    Unparalleled experience! This tour exceeded expectations: camel rides by the Pyramids, exploring Karnak’s columns, and Abu Simbel’s grandeur. TourShare’s team handled everything with warmth and professionalism. Left Egypt with a full heart and camera. Book this tour—you won’t regret it!

    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.

    I recently embarked on my "Dream Trip" with TourShare and I'm happy to say that they exceeded my expectations. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of amazing, and I owe it all to the exceptional team at TourShare including the passionate guides -- whose engaging manner of sharing knowledge made each site and its history come to life. The tour itself was well organized, offering a variety of transportation, sites, and excursions. While things did start early, and moved quickly, it was this pace that allowed us to explore so much of Egypt in such a short time. It was a perfect taster of this beautiful country. In short, I recommend TourShare for anyone seeking a seamless and exceptional travel experience. Thank you/Shukran/شكراً to the entire team for making my dream trip a reality. I'm already looking forward to my next adventure with TourShare!

    There’s something peaceful about drifting along the Nile. I really appreciated the slower pace and the opportunity to connect with Egypt’s deep history. Abu Simbel was powerful, both in size and in spirit. The balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings was a quiet, beautiful moment I’ll never forget.

    What really stood out was how personalized it felt, despite being part of a group. The guides were not only knowledgeable but also hilarious and full of local stories that brought history to life. The highlight? A surprise sunrise hot-air balloon ride over Luxor—absolutely breathtaking! Yes, the days were busy (we packed in SO much!), but the team’s energy and flexibility kept everything smooth. If you want a trip that’s equal parts educational, fun, and stress-free, Tourshare is the way to go. 10/10—can’t wait to book my next adventure with them!
