    This 11-day tour covered most of the major highlights in Egypt. Although it was initially beyond our budget, after calculating all the expected expenses during our stay, we found it to be very reasonably priced and hassle-free, especially with most meals included. It was also a bonus that the Abu Simbel tour was part of the package. My family had an incredible time, and our dream of visiting Egypt as a family came true. A big thank you to the entire team for the outstanding service!

    My wife and I were thrilled to embark on the Nile River journey, feeling like we'd stepped into ancient Egypt. The Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx took our breath away. Cruising along the Nile, we couldn't believe the grandeur of Luxor's Temples of Karnak. It was an unforgettable experience.

    Wow, what an adventure! I recently went on the 11-Day Cairo, Nile Cruise, Abu Simbel, Dendarah, Abydos & Alexandria tour, and it was incredible. Starting off in Cairo, we saw the famous pyramids and explored the city's lively markets. Then, cruising down the Nile was like stepping back in time. Stops at Abu Simbel, Dendarah, and Abydos were awe-inspiring, with ancient temples and tombs everywhere you looked. Alexandria was a highlight too, with its beautiful coastline and fascinating history. Our guides were amazing, making everything come alive with their stories and knowledge. The hotels were comfy, the food was tasty, and everything ran smoothly. Overall, it was an unforgettable trip that I'd recommend to anyone curious about Egypt's ancient wonders.

    It was very informative and educational, but there were a lot of activities packed into the 11 days, leaving hardly any free time.

    It was a wonderful opportunity to travel to a Muslim country during Ramadan, the holy month of fasting, and experience the atmosphere firsthand. Witnessing how the streets emptied out by sunset as people gathered at home for iftar was truly remarkable. Additionally, seeing the free food provided on large tables for those who were out during sunset and breakfast time was heartwarming. The country's hospitality and rich traditions left a lasting impression on me, and I cherished every moment of the 11 days spent there. I'm eagerly looking forward to returning. A big thank you to Montaser, our exceptional tour guide who graciously led us despite fasting. cheers Liz and Raul

    What a fantastic experience! Everything was superbly organized, and our guide was excellent. It felt like a true escape from the daily grind, immersing ourselves in a new culture in a short amount of time. Despite it being Ramadan, the company ensured we didn't miss any part of the tour. If you want to see the highlights of Egypt and make the most of your time, this is the perfect tour. Don't hesitate to book it!

    After a lot of research, I discovered this offer from Vacations to go travel under the umbrella of TourRadar, which included everything we wanted to see. Our trip took place from March 18, 2024, during Ramadan, which is actually not a problem. Tourists are allowed to eat and drink during the day. In Cairo, the very friendly and humorous Michael gave us a warm welcome, got us through the immigration formalities quickly, helped us with our luggage and even helped us buy a SIM card. At the hotel, he organized the check-in and released us into the luxury of the Steigenberger El Tahrir (great accommodation, excellent food and service!). Right on time the next morning, he introduced us to our German-speaking guide for Cairo, Sameh. Sameh is warm-hearted, personal, very knowledgeable and passionate. He always responded to our wishes. He answered all our questions and also showed and explained things to us that were more insider knowledge. But we also learned a lot about contemporary Egypt. We immediately took him to our hearts. Then we flew to Aswan, again well looked after by Michael. We received a friendly welcome in Aswan. The next morning we were met by our guide for Upper Egypt, Hani. Hani is also German-speaking, warm, very knowledgeable and very committed. He also took our wishes into account; as in Cairo, our questions were answered, we learned insider knowledge and modern Egypt was not neglected either - including a visit to the bazaar with tea and hookah after work! When my husband collapsed on board the ship (Steigenberger Legacy; also great accommodation, excellent food and service) with a fever, he took great care of us; together with the competent doctor on board, he made sure that he was even able to take part in the other tours the next day. From Luxor we went back to Cairo, where Michael looked after us again. The next day Sameh again took over the tour. With Vacations to go travel, we had swapped the tour to Alexandria that was actually on the itinerary for a day in Cairo. As a surprise, Sameh had planned a tour of a bazaar with food and other things, which is actually only visited by locals and which was well worthwhile. We were really lucky with our guides; competent, very friendly and committed. Highly recommended! Dendarah and Abydos are wonderful and absolutely recommendable, the long drive is really worth it! We also booked the Tanoura dervish dance event in Cairo and Abu Simbel, both highly recommended. The drivers were all very friendly and professional and drove us safely through the chaotic traffic and sometimes difficult roads. Egypt really impressed us! The people are friendly and we didn't feel unsafe anywhere. The pharaonic culture is overwhelming! We can really recommend the trip! Marianne
