A wonderful experience at Egypt We had an absolutely fantastic trip thanks to EgyptaTours. From being met at the plane in Egypt, to th4e excellent guides and drivers, our trip was outstanding. Mona took us around Cairo and was willing to answer all of our many questions concerning past and present history. The local meals we enjoyed for our lunches were exactly what we hoped for. If you want to see the highlights of Egypt and only have one week you cannot do any better than EgyptaTours!

Tim T

7 Days Cairo and Alexandria Tour Our Journey to Cairo, Alexandria and Luxor Was Unforgettable, From the First Moment at the Airport Our Rep was waiting for us and everything was perfectly organized, Our Tour Guide Mona was helpful and Knowledgeable, she made the Pyramids, Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum come alive with her passion. Thanks to EgyptaTours, Highly Appreciated

Stefano G

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!

A wonderful experience at Egypt A wonderful experience at the pyramids and the museum. Delicious food and a visit to the papyrus museum at the end. Everything was incredible, thanks to our guide. Thanks EgyptaTours.

Climber49840280344

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.

Andrea R

10 Days Egypt Tour Package EgyptaTours team was absolutely excellent! Our tour was personalised for our requirements, was extremely well organised and we got to enjoy a trip of a lifetime. Guides Mona and Ahmed were very knowledgeable and accommodating when we wanted to change the itinerary. Thank you so much for a wonderful trip. I can't recommend this company highly enough.

Karl A

Wonderful Experience with Excellent Service A wonderful experience! We recently traveled to Egypt, and Egypta Tours organized all our activities and transfers within the country. Our contact at the agency was Mohamed alaa. He was always attentive to our needs, and it was a true pleasure working with him. I highly recommend contacting them to plan your trip!

Curiosity50802142618

Exceptional Service Highly Recommended Nile Cruise Booking Trying to organise a Nile Cruise can be challenging with so many options and so many different cruise companies and price points. I have recently booked a Nile Cruise with Egypta Tours and our personal tour operator Amr has been excellent, extremely responsive and stood out from all the other operators I engaged with during the research and booking process.

Anthony B

Un Viaje Inolvidable Con Egypta Tours Maravillosa experiencia. Hemos hecho un viaje por Egipto y la compañía Egypta Tours ha sido la encargada de organizar todas nuestras actividades, así como los traslados dentro del país. Nuestro contacto con la agencia fue Abdelrahman Tayea. En todo momento estuvo pendiente de nosotros y fue un verdadero placer trabajar con él. Os recomiendo sin duda que acudáis a ellos para organizar vuestro viaje!
