Wonderful experience - The staff member, Mona, was very responsive and gave us advice before we left for Egypt, and kept in touch with us during the trip. We felt very at ease.
The guides I met in each part of Egypt were all very kind and nice people. In particular, our guide for the 3-day Nile cruise, Mr. Amamed, was very fun and knowledgeable.By participating in VIATOR, I was able to meet people from various countries and have a wonderful experience.

Amazing experience thanks to our guide Ahmed! - Amazing experience thanks to our guide Ahmed. We learned all about Egyptian culture, history, kings and gods reliefs from our guide. He was not only knowledgeble and informative but also speaks perfect English!! We'd definitely request Ahmed Elmahdy if we go to Egypt again!
The tour organizer Mona was also very helpful all through our trip via whatsapp, even before and after our trip.
We'd highly recommend this tour and you'll have unforgettable vacation!

Totally recommended - We started our trip in Cairo, pickup from the airport with Mohamed and he shared some tips and useful information for our stay in Egypt. Next couple of days we spent with Rahim and Farouk in the Pyramids of Giza and Saqqara, and city tour of Cairo. They were very punctual, easy going and very good. They helped us then get the overnight train to Aswan and the Nile cruise started. Very clean hotel, big room, nice food, nice people. Our guide Rocky was 100% available for us and showed us many details in all the temples and sites we visited. He organized well the visits and avoided crowds. He also helped us take the car from Luxor to Hurghada with our driver Amr. Nour was able to accommodate all of our requests and last minute changes, she was great!. Very nice visit in general, totally recommended.
Only point for visits in the sites is that it was a bit express/ short in time.

Amazing experience! - We just had this trip in November 2023. This tour offers the main important attractions in Egypt and it is absolutely fantastic if it is your first time in this country. We started and finished with Cairo where Mohamed,Farouk and Said have assisted us with every movement and visit to the main cultural sites. They have always been punctual, nice and professional. We moved forward with the Nile cruise in Luxor where we met our guide Mohamed Shakour. His passion for his work and his precision make him a super guide for your trip. The cruise was overall anyway really amazing, all clean, everything scheduled and on time, great food and good possibility to relax too. Overall an amazing experience, with everything always managed at distance by Mona. Mona always checks on you giving you schedules, good info and simply ascertaining your status and your current satisfaction. Her presence during our trip has been costant, professional and really useful. Overall a great experience with Here Egypt Tours, I recommend and I would do it again.

A Good experience... - We bought the tour less than a week before...We were guided by good references and the itinerary. The Globe thing is something really different. We had doubts about the train, but they are modern trains and they sell food inside, etc. We thank Monalisa, who was in charge of our trip, she was always attentive to us and if we had any questions or requests, she always helped us. Regarding the guides, they were all very good, and Mona always asked us how it was, in case there were any complaints or anything to improve. Obs interior train lights are on all night... but you may ask for sleeper train update.

Impressive Scenery and Great Tourist Guides - The trip was fine. Tourist guides were informative.One of the guides Tarek Ibrahim was especially helpful and had great knowledgeabout the history. All the drivers were good and we always reached the destination on time. For the trip,all the entrance fees are excluded and you have to pay for the drink for the meal included. In Egypt everything and everywhere needs tips. That means you have to pay quite an extra money for the trip.I would prefer to pay a lump sum. Hotel arranged in Giza was old. The room I stayed for 2 nights had a broken shower that it made me difficult to take a shower.With a small budget I don'texpect to have a luxuryhotel but do believe the room can be better. But still, the pyramids and the Valley of the Kings are really worth visiting.The receptionist, Mona, whatsapped me every day. You feel safe on the journey.

EXPERIENCE IN EGYPT - The Trip was very good and the Hospitality was exceedingly well especially from the Tour Company (OCEANUS Tours), and Bassant in Particular. She was so helpful and always ready to assist.
Also the Waiters at Suny Days El Palacio ( Hurghada) were so amazing. and Bassem in Particular was so hospitably excellent.
