I can’t say enough good things… - For starters, Madeline is exceptional. Everything from communication to itinerary was perfect. All my guides and drivers also top notch! With my favorites being Ahmed, Ashraf, & Kerolos. This was a solo trip and I had issues with my phone but I never felt alone or worried about anything. I plan to revisit next year with my kids and will without a doubt use Holiday in Egypt. This was the trip of a lifetime and it wouldn’t have been possible without them! Everyone was very kind and patient. My cruise was also a good time and had good food. I rate my entire experience 10/10, 5 stars, A+! Thank you everyone!

An unforgettable experience - I just finished the 7 day Queen cleopatra experience with holiday in Egypt. I had a wonderful time traveling with this company. Going into the trip I was slightly unsure about the safety of traveling in Egypt as a young woman alone, but my fears were entirely unfounded. For the duration of my trip they were there for me at all times to make sure everything about my stay was going smoothly and I can genuinely say that at no point did I feel unsafe or stressed about anything, knowing they were taking care of everything I needed. Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan are all incredible cities and I saw some of the most incredible sights of my life. My guide for Cairo, Sohaila, was incredible and so knowledgeable about everything we saw as well as passionate about the subjects she spoke on. Our guide for the other part of the trip, Ahmed, was absolutely wonderful too. He consistently went above and beyond anything I would expect from a guide to make sure that each one of us on the tour had an absolutely seamless experience. If you do choose to book with holiday in Egypt, I hope you have him as well because I can promise your time with be amazing. From organizing trips and transportation to educating us on the wonders of ancient Egypt he truly exceeded my every expectation. As an organization I would also say that Holiday in Egypt certainly made an impression on me. They were easy to reach, and also very proactive when it came to checking in to make sure my experience was going well, and to arrange things like transportation to and from the airport or to the hotel. In particular I want to mention Tahmer, who was the person I was in contact with from holiday in Egypt, for everything he did and for making sure I got everywhere I needed to go safely and on time. He took care of everything, so I didn’t have to! If you’re thinking about booking your trip to Egypt I hope you consider booking through them, I promise you wont regret it.

Excellent trip - I usually avoid guided tours but thought it is a good idea for touring Egypt. I emailed several companies based in Egypt, and Holiday in Egypt provided the most punctual and professional communication. Madeline handled our booking, and she was readily available for discussions. She provided all necessary information to plan our trip. She was flexible to build up an itinerary that best suited our requirements as well. We had private tours with our own driver, guide and van. Drivers were punctual and everything happened on time without delays. Guides were very good as well, specially Ehab in Cairo and Ahmad in Luxor. Madeline got us on board an awesome cruise as well. We were on board MS Rennaisance which has been recently refurbished. I wouldn't give anything less than 5 stars for the services of Madeline and Holiday in Egypt. They can be trusted and they deliver what they promise.

Great stay! - A 12-day stay in full board (excluding drinks) with 3 days in Cairo and the rest on a Nile cruise. We went through the Air France Collection, in fact the agency is Perfectstay and on site their correspondent Travel tours. Unforgettable and uneventful stay. The trip was entitled The Nubian Pearls. Guides to the top especially Ahmed we had for the whole Cruise. He was very caring for us. great meals, except for lunch in Cairo, much worse. Another downside, not enough time at the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, but well we understand that not everyone has an intense passion for this subject. No security concerns, a plainclothes but armed policeman accompanied us throughout the trip. We benefited from his accompaniment during a getaway without the group in the souks. Correction, we were there in April 2023, price 150€ per person, Air France flight.

Week in Egypt - Madeline was excellent at organizing our week in Egypt. She was always available to communicate with. She found excellent drivers and guides. She helped with any requests we had. The cruise was very good and the crew was very friendly. The train ride is long and train station can be difficult to navigate for a foreigner but you save by having the over night train instead of flying and staying at a hotel. The food was good the entire trip and we never had any problems feeling hungry or thirsty. It is recommended to convert some currency into Egyptian money.

The best way to see Egypt is with Holiday in Egypt Travels - After a number of holidays to Egypt (15 trips), this was by far the best one we have EVER done. From the beginning of our trip to the end , Madeline created a tour that was professional and perfect. Our holiday was planned 6 months prior to our departure and Madeline made sure that every detail was taken of. Whilst I was in Sydney planning everything 5 months before, Madeline was always available for any questions - despite the time difference between Cairo and Sydney. Madeline never failed to answer all our questions and no request was too difficult. Anything we requested, Madeline managed to accommodate and was more than happy to include into our trip. All her recommendations were spot on, including the boat we selected for our Aswan to Luxor cruise. We were a family of 8 adults and our itinerary required a lot of detail. It was all taken care of with ease. From drivers to tour guides, the whole team at Holiday in Egypt travels were all professional, warm and welcoming. I have recommended Madeline and her company to all our family and friends.
