  We had an excellent time on this tour. We got to see all of the highlights of ancient Egypt with phenomenal and knowledgeable guides. Medhat is very considerate and ensures your comfort the entire time you are on the cruise. There are many early mornings (waking up before 5 am), but it is worth it for the great experiences. The food on the boat was good, but it would have been even better if there was more Egyptian food. Note that drinks (including water) are not included on the boat, but they are very cheap. I highly recommend this tour to anyone considering it! You will learn a lot, be comfortable, and it is hassle-free.

  This was an absolutely amazing trip and was made so easy thanks to our amazing guide Met. He was so knowledgeable and kind and made sure we were out the door for all of our early mornings! Also, our Egyptologist guide, Marwa, was absolutely wonderful. Overall we were very taken care of! Truly the trip of a lifetime.

  I had a wonderful time in Egypt and saw a LOT. Tony did an amazing job, from picking me up in Cairo Airport twice, to organizing the trip to the Pyramids (as I arrived a day earlier), and of course drop off at the Airport at tour end. On the Great Pyramid of Giza tour I had an exception guide (Nassr), very knowledgeable, was amazing. The other amazing guide was Ashraf. Was great to have such guides. Nile cruise was nice and relaxed. Another highlight of the tour (for me) was the Hot Air Ballon - can only recommend it. Of course Karnak Temples were spectacular as well. Boat trip on the Nile to the nubain village was very nice as well. I keep good memories of this trip. Uncommon was the whole tipping - would be great to have a recommendation mentioned and to be advised to have enough "small" Euro / Dollar (foreign currency) for tipping.

  Egypt has so much to offer and Truly Egypt and especially our 2 guides - Tony in Cairo and Ahmed Salendino on the cruise - had put together a super exciting program and booked us on a nice (but not luxury) cruise ship to get us down the Nile. The guide Ahmed Salendino was enormously knowledgeable and a super communicator - made the ancient Egyptian sites come alive for us - and he was so attentive to how we had and took into account different needs in the group. Made for a fantastic and safe experience. Of the extra tours: Finally, take the city tour in a horse-drawn carriage in Luxor and the balloon ride is also a great experience if you haven't tried it before. In Cairo Tony took very good care of us and was always available to us for big and small and super reliable and wonderful being who also shared knowledge about daily life in Cairo. Finally, take an extra trip to Giza and see the pyramids and the Sphinx at sunset from a delicious rooftop restaurant - it's absolutely beautiful and mega romantic.

  A very good holiday, plenty to do, we were always occupied but never overly tired. (Although when we got home we were exhausted!). Conversely it was actually a very relaxing holiday.….. A superb experience sailing along the Nile River, the feeling and the views were wonderful. I loved it. Sailing between Luxor and Ebnu at night was fantastic, including passing the locks at Esna with it's lights and festivities in full swing. Waking up to gently lapping water and views of the far off river bank was fantastic. The night lights at Aswan were amazing….. Our guides were experts. For most of the cruise we had a guide called Sabah, she looked after us and cared for us. Very knowledgeable and very good….. ….. The sites we saw were well worth visiting. The pyrimids are just there on the edge of town, the temples in Luxor and Karnack etc were truly enormous and so well preserved after 4000 years, the tombs in the valley of the Kings amazing considering how many years ago they were dug out….. ….. Cairo was a different story: it is a huge city 25km across. Full of people, full of vehicles, the traffic system is crazy (central reservations effectively creating one way roads really don't help traffic flow). Very dusty and very noisy. Full of desperately poor people. Everyone wanted a tip for whatever large or small service they did for you. Tourist prices were: 0,5 litre beer at 7-9$, small bottle of water 35+ egyptian pounds (Sept'24 1€ = 53 egp)….. Bad Points: Our hotel in Cairo (Tolip Gardens) - poor food, dry hotel, pool shut before sunset which is obligatory in Egypt (for us in mid Sept. it shut at 6,30). Located on the edge of town, airport side, with nothing to do nearby….. Everyone asking for money…..

  I recently returned from an unforgettable trip to Egypt, and I cannot praise Truly Egypt enough for their exceptional service and attention to detail. From start to finish, every aspect of the journey was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed. The staff at Truly Egypt were incredibly professional and friendly. Our guides were knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history, making each visit to iconic sites like the Great Pyramids and the temples of Luxor truly enlightening. They were always on time, ensuring that our schedule ran smoothly without any hitches. The transportation provided was top-notch. The buses were clean, comfortable, and spacious, making long drives across the beautiful landscapes a pleasure rather than a chore. We felt safe and well taken care of throughout the entire trip. Every day brought new adventures and discoveries, and the seamless organization by Truly Egypt allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the rich culture and history of this remarkable country. Whether it was the guided tours, delicious meals, or simply the warm hospitality of the staff, everything was outstanding. I highly recommend Truly Egypt to anyone looking to explore this incredible destination. Their commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction truly sets them apart. Thank you for an amazing experience—I can’t wait to return!

  The boat was very old. everyone on the port side got sick and had soot from the motors in there rooms. our last night on the cruise we were threaten by two of the staff mainley one big guy and had to give him $50USD for drinks that we had paid for. when we told our guide the next day, all he said is they would talk to them. Then we found out they took the rest of our group out for tea and paid for it. but because we hadn't complained enough we didnt get invited. rest of the trip was fine but would not do that boat again

  Tour guides were very good except one guide with whom I was assigned for three day starting June 5. But after the morning of the first tour with this guide I complained to him that he was not telling me the story behind the pictures in the temple at Etfu, he understood my need and reported it to management and in the afternoon for the Kom…temple tour a new guide was assigned to guide me. From there on the guides were qualified and provided me with the info I needed.For this reason I give to this tour company only 4 stars

  We very much enjoyed our Egypt trip. Definitely a bucket list experience that hit all the major highlights for us. The Truly Egypt team were good and the guides we had were for the most part knowledgeable, organized and nice people. Due to the time of year we enjoyed a pretty much exclusive service which was flexible and could be tailored a bit to our preferences. The balloons and camel rides are must dos in our opinion. We found the experience in the Nubian village interesting with a great boat ride to get there, but a bit uncomfortable with the crocodiles held in small walled spaces, mostly it seemed for the benefit of the tourists. A couple of niggles spoilt the experience slightly. First the tipping. We’d paid upfront to include tipping where possible but it still wasn’t really clear who had been tipped what and we still ended up feeling obliged to tip quite a bit. Second ignore any advice that credit cards can be used widely. This is a cash based society that has a preference for strong foreign currencies. We were able to use our credit card on the Nile cruise ship, the large archeological sites and the hotels we stayed in. Any other place either took only cash or their credit card machine was ‘broken’ amounting to the same thing. What with the tips and cash requirements we laid out far more than expected and had to endure poor exchange rates at local cash machines. Finally just be prepared to be badgered by street sellers and kids in every situation. I don’t enjoy bartering and didn’t buy much partly because of this. Overall though we’d happily do it again with the same company and thank the team for a great experience.

  Wir waren sehr zufrieden mit dem persöhnlichen service besonders mit Medhat in Luxor , mit den Hotels waren wir nicht so zufrieden sehr laut die Zimmer waren nicht besonderes da ja die Reise als eine Luxury Tour angegeben wurde.Im großen ganzen war es sehr interessant wir waren froh daß wir persöhnliche Tour Guides hatten.
