Surprised to be paying $ 16 a day for tipping. We came in late at night on the first day, and I can't see why the 16 dollars was applied since all we had was the trip to the hotel, and the tour actually started the next day. To me, that was a ripoff since I tipped the driver that night anyway. Also had a tense moment since we were staying another night was asked to pay for a room when I had already paid it months ago, and I had the receipt with me and had to tell them that. They did rectify it, but I shouldn't have had to go through that stress. Also I am 75 years old, and I don't have to be told who I should tip because its mt business. I gave an American dollar to a very young girl at the train station and got lectured on it. It was nobody's business but mine. Then that same person basically nudged me into giving a tip to the busboy who only removed our luggage from the bus. WOW, big job, but I did tip him and made sure that it came out of our driver's tip. I went through Tour Radar on last year's Vietnam trip and never had any such issues, as everything went smoothly. Ahmed, our main tour guide, was brilliant. Very knowledgeable and was excellent. All in all, it was a very educational and very good tour with many sites, hot air ballooning, a trip on the Nile, and also camel riding. All in all, a very good tour but far from excellent, like the Vietnam tour last year at this time. Some of this that I have criticised should never take place.
Immortal Egypt – GEM & 5-Star AccommodationI had the best tour in Japan, I recommend tourrade to all my families and friends.
14 Days Japan Panoramic(Private 3 Star Hotels)It was a really good experience. Everything was really well organized by Holiday in Egipt, good logistics (the driver was always awaiting for us in the tours, airport or train station). The guides are really good, they know a lot about all the things we visit, and as all Egyptians, they're so kind. The hotel and the cruise are really top, they're really 5 stars hotels, with buffet for all meals. The only bad thing is about TourRadar: be careful, in the "not included" section, it's mentioned that entrances and tips are not included, so additionally to the price you pay for the tour, at your arrival in Egipt you'll still have to pay this part (in my case it was 206 USD). I think this practice is kind of dishonest because when reserving and paying, the site NEVER says that this amount is still missing. It should specify, really explicit, that this 200 dollars will have to be paid, but instead you have to read between the lines. Only negative point about the experience (again, it's a negative point for TourRadar, not for the local enterprise Holiday in Egipt).

What our customers ask about Fully Guided Tours & Trips
What are fully guided accommodations like?
You'll stay in comfortable 3-5 star hotels chosen for their location and quality. In Japan, this means places like the Star Gate Hotel near Kansai Airport and Osaka Castle Hotel. If you're headed to Egypt, you'll split your time between nice hotels like the Tolip Golden Plaza in Cairo and boats for your Nile cruise. One happy traveler put it well: "The hotels throughout the tour were all clean and comfortable. Our accommodation was everywhere acceptable and in nice boutique hotels."
How do you get around on fully guided tours?
Your guide takes care of all the travel details, so you can relax. You'll ride in comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles - small vans for smaller groups or larger buses when needed. In India, for example, groups of 4-5 travel in Toyota Innovas. Some trips mix it up with special travel experiences, like taking an overnight train in Vietnam or cruising down the Nile in Egypt. Your guide handles everything, including making sure your bags get to your room.
How active are fully guided tours?
It really depends on the tour, but most keep things at an easy to moderate level. You might walk for 2-3 hours on city tours, climb some stairs at temples or museums, or take optional hikes. In Japan, for instance, the Mount Fuji visit includes some walking at 7,546 feet (2,300m). Your guide will make sure the pace works for everyone in the group, and you'll have plenty of downtime at your hotel to rest up between activities.
How much free time do you get on fully guided tours?
You typically get 2-4 hours of free time each day to explore on your own. In India, for example, many tours do sightseeing in the morning and leave afternoons open. Your guide (travelers often mention guides like Neeraj) will suggest great things to do during your free time. Some tours also offer optional activities - like visiting the Abu Simbel temples in Egypt - if you want to add more to your day.
When's the best time to take a fully guided tour?
It really depends where you're going. Vietnam is best from October to March when you'll miss the monsoon season. Morocco shines in spring (March-May) and fall (September-November) when the weather is warm but not too hot. As one traveler who went to Vietnam shared: "We went in April and had perfect weather - not too hot or rainy, making the outdoor activities much more enjoyable."
