    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.

    The tour delivered on everything it promised and was well organized. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy much at it as my tour guide was pushy and wouldn't listen to me. It's been a couple of months. I had hoped time would allow me to remember all the amazing things I saw but when I think back to the trip I just feel aggravated over the behaviour of the guide. This was a bucket list trip that turned out to be a disappointing experience

    I recently went on a 9-day tour of Egypt with Timeless Tours, and it was absolutely fantastic! The organization was perfect, and everything went smoothly. Our local guide, George, was especially excellent – very knowledgeable and always took great care of us. Every moment of the trip was memorable, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to travel to Egypt!

    I recently returned from the incredible 9 Days, 8 Nights Nile Jewel Egyptian Tour by Timeless Tours, and I cannot speak highly enough of this unforgettable experience. First and foremost, a heartfelt thank you and congratulations to Hany, the CEO of Timeless Tours, for crafting such a thoughtfully curated and immersive itinerary. Over nine days, we explored the very heart of Egypt—from the majestic Great Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza, to the Step Pyramid in Sakkara, the Egyptian Museum, and the vibrant Old Market of Cairo. The Nile River cruise was simply magical, with each stop revealing Egypt’s timeless grandeur—Abu Simbel, Luxor Temple, Valley of the Kings, Temple of Hatshepsut, and more. The tour concluded with a perfect day of relaxation in Hurghada, soaking in the serene beauty of the Red Sea. A special shoutout to our exceptional tour guide, Remon aka Ray, who truly made this journey extraordinary. Ray is a brilliant Egyptologist whose knowledge is nothing short of astonishing. His storytelling brought ancient Egypt to life in a way that was both engaging and inspiring. Beyond his expertise, Ray’s warmth, care, and constant vigilance made us feel safe and well looked after throughout the trip. He even arranged for a personal bodyguard when we visited the Old Market—a gesture that spoke volumes about his commitment to our safety and comfort. From the moment we landed, the Timeless Tours team provided seamless airport transfers and managed every detail with precision and professionalism. Their behind-the-scenes efforts ensured that everything ran like clockwork, allowing us to enjoy the wonders of Egypt without a single worry. If you're dreaming of discovering Egypt in all its glory—without the headaches and with a touch of luxury and heart—Timeless Tours is the only way to go. Experience the magic of Egypt in a way that’s truly... TIMELESS!!!

    I had the opportunity to travel to Egypt, and the experience exceeded my expectations. The trip was very well organized, and the information provided at every stage was clear and complete, which allowed me to enjoy the experience without any worries. What I valued most was the attention of our guide, Mariam, who took care of every detail. With her, I felt like I was traveling with family. Additionally, the small group size fostered interaction and allowed for more efficient management of the tours, making each experience even more personal and enriching. I highly recommend this trip to anyone who wishes to explore Egypt in a thoughtful and memorable way.

    Well planned and was a wonderful experience. From the meet-up at the airport on arrival, to the recommendations for food and hotel choices, could not have been better. Our guide, George, from Timeless Tours was excellent and he really shared his passion and love of Egyptian history with our group. Would definitely recommend.

    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.
