What people love about Historical Tours
Great experience with Timeless Tours for a 15 day private guided tour of Egypt. Hany helped me plan a tour to accommodate my father, who has some health issues, and we had no problems. We were immediately met at the airport and helped through the visa and border control process. We always had a air conditioned van where my father could take a break and rest if he needed to. Michael, our tour guide was amazing. Not only very knowledgeable, but also very accommodating of all the things we wanted to do. Not only was he helpful to my father, but also took me and my cousin out to experience some Egyptian night life in Luxor and Hurghada. On our last night on our trip, Michael and Hany helped me arrange a nice dinner on the Nile river in Cairo, as well as use of our driver and tour van to take us there free of charge. They really went above and beyond. We had an amazing trip, truly the trip of a lifetime. Timeless Tours and their staff were amazing. I'd highly recommend any of their tours through Egypt. We felt very safe and all of our need and were seen to.

The Nile cruse was beautiful we love it
Overall it was a great tour. I was a little disappointed at first that we only had a tour guide for fez and not the entire trip, but our driver Khalifa was the best. I would give him a hundred stars. He was a great conversationist and kept us engaged throughout the trip. He was courteous, polite and very friendly. We got so fond of him, we started to miss him when the tour was over. Morocco is such a beautiful place with really rich history. I loved visiting every part of Morocco we visited. It would be great to have a tour guide for the entire tour because Morocco’s history is the icing on the cake. There’s so much fascinating backstory to every place we visited, and having to pay for a local guide everywhere can add up.
