  This was a trip I've looked forward to for years -- unfortunately marred by a couple of days of illness. My daughter and I were surprised to find that we were the only participants in this tour -- but it resulted in very personalized attention from our guides, who were both quite knowledgable and helpful. Ibrahim suggested minor changes in the order of the itinerary to avoid the worst crowds, which were especially thick at Kom Ombu and Edfu. All of the logistics of the trip were well handled and went smoothly. The cultural expectation of baksheesh for every service, however small, was a greater financial drain than we had expected. Guidance was provided on reasonable amounts for various services, but added all together, the total was quite a bit more than we'd planned for. However, overall it was a memorable and enjoyable trip, and one I would recommend to other.

  Whatever you think you know and expect Egypt to be, prepare to be absolutely amazed and overwhelmed. Every day of the trip was a new discovery that was more impressive than the day before (and the pyramids were on day 1!). It was hot ( beginning of October), busy and exhausting at times but it was absolutely worth it! Accommodations were nice ( some issues with AC in the hotel) and boat trip up the Nile was very enjoyable. We took couple of optional trips, one to Alexandria which was just ok, and another to Abu Simbel, which was amazing and is highly recommended. Luxor museum is definitely worth visiting although it was not part of the tour. Another ‘extra’ site we visited was tomb of Seti I in the valley of the kings. We had to pay for separate ticket but absolutely worth it, if you get a chance do not miss it! We would absolutely recommend Vacations to Go Tavel. Tour was well organized and Michael (tour organizer), Maged and Ibrahim (Egyptologist guides) were all very professional, knowledgeable and very friendly. From the first day greeting at the airport, throughout the site visits and to the last day they were available to give us guidance and information and answer millions of questions on everything: logistics, culture, history, and modern life of Egypt. Couple of tips on what to look out for: 1. Everyone is trying to sell you stuff!! There are people selling cheap stuff at the sites everywhere and it can become exhausting to try to avoid them. In addition, we visited “artisan workshops” as part of tour where we were given some demonstrations and afterwords offered to buy locally made “authentic” stuff. You do not have to buy anything if you do not want to! 2. Tips are expected everywhere by everyone so be prepared for that and have cash at hand. Overall it was an amazing experience and we would love to plan some other tours with Vacations to Go Travel.

  An exciting trip from Cairo to Aswan to Luxor. So much to see. Our guide was the best. He really went the whole nine yards to make sure we received the knowledge of ancient Egypt.

  My tour with Vacations to Go was beyond my expectations! Michael was so helpful coordinating everything in Cairo. It was comforting to have him there from the moment I arrived. Walid was so knowledgeable and kind. He definitely went the extra mile to show me as much as possible. Ibrahim was helpful on the Nile cruise. Recommend the Seti I tomb in the Valley of the Kings. Very well preserved and worth the extra money. The food, service and accommodations were also wonderful. Such an amazing experience!

  We really enjoyed our trip with Vacations to go travel! Everything was very well planned and all details were thought of. One less positive point was the hotel in Aswan, Tolip, which fell below our expectations (food was below average and there's no wifi in the rooms, only at the reception). We adored our guide in Cairo, Walid is wonderful and an amazing guide! Overall, great balance between activities and time to relax, so we never felt too tired. Thank you!
