Great Egypt history on a budget
We enjoyed the trip a lot. Slower than some of the other Expat trips because of the extreme heat. Very nice history and guides that help you to understand everything

Fantastic time
Absolutely rate this tour for covering Egypt. Our tour guide Ramez was fantastic, not only very knowledgeable but everything organised without a hiccup. It would be difficult to see all these sites of Egypt / navigate Egypt without a tour.

Astonishing experience
The tour was great, the perfect balance between sight seeing and relaxing. Plenty of optional activities if you want to explore more - we visited the temple of Abu Simbel with a 2.30 am wake up but it was worth seeing the sun rising at the temple. We were picked up at the airport when we arrived and always felt taken care of. The Egyptologist Ramses went above and beyond, he knew everything about Egypt and all the different dynasties. He also ensured we were informed and not taken advantage by the local, he informed us what the price of things were and gave us tips on how to bargain. We always felt safe with a security guard traveling with us most of the times. Truly remarkable experience!

Informative and amazing experience.
Great itinerary visiting a lot of bucket list places on a very well organised tour. The tour guide (Ramez) was, amazingly knowledgeable and brought the history alive with his enthusiasm. He also was organised, friendly and clearly wanted us all to have a great experience in his country. It was a good idea that we started early on tours, both to avoid the extreme heat, lots of other tourists, and traffic too. We both enjoyed the tour and learnt so much..
