Relax and let Egypt BestTours take care of everything! - We are so glad web booked our dream trip to Egypt with Egypt Best Tours! Very impressed, from the beginning, with our travel consultant Hazem , who was knowledgeable, professional, and patient with all my questions. he explained everything in detail and provided all needed information so we would know what to expect.
We really lucked out with amazing tour guides! Our first of two guides was Hussein, who was so wise, friendly and fun! We learned so much and really enjoyed spending time with him for our Cairo/Giza sightseeing. Restaurant choices were great, too… we are still dreaming about the amazing food! Our second guide once we got to Aswan to begin our Nile Cruise at movenpick Nile Cruise portion of the trip was Ahmed , and we really enjoyed our time with him as well! He was attentive and kind, making sure to check on us after one person in our group was temporarily ill. We were impressed with both guides’ abilities to juggle multiple people’s needs and keeping us all on schedule so we could be sure to spend quality time in each scheduled location. And their enthusiasm and knowledge of Egyptian history really shined through; they obviously love their job!
Highly recommend requesting these guides if possible and highly recommend using Egypt Best Tours when traveling to Egypt. We were able to just relax and enjoy ourselves bc they took care of everything!

The best trip I have ever taken - 5 out of 5 stars for sure!!!! This was the best trip I have ever been on. Every part of the trip was amazing. Everyone was extremely helpful. We went on a a cruise and there are many cruise ships we saw and they booked us with the best cruise lines and every thing we wanted to do they were able to accommodate. They went above and beyond. I have used many travel companies in the past, none of them compare to how we were treated here. From the min I book with them they made me feel comfortable and I felt that every step of the way was special and they went out of their way to make me feel that way. Ballon rides, cruise, camel rides, every guide we had was professional and knowledgeable and made every temple and site come to life for us. I have already recommended to friends at home and plan on coming back next year with more of my family. Use this company 100%. I promise you won’t be disappointed. EGYPT BEST TOURS is the BEST.

Amazing tour agency and service - Hazem at Egypt best tours did agreat job of accommodating our needs and providing what we were looking for. He organised all private tour guides in Egypt and Aswan along our stops on the River Nile, and he personally took excellent care of us in luxor. Hazem speaks perfect English and his vast knowledge of Egyptian history is impressive. We enjoyed our time with him and the other tour guides very much. They all were very trustworthy , safe drivers and took excellent care of us. We will contact them again when we return to Egypt
