Egypt 8 D: Cairo, Aswan,Abu Simbel, cruise, Luxor & Sleeper Train

Amazing tour from start to finish. Our main contact Peter ensured everything ran smoothly and we had everything we needed. Our Giza and Cairo guide Ashraf was so knowledgeable and took great photos, the driver was excellent navigating traffic. Part two of tour was the Nile cruise. The boat exceeded expectations, rooms and buffets excellent. The only disappointment was that we remained docked in Aswan for two days before the boat sailed and our cabin view was mostly of the boat docked beside us as the boats dock three or four abreast (you walk through them all to get to/from shore). This should have been made transparent from the start. Our guide Khaled for this part of the tour took great care of us, establishing a WhatsApp for the group to convey important information. We visited many temples and tombs - all spectacular. We felt safe throughout the entire tour and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you to everyone who looked after us. We woukd highly recommend this tour.

The trip was very well organized and we had a great time! Our first driver was very good and extremely helpful (Islam). Our tour guides helped us with everything we needed and provided great information, especially our guide during the Nile Cruise (Tallaat Abdo), who was considerate with our needs and knew a lot about the places we visited, we learned a lot from him. Despite the hot weather, we had a great time and recommend the tour! I have only one suggestion to the agency, we had a horse pulled carriage ride, and we didn’t know about it until the date, and we don’t usually ride vehicles that depend on animals. It might cause disconfort for tourists that feel the same, so I suggest you communicate the tourist before, and if possible, give an alternative ride (with no animal exploration).

We had a fantastic week in Egypt travelling with a 9 year old. Starting in Giza we had two days with Ashraf seeing the Pyramids and the museum learning everything you need to know. Accommodation was basic but comfortable and staff couldn’t do enough for us. The overnight train to Aswan was an experience where we joined 3 nights on the Nile Style. Upgraded to a suite we had a balcony and large room. Food was good and staff accommodating. Here Michael our expert guide took us on private tours of the fabulous sights of Aswan, Kom Ombo, Edfu and Luxor. Abu Simbu was an optional extra which we didn’t take this time. Michael not only looked after us perfectly, his teachings of Egyptian history, the stories and tales of old and bringing to life of the gods, kings and pharaohs had us enthralled. Michael knew all the best times to get us into the sites and gave us plenty of time to explore and photograph. We could highly recommend and thank everyone involved in our trip.

Loved the tour! We were able to see so much. Our guides were great. Talaat in Luxor and Sam in Cairo. They were patient with our large group ranging in age from 6-66. Both very knowledgeable and excited to share egypt. Would totally recommend.

EVERYTHING WAS SO GOOD, guides are very gentled and has a lot of knowing about Cairo history. Sleeper train was a nightmaire, is the noisest and dirtiest. We cant sleep. Aswan Nile Cruise was Good and the people working there was so gently.

Great vacation, excelent guide Magmud, but the train esa horrible, the personal in ramdamis boat was very kind

I had an amazing and memorable time. If you do this trip please plan for the entry fees and tips which are not included. Started in Cairo with tour guide Sam, he had great English and took me to Sakkara, Memphis, Giza pyramids, citadel, Cairo museum, and more. Sam was very professional telling me extensive historical and cultural info, and yet friendly, made the tour as if I had a close friend showing me around. Organised and punctual. He selected the best sights and times to go based on my needs. Nile cruise was beautiful, lots to see in Luxor and Aswan. Food on the Grand sun cruise was delicious and plenty of vegetarian/vegan options. I did the Abu Simbel extra it was beautiful and very worth while. Rooms on cruise were comfortable although needed updating a bit. All the guides were professional but Hani and Sam were exceptionally kind, thoughtful and and knowledgable. Highly recommended. I have no complaints except as a British person we like to know a lot of details. Would be nice to know more precisely the exact timings of the programs for each day with an itinerary because the only info I was given was on the brochure.
