    I had a great Time in Egypt .Everything was very well organized on the tours so i could see The Pyramids..etc,. The tour guides were always there on time. The tours were carried out very well and understandably by Khaled, Mohammed, among others. The hotels were very nicely inside and located. Thank you very much to Peter's team.

    This was a great trip thanks to the team of Peter, Michael and Khaled. The coordination was smooth and arrangements were super. All the guides were very knowledgeable and polite. The ground staff and the drivers were always in time, polite, engaging and friendly. I would highly recommend travelling in Egypt with Egypt Best Holidays

    1- we were not inform that we have the possibility to visit Giza’s pyramids inside. The guide bought the tickets for us without asking or giving the available possibilities. 2- during the visit for El Cairo, some templos were missing, I meant, they were not include on the tour and we were not inform of them keeping us on the hotel reception for 4 hours. 3- The guide moved us around shops where he has commission, not the proper market, where we really wanted to go, and we were not inform one more time. 4- On the description of the tour plus, the guy when we arrived to El Cairo said that we just need to pay the fees, fees are not entrances! So, we need to add to the price that we paid in first place, all the entrances. 5- the communication with us was not clear, with the intention of manipulate the answer in the first place and get what they really wanted, alleging that it’s a misunderstanding from us because of the language. 6- All the hotels dirty and really bad conditions, one of them even with broken toilet. Really embarrassing! With one exception, the last one in Luxor. 7- when you read the description of the tour, it said, meal included, but the surprise was that just breakfast was included and they didn’t even plan to stop at some point for us to get some food, so we could be 7 or 8 in the morning until 7 or 8 in the night without any food, just breakfast. Except in giza we had to pay a tip to the driver who was taking us????‍♀️ 8- the view of the Aswan obelisk or the unnecessary dam instead of going to visit other temples that we discovered by the locals. 9- The guide from Luxor tried to sell us the free tickets for the guides for 850 Egyptian pounds by lying with threats that if we paid by card we would have a surcharge or there would be queues and we would lose time. 10- except the Aswan guide who didn't take us to the shops to receive a commission, the rest is all they did. 11- Except the Aswan guide, the rest told contradictory stories.

    I loved the group we had. Everyone was so fun and lovely. Our tour guide Khaled was super knowledgeable and so sweet. All of the temples were incomprehensibly beautiful and Khaled did an amazing job of explaining everything to us. Thank you a lot! Highly recommend.

    This tour could have had 5 stars however Khaled from Aswan was extremely rude and disrespectful with us. He was late the two times he had to pick us up. In our only day in Aswan he did not take us to the Visit High Dam even when it was included in our tour and his explanation at the Philae Temple was poor. The second day he picked us up he did not even say hello and he was already yelling at my brother-in-law. TRY TO NOT BE SCHEDULED WITH KHALED IN ASWAN, YOU WOULD HAVE A VERY BAD TIME. Except for Khaled from Aswan, the rest of the tour was incredible. - Peter was very opened and he did an amazing job fixing our tour in order to see and visit everything we wanted. - Rafa was our guide in Cairo. He gave us a large and clear explanation of everything and responded all of our doubts, and at the end of the tour he drove us to a delicious place of Falafels. - Khaled from Luxor did an excellent job giving us all the clarifications and the guide we needed. - Hussein was our driver in Aswan and Luxor. He won our hearts! He was kind and friendly with us. He helped us a lot. Hussein rocks! - Rhada was our guide in Luxor. She knows a lot about history, she started to give us a lot of information since the minute 1, which is really appreciated because we understood more about Luxor's background. - We took a tour to the desert. 100% recommended. The views are unique and the food they gave us was delicious. - There were more people involved in our tour that I cannot remember their names but all did a great job! Recommendation for Egypt Best Holidays: Try to share previously the name and phone numbers of the people that would be the next tour guide or driver. We felt very lost a couple of times. Thank you a lot!

