  Hands down one of the best tours I have ever been on. Our guide was incredible- very knowledgeable and could not be more accommodating. So many amazing sites. The accommodations were first class and everywhere we went the locals were so very kind. I highly recommend this tour. Loved every minute of it

  We had the most incredible trip on the Discover Egypt Tour. Every detail was tended to and we didn't have to lift a finger on anything. The Tour Guides were so knowledgeable and really went above and beyond with their discussions of the sights. They made sure to cover everything we wanted to learn about and even the things we didn't know we wanted to learn about. We cannot recommend this tour enough!

  A wonderful tour that I would do again but would like to linger longer around the new excavations, sites and temples. It was nice to have the extension at the end and definitely recommend staying longer in the city for a breather before flying home again.

  This tour takes you to all the really important places in Egypt. It is so well thought out and executed.Our accommodation and meals were excellent. All the transfers were smooth with never any waiting around and the vehicles were very comfortable. I was very fortunate to be with a lovely group of people. Our guide, Walleed was magnificent. He was so knowledgeable and friendly and he made learning about Egyptian history and the Gods and Godesses fascinating and fun. He used to sit us down in the shade whenever we arrived somewhere and gave us bite sized facts and told us stories about the place we were about to see. He was also really kind and he looked after anyone who was ill so competently, that no-one one missed a single activity!

  This was a very well organised tour, conducted by a hugely knowledgeable and informative guide. The itinerary took in all the classic sites and we stayed in good hotels, as well as a typically cultural night on a felucca following a day's sailing on The Nile.

  Perfect destination selections. Covers mostly all of the main Egyptian temples, pyramids, ruins and cities. Since there is so much to see and visit it is fast paced and very very busy. We were fortunate to have Sheriff as our main tour guide. He was very professional the entire trip, extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and hilariously funny all the time. Made a trip very a enjoyable and learning experience that is exactly what we expected. The hotels, restaurants and tour buses were also excellent, very clean and felt safe. We upgraded the overnight sleeper train to a flight and hotel night to Aswan. We also upgraded the Feluca overnight with an extra night at the Aswan hotel. We spent a day in Urgada at a wonderful beach resort and took a snorkeling tour in the Red sea. We also purchase a day trip tour to Alexandria. The only thing we didn't like about the whole trip was that we were taken without our knowledge or consent to a place that sold Egyptian oils. There the owner insistently tried to sell us his products, treated us in a condescending manner and gave us an awful unappealing bowl of spaghetti that we didn't eat . I had to step out of the shop to stay calm and we ended up wasting at least three hours. We would have rather used that valuable time for shopping since overall during the whole 10 day trip we were given one hour to shop for souvenirs at a huge bazaar in Cairo. .

  This was one of the best tours we've been on. We were well taken care of from being met at the airport on arrival until we were delivered to the airport for departure. Our guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was great and the hotels were excellent. It's a great way to see the highlights of Egypt. We were glad we didn't go any later because of the heat and next time would go a month or two earlier when its cooler.
