Ultimate Egypt Food and Culture Tour

Zicasso’s travel specialist more than lived up to the many favorable reviews the company has earned. He was receptive and responsive to my requests and used the considerable input I offered to create an itinerary that translated my goals into an itinerary that was flawlessly executed. The drivers and guides assigned all were excellent, and the pampering we received from our arrival to our departure made all of our travel comfortable and seamless.

We were treated to some VIP extras that elevated our experiences and when we encountered a problem onboard the river cruise part of our trip, he and his staff were able to address them on short notice and on a weekend. It is perhaps conventional to tell a customer one is available 24/7, but that truly was the case with the travel company. When circumstances warranted altering the planned itinerary, it was accomplished deftly. This flexibility was much appreciated and truly helped make our trip even more memorable than initially anticipated.

We have friends who expressed their envy at our trip plans and their desire to visit Egypt. My wife and I certainly will share with them our thoughts and views about the wonderful services the travel company provides.

The trip was excellent from start to finish. Zicasso’s travel specialist perfectly understood us—what we wanted to see, how we wanted to travel, and the types of places in which we wanted to stay. The travel company was outstanding. Their goal was that if there were any problem, it was theirs and not ours to handle.

Great organization.

Great guides and drivers.

Everything was seamless.

The trip was excellent. We really had a great time! The "ground staff" (drivers, airport greeters, etc.) were terrific. We had four guides.

Our hotel in Abu Simbel and our hotel in Cairo were great.

The cruise ship, the ship in Egypt, was wonderful. The food could have been better, but the entertainment, cleanliness, and staff were all first-rate.

The lady who led the food tour was wonderful. Her English was very good and she was very personable.

Our guide at Abu Simbel was terrific and knowledgeable, and able to find shade on a hot day.

Our guide in Cairo was very knowledgeable, although we struggled to understand everything he said. (Although his English was much better than our Arabic.) As we went to many of the great sites in Egypt, I wanted to buy souvenirs, but I wasn't able to get near the shops. I have heard that souvenir shop owners will, at times, try to rip off tourists, but I don't know if that was the only reason he wouldn't let us near one.

Our fourth guide in Luxor was also very good, personable, and intelligent. However, it was hot and we could have used a break in the shade. He was a lot younger and more fit than we were and didn't seem to notice we were struggling.

Thank you for putting this trip of a lifetime together for us. Ron is taking his grandson to Rome and is using Zicasso.

Zicasso’s tour operator and our guide were incredible. The trip could not have been more perfect!

We had extremely high expectations coming into this trip and this travel company exceeded them tenfold! We had a packed itinerary, but how it was planned never made it feel over the top. We saw everything we wanted to see, the movement throughout the country was seamless, and everyone we interacted with was incredible!

Our guide was single-handedly the best I have ever had on any tour ever in the world. Not hyperbole. She was beyond knowledgeable, but her adaptability to our group needs and desires to pivot on the fly just added a level of white-glove service that deserves seven stars. If you're booking with the tour operator (which you should), you'll be in the most amazing hands with her!

Our recent trip to Egypt and Jordan with Zicasso's tour operator was extraordinary! From start to finish, every aspect of the journey was meticulously planned and executed, leaving us with a wealth of cherished memories and deep appreciation for the cultures and historic sites in these incredible places!

The quality of our guides made for a very special experience. Each guide was passionate in sharing their knowledge. The itinerary was well crafted, balancing sightseeing and cultural experiences. Our transportation was seamless and accommodations were conveniently located and impressive. Our trip with this tour operator exceeded our expectations.
