  The trip they had, 20 day tour of Egypt and Morocco, were an absolutely great. Throughout the tours I was amazed, learned so much and met plus talked with some great people in both Morocco and Egypt. Each tour went on without a hitch. The agenda, written and verbal contained a lot of useful information except hotels. My first hotel in Egypt was changed to what appeared to be a lesser quality but adequate informed of this change until the driver pulled up. This caused a headache for the tour I booked the next day which left the drive at the original hotel. He was forced to drive some distance in Casablanca traffic to get to the hotel i was now staying at. Second was information about drivers who picked me up at airports sonetimes weren't disclosed until while in air or at the airport. I also had to call something as to what time I was going to be picked up. Both tour companies were available by text or calls on whatsapt. The other thing that could had been a disaster was i was not informer, any US money had to absolutely flawless because banks don't accept them with even the smallest flaw. And finally Egypt drives and guides always request a tip and get very angry if not tipped. If a person helps you in the slightest way be prepared to dish out tip. Some drivers and tour guide I felt they deserved addition tips but that was my choice. Oh and most of the sites you visit, especially in Egypt, there is an entrance fee. Last but not least, the hotels I was placed in places that were outside of the town and of lower quality at least what i expected but I understood that because some of the sites visited were in a remote area of the country resulting on small town available. If I was to book this tour again, which all in all was an absolutely fantastic tours and I learned so much and met some very intelligent guides. Would I book this tour again I would say absolutely yes but I would be prepared to have additional funds made available from ATMs. I would make sure was prepared for some days without internet. I want to thank this company for great tours with some awesome guides that help to make trips and tours fun. As for tour radar I would suggest they get in touch with the tour companies they use and remind them that most of the world is not as relax as they are and please bring their "A" game when dealing with all customers especially when it comes to a confirmed cost and literary in a time frame of more then 1 week before a trip starts and any extra days spent before and/or after a trip be included in the final price. Please don't expect addition payments for flights unless they included in the final quote. I'm getting ready to book my next family vacation and I would expect or at least hope these issue are not common in Tour radar trips.Show more

  My solo tour experience over all was excellent. I needed to cut my tour short and the Tour Company Ancient Egypt Tours was very understanding. My Agent Salwa was so kind. She helped me with my itinerary and always respond right away when I have questions and needed help with something. When I got to the airport, driver Jusef patiently waited and he also gave me a ride with all the tour. Very helpful and reliable. In the Hotel, OMG Mazaya Pyramids View Inn exceeded my expectations. Beautiful and clean. Breakfast was amazing! I also met Mohammed and Temu in the hotel concierge, both very kind and nice to me. My tour guide George, so knowledgeable of all Pyramids and GEM artifacts. I learned a lot from him. He’s very kind and accommodating as well. I will come back in the future and see more of Egypt. I will recommend this to my family and friends. Thank you for taking care of me when I was there. I had an amazing experience. A once in a lifetime I will treasure forever. Shokran!!!Show more

  Salwa is a very experienced and accomodating tour operator. She was always available, even before we got to the country. We really felt that we were in good hands the entire time and everything we asked her for she delivered on. For those of you who've never been in Egypt, I have some advise. Nothing anyone offers you is free. They will give you a "gift" and then at the end of the day charge you 20 USD or more for something you didn't even want. Guides will drop you off at stores and other places which aren't on the itinerary - these places have a deal with your guide on commission. Not only are the prices outrageous at these places, but they put up the prices from that to include a commission for your guide. This is common practice in Egypt, regardless of which tour company you book with. When you go to places where there is an extra charge for something, pay with cash from your own hand - don't have your guide do it as they will charge you double at the end of the day. Tipping isn't mandatory - despite what you'll read elsewhere. No matter what amount of tip you give, it'll never be enough. In fact, by tipping you just open yourself to be hounded for more. They will usually not take a tip with gratitude, they will think you have too much money and can part with more easily enough. Of course, tip as you see fit but you are not required to. When the guide picks you up at the beginning of the day, have them go over the itinerary as they see it. You have the power to say yes to things and no to things. If the guide takes you somewhere you don't want to go, just tell them to move on to the next place. Better yet, every time you get in the car have the guide run the next destination past you and only start going once you agree. If the guide doesn't listen, call Salwa and she will sort you out. That being said, we had the sweatest driver you'd want. Even when we were arguing with the tour guide, he always took our side. Abdu (the driver) was one of the most essential people to us having a good time, who went above and beyond every single day. He spoke very little English, but we communicated well enough through Google translator and we always felt safe in his car and when he was around. Quiet, stable, kind, and just the person you'd want around while navigating a new country.Show more
