- LGLudovic· October 30th, 2024Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishOverall, our stay went very well. We had an excellent time thanks to our guide, Ahmed, who had a perfect command of his subject. He took care of everything so that we could make all the scheduled visits. His experience enabled us to concentrate on the essentials and discover the most important sites in a very short time. We really appreciated his explanations, his kindness and his availability, and we felt safe at his side. Many thanks again, Ahmed! As far as the operator "Holiday in Egypt" is concerned, I would strongly recommend being vigilant about extra activities, extra entrance fees and tips. I paid for all the entrance fees at the beginning of my stay, as well as for the non-mandatory tips, and I quickly realized that I had paid double the price for my children! If I hadn't complained to our guide, I don't think they would have refunded me... I also opted for a plane upgrade instead of the train, with a one-night hotel stay in Luxor, in order to arrive in Cairo in time for our return flight. Unfortunately, this turned out to be a bad experience: Holiday in Egypt booked us on a midnight flight that took us straight to Cairo airport, where we then waited for 5 hours. Although I had requested a 3 p.m. flight in order to have a night's rest in Cairo, I was informed that this was not possible. They then offered to pay for the room on the boat until 9.30pm, which I accepted for lack of alternatives. However, I received a phone call from reception and five knocks on my door at 7pm (while we were asleep) asking me to leave the room immediately, as it had not been paid for by Holiday in Egypt! All for a few extra dollars! So be careful with any extras offered by Holiday in Egypt and take the time to read between the lines.Show moreHoliday In Egypt commented on this reviewDear Ludovic, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a positive review about your recent experience with us.

- WGWendy· October 30th, 2024It was a well organised trip, with all the small things taken care of. Prompt pick ups from the airport to accommodation and reliable drivers. Was able to change return train tickets from Luxor tona flight easily as the train journey was certainly not of a very high quality, but yet an experience to be savoured one way! Our guide Kamal was very accommodating and organised.Show moreHoliday In Egypt commented on this reviewDear Wendy, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a positive review about your recent experience with us.

- HCHeu Kei Jaime· October 21st, 2024First time in Eygpt, this itinerary was a great way to explore Cairo and the Nile. We weren't sure about our safety prior to the trip and was going to cancel; however, once we were on tour, we felt safe with the assistance from the guide. Remember to bargain, even when you're in a shop. Sometimes it can't be help to feel ripped off but one would say that's part of the tourist experience. It was quite warm during the day, so be prepared for the heat. There were a few early starts for optional activities but the cruise part of the tour was quite relaxing.Show moreHoliday In Egypt commented on this reviewDear Jaime, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a positive review about your recent experience with us.

- Luisa Fernanda· October 21st, 2024Automatic translation available in English. View in EnglishIt was an amazing experience! They took care of us from the beginning to the end, giving us options and solutions for every situation. Our guide Anas always transmitted joy and his knowledge in every temple and place we visited, he also has a very good humor :). This beautiful experience made me feel much more appreciation for this beautiful country, its people and its history. A dream come true! The tipping culture is too present, even though at the beginning of the tour they suggest to pay the tip in advance, even if you do it, still every person along the tour (especially on the boat) expects (more) tips.Show moreHoliday In Egypt commented on this reviewDear Luisa, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a positive review about your recent experience with us.

- Watsti· October 21st, 2024Travel started in Cairo, with a very pleasant hotel and a nice guide. Went via night train to Aswan which was also a good experience, even though the bathrooms on the train were very very dirty. Our guide Anas, who joined us in Aswan and stayed with us for the rest of the trip, was the perfect guide, knowledgeable about everything, open for questions, funny and he overall improved our vacation by a lot! Only downside was the omnipresent tipping culture, people are very pushy with getting tipped and they let you know that. “ they say it without saying it”. Especially on the cruise part of the trip this was very noticeable. The ship overall was very clean, very nice and very enjoyable! We would highly recommend the air balloon ride over the valley of the kings. We would book this trip anytime again!Show moreHoliday In Egypt commented on this reviewDear Watsti, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a positive review about your recent experience with us.

The person who took care of us was great ( Anas ) in every way and aspect. Very knowledgeable very attentive always with an answer for all our questions and doubts. I will recommend the tour The only suggestion would be good to offer all the tours in one go because sometimes you come from another country as in my case Nicaragua and this way you pay cash and you don't have to take out money.Show moreHoliday In Egypt commented on this reviewDear Alan, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a positive review about your recent experience with us.

