  There were many people who helped us, but Miriam and Ramez were both incredibly caring and patient to all of our needs. They handled everything very well, and try their best to address any situations that came up. It seemed like Timeless Tours really supported us having a good experience even at a cost to them. There were some moments that were outside their control, misspelled airline ticket, felucca breaking in the middle of the Nile, bus breakdown, etc. But these two guides were on top of everything and did really great job handling it properly and professionally. They apologized when things went wrong, and offered to make up for it (buy replacements) if they couldn't. This isn't a tour for those who dont like to rough it or who need to be "taken care of" constantly. I felt safe, was given so much good advice from the guides on what not to do and such, and I had a really fun time. I do recommend going in the winter months as when I went in August it was KILLER heat. Advice: this is a cash economy and since many things aren't included such as meals and drinks, bring more than you think! Cons: the heat. It was hot! Sometimes we had to listen to the guides in the heat and sunlight which was uncomfortable for many. Accommodations were budget, and given the cost of this tour expected. Good but not great. Food was great not luxury but good! Buses and Van's were fine.

  Ramez was phenomenal! He was concise, very well spoken, and lead the group at a good pace through the hot sites. There were some moments and things that happened outside this tours control, which he handled with professionalism. One girl didn't have a ticket in her correct name and he was able to get her on the flight (after much stress and calls on his end). Our felucca boat crashed and sail broke and we lost our shoes but he handled it amazingly. Even got most of our shoes back from the Nile! I really enjoy his patience and he handled all the situations with great care.

  Travelled in March 2018 and did the 10 day tour with a night on the Felucca (which yes is a small boat, but one of my favourite nights I've had in my many travels). Would for sure recommend doing the added on trip to Abu Simbel and the hot air balloon ride (neither take away time from other activities planned in the itinerary). Always felt safe my whole trip while with the group and our tour leaders. Michael was an amazing and knowledgeable guide. He has so much information about everything in Egypt. If you want to buy something, ask Michael how much you think you should pay before seeing the vender, was useful to know if they were trying to rip you off bad. Definitely upgrade from the overnight bus to flight and hotel if you can, well worth it. Bring along snacks and buy some along the way when you can, as they don't often stop for an actual lunch and the breakfast boxes are mostly unknown meat and cheese sandwiches. The last couple days at the all inclusive were perfect. The resort was really nice and was a great way to end a busy trip by relaxing and drinking. Would highly recommend booking with this company!

  Did this tour in March and it was absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend this company. Did the 10 day tour with the night on the felucca (which yes is a small boat, but one of my favourite nights I've had while travelling). Never felt unsafe at all while with this tour company. Food was okay, I would buy and bring snacks when you can as lunch does not seem to be a high priority and the breakfast boxes are mostly buns and lunch meats. Would highly recommend doing Abu Simbel as well as the hot air balloon (neither of these takes time away from anything else). Michael was great and super knowledgeable on everything we did and saw. As a female, I wore tank tops and shorts (as it was hot), and sure there was some unneeded attention sometimes, but never felt harassed. The all inclusive resort at the end was a great way to end the trip as well. Great resort! The rest of the accommodations were average, but did not really matter as they were mostly just places to sleep and shower and you were not there long. Overall, amazing time and trip!

  This was one of the best experiences of my life and definitely made me eager to continue traveling. Shady aka “shiko” is an amazing tour guide and gave me detailed explanations for my (many!) questions regarding the sites we visited and Egyptian history in general. He made the trip so engaging, interesting, and overall an incredible experience. If you’re thinking or doubting about coming, you should definitely step out of your comfort zone and come! I promise it will be worth it!

  The best tour I have ever been on! Shady was an excellent guide- always full of energy, eager to answer all of our questions, was extremely knowledgeable about all the sites we visited and Egyptian history in general and always made sure we arrived to destinations safely and comfortable. Not only that, but he was incredibly engaging with us as a group and always made sure we were having a good time. I was also pleasantly surprised with how nice all of our accomodation was- this tour exceeded my expectations in every way! Egypt is absolutely beautiful. In this tour you see so many incredible sights and have the opportunity to learn about one of the most advanced ancient civilizations. If you have any doubts about going, just do it! I promise you will not regret it!

  Possibly the best experience of my life. Egypt is an amazing country and very safe to travel in the hands of timeless tours. Shady was an excellent tour guide very accomodating and highly educated. Make sure you do the felluca! Will be treasuring my photos. Our group Aswan was the best!

  Michael knew what he was talking about. Learned a lot from him. He also tried to accommodate mostly everyone's needs. The tour group in general was great because I made 10 new friendships by the end of it. I also feel like I saw a lot of Egypt in those 10 days. This tour is not for someone who wants a slow pace and wants 8 hours of sleep per night. This is a tour for someone who is okay with getting up at 3am to start their tours.
