    It was an incredible experience, we could not have had a better guide. The organization was good but many of the extra activities were overpriced and the quality of the hotels and the train left something to be desired. Overall very good but there are things to polish.

    Highly recommend this tour! Egypt is incredible, the sites are unreal and our CEO Hashim made the experience even more enjoyable with his stories and passion for Egyptian history. DO NOT pay for transfers from and to the hotel however. I was charged £60 each way. The cost of an Uber from Pharoahs hotel to the airport is less than £10 each way. Save yourself £100 and get an Uber.

    Probably the best value tour out there for young travelers. I'm glad I chose to book this tour rather than travel Egypt on my own, as I never felt unsafe on this tour and Saad was always there for advice and suggestions. I'm leaving the tour feeling like I didn't miss anything and like I certainly got my money's worth. This tour was nonstop and action-packed with little downtime, but as a budget traveler I would prefer to fit in as much as possible so that's all good with me!

    I would never have traveled to Egypt alone, and our tour guid was so knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable going out and haggling with the people in the bazaar. I really felt safe and taken care of. I would not have been able to enjoy Egypt as much without my tour group and guide

    The trip was really great and is absolutely recommended. The organization was very good and exactly as described; our guide (Arafa) made this trip an absolutely perfect experience. Many temples and places are visited early in the morning, away from mass tourism, which we especially liked. We can recommend this tour 100%!
