I had a great time with my family on this wonderful Egypt trip.The tour guide were awsome,they were really friendly.They brought us to many wonderful places,obviously the amazing pyramid,black desert,sahara desert and many more,i can't really remember because it was kinda long ago.The best part was camping on the desert for 1 night,it was so cold at night but it was fun camping on the desert.This trip is one of the best holiday my family and i we ever had.I would totally recommend this tour company to people.Till today we still talk about it.

We had so much fun during our Nile Adventure with Timeless Tours. Our tour guide Michael made sure that itinerary was followed and our needs met. Our expectations of the whole trip were exceeded. We love Egypt!
- Nile Adventure - Felucca cruise
The tour was amazing! We got to see everything that we wanted to see in great timing. Timeless was very accommodating for any requests that we had or anyone else had. Our guide Micheal was very professional, knowledgeable, proficient in English, and a fun guy to talk to. He was helpful in every scenario and made sure we had everything that was needed. He got us where we needed to be and was a pleasure to get to know. (meshi meshi!) We also had 2 short term tour guides named George and Ramsis. Both were fun and great guides to travel with. The itinerary was a little confusing in the beginning but everything was cleared up quite soon. Transportation was fairly good, the only problem was the bus rides seemed to be very cold. The food was nice however most locations offered a high amount of carbs and very little variety of vegetables and protein. The felucca was certainly one of the highlights of the trip besides the staple monuments. But, it was not advertised very well so there were a handful of us who did not know what a felucca was and expected a cruise ship so some decided to upgrade off the felucca. But it turned out to be an amazing experience! The trip overall was fantastic and worth every penny.

"one of the worst tours. we booked a tour to save ourselves time and inconvenience of payments during the trip, throughout this trip we were just spending more. you might think you got a good deal as it’s initially low, we actually went way over our budget for this trip as there were many add ons. The only good thing was that the hotels were really comfortable! The tour guide Mina had exceptional history knowledge but he was very pushy when things didn’t go his way. I feel like we were never given enough time at certain places to walk around and we were constantly taken to stores that were not in the itinerary and that were highly priced (all those could be bought at half the price and less they charged at these stores. All the additional activities this company offered were exceptionally expensive! I paid 60 dollars for the hot air balloon through Viator while the others in the group paid around 145 dollars. We were taken to restaurants where it was highly priced. We were convinced otherwise to do certain things which were only to benefit the company than to help the customers. I would not recommend this tour as it’s more to make money than to satisfy customers and give everyone a good experience of their country! You’re basically paying only for hotels, food and transport, all the activities are not added in this tour so budget carefully.

"Great nile river cruise. Holiday in Egypt was always very helpful and easy to reach throughout our whole stay in Egypt which extended beyond the tour duration. We were on “Le Fayan 2” cruiseship, the room and food was pretty good. The staff was very kind and welcoming. Our tour guide Ahmed was with us the whole time and truely made our tour more enjoyable. Even kept us company and took us on a walk when we weren’t visiting sites on the itinerary.

"I really don’t know where to start because from the very moment I arrived to the very moment I left this was an incredibly brilliant well executed extremely enjoyable educational and one of the best vacations that I’ve ever had in my life. Egypt and the Nile are fabulous places to visit the country is 100% secure the military and the police are very careful the people are beautiful beyond beautiful they are Really in need of others to come to Egypt tourism is down because of the war with Israel and Hamas so for that reason they need more tourists

Discover Nile Valley tours for every budget
You'll find excellent value in the 7-10 day Nile Valley tours that keep costs smart while delivering the key experiences. The popular 7-day option combines the pyramids and museum visits with a 3-night Nile cruise - you get all the main temples without overspending on hotels. Many of our travelers go for the 10-day version that adds time in Hurghada, where all-inclusive resorts make meal planning simple. These tours use solid 4-star hotels in Cairo and Luxor, which fit perfectly after long days exploring. Our customers consistently praise the guides for their deep knowledge and smooth handling of all the daily logistics.
At the premium end, Nile Valley tours stretch 12-14 days and focus on refined service and exclusive experiences. You'll cruise the Nile in spacious 5-star cabins with excellent dining, private docks for temple visits and dedicated Egyptologists who stay with you throughout. Our guests love staying at the Mena House with those pyramid views, and the high-end cruise ships offer everything from spa treatments to Egyptian cooking classes. The tours include special touches like dawn balloon rides over Luxor, private felucca sails at sunset and behind-the-scenes access to active excavations. Many wrap up with time at luxury Red Sea resorts, complete with butler service and top-tier dining options.

Demographics
The Nile Valley solo tours blend smart organization with natural ways to meet fellow travelers. Our felucca sailing trips really work well - you join a small crew for nights under desert stars, cool dips in the Nile and simple shared meals on deck. Many solo guests pick the 9-day routes that mix Cairo's ancient sites with quality river time. Female travelers often tell us they feel secure with professional guides handling logistics while keeping their independence to wander. The cruise options fit nicely too, especially ones offering private cabins plus social spaces where guests connect during cooking classes and lazy afternoons on deck.
Our younger travelers go for active Nile experiences that combine real cultural moments with physical challenges. The felucca sailing gets great feedback - you'll work with crews to navigate traditional boats, sleep on riverside beaches and learn about daily life on the Nile. Many book tours featuring desert camping, camel rides and market visits with local experts. Adding Red Sea time is popular, bringing in scuba, windsurfing and desert quad biking alongside the historical sites. The 7-10 day trips work particularly well, mixing structured temple visits with free afternoons to explore bazaars or relax at rooftop spots in Cairo, Luxor and beyond.
