Annie· November 8th, 2025The scheduled tours were very good, the optional tours were very good too. The only area where the company is lack of is communications, they started a WhatsApp group chat for our group as to post our flight schedules, itineraries, etc. However, they never posted any finalized itineraries and our flights were only posted the night before we fly out. Tour departure times were verbally given to us the evening before and it was a very early morning departures. Our group were stressed out from the last minute announcement and some people even skipped their dinner because dinner starts at 8pm, departure time was 3:30am. We had posted on the WhatsApp asking for the flight times but the admins didn’t respond back until the night before after we kept asking the tour guide. For the return flight back to Cairo was even worst as some of us had different departure times & dates. It was very important that our flight were to schedule to arrive early enough from Aswen to Cairo so we can take our international departure flight in Cairo at 1am, we had to kept asking the tour guide for help because the admins were none responsive. At the end, they did come through with the flight schedule, again just one day before departure.Show moreTrip date: October 2025- SOSteve· November 7th, 2025The tour is a great introduction to Egypt, its history , culture and people Our tour guide and is an incredible person, amazing guide and now a friend.

- Stephan· November 6th, 2025The tour is perfect for newcomers in Egypt. If you’ve visited Egypt before try to skip optional excursions and easily organize your own-affordable and easy.Show more
Trip date: November 2025 - RKRichard A V· November 4th, 2025This was a great tour providing far more quality experience than I had expected. Of course it was the Pyramids and the Sphinx I came to see but the temples, the Nile Cruise. And ballon ride were just fantastic. The guides for each of the sub-tours were all very knowledgeable and passionate about the topic. Lastly the employees were friendly and happy to assist with everything, particularly Mohammed who coordinated the whole tour. Go to Egypt and it’s safe and fun and take this tour.Show more

Show moreTrip date: November 2025 - PPia· November 4th, 2025An unforgettable experience! While I expected the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx to be the main highlights — and they were truly spectacular — the Temple in Luxor completely took my breath away. Its sheer size and its grandeur were jaw-dropping. Abu Simbel was another standout; although the drive through the Aswan desert was long (especially on the return trip), it was definitely worth the journey. The night tour to Kom Ombo Temple (including the mummified crocodile museum) offered a refreshing change of pace from the daytime excursions — quieter, cooler, and full of fascinating detail. The last day of the tour took us to Philae Temple and the High Dam - again pleasantly surprised by Egypt’s history, both ancient and modern. Each day began on time, often with an early start — a much appreciated decision, as it had us inside the sites ahead of the crowds. The guides were very knowledgeable and well-versed in their country’s rich history. Delivery was thoughtful and well-paced (for the most part). Also, being open to questions, made for an engaging experience. Thank you. The cruise ship itself was average but comfortable. While I enjoyed some relaxing down time, its amenities (room, food) were fair. No matter, the daytime cruising on the upper deck had me thinking about the many passengers who travelled this river’s waters. Note that Wi-Fi was unreliable, of which we later learned is common while cruising on the Nile. The hotel in Cairo at the beginning and end of the tour was excellent — well-appointed with generous breakfast buffets, a decent workout area, a sauna, and a jacuzzi (though it wasn’t as hot as I’d hoped). These little comforts made for a pleasant start and finish to the journey. Note that non-smoking rooms are available upon request. A special mention to Mohammed, who was attentive and responsive to our personal requests and feedback throughout. Thank you. Overall, this was a well-organized and memorable tour. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in making a journey to Egypt.Show moreBeyond The Nile Tours commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback!

- JSJames· November 3rd, 2025This was a simply stunning experience. It’s common knowledge that Egypt has an extraordinary history and wonderful archaeological sites, the only question is how one might best see as many of these sites as possible. The tour was fantastic from start to finish. Our guide, Saladino, was thoughtful and accommodating. 3 generations of my family came on this trip and both young and old were looked after extremely well. The accommodation provided during the tour was of very high quality. The ship in particular was brilliant and we all thoroughly enjoyed sailing down the Nile, watching the world go by. The only slight disappointment during our tour was our hot air balloon flight being cancelled due to bad weather; however the tour company was excellent in ensuring that we received our money back. Overall, I would highly recommend this tour. Our guide was excellent. It was extremely good value for money. And Egypt itself is a gem.Show moreBeyond The Nile Tours commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback! We’re so happy you chose Beyond The Nile Tours for your Egypt adventure.

- Datta· November 1st, 2025This was simply a brilliant whistle-stop tour for anyone with either a passing or keen interest in Egyptian archaeology. Seeing Luxor, Karnak, the valley of the Kings, hatshepsuts temple, edfu, kom ombo, and the additional Abu simbel tour, ending qith a visit to aswan dam and philae, whilst aboard a fine cruise ship allowing for feasting and splashing in the pool meant that all of our family on tour, across the three generations, gained so much from it. We were well looked after by our tour guide Mr saladino, who planned ahead to address mobility, interest and comfort, even ensuring we sat the cool side of the coach when we visited the additional excursions made us feel like we got the best from this once in a lifetime holiday. I would highly recommend this company.Show moreBeyond The Nile Tours commented on this reviewThank you for your feedback! We’re so happy you chose Beyond The Nile Tours for your Egypt adventure.

Traveler•Written September 2025What time will we return to the Cairo airport on Day 7? Our flight is late night/early morning that day so we will just stay at the airport. Also if we don't need the last night hotel in Cairo can that be credited?
- Beyond The Nile ToursOperator•Written September 2025
You will return to Cairo from Aswan on Day 7 approximately between 18:00 & 23:00. Unfortunately, this package tour is for a small group tour, check-in, check-out and domestic flights are all together at the time of departure. So, if you will not take the last night we can't refund its cost but we can offer you a 10% discount on the optional tours.