- Kristen· October 20th, 2024Overall, we had a fantastic experience. The tour itself was an unbelievable value for the money. I felt very safe in Egypt at all times. Although the sales people in the shops and near some of the sites can be very assertive, I didn't ever feel like I was in danger at any point. Everyone I ever interacted with who worked for or contracted with Holiday in Egypt was kind and went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed. Taher was great with coordinating the logistics and explaining what to expect. Our Cairo tour guide Mohamed was funny and knowledgeable. Our Nile Cruise tour guide, Ahmed, was flexible and great at managing a lot of different personalities. He was also very passionate about tellings the stories of the gods and pharaohs. There are a few things you should be prepared for when you go on this tour. First, it's an AGGRESSIVE itinerary. That's a good thing. You will see and do a lot. You will need time to unpack and process it all when you get back home. It's good to understand ahead of time that you will be getting up at Egypt time 3 am, 4 am, 5 am, and it will be 90 or 100 degrees outside by the time you're finishing up. Managing expectations about how long you can reasonably spend at each site both because of the number of places to go and the exhaustion you may feel is important. It was healthy for me to remember that this was an introduction, making me want to go back for a deeper dive. It helped me avoid feeling guilty about sitting out an excursion to save mental and physical energy for an activity I had been waiting for my entire life. I suggest that the tour guides allow us to manage our own bodies and needs in this way without giving us a hard time, as it's not a reflection of our enjoyment of the trip. Second, before we left, I found it frustrating that so little information is provided as it made things chaotic at times. At the lowest point, because of a miscommunication, we didn't know where our passports were for 24 hours and this caused some unnecessary anxiety. I spoke with the tour guide about it and it was an unfortunate mistake and he apologized. Toward the end of the trip, however, I came to see this in a new light. It's not that they're keeping the information to themselves -- they're trying to maintain flexibility because the company they're doing something I've actually never seen before: individualize a group experience, to the extent that that's possible. In other words, you're paying for a standardized experience. A group tour has a set of things by default. What Holiday in Egypt is trying to do is learn how to make everyone happy by adjusting and customizing to fit interests, schedules, and needs. The deeper we got into the tour, the more I came to truly appreciate our tour guide Ahmed. He learned our habits and used them to make sure we were happy, comfortable, and safe. He also balanced everyone's needs and desires simultaneously to make everyone as happy, comfortable, and safe as possible, for example, people who wanted only to take a few pictures at a site versus those who wanted to spend an hour or more exploring. He was able to manage a couple of disruptive young girls in the group who were constantly giggling and talking over him even when others were struggling to hear. He did this by giving them a role while he was leading the group to keep them busy, and it worked. On the final day, I watched him arrange an impromptu late lunch for a hungry group while coordinating a car for a couple that needed to get to the bus station and asking the driver to stop by McDonald's so they could eat; ordering two different cars that arrived within minutes of each other to take two group members to the airport to two different flights; and dropping people off at the ferry on the way to bringing us back to the cruise boat, where he arranged with the crew for us to have a room for the afternoon to shower and change clothes before our evening flights. I really have to give props to Ahmed for all the hard work he put in, and he always did it with a smile. I would go on this vacation again in a heartbeat. I would like to take another of their tours someday if I ever go back to Egypt.Show moreHoliday In Egypt commented on this reviewDear Kristen, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a positive review about your recent experience with us.

- Michele· October 20th, 2024I would highly recommend this tour for these reasons: the tour guides were incredible, the group size is small, and you are able to see the highlights of Egypt and leave thinking if you are not able to come back this trip would have been enough. Amina our tour guide in Cairo was full of energy and took us to the best Koshary place , Abou Tarek ! Ahmed K. was our tour guide from the Nile Cruise on to our last day. He is an amazing person and a fantastic tour guide! We are so lucky we got him! He is very patient and was very accommodating to all our questions and needs! I recommend doing the camel ride in Giza, the Abu Simbel tour and the hot air balloon ride in Luxor.Show moreHoliday In Egypt commented on this reviewDear Michele, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a positive review about your recent experience with us.
