. To apply, we ask you to provide supporting documentation from a medical professional to our Customer Care for review.

    We would like to know which hotels you use for the accommodation. Is there any difference between the standard hotels you use and the ones of the upgrade?

    Accommodation
    • On The Go ToursOperatorWritten August 2022

      On the Essential Egypt - 10 days tour we use 3-4 star hotels, the exact hotels will only be confirmed closer to departure. For the upgraded King Tutankhamun - 10 day tour we use 4-5 star accommodation.
