I was not informed when I book the tour that 3 people are not allowed in my accomodation. Please refund my deposit.

Our usual accommodation type is on twin share basis, and third traveler will have to share with another traveler on their trip departure. If they prefer to have their own room, a single supplement can be booked at an additional cost. The single supplement excludes Day 5 (Felucca) where you will be in shared accommodation and is subject to availability. We are unable to guarantee triple room available at all the hotels.

Can credits from cancelled trips be used for future bookings?

Yes, credits from cancelled trips can be applied towards future bookings. These credits do not expire and can be used to book any available trip.

Are airport transfers available, even if we arrive late at night?

Yes, airport transfers can be arranged irrespective of your arrival time. Please confirm your flight details so we can ensure a smooth transfer.

What safety measures are in place for our travel destination?

Our company follows government travel advisories and implements safety policies to ensure the wellbeing of all travelers. We continually monitor and adjust our operations based on the latest guidelines.

How can special room requests be handled for a group booking?

For group bookings requiring special room arrangements, please provide the details and we will coordinate with the accommodations to fulfill your requests as closely as possible.

I'm interested in booking an Egypt tour. However I'll be traveling with my 76 years old mother who has limited mobility. She cannot walk long distances without resting. We would like to visit Egypt for 6-8 days. Would these tours be suitable? Are there any arrangements that can be made to allow her to enjoy the tour more easily?

The physical rating gives you an idea of how much physical exertion is required on a particular trip. This trip has a physical rating of 2 out of 5 = Some easy physical activities included in your trip. No physical preparation is required to make the most of the journey. We want all our travellers to enjoy a successful trip. In the case that we are not able to accommodate you on one of our standard scheduled group trips, we can refer you to our Private Groups team to tailor make an itinerary for you.

I'd like to price the itinerary with your company. In Luxor, I prefer to stay at the Steigenberger Achti with Nile view rooms & balcony. There are 4 guests, and we will need 2 rooms at each location.

We don't handle customized itineraries or pricing directly. Our Tailor-Made team specializes in crafting bespoke trips and would be delighted to assist you with your specific requirements.

Can you arrange pre and post accommodations for my tour?

Yes, we can arrange both pre and post accommodations for your tour. Please provide us with your specific dates and preferences so we can make the necessary bookings.

In case of an emergency, how can we contact support?

In the event of an emergency, you can contact our support team through the emergency contact numbers provided before your trip starts.

What are the requirements for travelers under the age of 18?

Travelers under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult, and some trips have minimum age limits to ensure the safety and suitability of the travel experience.

My trip to Egypt was, by far, the most impactful trip I've ever taken. I learned so much--not only about the country's amazing history, but also about the amazing people--and left a piece of my heart behind. This was my first group trip, and I could not have imagined 11 more wonderful people to spend my days and nights with. However, the trip exceeded my expectations due to our incredible tour guide, Mohamed Ebrahim. Mo was THE ABSOLUTE BEST. He was organized, informative, patient, creative, and I know I speak for our entire group when I say that I can't even imagine taking this trip with another guide.Show more

Our guide, Mohammed was incredible. Nothing was a problem for him and he knew everything about his country and the sites that we visited. I experienced so much and learned so much. It was amazing. I will not only remember Egypt forever but I will remember him and his professsionalism, friendliness, ease to deal with and extensive knowledge. After knowing me for no more than 12 hours he lent me his sunglasses as I forgot mine, so I could look at the pyramids and have nice photos with my wife not squinting. He did this unprompted, he offered. He even offered to take me watch a football match with him outside of group activities and group times. This is another experience that I will remember and cherish forever. Mohammed is more than a guide, he is a friend. We were safe and looked after at all times. This is one of the best tour we have been on and we have been on 5 with intrepid now, and I think this is largely due to the quality and expertise of Mohammed. The stops on the trip were perfect, everything was interesting and purely Egypt. We covered all the bases and anything that was not included in the tour, was offered as an option.Show more
