  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.

  My sister and I had a blast on our trip and tour. We had a main guide, Hassan, throughout the large part of the trip from Aswan to Luxor. He was incredibly knowledgeable and had a great personality and humor. We were also pleasantly surprised to have two Egyptologist guides when we made our way back to Cairo, each with their own specialty. Marwa helped take us back in time at the pyramids. Her expertise as an archeologist was incredible and you could feel her passion for the subject and history. We found her to be engaging and were inspired by her tenacity to work with teams and dig sites. Our guide for Old Cairo (I believe his name was Nassar) was also great and pointed out so many things as an Egyptologist that we easily would have overlooked if with a typical guide. We absolutely loved having that personal touch of knowledge with our guides. The accommodations, drivers, guides and arrangements throughout made for a great sister’s trip. I would definitely consider this company again in the future.
