  We loved our trip and time in Egypt. We did have to put in a lot of work to find the type of accommodation both on the Nile Cruise and in Cairo that we felt reflected the five star and also had to pay for upgrading but we were happy we did as we loved where we stayed. We booked the Sonesta George Nile cruise it was fabulous from beginning to end highly recommend this cruise the staff are wonderful, spotlessly clean, great docking views, delicious food everything felt 5 star. Our guide Mansour greeted us on arrival in Luxor and took great care of us over the 5 days we were with him visiting the Temples along the Nile. He was great with our Kids and really helped them feel included and interested on the Temple visits and explained everything in a way that made it fun and informative for all of us. He is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Egypt history and sharing it. We really enjoyed getting to know him, he went above and beyond to make our time special and we felt the pride and care he takes into his work as a travel guide He gave 100% of his attention to the tour and his guests, we appreciated this immensely. We all feel we now have a friend for life with Mansour. Our time in Hurghada was fun and relaxing we stayed at the Continental Hotel it was very clean, the staff were great and the food and entertainment options were good. Only downside was the extra snorkel tour we chose it was awful. Being trapped on a boat with everyone smoking the snorkel part was very rushed and really the day was set up to try and make you purchase the photos they are taking. I would suggest that Vacations to Go get to know the boat companies and work with some that offer a better experience. Amr our local rep did take care of it after and took my feedback seriously which was appreciated. He was very responsive if we needed anything or had questions. For our Cairo visit we stayed at the Mena House with the best view of the Pyramids we loved it and as we found everywhere in Egypt we were warmly welcomed and treated wonderfully. 2 days to explore Cairo feels very rushed but luckily we had time on our last morning before the flight to return back to the Pyramids by ourselves for more time to wander and also climb into the Great Pyramid amazing! Bassem was our Cairo guide he is a very knowledgable Egyptologist it was nice to get his perspective on the wonderful places we visited during our time. Michael took care of our itinerary in Cairo it was fun to get to know him better on the last day and we appreciated he took the time to guide us back to the airport and spend time chatting with us. Overall this was an exceptional experience Vacations to Go is very organized I just recommend if you are like me and appreciate the best accommodations research in advance and try and book the best options provided well in advance.

  14-Day Egypt Highlights (Cairo, Cruise, Hurghada)

  Very well organised tour, communication with Vacations to Go Travel was very clear & prompt. Airport pick-ups and drop-offs all very smooth. They accommodated our seven hour delayed arrival (courtesy of British Airways) without any problem! Our Egyptologist guides (Bassem & Mansour) were both exceptional; very friendly, knowledgeable & helpful with anything we asked or needed. Being a small group of six we felt we had a very personal service from them both. I think it would be very difficult to achieve a tour like this independently, particularly in 10 days. The guides make everything simpler and quicker, from purchasing tickets at the monuments to organising transport to and from the hotel & ship, making for a very relaxed & stress-free experience. The hotel in Cairo (Steigenberger El Tahrir) was clean & comfortable and had an wide selection for breakfast. WiFi was good and available everywhere. The lunches we had as part of the tours in and around Cairo were both authentic & excellent. The cruise ship (Esmerelda) was great with delicious food - very wide choice and good quality. Clean, large cabin, friendly staff, with amusing & unusual towel art! The only thing that let it down was the WiFi - difficult to connect & reconnect to, non-existent in the restaurant and the free package (1GB) stopped working prematurely. It wasn't a big problem for us as we had a generous cellular data package, having bought a SIM at Cairo airport. The tour involves quite a few early starts (particularly if the options for a balloon ride & a trip to Abul Simbel [both excellent] are taken), but this means monuments can be visited when it's cooler and they are slightly less crowded. I think it would be very difficult to achieve a tour like this independently, particularly in 10 days. The guides make everything simpler, from purchasing tickets at the monuments to organising transport. Overall this tour exceeded my expectations and was very good value. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour or company and would use them again.

  10 Day Egypt Experience Tour (Domestic flight)

  I booked this tour with Vacations to Go Travel through Tour Radar and was initially skeptical, but I needn't have worried. The package was significantly more affordable than those offered by other companies, even though entrance fees and tipping were not included. Overall, it still provided excellent value. We couldn't have been happier with the choice of hotel, cruise boat, and our tour guides, Sara and Mansour. Upon both of our arrivals in Cairo, we were warmly greeted at the airport by John and smoothly transferred to and from our hotel. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another holiday with them—very happy travelers!
