  A very good, well organized tour, spoiled somewhat by surprise, additional costs to visit some of the sights on the tour itinerary. We ended up paying an additional 1,000 AUD on top of the tour price by the time we were done, half of which was for transportation, mini bus and water taxi to visit items on the original itenerary. It would have been better to understand total cost up front, there's no need to hide cost information from your customers to surprise people with during their holidays.

  Overall, the trip was as described on the itinerary and we were always well taken care of. Our driver, Tony, met us at the airport in Cairo and was very accomodating and happily answered any questions we had. Our tour guide for Cairo, Marwa, was extremely knowledgable and very passionate about the ancient Egyptian civilisation. She was very friendly and knew all the best spots to see around the pyramids and museum and could explain anything you wanted to know. After landing in Aswan, our next tour guide, Medhat, greeted us at the airport. He spent the rest of the trip with us and accompanied us on the 3 day cruise on the Nile. Medhat was very knowledgable and offered to show us around each city outside of the tour. For example, on our last afternoon, he took us to a small shop and shouted us a sugar cane juice which we had not tried before. It was very refreshing and tasted great. The only reason we haven't given 5 stars was due to not finding out we had to pay for entrance fees to the sites and tipping everywhere until one week before we left. As we were not aware about the currency used in Egypt, we took out Egyptian pounds, only to find out they use USD the majority of the time. Being told about this ahead of time would have cleared up many questions and allowed us to bring extra USD currency to ensure we did not have to take thousands of Egyptian pounds out at a time. Despite this, we had a fantastic time. The locals were very friendly, our accommodation was excellent and our safety and enjoyment were at the forefront of everyone's mind.

  It was a great experience, beyond from the mistic and magic of the destination itself, the tour was smoother than expected, felt always safe and well guided through all the trip. The tour guides were very professional and kind. Would definitely recommend Truly Egypt for your trip.

  Beware that the cost you pay for the tour is not the full cost. On top you have to pay £155 per person for entrance fees to the attractions which was HUGELY inflated considering they all cost 450-600 EGP to enter (£7-10 GBP), PLUS 70+ for tips (but this does not include tips expected for any extras you pay for e.g. camel ride, hot air balloon). Even when you are told that the tip has been covered e.g. horse cart ride to Edfu Temple, they will still try to ask you for a tip anyway. Be prepared to be constantly harassed the entire time you are in Egypt. Even in the airport bathroom they try to get a tip out of you. Obviously mindful that people are desperate to try to make a living but it is very draining by the end of the week. The internal flight was booked late in the day so the itinerary was moved by a day without any notice. In a seven day itinerary 3 days are just you flying and not doing any activities at all. The meals included were not fully accurate. Also note that when you have a very early start which we had three times (Luxor full sightseeing day, hot air balloon day and flying to Cairo day), you don't get to have the buffet breakfast that you have paid for - you get a bag of bread rolls, something resembling ham and a yoghurt. The bread was stale one day and inedible, so really we only got to eat a proper breakfast 3 days. The "5 star" hotel in Cairo was very far from the centre so it's difficult to do anything if you arrive in Cairo earlier in the day. There was no water working in the bathroom for several hours on the first day. We did however enjoy the food at the hotel restaurant and thought it was reasonably priced. There was nothing 5 star about the cruise ship. No gym, food was really average, drinks were expensive (compared to at the hotel), no free WiFi! You had to pay for WiFi and it didn't even work in our room or the top deck. On a positive note, the host Tony and tour guides Nasir and Medhat were excellent. They were friendly, extremely knowledgeable and did their best to keep us safe and happy. We don't normally do organised tours but felt it would be much safer to do so in order to visit Egypt. We still enjoyed being able to see all of the amazing sights, but the overall experience was marred by everything we have summarised here at a high financial cost. It's really frustrating that they don't just advertise the tour at its actual full cost. It just feels like there are many hidden costs in addition to people trying to fleece you for money the entire time you're in Egypt.

  I was under the impression that I was going on a Group tour. To see it was an individual tour through me off a little. The itinerary and guides were good. The girl in Cairo was very good, and the driver was helpful. There are cultural differences that take getting used to. Wifi is spotty and slow. TV channels were disappointing. Access to alcohol was limited. Everyone you meet wants/expects tips.

  The trip was great, only complaint was the food at the cruise was a little bit bland compared to places in the cities we visited. Special shout out to Tony, Nassir and Abd El Hameed for their time during our visit.
