  Mi viaje fué EXCELENTE. Si bien recomiendo a quien quiera visitar Egipto lo haga al menos por 10 días ya que los lugares por visitar son demasiados, eso no afectó en nada mi experiencia. La verdad es que va demasiado rápido pero es comprensible, se conocen muchos lugares en pocos días. Amé el crucero y todo lo que ahí servían de comer, fué excelente. Mansour Hussein quien fué mi guía durante el crucero hizo del viaje una experiencia personal, se relaciona contigo y pone atención a tus gustos e intereses además de estar muy bien informado y preparado. Hace excelentes recomendaciones. De igual forma no puedo recordar los nombres de todo el equipo de personas que me apoyaron en El Cairo con absolutamente todo pero les estoy muy agradecido pues en todo momento conté con su ayuda incluso en una ocasión que olvidé una prenda en uno de sus vehículos y está regresó a mis manos sin ningún problema. Los transportes, las personas que apoyan además de los guías y los alojamientos son de una calidad para mí excelente. Egipto es un hermoso lugar para vacacionar, comida deliciosa, muchas cosas bellas para comprar y la calidad de su gente es sorprendente, hice varios amigos y estoy muy feliz por ello. Gracias!

  As a solo traveler, I really enjoyed this tour. At first, I thought I'd be the only one, but I ended up joining five other solo ladies. Some were nice, but a few were not so great—drinking a lot and trying to get too friendly with the cruise staff and passengers. It didn't ruin my trip, but towards the end, I asked the tour company to separate me from the group. They did, and it made a difference. The Nile Bride staff did a great job, and our tour guide, Mansour, was fantastic and patient, dealing with the challenges and keeping everyone happy.

  The overall tour was very rough. Even simple things like dropping me off at the airport for a flight the tour has booked for me, was literally just that , leaving me at the curb of the airport- no boarding pass, no flight information. The information they do send you prior is all incorrect, just assume you will be on the first flight of the day, and somehow each flight day is jammed packed. You will fly to a location at 4am, have 8 hours worth of tours then have the next day completely open. I also faced a horrible issue with being assaulted by a member of the boat staff that the tour company used- the staff of the tour company ( a tour that is tailored for solo women) told me that it wasn’t on camera and I was waving and smiling so they don’t see an issue, I was so traumatized from the Nile Bride that I literally slept with a chair in front of my door. On my final day in Cairo I was dropped at the airport before check in for my flight had even opened. While the guides and Egyptologist were wonderful, everything else was not safe or great. I would not recommend this tour.

  Once I arrived in Cairo, the tour was smooth thanks to Michael and, in the rest of the country, thanks to Micheal and Hamada. Prior to arriving in Cairo, I experienced delays and no responses for days from Magdy. Trip details did not come 15 days before the tour as promised. Instead, 6 days.This was stressful. Things to know: Friday and Saturday are the weekend for Egypt, there are a lot of very early wake ups especially for domestic flights, the name of the cruise ship you'll be on is released to you just 24 hours prior to embarking, Wechat is the preferred method of communication but they accommodated my desire to use Facebook messenger. As a solo traveler, it was a relief having the tour guides and drivers provide transportation and buffering from local pushy merchants. All in all, a good trip. Thank you Vacations To Go Travel.

  I had a wonderful experience on my trip to Egypt, in August 2023. I was greeted upon arrival in Cairo and was well taken care of by the guides and drivers. I found that my Tour guides Hussein and Ash were welcoming, knowledgable and effective at conveying Egyptian culture, history and norms. I loved how they made connections between different legs of the tour. Hussein was very passionate and engaging when conveying the history of each site. I felt very safe when I met Hussein the second day of the trip and he explained to our small group of 3, the itinerary for our stay on the cruise. I was really hooked into his storytelling at the Temple of Horus. Ash had a great way of making sense of historical figures, historical events and the impact on Egypt. He was really great at asking questions that helped see the perspectives of the people who were in some of these places and then tied it nicely, into context. I was highly impressed when I found myself lost in the Bazaar and he was able to locate me within minutes. The staff of the Amwaj Nile River cruise were very kind and attentive. I personally loved this part of the tour. As for Hurghada, I would make the suggestion that if you are going to book an excursion beyond the stay at the resort, you should do so well in advance of arriving in Hurghada. My driver from the bus station to the resort began to tell me that at the point he had picked me up, a submarine would be my only option at that point. Luckily, I had booked something while on the cruise. Overall, the itinerary was well put together- as each stop was part of a larger "story" told by the tour guides. In hindsight , I think I would have preferred visiting the bazaar and maybe the museum the first day and the hanging church on the last day, as scheduled. This was my first international trip. The bar has been set very high! Thank you to all of the guides , drivers and airport assists!

  All around great experience. All of the guides were super friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Michael who made my entry and exit super smooth with a few good laughs as well. Also Mansour, who was my tour guide for the Nile Cruise part of my trip. He was very knowledgeable and answered any questions. Maged (max) was also super for my Cairo tour. I made many new friends on my trip and lernt a lot about Egypt. I'll be coming back one day. I highly recommend it 😊

  I hardly recommend this tour it is awesome covers all the highlights of Egypt I just have to add Abu Simbel which I think it is a must. All the guides are very knowledgeable I never felt alone they even helped me with my shopping. I would recommend to upgrade the accommodations the only one which is really nice is the one in Cairo but the cruise and the hotel in Hurghada aren’t 4-5 stars the food and the room aren’t that level but for the price of the tour it is fair enough. Thank you so much Vacation to go I really enjoyed my travel to Egypt and for sure if I come back to Egypt I will call you!!!
