I cannot be more grateful for this experience and all the people that made this happened... from day one until the very last minute Bassant from Here Egypt Tours was on top of everything, making the arrangements and following up everything went well, I truly appreciated it. The Giza tour was amazing (just be aware if the guide wants to make last minute changes). Internal flights were ok, without any problems and same for all transfers to hotels and tours, there were always someone identified waiting for us. The Nile River Cruise, was simply amazing, from the personnel to the food, everything was perfect, we were there for our anniversary and they were kind to celebrate us. The tour guide on the boat Nasser "the singer" was great, really nice personality and really knowledgeable. I cannot recommend this package enough, trust me you'll not regret it, Egypt has a lot of beautiful landmarks that this tour package will help you see them at a good pace, feeling safe and actually learning from the whole experience.

The tour itself was a perfect blend of historical and cultural sites, giving us a well-rounded view of Egypt. From the majestic Pyramids of Giza to the stunning temples of Luxor, every stop on our tour was a unique and memorable experience. We also got to explore the bustling streets of Cairo and immerse ourselves in the local culture, thanks to the guidance of our knowledgeable guides.

One of the highlights of the trip was the well-planned itinerary put together by our tour organizer, Nour. She did a fantastic job of including all the must-see places in Egypt while also being flexible enough to accommodate any changes or requests we had. This made the trip even more enjoyable as we were able to see and experience everything we wanted to without feeling rushed or stressed.

"On the second day of our tour, we visited the castles, mosques, synagogues, and churches in Egypt. Exploring these landmarks, our guide Mahmoud's profound knowledge and captivating storytelling made everything come alive as if he was living within them. Nothing to say except he is perfect guide. Not only our guide but also our driver Michael, who accompanied us throughout the tour, added an extra charm to our day. He safely transported us to and from all locations with his tolerant and constantly smiling face."

We booked this package last minute (literally the day before our flights) and were quite unsure of how this trip was going to go, but to our luck everything turned out fantastic. As soon as I booked on Viator, Bassant from Here Egypt reached out on Whatsapp to coordinate our travels and internal flights. Bassant was also our main point of contact and checked in with us everyday while we traveled. This package is handled by multiple operators under the parent company Here Egypt, but everyone reached out via whatsapp to make sure all segments of the trip were carried forward in timely manner. And, we did get to do everything listed here in the package. Airport transfers in Cairo and cairo tour was taken care off by Mohmamed and his wonderful team, Rahim (safe and awesome driver) and Dr. Farouk (extremely knowledgeable and very professional tour guide). Our Trip itinerary was slightly changed due to last minute availability so we did the cruise from Luxor to Aswan instead of the other way around. But the Luxor team organizer Star was on top of everything. We also had a tour guide Mohammed who accompanied us on the Nile Cruise. He was very passionate about Egyptian history and thoroughly shared his knowledge. Our Nile cruise was called M.S. Zeina. Similar to other reviews I have read about their cruises this one was a bit dated, but it had such wonderful staff. The cruise wasn’t as full and we were upgraded to a suite, which was quite roomy. We had dietary restrictions and chef Ahmed and his team took good care of our needs. Mustafa, our room service personnel and other staff on board were all very hardworking and made sure we got good service. Overall we loved our travels to Egypt. The people were very warm and friendly, the Pyramids are amazing to explore. If you get a chance and have the time I would highly recommend adding Saqqara, Memphis and Dahsur as a day trip from Cairo. For the ease we booked it directly through Here Egypt, and it was totally worth it. The 3 pyramids at Giza are amazing, but the if you want to learn about the history of first and oldest pyramids, those sites are a must in my opinion. Some other useful travel tips if you chose this package: Download Whatsapp. The itinerary here from Viator is all you will have in written form. All other communication happens via whatsapp there. Initially I was a bit nervous as to who was going to pick us up etc…but they reach out to you on their own, and answer all the queries!!! Just make sure to ask if you have any doubts/questions so you don’t feel lost. Accommodation says 4 star for Cairo and the hotel we got (Pyramid Oasis) was listed as 4 star online somewhere as well, but it is not. Expect 2.5-3 star. The staff was nice so it went smoothly for us for the 3 nights we stayed there. Their restaurant was quite expensive compared to the food from local places, so if you have a chance eat out. Another thing we learned is that most Nile cruises are listed as 5star. Don’t fall for the 5 star term and expect luxury. They are actually tiered into Deluxe and Luxury. In this package you will get Deluxe which is a 3-3.5 star. You will see nicer cruises that are actually 4 or 5 stars but they are pricey I believe. Apart from this, tipping is a big part and the expectation is quite high as well from tourists so be ready to budget separately for it. Also, the entrance fee cost adds up so if you are on a budget, do consider that separately, we were quite surprised. Money exchange was fair at the bank where we had to get the visa sticker at the Cairo airport when we landed. Lastly, be careful if you purchase fragrances in Aswan. We were taken to Philae Essences Palace by our tourguide which was quite big, well decorated and had great presentation of products, but our purchased products were super diluted then the once we were given to test at the shop…All in all we made great memories and would book budget travel with this company if we were to travel ever again to Egypt as we found the package reasonable.

One of the best times of my life and I have been to 60 countries. Nour was great with communication and dealing with hiccups along the way. I would suggest upgrading the ship on the Nile cruise since the one that comes with it is a little dated and rag tag to say the least. I would also ask them to include the camel ride in Cairo, it was one of the highlights of the trip. It doesn't cost much for a one or two hour trip (you pick the length with the camel jockey you get) but you get to actually go up to the pyramids, feel like you are in the desert seeing them and getting amazing pictures! The hot air balloon ride was also a highlight.

We had an amazing time in Egypt! Our tour guide and driver in Cairo were attentive and friendly. Yasmin (guide)and Rahim (driver), really immersed us in Egyptian culture and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our vacation! Our Nile cruise was with guide Zakaraya and he also was wonderful! This tour allowed to see multiple cities and really get to know Egypt :)
