  It was a wonderful experience! I thoroughly enjoyed visiting all the pyramids, temples and tombs with our very knowledgeable (Egyptologists) and warm and friendly guides. I’ve learned so much in these 10 days! They don‘t just rattle down facts, but weave them into interesting stories about the gods and kings, explain the different hieroglyphs, etc. It never got boring. I loved that the visits didn‘t feel too rushed and that we always had time after the guided tour to explore the sights on our own. I took so many photos ? The organisation was flawless, the drivers were on time and the cars/vans were comfortable and air-conditioned. My Top 5 highlights were the GEM (Grand Egyptian Museum), the Medinet Habu Temple (beautiful colors), staying at the Winter Palace in Luxor (feeling like Agatha Christie!), the Nile cruise and Kings Valley. Of course there were so many more ? I would advise not to book all the extras in advance, so that you can have more time to relax. There is quite a lot to see and I did underestimate the hot temperatures and how tired I would get in the afternoon/evening. I highly recommand the Saqqara Day Trip (great first day of the tour and very interesting prelude to seeing the Pyramids of Giza), the sunrise hot air balloon (touristy but still magical!) and the Nubian village tour. The other extras are not a must see. Instand treat yourself to a relaxing egyptian massage in your Aswan hotel (Mövenpick) or a relaxing swim in the hotel pool (Winter Palace in Luxor). If you have time, add a few days in Cairo at the end of your tour to explore the other museums of Cairo on your own. The new GEM is part of the tour, but I would also recommend visiting the (classic and wonderfully chaotic) Egyptian Museum at Tahir Square and the NMEC to see the royal mummies. They are easily reachable via Uber.

  Booked this on the strength of its itinerary and was not disappointed. Upon landing in Cairo, EVERYTHING was handled with professionalism and attention to detail, even though the group was small. This extended throughout the itinerary which featured some of the most knowledgeable guides anyone could ask for. Major shout-out to Anas, who was our beacon in Luxor and the cruise to Aswan. The stories he told were riveting and enhanced the experience greatly. There are no downsides to this tour. Pacing was aggressive, but not at the expense of the experience. This balance is difficult to achieve, and they nailed it. Accommodations were all top notch and there was never a moment where I was concerned about anything related to planning or execution. It was a pleasure.

  A wonderful week traveling around Egypt! We were accompanied by Anas, an energetic and respectful guide. In Luxor, his passion for the colors of Habu Temple was contagious, making us appreciate them just as much. As a father and son exploring the country, we wholeheartedly recommend him and the company he works for. Good hotels choice in Luxor, Aswan and Cairo.

  A high-quality guide group tour with 6 members. All hotel stays where at 5-star accommodations. Provided food was Good to Excellent. First was at the Mena House Hotel next door to the Great Pyramid. Visited most of the well-known pyramids in the Giza area and the Great Egypt museum in Cairo. Visit to a silk carpet making factory and demo of carpet making to include harvesting silk from cocoons. Also, a visit to a papyrus making factory with demo of the making of paper. Beautiful artwork available for purchase. The next leg of the tour was all about the Nile River. Source of Egypt's current and pass life. Air flight from Cairo to Luxor starts the 5-day river cruise. First night in Luxor was at the Winter Palace Hotel. Very Nice! Next day, we transferred to our river boat accommodations for the remained of our stay in Luxor. We docked across the street from the Luxor Temple complex. Luxor is beautiful. Visit to many tombs in Valley of Kings to include King Tut's tomb and Howard Carter home. Jewel Howard Carter's discovery of Tutankhamun tomb attracted the interest of the world to Egypt. The next day was an incredible sunrise hot air ballon ride over Luxor and the Valley of Kings. Unbelievable! From Luxor, Nile River cruise adventure starts. Stopping for a visit of Kom Ombo Temple in Edfu. Continuing to Aswan. Aswan centers around the two dams. Visit to the High Dam and Abu Simbel home to Ramesses II Temple and Hathor. Large rock-cut temples rescued from the waters of Lake Nasser before construction of the High Dam. Next in Aswan, we visited the Temple of Philae complex which is dedicated to Isis. Contruction of Low Dam flooded the Temple complex and had to be relocated to higher ground. Last night in Aswan we relocated from River boat to Movenpick Aswan. A beautiful hotel on an island in the middle of the Nile. Highlight of the last night in Aswan was the Nubban village visit. Hopping on water taxis to make our way. The water taxis were an experience on their own. Back to Cairo for the last day. Once again, a super nice hotel alone the banks of the Nile. A walking tour of old Cairo, The Hanging Church and Old Cairo Bazaar. What a wonderful bucket list vacation.

  We couldn't have made a better choice. All of our expectations, and then some were met. Our tour guides, Marwa and Anas, were remarkable. They were very proud to share their knowledge of all the tombs and temples, as well other local attractions. The small group size was the perfect size for them to make the experience personal.

  As a woman travelling alone I felt very safe & well looked after at all times by the experienced guides. Tony, Anas & Ayman were very knowledgeable of each of their designated areas. Maiwa is an expert Egyptologist & it was a wonderful experience to explore the Pyramids & the National Museum with her. The trip lived up to all my expectations. Suzanne Bourke, New Zealand

  Excellent is the well earned rating. The itinerary throughout Egypt was always strong, as it took my husband and me from Cairo, to Luxor by air, then a Nile cruise to Aswan, and a return flight to Cairo. Group size was ideal. It was just the 2 of us with a very capable driver and guide at each location. Tony in Cairo and Anas in Luxor/Nile were outstanding guides. Every scheduling, safety, logistics, comfort, and knowledge base detail was strongly delivered by them. Our day guides were very good as well. They were experienced in their fields of study which included archaeological dig sites and restoration of tomb interiors. There is always more to say about the fantastic hot air balloon over the Valley of the Kings, historical hotels, and great restaurant recommendations with Pyramid views and Nile views. We have only positives about this trip. We highly recommend the Egypt! experience!
