    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.

    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.

    It’s a good tour for first time travelers to Egypt. The tour covers everything you need to do, from visiting the great pyramids to Luxor on the Nile cruise. Our guides are very knowledgeable about the history especially, Medhat, our guide on the Nile cruise who took us to many temples and tombs. The minus one star is for accommodation in Cairo and transport time. The hotel in Cairo which we stayed for 2 nights gave us a room without working air conditioning. We requested to change our room for the second night stay and unfortunately the air conditioning was not working either. When we returned from Hurghada to stay for one more night at the end of our tour, we just booked another hotel on our own expense. On the 7th day of our tour, we got picked up from the cruise to Hurghada to stay at the all inclusive resort for one night. The drive is about 4 hours long and the resort wasn’t that impressive. We had to wait for the room to be ready and again was giving a room without working air conditioning. We went back to the front desk to request a different room. When we finally settled in the room it was 2 hours after we arrived. The next day we had to check out by noon and our pick up for our flight back to Cairo was not till 6 pm. Asked for late check out and was denied and they also cut our wristbands so we couldn’t get anything from the restaurant or the bar. Overall it’s a good tour for first time travelers but personally I’d skip the Hurghada stay if I had known.
