  I can strongly recommend this tour. It was well organized, we had two amazing and very knowledgeable guides, and we had plenty of time to see and enjoy all temples and pyramids. All accommodations and food included in the tour were good. We took the night train from Cairo to Luxor which was fine but maybe not for everyone. I would also recommend adding all the extra options as these are some of the best temples and experiences on the trip.

  I took the tour in October 2024 and was genuinely very pleased by the tour! It was my dream to come to Egypt since I was a little girl and the trip did not disapoint at all! I would definetly recommend this tour with A.B. Worldwide Voyages. We were 3 during our tour as it was not fully high season yet, which made it very easy to hear the guides and made it a more familial ambiance than the big tour groups. Here's a few more details about the trip so you know what to expect from it (as of October 2024). In Cairo, we had Marwa as our guide for the Giza pyramids and Egyptian museum. We had a great time with her, she was very knowledgable. We even had time to go to the inside of the big pyramid (extra fee). I would actually skip it if I would have to redo it, it's really crowded, small in certain areas and warm and it would be better that you are in good shape if you choose to do it. Saqqarah and Dashur's although more difficult in a way might be more worth it, there is also less people (they are not included in the tour but we went there in our extra time in Cairo after the tour). For the time of the cruise we had Anas as our guide (from Luxor to Aswan to Luxor). He was always very nice, knowledgable and helpful. He tried to always keep us in the shade away from big groups of tourist where possible and arranged so that in some places we would arrive when there is the least amount of tourists. I never felt rushed to see the different places. After his explanations we always had time to walk in the sites on our own which I really appreciated. He suggested times to meet and asked if that would be enough time to be on our own and it always was, without rushing. For the optional tours, we took Karnak sound and light show, Abu simbel, Dendera tempel, the Nubian village and snorkeling in Hurghada. Personally, I would recommend all of them but especially Dandera. I would recommend Karnak just for beeing there at night, it seems even more impressive than during daylight. But the sound and light show is about the history of Karnak which we had heard during the day visit... If you choose Abu Simbel, it's a long drive there and to Luxor afterwards but it was worth it! Our guide, Anas, tried to switch the days so we would not have the drive to Abu Simbel and then to Luxor on the same day but in the end we stuck to the original plan so we would avoid the tourist hords. We arrived early and almost no one was there, which is an added bonus to be there before anyone else. The nubian village was also a nice added bonus, just the ride on the boat, views from Aswan and the Nile from the top of the hill and possibility to swim in the Nile makes it worth it. Although the ride to the hill top was a bit bumpy. We visited one nubian house and had some tea, food and got to hold a crocodile. But if you have to choose between the extras I would strongly recommend Dandera (Vai dandra I believe in description). It is one of the best preserved temple in terms of the colours of the walls, truly beautiful! For the snorkeling, we were not told much of what it entailed and were a bit surprised that it was more than just snorkeling. It was a full day with about 1 hour max of snorkeling at 2 different spots, lunch on the boat and 2 hours at a beach on a island close to Hurghada. The colours of the water were amazing at the beach and we saw lots of fishes during the snorkeling. To know that you will be in big groups and there are other boats so you will be around a lot of people. After the beach time we had to wait because the were some watersports (1 min of sofa watersport) which we did not care for but mostly because we expected to be brought back to the marina. The resorts in Hurghada also offer these trips so you might choose one there that best fits what you want. At the end of our trip we stayed a few more nights in Cairo (we took care of the hotel) but added Old Cairo and Alexandria tours through A.B. Worldwide Voyages and had Marwa for both. We enjoyed the tours, as always Marwa was very friendly and knowledgable. But I have to say that I was a bit disapointed with Alexandria, which had nothing to so with the tour but the idea I had in my head of the city so I don't know if I would recommend it. Old Cairo was also very interresting to see, it's impressive how monuments were built one on top of each other! Overall the accomodations were very nice. The overnight train to Luxor might although not be to everyone's liking, but I was ok with it. Toilets are not the best and there is no shower so you'll have to wait to be on the cruise but there is a little sink in the cabin compartment at least. If you are wondering if you should travel as a female on your own then answer is yes. We had no issues during the whole trip and the guides are mostly always with you. Although expect people trying to sell souvenirs to you but just say no thank you (La, shukran) and they won't bother you much more. In summary, I really enjoyed the tour :)

  Tony and Anas the two main individuals I interacted with were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The one knock I have is that during the time in hurghada there seemed to be a lack of communication between the representative there and the people who would be picking us up and where we were supposed to meet. My suggestion are it might be better to book these specific experiences through the hotel as I feel it is better than going through an essential 3rd party. Both the snorkeling and safari were definitely worth it.

  Great value, with attentive and knowledgeable local guides, and decent accommodation. Most of the food at the Hurghada resort was pretty awful however.

  The trip plans well and price is cheaper than the other travel agents. Nasr, our tour guide in Cairo, is fantastic and highly recommended him as the tourist guide for Cairo activities! All added tours guided by their own tourist guides were pretty good. But the optional tour of hot balloons was just ok: spent too long on the boat waiting and less time on the air than the others! The location of the hot ballon went up was also far away from mountain!

  This tour is recommended for people who want to travel around the country with professional local guides. During the visits to temples and historical sites, the guides, trained Egyptologists, pass on their knowledge to us with passion (many thanks to our fantastic guide Anas who travelled with us from Luxor to Abu Simbel). They also introduce us to current life in Egypt. However, you should not underestimate the amount of tips which are quite substantial. In general, it is a good tour, with the flexibility to arrange the program, to discover the historical treasures of Egypt and to make some nice encounters.
