  I was in awe how well this itinerary was organised. Yes it was full on and some long days, but worth every minute. Ramez, our guide was brilliant. His knowledge is extraordinary and it shows that he has a deep love for his country, it's people and it's deep history. Ramez has excellent communication skills, was courteous at all times and easy approachable. Ramez was very aware of his group and our safety was 100% apparent in his approach to all our tours/excursions. He kept us all up to date with any changes by starting a group chat on WhatsApp . This was also a great way for the group to get to know each other. I cannot give enough praise to Ramez. It's not just your destination that makes a great holiday, it's also that special person that introduces their country to you. A huge thank you Ramez.

  Absolutely fantastic! We (two 65+ women) were met on arrival and personally guided throughout the entire tour. Saw all the major sites plus several extras and our guide Ash, was knowledgeable, patient, helpful, professional, and personable. We always felt safe and taken care of. The hotels ranged from nice to very very nice. The Nile cruise was wonderful. We added a few days after the trip to go to Jordan and see Petra. Timeless Tours arranged everything - air travel, transportation, visas, guide, etc. We were nervous about traveling to the Middle East at this time but were impressed by how quickly Timeless Tours responded to email. They were incredibly patient with all our questions and very helpful. This company is fantastic and I would highly recommend them.

  Fabulous tour. The perfect way to explore Egypt safely, seeing all the sites and ancient history Egypt has to offer. From Cairo to Aswan, Luxor and Hurghada. This includes a cruise on the Nile so it really is all in one. AG was a fabulous tour guide. He offered a lot of knowledge and history, which we loved and ensured our stay was comfortable. He went out of his way to address any requests. Thanks AG for the best time! Em and Jake from Australia

  Very good tour all around. Having spent time in Egypt on my own also, I strongly recommend joining a tour, it makes everything so much less stressful. Navigating Egypt can be very challenging, so avoiding certain areas with a private bus makes a big difference. The itinerary is very busy, with long days, but I wouldn't have it any other way as there is so much to see. I felt that we saw all of the most important archeological sites in Egypt (or at least as many as is possible with the time we had). One thing that most of the group felt was that it would be nice to also experience a bit more of the cultural side of Egypt. The tour mostly focuses on archeological things, so you don't really get any time to explore the cities. Our guide, Mina, was absolutely brilliant. He did everything in his power to ensure that everyone's needs were looked after. Mina's knowledge on every location was very thorough. On some tours, local guides are needed to really provide the in-depth detail, but that didn't feel necessary as Mina seemed to know it all himself. His fun sense of humour doesn't go amiss either. Note, the tour also includes a few stops at shops that can feel rather touristy, such as a perfume shop and a genuine papyrus shop. They typically explain how a product is made, and then try to sell you something. I felt that we got something educational out of each stop, but it was clear we were there to spend money. This is pretty common practice, but can be a polarising experience. For me, I would prefer to go to these shops than not, because it's easy to say no to buying anything. The food was good too. It was nice to have buffet meals provided for almost every meal. I think I paid for just one or two meals total. One feedback would be that the packed lunches were a bit plain, a lot of bread. Accommodation was good quality. In fact, the resorts felt a bit wasted on us as we didn't have the time to enjoy the pools etc. Overall, I would strongly recommend this tour, and for anyone considering the alternative Felucca option, I would stick with the cruise. The cruise was a fun experience, and in our case, we managed to experience a felucca ride for about an hour, which is all you need.

  We just came back from this tour last Sunday and if I may say for the price we paid, I think it was a steal! Let me break it down. Our tour guide PETER, was easy to communicate to (instructions and others), honest and firm - he knows what he is talking about. The hotels - some were very very good, one just good. But like what I said, for the price we paid, I think I shouldn't complain. We had buffet breakfast, some lunch and dinner. We had an all inclusive Hurghada stay. Trust me when I say I gained some kilos there. The tour to the temples are organized and timed in a way we won't die from the heat. The only place I didn't enjoy was the Egyptian Museum which doesn't have much to see considering most of the artefacts were being transferred to the new museum and are in Britain, Vienna etc. It made me sad for them really. The transportation was comfortable apart from the van transport from Hurgharda to Cairo which might be due to the long distance sitting/sleeping. We went to an essence shop and the lady there was so pushy. We told her this is what we want but she kept on insisting to get another, then she called a colleague to persuade us further. I didn't enjoy that at all. We stick to what we want but the bargaining process was annoying. If not for my husband who step up for me, I could have just cancelled the entire order. The group was very diverse and we had a good time interacting to everyone. The tipping culture is a mess but that was beyond the organizers powers, so just be aware. Overall, this was a very good tour especially for the price we paid. I was very satisfied. Would recommend and would go again!!

  Mina was the BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER!! It felt like we were on a private tour, almost as if we were family. He showed incredible patience with me and was truly dedicated to making sure we had a fantastic time, no matter the circumstance. I really hope to see you again Mina, you'll always have a place in Portugal whenever you need it. Wishing you all the best, and keep up the amazing work you're doing! Thank you for everything :))
