Marca Tours have been an aboslute pleasure! - After booking this trip on Tripadvisor, we decided to do our whole holiday (Cairo, Train Cairo-Aswan, Boat Aswan-Luxor, Private Taxi Luxor-Marsa Alam, Private Taxi Marsa Alam-Hurghada) with Marca Tours. And we couldn't be more happy with it. The whole trip was perfectly organised from A-Z, from arrival at the airport, to all the transfers inbetween. Egypt is quite a chaotic, sometimes unclear country and we might have been able to do this ourselves but it would have never been so smooth and easy as it was now. Kareem picked us up in the airport and showed us around Cairo, and sat with us at the train station for 2 hours, to put us in the right place in the sleeper train. Fun conversations, nice to get to know more about the country and how the people live here. Highlight of the trip was the boat from Aswan-Luxor with Ahmed. On a tour like this, the guide really can make or break the experience, and Ahmed absolutely made it. We were sad to leave him behind in Luxor, but happy that we got to know him a bit. He tailorfit the trip completely to our needs, included all kinds of nice walks on local markets and local coffee houses. This man loves his job and his job is to make you love Egypt, something you will. Can absolutely recommend going for Marca Tours!

Marca tours did an amazing job with our trip. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great travel agency! - Marca tours did an amazing job with our trip. They were always present and available all the time, caring for the small things and trying their best to make us feel welcome. The first thing we look in an agency is being trustworthy, specially in a country where we don’t know anything. Marca tours always showed us this side since the very beginning. We will certainly be using them again and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great travel agency!

Unforgettable!!! - We travel through MarcaTours. Without them we would never have this incredible experience! We went on the A Sara cruise. Food varied and always good. We want to highlight our guide Ahmed! An exceptional person, with a lot of knowledge, patience and a sense of humor! We learned a lot from him about ancient Egypt and he made us want to know more and more. From the follow-up to the cruise logo and visits to the various temples, it was perfect! We felt like we were never alone and anything we needed we could count on them. An experience that will forever be etched in our lives! Thank you very much to the whole team and our guide Ahmed!

Unforgettable 03 days in Cairo - I would first like to thank Mahmoud responsible for the MARCA TOURS Tourism Agency for all the service provided since our arrival. A personalized tourist program of 03 days was made, meeting all our needs and most importantly with a fair price charged. I would also like to thank our Tour Guide Mohamed who accompanied us for these unforgettable 03 days and showed us with great excellence all the history of the main tourist spots we visited, always punctual, patient, flexible and most importantly, always with a smile on his face . Many thanks to the entire team at Marca Tours for all the service provided.

BEST tour guide on otherwise average cruise - Tour Guide/Site Seeing: AMAZING!!! Our personal tour guide/Egyptologist Melad (Noel) was the best part of our trip. He was very flexible, made arrangements for us to get tickets early so we wouldn’t have to wait in ticket lines, allowed us to add on alternate sites, provided honest guidance (not all guides do), and could not have been nicer. If I could separate the tour guide and site seeing I would give him a 5+++. He really was incredible and knowledgeable. We got a true personal touch and his services exceeded my expectations. He was also very helpful in letting us know when it was customary to tip and when not to and how much was appropriate. It can get a bit crazy between the drivers, guides at some sites and ship employees. CRUISE SHIP - NOT 5-star: As for the cruise… I give an overall rating of 4-stars only because the cruise itself isn’t what I’d call 5-star. It’s more like a 3. The rooms were nice and comfortable but the food was average at best, the sun deck had fake grass (not even as good as artificial turf), the pool was tiny, and the so-called spa was a bit shady with basically two massage tables, a 2-person whirlpool tub (aka hot tub), and tiny sauna in a room with temporary dividers outside the dining room. We also had a bad experience with the masseuse who I only learned after we left was inappropriate with my daughter as she is on the autism spectrum and didn’t understand what was acceptable. Overall that left a bad taste.
