Reply from: Itaca HolidayDear Rossana, Thank you so much for your heartfelt and beautifully detailed review — your words truly touched us. It was an absolute pleasure to help organize your journey through Egypt, and we’re thrilled to hear that it exceeded your expectations. A big thank you from Ihab, who will be so happy to know that his care, daily follow-up, and dedication made you feel supported and reassured throughout your trip. That level of personal attention is exactly what we strive for with every traveler. We’re also delighted to know that you enjoyed the company of our amazing team of drivers and guides — your kind words about their professionalism, kindness, and driving prudence mean so much to us. It’s wonderful to hear that Isra made your time in Cairo warm and welcoming, and that Mohamad, Elham, Ayman, and even our desert logistics team helped bring Egypt’s ancient wonders to life with insight and passion. While we’re sorry to hear that your experience with one guide didn't meet your expectations, we’re proud of how Ihab handled the situation and that you were able to fully enjoy the rest of your journey with guides who truly connected with you. From the Pyramids to Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Abu Simbel, and Philae, your words so vividly capture the beauty and magic of each site. We couldn’t agree more — Egypt is a living museum of humanity’s greatest achievements, and seeing it in person is something that simply can’t be replaced. Thank you again, Rossana, for your trust, your appreciation, and your passion for this extraordinary destination. We would be honored to welcome you back whenever you’re ready for your next Egyptian chapter.Show more

Asked on September 7th, 2025I'm looking for a trip to Egypt for a couple, and I'm very interested in your offer. I'm considering you and two other tour operators. Is there anything that you offer that others don't? We're interested in going to Abu Simbel and staying an extra night in Cairo after the Nile Cruise. Would you be able to tell me how much the additional charges are? For example how much are the entrance fees per person?
Itaca HolidayOperator•Written September 2025We're excited to offer you a special rate for the Abu Simbel tour at $110 instead of the regular $120. Additionally, if you choose to enjoy an extra night, we're pleased to provide it at a discounted rate of $40 per person rather than $50. Cos entrance fees $125 per person.

Asked on August 21st, 2025Can you advise if there is an extra cost for a german guide? Can you advise the hotel name in Kairo? Would you be able to transfer to her hotel in Cairo on the last day from the airport in Cairo and is this included? Would the ship have alcoholic beverages and are these included in the price?
Itaca HolidayOperator•Written August 2025A German-speaking guide can certainly be arranged. The supplement for this service will be €100. The hotel in Cairo will be Locanda Museum hotel. Regarding the airport transfer on the last day: originally this is not included. However, as a gesture of appreciation for choosing our services, we will be happy to provide this transfer complimentary to ensure a smoother and more convenient experience. On the Nile Cruise, guests will enjoy full board (breakfast, lunch, and dinner included). Alcoholic beverages are not included in the package price, but they are available for purchase on board.
