- Kamal· January 11th, 2026Overall Experience The tour was excellent and...Show moreTrip date: December 2025
- MDMerin· January 10th, 2026I can’t rave enough about what a wonderful experience this was to fulfill my dream to be able to go to Egypt. My friend had done this same tour last year and had such a great time so we went as a family of four adults. This was a big change for us to go on a group tour as we usually do private, but we felt that there is safety numbers and because this group tour was priced so well as long as we went with an open mind, we would have a good time! The good: We adored Ali, who helped with transfers in Cairo and Mohamed, who was the Tour ground person who got us all set up (and I swear that man never sleeps!) A different Mohamed was our driver for two of the pre trip days and I can’t believe that somebody can actually drive in the city. He was so cautious and helpful and smiled all day! We loved Ahmed in Cairo for our private pre trip City tour. He was so knowledgeable and also was kind enough to add in the Civilization museum to fulfill my dream of seeing mummies up close. Having him take us through the museum to show us the highlights and give us such great explanations was incredible. Abdul (Abdou) in Cairo was by far one of the best guides we’ve ever had in our lifetime and we travel a lot! He even was an archaeologist at Saqqura and brought such great insight to our tour. We were lucky to have him again when we joined the group tour. He gave us the most amazing explanations at the pyramids, coordinated a quick sit on a camel and was so incredible at the Gem museum. I wish we had had more time at the museum and if I could’ve stayed longer in Cairo I would have returned. Ash, our tour guide on all the days on the Cruise was so knowledgeable and kind and caring and thorough and managed our large group very well. He guided us so well through all of the major sites with explanations and tips on how to navigate. He used WhatsApp to communicate the upcoming schedule for the day which we really appreciated. This is a very comprehensive tour and you will see all of the important highlights but you must know that there are a lot of early mornings and very little free time for shopping or exploring outside of the schedule. We were prepared for this and this shouldn’t be a dealbreaker, but just be aware. And now the critique that pains me to write because truly, this was such an amazing tour, and the people were so wonderful and I did like everything except… We were told that the Tour group would be 15 to 24 max and it is advertised this way. Our group was 37. We thoroughly enjoyed the people that were on the tour who were from all over the world, but 37 is just too many people, creates longer periods of time to gather, you are further away from guides to hear, and slows down pacing, and we had no recourse. The Gewan hotel was definitely not a nice hotel. The first two rooms our children received did not have locking doors but the hotel rectified it and got them a new room but all of that takes time away from your trip. On the return trip with a stop over before leaving Cairo, the hotel room smelled horrible and there were non-working lights and limited towels. Again, not something that would prevent me from recommending this trip…the sheets were clean, breakfast buffet and boxes were fine, and you’re not really spending much time in the hotel, just be aware. We were on the MS Renaissance for the cruise. The room was nice and adequate and the staff was truly lovely. Internet service was awful and made it challenging to check in and we had to keep going to the front desk for them to help us re-login. Also, you’re only given one key to the room but they did give us two when we insisted. However, our keys had to continually be reprogrammed . We did miss one of the tours (crocodile temple) because there was a delay in getting through the locks which was not their fault at all, but just something that happens. The massage on the ship was fabulous. The crew staff could not do enough to make sure we were all happy. The beds were comfortable and room size was fine. We did not look the food on the ship but our server (Mosuafa) was always attentive. On the second to last night of our trip, I got injured (fell down) and thankfully I had medical insurance on my own. The cruise ship called the Dr. to the boat who saw me and my insurance company coordinated for me to get home in a lay flat seat. Don’t skip getting evacuation insurance on the side…it is so important! Getting injured was a challenge because boat did not have an elevator and we were on the fourth floor. The staff was so great in helping me get up the stairs. (They carried me Cleopatra style in a wheelchair) Ash, our tour guide was incredible in making sure that I was able to go on the last day tours by having somebody from the ship go along to assist me and told the tuktuk driver to go slowly so I wouldn’t get bumped. I’m so grateful for that as the Nubian village is not something to miss! Ash, our guide, went above and beyond by taking my husband to the pharmacy to pick up some things for me and also taking my son to a book shop as he didn’t want him to go alone. We are very grateful that we had Ash as our guide. Also, originally we were not going to do the balloon ride because I’m deathly afraid of balloons, but I’m so glad that we didn’t skip it. The early morning wake up call to get there before sunrise was absolutely worth it. Another highlight was the add-on of the horse drawn carriage ride through the city. Do not miss that! It is something we will never forget. All in all, group travel is not what we were used to, but going to Egypt with this Tour Company is something I would definitely suggest to other people and I would recommend going but just know what the shortcomings are. If you go in with a good attitude and know that all they want to do is make you happy and share their country, you will come out with beautiful memories and feeling very grateful for having gone on the trip.Show moreTrip date: December 2025
