  • John
    · October 2nd, 2025
    This is a very comprehensive tour of the highlights of Egypt. However, it was quite fast paced; and in a crowded country with lots of other people including tourists, it may be challenging for those who are hearing or mobility impaired. Besides the archaeological sites and temples, one of the highlights of the tour was the white desert. This was so beautiful, but understand that when you camp overnight, it is bare bones camping not glamping in any fashion. The Nubian village add on tour had a nice cruise down the Nile but at the village it was mainly a marketplace. The cultural experience was a bit lackluster. Overall the operators in each city, our drivers and guides were excellent, especially Marwa, our guide in Cairo, who was exceptional! We realize that five star hotels in other countries can be variable so please understand that it may not be equivalent to five star hotels that you are used to. The place in Luxor was fabulous, but the place in Cairo was a bit dated and quite far away from anything that is walkable. You need to Uber. The only other comment would be that a more detailed itinerary with approximate times involved in car travel would have been appreciated so that we can be better prepared for the journey. There are many hours riding in a mini bus or car that may not be ideal for some. Overall, we had a good experience with AB Voyages. However, we wanted to be transparent for others that follow so that they are better suited to know what to expect when they arrive.

    Accomodation good. Egyptologist guides personable & knowledgeable. Where possible, good to negotiate early starts when visit temples & tombs in Luxor as this helps avoid crowds & the heat. So we generally were at our first site by 6 am.

    · October 1st, 2025
    This tour is great for people who want an in-depth look at the great archaeological sites of Egypt on a fast paced tour! It covers a lot in a short time but there is time to relax on the Nile cruise. Hotels are good but check if you are getting the Old Cataract hotel as shown in the advert if you really want it as the alternative is the Movenpick on Elephantine Island which is a wonderful modern hotel but not the atmospheric Cataract! There was a great group of oud, drum and tambourine players outside in the evening - very skilled and friendly with only a handful of people watching. Make sure you get to the sites before 4pm when they close. We missed seeing the Nileometer. Had a lovely walk around the perimeter at dusk watching the waterbirds. The Egyptologists have such a wealth of knowledge to try and impart in a very short time. They were great! Anas made the cruise part of the trip particularly enjoyable with his calm unrushed approach. He arranged an unscheduled trip to Dendera temple which was wonderful and much appreciated. It seemed as though nothing was too much trouble for him including my constant questioning! He was also willing to get us away by 6am to see the sites before the heat and crowds. Outstanding guide! We would like to have had much more time with Marwan in Cairo as she had so much to tell us but the highlights she had time to explain were so interesting. Tony was excellent at arranging pick ups and drop offs and generally overseeing the organisation in Cairo. He tried hard to accomodate our special requests and differing needs.
