    Asked on December 23rd, 2025

    Is this tour customisable?

    Tour Details
    • Travel Chasers formerly Expat ExploreOperator•Written December 2025

      Our tours are pre-set and not customisable, as they're carefully designed to include the key highlights and experiences, with all logistics arranged in advance. That said, you'll still have free time during the tour to explore on your own, and you're also welcome to sit out certain activities if you'd prefer to do something independently. Your tour leader will be happy to share local tips and suggestions along the way, so you can make the most of your time beyond the standard itinerary

    Asked on June 3rd, 2025

    me and my friends are planning to go to Egypt this coming October. I just want to know how much will be the estimated cost for 4 persons for this 9 days tour including hot air balloon, nubian village, paradise island or snorkelling, abu simbel. It will help us to decide and plan well our travel. Also is this tour available from October 11 to October 19?

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Travel Chasers formerly Expat ExploreOperator•Written June 2025

      This 9-day tour offers a fantastic experience cruising the Nile with visits to iconic sites. Some of the activities you mentioned—like Abu Simbel—are optional excursions you can take. The hot air balloon ride, Nubian Village visit, and Paradise Island/snorkelling are not currently listed on the itinerary or as optional excursions, but your Tour Leader can provide recommendations. There are two departures for this tour in October: October 4 and October 18. The dates you mentioned (October 11 to 19) don't align with a scheduled departure, but if your dates are flexible, you can join one of these departures.

      Traveler•Written May 2025

      Are you Tour Radar or Expat Explore? I'm confused.

    • Travel Chasers formerly Expat ExploreOperator•Written May 2025

      Expat Explore is the tour operator, which means we are the ones who design, run, and operate the tours — including the itinerary, transportation, accommodation, and tour leaders. TourRadar, on the other hand, is a booking platform — similar to an online travel agent. They help travelers book tours with many different operators (like Expat Explore) through their website.

    Need to know the hotel names

    Accommodation
    • Travel Chasers formerly Expat ExploreOperator•Written January 2025

      At this stage, your departure is too far in advance for us to give you a confirmed hotel list. Due to the fact that our hotels are subject to change, we do not provide inaccurate information beforehand to minimize any confusion that may be caused. We therefore suggest reaching out roughly 90 days prior for this information.

      Traveler•Written January 2025

      can you give us a rough idea about the hotels. we will mention "Or Similar Category hotel" while suggesting the hotel names to the customer

    • Travel Chasers formerly Expat ExploreOperator•Written January 2025

      Below are the Hotels that were recently used for this tour. No assurance as of this point that it will be the same Hotels but yes, it will be of the same category if ever we have to choose a different hotel. Pyramids resort by Jaz. Gravity Samra Bay resort. For the Boat Cruise Leg of the Tour, we have recently used M/S Miriam or M/S Nile Symphony.

    Asked on November 29th, 2024

    is it possible to fly from hurghada to cairo instead of taking the bus? what is the latest time to arrive in cairo and the earliest time to depart for home?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • Travel Chasers formerly Expat ExploreOperator•Written December 2024

      Our tours are sold as package deals, so no amendments can be made to the included transportation. If you prefer to fly from Hurghada to Cairo instead of taking the bus, you are welcome to arrange this independently, but please note that this will not affect the overall tour cost. The first day of the tour is an orientation day, meaning you are free to arrive at any time. If you do arrive on Day 1, you will receive a complimentary transfer from the airport to the starting point. On the final day, the tour will conclude after breakfast, around 10:00 AM. Should you choose to depart on the same day, a complimentary transfer back to the airport will also be provided.

    • Travel Chasers formerly Expat ExploreOperator•Written October 2024

      Due to the fact that our hotels are subject to change, we do not provide inaccurate information beforehand to minimize any confusion that may be caused. We therefore suggest reaching out roughly 90 days prior for this information. The same goes with which 5 Star Cruise will be booked for the tour. The Flight to Aswan from Cairo is already included in the tour package. Also, when the cruise ends on Day 6, the tour will proceed to Cairo through Hurghada.
