Reviews About This Operator

  • Peter
    · January 2nd, 2025
    The Legends of Egypt Tour by Planet tours exceeded out expectations. Their coordinator Omar looked after us through every pickup and transfer with high quality assitants, vehicles and drivers navigating us through the airports and complex traffic. The quality of accommodation thoughout was also very high. However the knowledge of their Egyptologists made it the right trip for us. In Cairo we worked with Mena and throughout the rest of the trip we worked with Midhat. Both were not mere guides but souces of knowledge not avialable without years of training. We cannot recommend Planet Tours highly enough for any serious history buffs. Let them look after you like they did us. (Do be prepared for some early starts. There is alot to fit into the time avaialable)

    The trip went exactly as planned. With a very busy schedule, logistics are complicated, yet a Planet tour agent was present at every stage. Simple, precise and efficient. A huge thank you to our guide from Luxor to Aswan, Mostafa Morid. Mostafa is an extraordinary guide who loves his job, doesn't count his time and loves to pass on his knowledge of Egyptian history. If this trip was more than top-notch, it's largely thanks to Mostafa.

      In general the hotels do not have rooms big enough for 4 people + an infant but we can check

    • Planet ToursOperatorWritten July 2025

      Unfortunately due to Egyptian law there are travel restrictions on Palestinian and Syrian nationals in place since January this year we cannot accept any bookings from guests from these countries. Please check with your local Egyptian Embassy for verification of travel documents as this is important to avoid inconviences to your passengers

    Asked on June 10th, 2025

    What is the name of the hotel? Is it possible to book tours only? The client prefers a 3 bedroom or higher apartment with a view of the Nile.

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Planet ToursOperatorWritten June 2025

      the name of the Hotel is Barcelo Pyramids. If the guests requires something in downtown Cairo then they would have to chose a higher category of hotel as hotels with Nile view are either 5 star or 5 star luxury hotels, and obviously Nile view is more expensive. Unfortunately we cannot run just the excursions and we do not deal with apartments in private buildings.

      Great for the 2 years old they don't have to pay correct? What is the policy for the 10 years old?

    • Planet ToursOperatorWritten June 2025

      for a child under 2 years old there is no charge as long as they share the bed with their parents. a child of 10 years old pays 50%
