Luxor to Aswan - We had a great time with our guide, Khaled. He is very experienced & incredibly knowledgeable. He brought us to key features of the temples and tombs on our tour. He provided insights about ancient Egyptian history, culture, religion, architecture, language, art, politics and more. He always worked to accommodate us, and provide us with the best tour possible. Thank you for an unforgettable experience, Khaled!

Amazing and memorable experience - We got to visit so many temples and had wonderfully experienced, friendly and knowledgeable tour guides to help us understand the significance and history of each temple with Khaled.

Egypt River Nile - We had a great time in Egypt! People were very friendly and the sites were incredible. We learned a lot of history. We did book a hot air balloon ride that got canceled due to the weather. We informed our tour guide, Khaled about this and said we would get a refund. We went to some other sites instead. Highly recommended!

Dream realization - It was a wonderful experience, we went on a family excursion, with a Portuguese-speaking guide accompanying us at all times, always on time to pick us up at our hotels. There were several cool moments, having lunch in a restaurant with a view of the pyramids or sitting on a sun lounger sailing on the Nile River. All the guides were wonderful, especially Saeed, he made our trip through Cairo even better.

This company provides top notch experiences and care - This company took good care of me. I got canceled from my booked tour from another company the night before arriving in Egypt (no kidding), and Peter made it his personal mission to make sure I had a tour when I arrived the next day. Sure enough, my driver was waiting. They had to be creative on how to blend me into another group with no notice, but they did it, and I never missed a thing on my trip. Then, unfortunately, I got Traveler's Trots REALLY bad and had to stay on the River Nile Cruise sleeping in my room (which is lovely), so I missed seeing a few temples. My guide then, Tata, went and got me some medicine that worked wonders, and also super fast. My doctor at home said it was the right thing to do for me, so I was lucky to have this help. I couldn't believe the difference, because it saved the last few days of my trip, and that was in Luxor that you don't want to miss! All around, I was super taken care of. So just because it says Egypt on a Budget don't equate that with lower class experiences because everything is top notch. Book with confidence, these people are great.

Travelling through Egypt - We did a lot of nice activities such as riding a camel and sleeping in the white desert. The temples are wonderful and they have a beautiful culture and history. The guides also know what they are talking about and are very passionate about their country.

Great time in Egypt - The ancient monuments are amazing! Everybody can look at photos, but it is only when you see it in real life you can truely marvel at it! How did the people of the past build all of this (knowing that also a BIG part is missing) ?! The guide will tell you that this would not be possible today. Well, it is ... but nobody will try this today with primitive tools. The people of the past did have a different mindset, try to understand the mind of the ancient Egyptians. Some tips: prepare for the heat, don't pay attention to those who are trying to sell things to you, and things can be a bit more expensive than you think (but you're making a trip like this only once!).

Relaxing - When you're ok with paying for 'extras' during the trip, it's nice. Travelling with a larger group, it could add up... Guide knows what he's talking about and is crazy about his culture.

Take the cruise, skip the train - Our guide was knowledgeable, helpful and patient. The tours were well-planned and informative. The boat offered every convenience you’d expect in a first class hotel with a friendly and attentive staff However, I’d suggest finding transportation to and from the cruise portion of the trip rather than taking the train. While efficient, the cars are filthy and not in good shape. Nearly every window is cracked or broken, carpeting is stained and torn, many berth lights do not work, the food is okay at best, the WCs are disgusting. Not the best way to start or end the otherwise pleasurable trip.
