    Egypt is fantastic. I would have wished for more time at the amazing sites, but overall the tour was very good. Tour guides Ahmed and Sohaila were well informed and friendly. Our small group felt like a well-balanced group of friends. The hotels in Cairo and Luxor were great. We did a private tour to Saqqara on the last day. Loved it! While I had security related concerns before travelling to Egypt I have to state that the authorities are putting a lot of effort into safety measures and all the people we met were extremely friendly.

    We had the most amazing experience - there's no way we could have fitted so much into such a small amount of time. It was brilliantly organised - we didn't have to think about a thing! We could just relax and enjoy the adventure - knowing we were seeing the best Egypt has to offer. Our guide Hassan was fantastic - he gave us such interesting insights at each stop but then also left us with free time to explore the monuments ourselves. I would highly recommend this tour!

    It was well organized and great. We had a small bus and the same guide (Hassan) for the whole tour expect for in Cairo. He was awesome, he kept us informed and made the trip interesting and informative. He dealt with the cultural differences in our group well and made everyone feel included. He prepared us for any unique situations and also always gave us time for pictures.

    I think the itineraries were well balanced and organized with a good combination of activities and relaxed times. I found it was nice that the company was quite felxible to each one's need and desire. This was my first trip to Egypt and I was fascinated to see many ancient temples filled with so much history. The guides and staff were all attentive, kind, and friendly. I was especially impresssed with Hassan's knowledge, enthusiasm and passion, which deepened my curiosity and wonders to the ancient civilization, which started in Egypt. The hotel accomodation in Luxor was very nice. I was concerned about my last day, because I had so many hours between the official end of the tour in the morning until my flight departure late at night. The company was able to arrange and accommodate for me to sign up to visit the pyramid of Djoser, Saqqara, and as my request - to revisit the great pyramid complex in Giza. I was satisfied. I now have lots of pictures wirh nice memories.

    We had a great experience travelling with Holiday in Egypt from Cairo to Louxor: the hotels and accommodation during the cruise were perfect, and we appreciated being guided by Soheila in Cairo and Ahmed from Aswan to Louxor! We felt safe during all the trip thanks to their organization, and enjoyed the beauty of Egypt as much as we could have. The organization is very flexible, so if you change your mind and decide to finally book some optional trip they'll change your program easily (by the way you should try the hot air balloon trip which offers and amazing view to Louxor and its temples).

    Really enjoyed this experience & one I will never forget! As a solo female traveller, I felt completely safe in Egypt and well taken care of by all of the Holiday in Egypt team. The other four members of our tour group were enjoyable, easy going and caring companions. Egypt can feel chaotic and a little overwhelming at times so it's best to take a generally relaxed approach to holiday planning and trust that this local tour team are working hard behind the scenes to ensure you have an amazing time. Their customer focus was excellent. The optional tour to Abu Simbel is a must do as well as taking a sail boat ride in Aswan. Sue, our guide to the Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Egyptian Museum was very knowledgeable and knew the best spots to take great photos. Our guide for the Nile Cruise, Ahmed Kassem, was awesome. Lots of 4am starts but these were worth it to beat the hoards of other tourists, avoid long waiting lines & getting to have some space inside the temples. Ahmed did a fantastic job in keeping us all together, being clear on meeting points and constantly gave us options for how much free time we wanted to spend at each temple. He was very adaptable and frequently asked for feedback which helped build confidence that he would take care of everything and he did not let us down. Ahmed also went above & beyond to accommodate my late requests to join a couple of additional tours (to the nubian village & hot air ballooning). The timeliness of communications seemed a bit last minute/were just-in-time when it came to flight tickets and hotel changes but Taher in Operations was very responsive to any questions raised. The hotels were great, our drivers were terrific and the arabian food was really good. The cruise ship was a little outdated but very clean and with friendly staff.

    We had a great tour of Egypt by this agency. It was exceptional and very organized. Everything went well and their team was very professional. We were greeted with smile by their team. Also we were housed in nice 5 stars hotels. If I have to go to Egypt again I will book with them. I highly recommend this agency and without hesitation will recommend this tour to my friends as well. In Cairo we were greeted by two tour guides from this agency. The first two days we had private guide by Mohammed Ebrahim who was excellent. The third day our group tour started by Soheila who was very charming. Both had excellent knowledge of the sites and explained everything very well. In Aswan we were greeted by Ahmad Ghasem whom I cannot forget his hummers and well manners. He was very helpful and very versed in Egypt history. He went out of his way to accommodate us. Provided breakfast and food in hotels and ship was very good. They even provided two complimentary lunches in this trip for us. The drivers were courteous, on time and skillful.
