    The tour was amazing. Our guide from Aswan to Luxor - Hassan - was fantastic and very knowledgeable and made sure we always knew where and when we had to meet. Unfortunately he became ill and we had two other guides for the last one and a half days - Anas and Mohmmad who were just as good. In Cairo, our guide Sohalia was also excellent. We would recommend that the tour company allow more free time for clients to spend at the pyramids as we felt it was not long enough. Also the lunch on the itinerary stated that it would be a restaurant with a view of the pyramids/the Nile however this was not correct and we were disappointed in the restaurant choice (although the food was very tasty!). The boat was lovely our cabin was spacious, enough for 3 and the service and food was excellent. Communication between the tour company/guides and ourselves was excellent as we were always informed as to car arrivals, departure times and flight details. Thank you to Holiday In Egypt for a wonderful experience and for making my mum and sister’s dream of seeing the pyramids and sailing down the Nile come true!

    As a first time traveller to Egypt, this was a great way to see all of the major sites. I really enjoyed the river cruise, the room was very clean and food had great variety and was delicious. All of the personnel I encountered throughout the tour, reception, housekeeping staff, drivers, We’re all very helpful and friendly. My tour guide, Hassan, was very professional, funny and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour.

    I travelled to Egypt for the first time with my family last week and had the best experience with Holiday In Egypt’s Queen Cleopatra tour. Our guide Hassan explained all of the amazing sites to us in detail and I thoroughly enjoyed the itinerary. All of the accommodation was excellent, including the train - it was an adventure and that’s what we travel for. The boat cruise was fantastic - the spacious, clean room, amazing food, friendly staff, excellent sun deck, nightly entertainment and sharing the Egyptian culture through dance and music made this tour memorable. I highly recommend Holiday In Egypt.

    My mum and I had an incredible time on our tour of Egypt! The itinerary was perfect, and the pace suited us well. Our guide, Hassan, was fantastic—extremely knowledgeable and clear in his explanations, which was especially helpful for my mum. Hassan's knowledge of the area was truly impressive. He shared fascinating stories and insights about the culture, history, and local customs that brought the sights to life. His passion for his work was evident, and it made every moment of the tour engaging and enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the boat; the room, food, and entertainment were all outstanding. The group dynamics added to the experience, making it even more memorable. We can't wait to return to Egypt in the future! We would highly recommend this tour!

    I took this tour with my griend and her two daughters. It was a great tour for us all. We enjoyed every minute. Our hotel in Cairo was nice and clean, we also loved the breakfast there. We took the sleeper train on the way to Aswan, then from Luxor to Cairo on the way back, which was an interesting experience. From Aswan to Luxor we were on the boat for three days. Our rooms were spacious, the food was delicious, much better than I’d expected to be honest! Sailing along the Nile was extraordinary. Everyone and especially our guide Hassan was really friendly and helpful. He was also very informative. Egypt is full of history and the pyramids and temples were fantastic. I hope to go back and see the rest of Egypt soon.

    What an amazing and wonderful experience it was indeed having joined the Queen Cleopatra tour group operated by the great team from Holiday in Egypt taking us from Cairo to Aswan and Luxor. Starting with Mustafa who has always promptly replied if one had any questions to ask prior to the tour. He was extremely helpful in making sure that before one boards the flight to Egypt all details are cleared regarding the tour. He made one rest assured that all will be taken good care of and the experience would be hassle free, especially for first timers like me. Then upon the arrival at Cairo international airport the driver was already there ready to take me to the hotel. We also had an surprise upgrade for free as a generous offer due to the small number of 3 in our tour group to the 5 star hotel Helnan Dream from the host Taher from Holiday in Egypt. Taher met us at the Hotel in the evening and went through the whole trip with us individually which I dearly appreciate his time coming over to the hotel meeting all of us in person before the tour started. This was a great surprise upon my arrival in Cairo. Sohaila Faud was our first guide for the time spend in Cairo and she made sure we were taken well care off. Having visited the pyramids and Cairo Museum with her she went out of her way to ensure that we in our group deepend and expanded our understanding of this magnificent ancient civilization. The overnight train ride the next day was also an amazing experience and Bob the driver made sure that I arrived at the correct train and on time for the departure to Aswan. The Egyptian team on the train were also very friendly and helpful throughout the journey. Upon arrival in Aswan Ahmed kassem and his drivers was ready to be our guide for the next 4 days of our journey starting the cruise in Aswan to Luxor. Ahmed was very punctual and his knowledge about the history of this ancient land and it's people, their culture and their extrodanary achievements is surely worth gold. We had a fun pact adventure with him and he taught us alot of every site we had visited with him. The crew and team aboard the Casa Sol cruise liner were also very polite, friendly and would go out of their way to make the cruise for all of us as pleasant as possible. The food menue was perfect and very delicious and the cabin were very cosy, clean and comfortable indeed. This holiday and trip was surely worth every penny spend. To the people of Egypt thank you, these are memories I will cherish forever and I will be back to explore more of this great country. What a lovely time it was indeed, thank you all for making this possible to all tourist around the globe! Sunny greetings from South Africa, Tony

    This is a brilliant short snap shot of Egypt and it's deeply layered history. From the beginning I felt very comfortable and looked after by Ahmed Kassem who is a very experienced professional. He allowed us to optimise the short time that we had to get the most out our visit to the many historical sites. Ahmed love for his work bubbles through on his huge enthusiasm for Egyptology. Very open to questions and always has the answers or will try to find out. Coupled with the great guiding of Ahmed are the boat staff. They truly make you feel welcome and want you to enjoy yourself. The sad situation of the Palestinian people in Gaza might make people wary of coming to this beautiful destination. At no time did we feel threatened by it. We felt safe all the time and security is very high at all the sights. Definitely would recommend this trip

    This is an excellent tour to show you lots interesting stuff in a short time. Very good itinerary, pick ups always on time, our guide Ahmed Kassem was so enthusiastic and interested in telling us all the history, so knowledgeable but didn't overload us and kept checking that we were enjoying ourselves. We felt very safe and well looked after. The boat was lovely and the staff couldn't have done enough for us. Tour manager Tahir was always available if we needed anything and was very helpful and kind.

    Well-organised tour of key highlights to see between Cairo and Aswan. Our guide Hassan was full of info and details to help us understand what we were seeing. He co-ordinated everything for us and the tour ran smoothly as a result. Our group was 10 in total plus Hassan and our group was such a lovely bunch of people! Be prepared for a few early starts to see some of the sights. You will also visit a few stores along the way eg papyrus, perfume/oils and alabaster. Be ready to bargain! Don't accept the "fixed prices" noted on the items. The time cruising the Nile was brilliant - we were on the Radimis II and it was mesmerising gliding along the river. Rooms were great and very clean and comfy. Unfortunately, the accommodation in Cairo (Cairo World Trade Centre Residences & Hotel) lets the experience down. Staff there are nice but the rooms are disappointing (very dated interiors, smell of cigarette smoke, lack of hot water in bathroom, floors had obviously not been cleaned). Hopefully Holiday in Egypt will reconsider using this hotel. However, on balance, a well-run tour and we have come away with magical memories (temples, tombs, hot air ballooning, going thru the Esna lock on the Nile, visiting a Nubian village, camel rides etc). Thanks again to Hassan and Taher (tour organiser)!
