Travel with Friends, History, and Laughter - I joined this Egypt tour with four of my best friends from high school. We hadn’t traveled together in years, and we wanted something special—and this package delivered just that. From the moment we landed in Cairo, the experience was seamless. The hotel near Giza was well-maintained and gave us that perfect “we’re in Egypt!” feeling. Seeing the pyramids in person was overwhelming in the best way. Our guide was funny and informative, making the Giza tour super interactive. After a filling lunch, we boarded the overnight train to Luxor. It felt like an adventure right from a movie. We laughed, played cards, and settled in for the ride. The cruise ship—Steigenberger Legacy—was amazing. The staff were so friendly, and every meal was a feast. We explored Luxor’s east and west banks, got lost in the stories of Kom Ombo, and marveled at the Temple of Horus in Edfu. Our guide made each temple feel like a living museum. Onboard, the afternoons were our favorite part—tea, cake, and good conversation while watching the Nile. We met other travelers, shared stories, and even danced during one of the evening events on deck. Everything was arranged beautifully, from meals to entry tickets, which made our trip stress-free. Bottled water during the tours was essential, and we never felt dehydrated in the desert sun. This was the trip of a lifetime with the people I care about most. Egypt was stunning, the cruise was luxurious, and the memories we made will be talked about for years.

Once-in-a-Lifetime Family Experience - Traveling with kids can be tricky, but this Egypt tour was so well organized, it felt easy from start to finish. Our family of four (two adults and two teens) started the adventure in Cairo. We stayed near the Giza Pyramids, and waking up to that view was unforgettable. The guide was excellent with the kids, making the pyramids and the Sphinx fun and educational. After a delicious included lunch, we boarded the night train to Luxor. It was a unique experience for the kids, and they actually enjoyed it! The cruise ship was stunning—everything was spotless, the food was fresh and delicious, and the crew treated us like VIPs. Each day brought a new site: Karnak, Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and finally Aswan. The temples fascinated the kids, especially hearing stories about the gods and pharaohs. The onboard cake and tea in the afternoons were a big hit, and the whole cruise felt relaxing and smooth. We appreciated the bottled water during tours and the stress-free transportation. It’s not always easy to travel as a family, but this tour company made it feel effortless. Everything was included, from meals to entrance tickets, which meant we could focus on having fun and learning together. This trip created lasting memories for us all. Our teens still talk about it! For families looking for a mix of adventure, education, and relaxation, this tour checks every box.

Educational, Relaxing, and Completely Worth It - I went on this Egypt tour with two of my college buddies, and we all agreed—it was the best travel experience we’ve ever had. We started in Cairo, where we stayed at the Tuya Pyramids Inn. It was cozy, and the staff were welcoming. From there, we explored the Giza Pyramids and the mighty Sphinx with a knowledgeable guide who made us appreciate the immense scale of these wonders. The lunch included that day was fantastic—we had traditional Egyptian dishes that were both flavorful and filling. Then came the night train to Luxor, which was surprisingly comfortable and gave us a chance to relax after a packed day. The cruise portion was top-notch. We stayed on the Steigenberger Legacy and felt like we were on a floating hotel. Every day we disembarked to explore a new temple or site—Luxor’s Karnak Temple, Edfu’s Temple of Horus, and Kom Ombo’s dual temple were standouts. Our guide kept us engaged with stories and details that helped us truly understand what we were seeing. On board, we enjoyed breakfast juice and coffee, and afternoon tea with cake, which felt like a classy touch. The cruise moved slowly, giving us time to soak in the scenery along the Nile—lush greenery, desert hills, and life on the riverbanks. This trip is ideal for those who want history, culture, and relaxation all rolled into one. We had great Wi-Fi at the hotel, water during every tour, and never felt rushed. I’m so glad we picked this tour package. It’s not just a trip—it’s an immersive journey into the ancient world.

Journey Through Ancient Wonders - If you're dreaming of walking through the pages of history, this Egypt tour is exactly what you need. From the moment I arrived in Cairo, everything was well-organized. The stay at the Giza hotel gave us a direct view of the pyramids—it was surreal waking up and seeing them outside my window! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable, giving depth and context to the pyramids, Sphinx, and temples we visited. The lunch after the pyramids tour was delicious and filling. The night train ride to Luxor was more comfortable than I expected, and waking up in a new city ready to explore was exciting. The cruise ship (we were on the Steigenberger Legacy) was the real highlight. The room was luxurious, meals were plentiful and varied, and the staff made us feel like royalty. Each stop—Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and finally Aswan—was more magical than the last. I loved how each temple had its own story, and the cruise guide made it all come alive. We had afternoon tea and cake as the ship sailed along the Nile, which made for a peaceful and memorable experience. The logistics were smooth, drivers professional, and the bottle water during tours was a thoughtful touch. The pace was perfect—not rushed, but never dull. As someone who usually travels solo, I was a bit nervous, but this trip made it easy to meet people and feel secure. I left Egypt not just with photos, but with a deep appreciation for its ancient culture. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a balanced mix of relaxation and discovery.

Experience old and new Cairo that you’ll forever remember - A memory that will last a lifetime. Every detail put into this trip made it go efficiently. We visited so many temples. The Nile cruise ship that was booked for us was spectacular. The hotel was great. Based on previous reviews, we decided to take the airplane from Cairo to Luxor and Aswan back to Cairo. My most favorite memory was honestly going for a cup of coffee in the market and getting to know the REAL Cairo. Ali was the kindest soul. However, Dr. Gaber became family to us. We were so sad to say goodbye to him. He is so knowledgeable and an archaeologist. He is so kind and accepting. He truly wants you to learn but also is willing to have you experience the Cairo that will stay in your heart forever. Incredibly kind and funny drivers. Everyone was respectful. Food was amazing too. Thank you Hassan for a well thought out trip and the people you hire to work with you.

The time of one’s life - We are very happy we have chosen to follow the advice and planning of this agency. We got to see many things we would have never by ourselves. The ship they selected was beautiful and created a marvellous atmosphere. We got to make some new friends. The only black spot is the amount of time you can dedicate to each of the wonders you see. Having so much to do, sometimes you end up with just a very general idea of the sites you are visiting. Anyways, I would recommend this to anyone, specifically to those who go to Egypt for the first time and need someone to guide them step by step, without any worries about arrangements.

Heart of Egypt Cairo and Nile cruise - Just completed my Egypt tor planned and executed perfectly by Hassan. His experience of over 20 years is evident in his handling of small details and accommodating my needs. He has extensive knowledge of the Temples at Luxor, Karnak and Abu Simbel. Kept track of any changes by the cruise or airlines and made sure I had the transport and hotel. Feel fortunate to have Dr. Gaber fir the Cairo tours. He worked in teams with Dr. Hawasi, who is the top authority on pyramids! Dr. Gaber shared his deep knowledge of the Giza and Saqqara pyramids and Temples. Will try to bring my family here for my second trip to be taken care by Hassan and his team. I highly recommend Hassan to any one who is looking for a real understanding of the ancient Egyptian civilization! Pradeep Polavarapu

A beautiful family experience. - We traveled as a family and it was everything we expected! The places we visited were beautiful, although Cairo is a bit chaotic and crowded, but we still enjoyed it a lot. Our guide in Cairo was Dr Gaber and was very friendly and patient with us. He accompanied us and explained everything we needed to know. The cruise was perfect, Hassan was our Guide there and was watching every detail, even helping us recover a suitcase that the airline lost us, but in the end and after much insistence and your help we were able to recover it. Fully recommended!!!
