What people love about Fully Guided Tours in Egypt
- Egypt Luxury Guided Tour W/Nile Cruise & Air
We did a 5 day nile cruise tour with Mac as our guide and absolutely loved it. We’re from Australia and have always wanted to visit Egypt, he made it so much more for us, his knowledge of the country and ancient Egyptian sites was very broad. He was always very friendly and allowed plenty of free time for us to explore on our own if needed. The whole tour was flexible and I couldn’t recommend him high enough. Thanks Mac :)
- Egypt on the Line - 5 Days (Guided Tour to Cairo, Giza and Alexandria)
Excellent tour!! Rafa was our private guide. He picked us up from the hotel on time and was like a google of knowledge of ancient Egypt and its rich history. I would highly recommend Egypt’s Best Holiday to anyone.

What's the ideal duration for a fully guided tour in Egypt?
An 8-10 day guided tour allows travelers to experience Egypt's highlights at a comfortable pace. The standard format includes 3-4 days exploring Cairo and Giza followed by 4-5 days cruising the Nile between Luxor and Aswan.

What are the key benefits of choosing a fully guided tour in Egypt?

TourRadar travelers report that guides "made the ancient Egyptian sites come alive" and provided "detailed explanations at all the sights."

For evenings at accommodations like the Royal Elite Nile cruise ship or Tolip Hotel Cairo pack smart casual attire.
