  We just finished the 10-day tour of Egypt and had a memorable time. The two main contacts - John and Michael (who are brothers, by the way) were present at the airport or hotel in order to co-ordinate the schedules. Both of them were well-organized and personable. Rarely a moment went by without them demonstrating care for our comfort, and rarely did a moment go by without one of them laughing. Our flights, bus rides, van tours, and cruise excursions all went off without a hitch. Our guide for the Nile River Cruise was Mansoor and he accompanied us from Luxor to Aswan. He knows his stuff. Full stop. He was confident, well-spoken, and led us to hieroglyphics, structures, and artwork that other guides did not show their groups. We started early each morning, he kept a good, structured pace, and we beat the crowds every single time in Luxor, Abu Simbel, and the Nubian villages. By the end of 4 days, we considered him as a family member. Our guide in Cairo was Bebo, and what a nice, laid-back person. He shined especially when leading us through Old Cairo, St. Mark’s, and the Hanging Church. Bebo pointed out different architectural features and relics that helped us understand the story of the Holy Family’s stay in Cairo. He also showed us the ins and outs of Alexandria (Roman Theatre, Alexandria Library, and the Pompeii Pillar). The restaurants selected by the Vacations to Go staff were also top-notch. Authentic Egyptian food was tasty, and the fruit drinks were fresh. Finally, the drivers were also outstanding. Egyptian traffic is crazy at all times of the day, but our drivers showed courtesy towards others, passed at safe speeds, and displayed smooth driving and cool emotions even during stressful traffic jams. Bravo!

  This was a perfect first tour of Egypt to view the Pyramids and temples. The organisation of the trip was without fault as every part of our journey once we arrived was handled. The guides were were both very welcoming and excellent in their delivery of the various destinations. The tour provided a very good coverage of stops from the top to the bottom of Egypt...very much recommended.

  From the moment we arrived at Cairo airport and were met by Michael everything was so well organised. All the tour guides were amazing not only informative but friendly and flexible. Everything went like clockwork. They even provided us with a handy tipping guide which we even shared with some other travellers we met on the cruise it was so helpful. We added an optional day trip to Alexandria too. We saw some absolutely amazing sights and would also recommend the hot air balloon ride over the Valley of the Kings. The cruise along the Nile was great. We mostly did our sightseeing in the morning or evening leaving us to relax on the boat in the heat of the day (temperatures over 40 degrees) You will be amazed by the sights and you really do have to see it to appreciate it all.

  I recently went on a 10-day tour through Egypt, and it was an incredible journey from start to finish. The itinerary was thoughtfully designed, taking us to all the must-see spots like the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx, where standing in front of such iconic monuments felt surreal. One of the best parts was the Nile cruise, which was both peaceful and packed with amazing sights. The ship was comfortable, and the staff were attentive, making it easy to relax after a day of exploring. We visited beautiful temples like Kom Ombo and Edfu along the way, which were brought to life by our guide’s fascinating stories. I also appreciated how well-organized everything was — from airport pickups to local tours, everything ran smoothly. The guides were not only knowledgeable but also personable, sharing a mix of historical facts and local tips that made the experience more meaningful. If you’re looking for a well-rounded introduction to Egypt that covers all the major highlights without feeling rushed, I’d highly recommend this tour.

  Very well organised tour, communication with Vacations to Go Travel was very clear & prompt. Airport pick-ups and drop-offs all very smooth. They accommodated our seven hour delayed arrival (courtesy of British Airways) without any problem! Our Egyptologist guides (Bassem & Mansour) were both exceptional; very friendly, knowledgeable & helpful with anything we asked or needed. Being a small group of six we felt we had a very personal service from them both. I think it would be very difficult to achieve a tour like this independently, particularly in 10 days. The guides make everything simpler and quicker, from purchasing tickets at the monuments to organising transport to and from the hotel & ship, making for a very relaxed & stress-free experience. The hotel in Cairo (Steigenberger El Tahrir) was clean & comfortable and had an wide selection for breakfast. WiFi was good and available everywhere. The lunches we had as part of the tours in and around Cairo were both authentic & excellent. The cruise ship (Esmerelda) was great with delicious food - very wide choice and good quality. Clean, large cabin, friendly staff, with amusing & unusual towel art! The only thing that let it down was the WiFi - difficult to connect & reconnect to, non-existent in the restaurant and the free package (1GB) stopped working prematurely. It wasn't a big problem for us as we had a generous cellular data package, having bought a SIM at Cairo airport. The tour involves quite a few early starts (particularly if the options for a balloon ride & a trip to Abul Simbel [both excellent] are taken), but this means monuments can be visited when it's cooler and they are slightly less crowded. I think it would be very difficult to achieve a tour like this independently, particularly in 10 days. The guides make everything simpler, from purchasing tickets at the monuments to organising transport. Overall this tour exceeded my expectations and was very good value. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this tour or company and would use them again.

  Just got back from a 10-day Egypt tour with Vacations to Go Travel, and it was fantastic! We saw the Pyramids, cruised the Nile, and explored ancient temples—all amazing. The hotels were great, and the Nile cruise was a real treat. Our guides were friendly and knowledgeable, making everything easy and fun. We also got to enjoy some local food and markets, which was a nice touch. Overall, a perfect trip for anyone wanting to experience the best of Egypt. Highly recommend!
