We loved our trip to Egypt, it was the perfect trip to tick off some world class sights from our bucket list - Great itinerary - world class sights, awe-inspiring, Pyramids, GEM, Nile cruise and Valley of the Kings were our highlights - worth upgrading to the flight to Aswan though prepare for a very early wake up call! - packed a lot in - Red Sea perfect for relaxing after busy days and early starts - Our tour guides were fantastic - Abdul and Tamer - Being in a group protected us from scammers and the worst of the hassling - Don’t expect western standard of 5 stars but for the price I thought the quality of accommodation and food was good and better than expected, lovely spacious rooms and comfy beds Cons: - would have loved earlier notice of where we were staying - even a few days in advance would have been fine but sometimes we weren’t told at all. This is particularly an issue for the Hurghada part of the trip as we wanted to arrange excursions but didn’t know where we were staying. We ended up in Sahl Hasheesh which is lovely but 40 mins from Hurghada so we had to pay more for pick up from our hotel for a boat trip.
Immortal Egypt – GEM & 5-Star AccommodationWhat an experience ! We loved this trip so much. Would highly recommend this trip.
Queen Cleopatra – Pyramids, GEM, Nile Cruise & 5-Star AccommodationAn unforgettable Nile cruise experience. Sailing along the Nile while visiting the majestic temples was simply breathtaking — every stop felt like stepping into living history. A special mention goes to our guide, Ahmed. He was knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely caring throughout the journey. He explained everything clearly, answered every question with patience, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included. Yes, be prepared for a few very early wake-up calls to visit the temples, they are so many! — but it’s absolutely worth it also you want to avoid the crowd. On the cruise the food was delicious with plenty of variety, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff were consistently friendly and attentive. Overall, a beautiful cruise that I would highly recommend.

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."
