I would like to thank everyone in Empire travel agency team specifically Peter and sherouk who organized our trip and planned a perfect itinerary for us across Egypt. Our tour guide, Sherif, was very knowledgeable and friendly and we had amazing time and learned a lot about ancient Egyptian history from him. He made our trip to an unforgettable memory. Our driver , Mr Abbas was a truly nice and calm gentleman. I would definitely recommend Empire travel agency to everyone who likes to have great time and fun experience in Egypt. My greatest regards.

A tour was organized for us based on the input we gave and it exceeded our expectations. The tour bus along with an exceptional driver and a knowledgeable tour guide picked us up from home at 8:00 am sharp as agreed. Tour guide was helpful, knowledgeable and fluent in English. My brother in law and his kids don’t speak Arabic so this was critical. We first went to the pyramids and throughout the ride it was smooth and full of helpful information. Karima was the tour guide and Abbas was the sweet driver to move us around. Karima took us to a great spot to eat with a close up view of the pyramids afterwards. We then went to the good markets in Khan el Khalili and helped us navigate the busy streets and stopped at great vendors on the way. Karima was very personable and super sweet with my two young nieces (first time in Egypt). The whole trip was simply awesome and I would highly recommend it. 10/10 would repeat.
Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review. We are delighted to know that your tour exceeded expectations and that you enjoyed every part of the experience from start to finish. Your kind words about Karima and Abbas mean a lot to us. They both take great pride in their work, and it is wonderful to hear that their care, professionalism, and warmth made your family’s trip so special. We are also happy that you appreciated the comfort of the bus, the itinerary, and the smooth organization.

I would like to thank the entire team at Empire travel. We spent months working closely with them on organizing a customized itinerary for my family, which spanned across Egypt via road and air travel over 22 days. Peter was personally involved in many of the interactions and provided great guidance to us. Our driver, Tony was a great companion for many of the trips. As well as all the other drivers we used throughout our visit. I can honestly say that our trip could not have been as memorable as it was without empire travel. We can’t wait to visit and we will definitely use them and recommend them to our family and friends.
