Family Tour We had Had a great tour with mona and Abdul to the pyramids and sphinx as well as a flexible tour to see some Egyptian historical sites. they guided us everywhere and was very detailed and knowledgeable in his explanations. We also had free time to roam as well and take some photos. It was nice to have an affordable private tour instead of navigating with a large group. Would recommend, thanks EgyptaTours!

Tour Review I planned a trip for my husband and I to come to Egypt for 2 weeks andI wanted to see as much as possible while we were here. I found EgyptaTours and was very pleased with the itinerary options they offered. My agent was super helpful in the planning process and the accommodations once we arrived to Egypt were OUTSTANDING. Our guides were fabulous, communicative, highly knowledgeable, and super friendly. They even allowed us to alter our itenerary in Egypt to allow us time to see some new things that we didn't know about while planning the trip! We had a wonderful experience and i recommend this company to anyone who wants to see Egypt and learn about the amazing history and culture.
