Fantastic experience. Always concerned about our comfort, helped throughout our trip (Cairo and Hurghada). They were always in touch, taxis always available. Advice. They made our visit to Egypt unique. Thank you 🙏
Egypt Excursions Online is the best way to see the pyramids - they provided us with safe, punctual transport and a knowledgeable guide who bought our tickets and accompanied us to all the sights in an efficient manner.
Wael was the best tour guide we had in Egypt! His driver and tour guide to-be, Abdul, was a great addition. Their English was perfect; Wael was full of good information; he helped us to get around Sakkara, Memphis, and Giza; and he provided us with more than what we paid for! That being said, the organization of the tour was a bit difficult. Although the tour guide was great, the agency could improve its communication with the clients. For instance, we did not know when or where we would be picked up until 2 days before the tour. We visited many things that were not advertised as well. So if you have something you want to see, you should mention it right away to your tour guide! For future travelers, prepare for a fun tour but be aware that you may have to wait a long time before being in contact with someone.
Top tour. My guide Randa was very professional and very nice. Also driver very good. All on time eith a very nice experience. Really worth it to do it. Thank you Randa!
Iman and Mustafa were incredible. There was no request that was left unfulfilled. Iman went above and beyond and gave 100% of herself to each event. Her dedication and positivity can make anyone feel right at home. I’ve presented her with events outside the scope of our itinerary and they graciously fulfilled my needs. Mustafa was incredibly respectful, attentive, and mindful. He’s a seasoned driver with exceptional performance. This company has earned a friend in me. Until next time.