    Great trip to Egypt with the best guides It was such an amazing tour .Peter and his team ( Mohamed , Aida and Khaled ) were great, explaining in detail how life used to be in Egypt in ancient times while having a lot of fun. The hotels and places were excellent value for money. I would recommend their services to all my friends.

    My trip was better that I expected. the communication was great even before the trip starts , Peter and his staff took care of every detail to make sure I had everything I needed. especially Sam for Cairo, Michael in Aswan , and Hany in Luxor, were extremely knowledgeable about the history of the sites I visited. They even assist me with items that had nothing to do with this trip. I plan on going back soon. I highly recommend this trip.

    Egypt was amazing. But a few things to note when booking with Egypt Best Holidays - 1. Peter is the manager/overall coordinator. He's your point of contact at all times so if will definitely need internet or wifi if you have issues or questions. 2. For multi-city tours, we felt like we were packages being delivered from one city to the next, sometimes by drivers who don't speak very much English. Be aware that the tour guides will be changed out from city to city. There was one time we were dropped off by the driver to the train station, he spoke no English and dropped us at the curb where we were immediately harassed by people trying to take our bags for tips. I think we should have been delivered to the train cabin at all times for our safety. 3. Peter can be passive aggressive at times... when I asked to add on a day at Cairo for sightseeing, I asked if we could have a discount since there are cheaper tours on viator. Peter told us that he could find thousands of tours are that more expensive than his. And he denies that the tour we sent him included entrance tickets when IN FACT the description said it included them. Anyway, we booked the extra day with him anyway but it felt manipulative. 4. The difference between 6 and 7 days around Egypt - there's no difference as far as the main sights you will see. You can do it all in 6 days. I wish that was explained better to me when I asked Peter what's the difference between 6 and 7 days, or we would have booked the 6 days instead of waiting around an extra day in Luxor. One of the group members did the exact same tour as us in 6 days. In fact we decided to finish our 7 day itinerary in 6 days as well, so someone saved a bit of money not having to book a tour guide for us on the 7th day... maybe that should have been a bit of a discount to us later on when we asked to book additional activities. 5. Entrance fees are not included on the 6/7 day tours, I repeat, not included. Prepare local currency as the ticket offices don't take credit card. 6. Lunches and dinners are not included. If you intend to take lunch at some point during the day tours, you better let your guide know because they don't stop and ask. I guess that's customary? 7. The tour guides: SAM - Around Cairo - My favorite guide. He's very funny, knows the areas and locals, got us to the places quickly and safely. He brought us to several shops as well, no pressure to buy but we felt that the items were quality enough to buy some anyway. We would recommend Sam. Ada (spelling?) - Around Aswan - No personality, just take us to Aswan dam and Philae island. She recommended that we don't need to see the Obelisk stone, probably to end the tour sooner. We later googled it and it definitely should have been seen. We felt again that there were locals trying to "help" us for tips and grabbing our things. Ada told us we can just give them a tip. I don't want people touching my things so I can give them a tip. She should have spoken the local language and defended us better. We felt rushed through the sites. Unnamed guide - Abu Simbel - We rode in the fully packed bus for several hours to go to Abu Simbel. There we were grouped with a guide and he took us around the sites. No issues with this tour but the driver didn't speak much. Honey - Around Luxor - an awesome guide as well. We were not rushed through the sites. He was very engaging and also wanted to know about us and our different culture. He seemed genuine. He also brought us to some shops but when we expressed that we were not interested in buying and already seen those types of shops, he told the driver to leave right away. No pressure, it was great. The tours were definitely catered to us. Honey is a great guide!

    Had a wonderful week in Egypt. We had a couple of wonderful guides- Michael in Aswan and Hany in Luxor. They were very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the history of Egypt. I would definitely recommend this tour. All of our guides were punctual, kind, and friendly.

    Amazing few days in Luxor with our guide Hany. The valley of the kings was an amazing experience and saw some incredible views. Temple of Hatshepsut was a must! Hany was great at explaining a lot of Egyptian history and made us feel totally comfortable and independent. Great time overall.
