    Great tour, all the guides were excellent, going out of their way to ensure we enjoyed the trip. The Accomodation was excellent in Cairo and Hurghada was amazing- they were a little further out from the main towns but still lovely. The cruise down the Nile was very enjoyable. The whole trip has made us want to come back again and explore more of Egypt especially the Red Sea areas.

    The tour was well organised and everything went smoothly from start to final drop off at airport. Our guide took care of all the luggage transfers, tipping and no request was a problem. He was also very knowledgeable on all aspects of Egyptian life, especially its history. Highly recommend Beyond the Nile tours.

    We have loved our tour so far. Started at the Tolip Golden Plaza in Cairo which had great buffet breakfast and kids loved the pool. Our guide for Giza and old Egypt museum was Abdul who is an archaeologist and knows his stuff. Next we flew to Aswan and started the Nile cruise to Luxor with Medhat as our guide who was very informative and knowledgeable. Our flight from Cairo to Aswan was delayed due to an outage across all of Egypt's air traffic control so we missed Philae Temple but the tour company added an extra temple at the end of our last day in Luxor which was amazing. Medhat also helped navigate a pharmacy when our 11yo son got sick. The temples, especially the grandness of Abu Simbel, are just amazing to visit and walk through, with the history being explained thoroughly by Medhat. We enjoyed the cruise ship, it had everything we needed, food was nice, kids loved the pool and the towel creatures on the beds after room cleaned. We look forward to the Hurghada red sea part of our tour (no guide accompanies us there, but transport is provided). Of note, we visited a papyrus shop, an essential oil shop and an alabaster shop which were interesting and no pressure to buy anything.

    Medhat was one of the most invested and patient guides I have ever met! Not only did he answer every question we posed (and let me preface with the fact that we were a very curious group) but he also provides us with such in depth story telling! He truly guided us every step of the way and became a friend who we felt very comfortable with! He helped ensure that our trip was not only rich with information but also full of life! Amazing guide and person- I recommend full heartedly! :)

    Beyond the nile fullfiled my expectations. Its was a great trip to have an overall idea of what Egypt is. Very good guides and hotel. Manuel early morning tours. The Nile cruise is very relaxing. My only complaint is about airports in Egypt, but not the companys fault.
