Planet ToursOperator•Written April 2025Our tours are usually a maximum of 10 people. If you were a minimum of 6 people, there would be no extra charge to privatize the tour.
- Planet ToursOperator•Written April 2025
We have updated the tours with departures for 2026, and they should both be showing on the Tour Radar page. We have made some changes to the Footprints tour and have already added in the Gem Museum.

Asked on November 6th, 2024How can I check into my hotel upon arrival if I arrive early?

Hayley
Asked on September 11th, 2024Id like to know when can I arrive before the tour. I see some flights arrive in Cairo at 2 am. How do we get to the hotel
- Planet ToursOperator•Written September 2024
We will pick you up in the airport and take you to the hotel, that is already included in the tour price and we will do that regardless of your time of arrival. What you should consider though is the check in time in the hotel, if you are going to arrive around 200 AM the official check in time in the hotel is after 14:00 (2 pm) so this means that you would have to wait a long time to get your room. The alternative to waiting is to pay for an extra night and this would mean your room would be available for you as soon as you arrive. The cost of an extra night in the same hotel as the tour with breakfast and taxes included would be 190 USD, this is the total price for 2 people.

Michelle
Asked on July 28th, 2024Wondering if the trip to Abu Simbel is by coach bus or is it a flight? If it's by coach bus, how long is the drive to Abu Simbel.
- Planet ToursOperator•Written July 2024
The included excursion to Abu Simbel is by land and it takes around 3 hours to get from Aswan to Lake Nasser where the Temples are. The tour normally starts at 330 am and get back to the boat by around midday. If you would rather do the excursion by air we can add the supplement for the flights. The average cost of adding the supplement for the flight is around 350 -410 usd (American dollars)per persons depending on the available seats on the flight.

Asked on May 29th, 2024How much should I tip guides and drivers during the tour?
- Planet ToursOperator•Written May 2024
Tipping is discretionary; you can choose to tip small amounts to bellboys and drivers, with higher tips to guides depending on the service received.
