  Had a great time. The hotels were beautiful, the cruise ship was good (the crew are a little pushy about being of service, and then definitely to get good reviews at the end, but I don't blame them). The tour started off good and kept getting better. Our guides, Ahmed Kassem and Sohalia Fuad (the latter just one day) were great. I really liked that the company let us customize the tour and add things at the end, and you could opt out of some things. I also really liked that unlike the huge tour groups on big buses we could arrive earlier to areas and avoid the biggest crowds. Highly recommend!

  We had a wonderful tour in Egypt. We were a little concerned before we arrived about how safe Egypt would be but we found no issues at all. There is a lot of security everywhere & at no time did we feel threatened. Definitely having a guide with you is a must. Both our tour guides Sohaila and Ahmed Kassem were excellent. They were very informative & easy to understand. Ahmed especially is a great story teller & really creates a great mood. They really helped to bond the group together as well . Sohaila was with us for the Giza & Cairo tour then we met Ahmed after flying to Aswan. He was with us then for the remainder of the tour. I think flying to Aswan was a better idea than the long train journey which one of our group did. All the sites were amazing but at times very busy especially on the cruise where all the boats arrive to sites around the same time. We had the unfortunate issue of one person in our group falling over & breaking their ankle & Ahmed handled the situation incredibly well by ensuring that they received medical care very quickly. Some of the days were very long meaning very early starts which meant that having breakfast before you left was impossible & the breakfast boxes that were supplied were not good. The hotels & the cruise boat were excellent. We did the tour to Dendera at the end of the tour with Ahmed & it was one of the highlights for us. There were no crowds & the temple is the best preserved that we saw. We highly recommend this tour.

  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.
