    Egypt is definitely a buck list trip with so many things to see and experience! For that reason I really appreciate TourRadar taking care of all the logistical details. Your program really provides peace of mind in handling all accommodations, transportation, etc. It allows the traveler to feel stress free! Our private tour guide was the best part! I can’t praise George Basher enough!! Not only is he knowledgeable, professional and resourceful but he’s one of those people that makes you feel like you’ve been best friends with them for a long time! He’s personable, sociable, compassionate and he most definitely has jokes! This tour was recommended to me by one of my colleagues, (who raved about it), so I was ecstatic to find out we had George as the same tour guide (small world)! I will absolutely be recommending this trip to everyone I know and to request George as their tour guide!!

    The tour was great! I was very pleased with how it was structured and how attentive everyone was to your needs. Our tour guide George Basher could not have done a better job! He is very knowledgeable and was excited to answer any question we had. He also made sure to inform us of how to handle certain situations that may arise in all the places we went. I couldn't have asked for a better guide! All in all, it was a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it to anyone

    We had a great time with this tour. We definitely felt safe and taken care of from our arrival, which was an important point to us. Our tour guide, George, was amazing. Very knowledgeable, polite, tried his best to accommodate our needs and was punctual. He always picked the less crowded times for the visits, and gave us plenty of time to enjoy by ourselves too.His explanation made the incredible sites we visited even more enjoyable. The tour logistic was great, the bus and the rooms nicer than expected. We definitely recommend timeless for that, as from our own experience after the tour finished, moving on your own in Egypt can be quite a hassle. Overall, we highly recommend this tour, timeless and George. The only downsides we found were the mandatory partner shops visit (4 in total, not advertised in the tour description, but quite time consuming...) and the food which was average.

    I had an amazing experience exploring Egypt with George as our tour guide, George was very patient and attentive to our group's needs, making sure everyone was comfortable and engaged throughout the tour. George was punctual, organised, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we had a memorable trip. I highly recommend George to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and friendly guide to explore the wonders of Egypt.

    George is an expert Egyptologist. He has immense knowledge about the egypt history. He explains the history in a way that you will remember it for a very long time. He is polite and jovial. Very clear in his commuication. He gave us a lot of time in every sites to explore for ourselves. He never rushed us. His recommendations for food, shopping, souvenirs are the best. Can't go wrong. This trip wouldn't have been so enjoyable if it wasn't for George as the guide. Thank you George. Highly recommend George as the guide and I am surely going with him in my next egypt trip.

    George has a delightful sense of humor, his knowledge of the ancient history is phenomenal and he answered all our questions in great detail. George made the group feel like family and we build everlasting connections with our traveling group mates. He is a teacher, mother hen, and superb guide. Would highly recommend him as your guide in Egypt.

    Shane

    Asked on April 5th, 2025

    I am interested in booking this trip. If I choose to fly to Aswan, will I be escorted to the boat directly or do I have to wait until the group arrives? Would I have to book a hotel myself during this day? If I choose to pay now for the extra activities what guarantee do I have that the organizer/guide will receive the money and wont ask me to pay again. Lastly, How do I contact the organizer/guide on the 1st day to tell them that I have arrive and I am at the airport?

      If you choose to fly to Aswan, the flight upgrade add-on includes the night accommodation instead of the overnight travel and the airport transfers to Cairo airport and from Aswan airport. We will take care of arranging for the extra night in Cairo hotel and the transfer to the cruise upon your arrival in Aswan. You could choose to book and pay for the optional excursions/extra activities when you are on tour. For the airport pick up on your arrival in Cairo, you could just confirm your arrival flight details with me and I will arrange for the airport pick up including the meet & greet service at Cairo airport.
