    We were incredibly lucky to be accompanied by Remon during our 9-day tour of Egypt, and we cannot express enough how grateful and impressed we were with the service provided. Our guide was knowledgeable, thorough, and always available to answer any questions, enriching the journey with detailed explanations, fascinating anecdotes, and a deep understanding of Egyptian history, culture, and traditions. Every site we visited came to life through his engaging and passionate storytelling. Beyond his expertise, we truly appreciated his kindness, patience, and constant care for the group. He always made us feel welcomed, supported, and safe, even during the more demanding parts of the trip. Most importantly, we want to highlight his honesty and integrity, qualities that stood out throughout the entire experience. He always acted transparently, gave us genuine advice, and consistently prioritized our best interests, without ever pushing us into purchases or unwanted activities. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making this trip such a unique and unforgettable experience.

    This trip to Egypt has been one of the best experiences of my life! I can absolutely recommend Timeless Tour; from the very beginning, the assistance via messages was impeccable—super quick and clear. The itinerary was very well designed; I managed to visit almost 80% of Egypt in just 10 days. My guide, Remon, was wonderful—the best I could have wished for: he was clear, helpful, kind, attentive to our needs, and very knowledgeable. He allowed me to connect with Egypt’s culture and history, sparking my curiosity and passion for this fascinating world. I feel truly lucky to have had Remon as my guide, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone. One of the highlights was the cruise upgrade, which allowed me to explore the country while sailing along the Nile—it was such a unique and magical experience. I also had the chance to try the hot air balloon ride and to visit Abu Simbel: both were absolutely unforgettable and definitely “must-do” experiences that made my trip even more special. The transportation was well organized and the drivers were fantastic: there were never any delays or inconveniences. I am deeply grateful to Remon for this journey—without him, seeing Egypt would not have been the same!

    The tour was beautiful and exciting; we explored all of Egypt and I feel very satisfied. From the pyramids to the temples, passing by the sea and through charming local shops. Our guide, Remon, is very knowledgeable in the subject, and above all, he truly cares about his travelers: he took care of our every need, often anticipating them before we even asked. He always told us what to avoid in order to steer clear of scams and to stay safe. He is a truly kind person and incredibly resourceful. I will never forget this trip — I highly recommend it!

    The trip was superb. Amazing accommodation (exceeded expectations based on cost of your) and transport around the country was on safe and air conditioned buses with excellent drivers. The overnight train to Aswan was good fun (a bit of an adventure - long and noisy but fun nonetheless - upgrade to flight if this isn't for you). The sites we saw were out of this world. Highly recommend doing the Abu Simbel trip as an add on - this place is a must see. Egypt is a wonderful country. Felt safe from start to finish. Our guide was responsible for everything great about the trip. Mina Malik is a wonderful man and really made the trip for us. Organised everything so well and went above and beyond to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and learning about his beautiful country. He is passionate about his job and that is evident by how he treated us throughout. We learnt so much and will always remember his stories and the time we spent with him in Egypt. The final days at the resort in Hurghada were great to relax and rest. It's an action packed week with lots of time travelling and early starts so be prepared (worth it though). Got to do the scuba diving in the red sea while at Hurghada and this was a wonderful experience. Cannot recommend this tour and timeless tours enough. 5*

    The trip was wonderful from start to finish. The accommodation was amazing - better than I had imagined - transport was comfortable on air conditioned mini buses with excellent drivers. The overnight train from Cairo to Aswan was interesting and an experience we will look back on with fun memories - not completely comfortable but was all apart of the adventure. The overnight stay on the Felluca and cruising down the Nile was an amazing experience. We even had the chance to swim in the Nile which is as lovely. All of the temples and tombs were out of this world. Seeing the history and the things I had read about in books since I was a kid. Unreal. Abu simbel is a must see so do pay the extra to do this. We didn't do the hot air balloon but others did and they enjoyed it. Finishing off with some relaxing days at a resort in Hurghada was great with added Scuba diving (this was great and I highly recommend) Our tour guide, Mina Malik, was simply amazing. What a top bloke - loves his country and is passionate about his job as a tour guide. His ability to tell stories and teach the history of Egypt made the tour great from start to finish. He made us feel safe from day one and all the support staff along the way were top notch. It was well organised and smooth. Be prepared for early starts and long drives but well worth it and great value for money. Absolutely recommend this tour and Egypt as a must see destination.

    What a trip. I must say everything exceeded our expectations. The hotels were wonderful. The buses were air conditioned and drivers were excellent. The overnight train to Aswan is an interesting ride and as long as you're open minded is all apart of the adventure. The temples and the sites we saw were out of this world. The Felucca trip another highlight - swimming in the Nile and spending the night on board watching the sun go down was wonderful. Our last days in Hurghada with added scuba diving was a great and relaxing way to finish the tour. Our last day in Cairo before flying home we managed to visit the market and Cairo museum where you see some tremendous pieces of history. Finally, our tour guide Mina Malik was such an amazing person who made us feel safe though the whole trip. His stories and knowledge of Egypt and the history of his country made the trip better than I imagined it would be. He is passionate about his job and loves his country which is infectious and I leave Egypt with even more love and fascination that when I arrived.

    Remon was the best guide. So knowledgeable, you can tell he is passionate about Egypts history and wants to be a part of passing on that knowledge to others. You got to see a little bit of everything in the tour and is was such an amazing experience. Remon not only guided us but looked after us and helped us with anything that we may have needed, he made it happen! Highly recommend and Remon was the best.

    Excellent! Remon our guide was always kind, caring, patient and very informative. His instructions was always clear and we felt very safe and comfortable in his presence the whole time. We had many conversations and laughs with Remon. We cannot imagine our trip without him. Your business are very fortunate to have Remon on your team, he takes pride and honor in his work and it shows every step of the journey. We became lifetime friends and looking forward to meet him again on our next adventure in Eqypt!

    Asked on March 10th, 2025

    Why is there an age restriction of 44 yrs old for this tour? My wife and I are in good health - I'm 61 and she is 54 at the time of the trip. I don't understand this age limit, please advise.

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Timeless Tours OperatorWritten March 2025

      The age range is flexible and isn't restricted at all. However, the age restriction is set only due to the overnight stay on the Nile Felucca. The Nile Felucca is a small sailing boat that has no private rooms nor proper bathroom. Everyone sleeps side by side using mattresses and blankets, besides it has only a basic toilet. If you are fine with this, you are more than welcome to book this tour.

      Jackie

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      Does the Nile Jewel tour cruise have individual rooms with beds for the guests or how does that work on the overnight?

    • Timeless Tours OperatorWritten March 2025

      The Nile cruise have private en-suite single and double/ twin rooms. On the cruise you would have a private cabin with either a double bed or two twin beds.

      How early on the last day (Dec 7th) would we be able to book a flight? Is it any time after midnight or is there a certain time we need to wait before we fly home? I'm asking because some flights leave as early as 2am in the morning and wondering if that's an option or if we need to wait longer.

      You could book your departure flight out of Cairo at any time on Dec 7th. We provide the airport transfers service 24 hours a day.

      I'm wondering for the flight ticket if we arrive one night before or need to fly one night after the end date (depends on the flight I can get) is there any flexibility to add accommodation to our stay? Also, should we apply for visa before to guarantee our entrance?
