    TourShare delivered a perfect blend of value and quality. The 5-star Nile cruise was beautiful and comfortable, and we visited incredible ancient sites like Karnak, Valley of the Kings, and Edfu. The highlight was the visit to the new Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) – absolutely breathtaking! The guides were knowledgeable and friendly, and everything was well organized. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to explore Egypt in comfort on a budget!

    I recently booked the Nile River Cruise Explorer from Luxor to Aswan through TourShare, and I can confidently say it was one of the most memorable travel experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment we arrived in Luxor, everything was perfectly organized. The itinerary was beautifully balanced with just the right mix of guided tours, relaxation on the cruise, and optional upgrades (we chose the flight & cruise upgrade, which made everything even more seamless and luxurious). Sailing down the Nile was like stepping into history—visiting the Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, and Edfu felt surreal. The guides arranged by TourShare were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, and their insights brought every ancient site to life. The cruise ship itself exceeded expectations—comfortable cabins, delicious food, and breathtaking views from the deck as we drifted between temples and villages along the river. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and we never felt rushed or overwhelmed. If you're considering a Nile cruise, don’t hesitate—TourShare handles everything with professionalism, warmth, and expertise. We felt completely cared for from start to finish, and this trip will stay with us forever.

    The tour was absolutely fantastic! The transparency and professionalism of the team were truly outstanding. Taher planned every detail with great care, making us feel both cared for and safe throughout the journey. The team was always available to listen to our needs and regularly asked for feedback to improve our experience. We were accompanied by two wonderful local guides: Ahmed guided us through Cairo and Giza, while Salah stayed with us for the entire Nile cruise. Both were incredibly valuable to our cultural experience, and we especially appreciated the insights they shared about modern-day Egypt as well. The tour was a crescendo of emotions and surprises. A heartfelt thank you to Tourshare for this dream trip; we’ll definitely recommend it to all our friends and keep an eye out for future opportunities!

    My 8-day experience in Egypt was unforgettable, thanks to the exceptional organization and expertise demonstrated by TourShare. In particular, our tour guide, Ahmed Ali, stood out for his professionalism, courtesy and attention to detail, accompanying us with extreme dedication and respect at every stage of the trip. The tour, reserved for a small group, allowed us to appreciate each attraction calmly, without any pressure, ensuring in-depth visits and a leisurely pace. Noteworthy was the tasting of traditional dishes, including delicious Kushary, which enriched the cultural experience. The hotel facilities selected lived up to expectations: impeccable cleanliness, high comfort and quality services. Given the excellence of the service provided, I will not hesitate to book again with TourShare on a future return to Egypt and even other destinations, should they extend their offerings globally. I would highly recommend TourShare to anyone wishing to experience a curated, authentic and high-profile professional trip.
