Egypt Travel Agents & Reviews

My husband and I just returned from an anniversary trip to Egypt that we booked with our matched travel specialist. Mahmoud was so easy to work with throughout the planning process. He responded almost instantly to all of our emails and requests to discuss things over the phone, and he planned an amazing 9-day trip for us. He was also completely flexible when we wanted to push our trip back by two months (we thought the Covid situation may be better, turns out it wasn't). We started in Cairo with our guide Sultan, who was great! He showed us around the pyramids, Saqqara, and downtown Cairo. He shared a lot of information with us at each site!We then traveled to Aswan and Luxor where we had Essam "Sam" as our guide for 5 days before flying back to Cairo. Sam was incredible! He had such a fun personality and shared many stories and so much interesting information about the temples and tombs that we visited. We loved his positive energy! While in Aswan with Sam we visited Philae Temple, sailed on the Nile to a Nubian village, and took a day trip to Abu Simbel. Then we visited Kom Ombo Temple and Edfu Temple on our way to Luxor. In Luxor, we visited the Valley of the Kings and Valley of the Queens (these spots were some of our absolute favorites!) as well as Queen Hatshepsut's Temple, Karnak Temple, and Luxor Temple at night! We took a day trip to visit Abydos Temple and Dendera Temple as well. We really lucked out at all of our sites-we essentially had each place to ourselves. After our time with Sam, we flew back to Cairo to spend one more day with Sultan touring the Egyptian Museum, the Citadel, and the Bazaar. We had such an amazing time on our trip, and our travel specialist made sure everything was perfect. They also added some special touches for our anniversary, which we really appreciated! We absolutely recommend this travel company. If you are hoping to travel to Egypt, this travel company is who you want planning it for you!

Our vacation to Italy, Turkey and Greece was amazing, the travel designer at this travel agency did a great job of planning our itinerary with having very little time to work with due to our last minute decision to travel because of covid 19, we managed to see all of the major sites and still had enough free time to enjoy some leisure time on our own. I would recommend this travel agency and Zicasso to anyone who would like to enjoy a worry free vacation. 

Despite having to cut our vacation 1 day short, it was wonderful.  The tours were amazing!  The guides were incredible, and they paid attention to all details (including my son's nut allergies).  Every day was meticulously planned and yet we had flexibility on a lot of the details.  Loved it and will definitely come back! 

Our overall experience with both Zicasso and Kirsty was superb. Neither words nor pictures can capture the overall experience of a safari in Tanzania. The wildlife, the terrain, and the people made this experience unforgettable. The trip to Tanzania from beginning to end went without a single glitch. All of Kirsty's recommendations were beyond satisfying. This included the itinerary, the lodges and camps, and the safari company that provided our guide. We lucked out when we were assigned our guide. He was not only an outstanding guide with an eagle eye but a great person that we now consider a friend.When we started planning this trip we made a couple of date changes that Kirsty jumped on it and was able to accommodate on short notice, and we know that was not easy. We traveled to Italy first to visit family, so our trip to Tanzania started in Italy. When we were in Italy we were unable to complete the required health entry forms on our smartphones. Kirsty jumped and completed the forms for us, all we had to do was print them out. The bottom line, we had first-class service throughout this trip thanks to Kirsty. 

Zicasso set me up with this travel company. The travel planner was my contact from the beginning and with his help my husband and I created an amazing private tour. It was smooth sailing from day one. A travel specialist met us at the Cairo airport and took care of our visas on the spot and helped us with bags. Our driver was so sweet and always had a huge smile. Our hotel through a well know chain in Cairo with Pyramid view was gorgeous! Our tour guide in Cairo was so knowledgeable and helpful. Nothing was too big an ask as she helped us get our huge lamp and vase shipped back to the states. The pyramids, temples, tombs and camel ride was like being in a movie. Cairo is a must do for anyone who loves history.Our domestic flights were all on time. Our first flight was to Aswan. The hotel in Aswan was stunning with view of the Nile and pool. The room was as big as an apartment and had a huge balcony. This was the hotel in the Agatha Christie movie Death on the Nile and is simply beautiful. Our guide and driver in Aswan were great. They even helped us find a wine store wholesaler so we could get stuff for our cruise. We flew a quick 1/2 hour flight to Abu Simbel to see Rames II and Nefatari tombs...Ah-making! The guide/drivers in Abu Simel were fun.The Cruise was on a ship and was very nice with delicious food. Wine and beer was reasonable. The itinerary each day was great. With a fantastic staff and ratio of guest to crew. Our Egyptologist was a wealth of information during our 4 days. This is the only part of our tour we had others in our group. The other 8 people were lovely and we even put them on our Christmas card list.Luxor was an early day with an amazing hot air balloon ride at sunrise, worth the early day. We met our tour guide for a half day tour of the Valley of the Kings and Queens. He was very knowledgeable and you can tell he loved his job. The driver and him took us to the hotel for lunch and to relax before catching our next domestic flight back to Luxor. Lunch at the Lebanese restaurant at Hotel was so good and the facilities first class. Next we flew back to Cairo and met up again with our guide and driver. We went directly to the hotel for the rest of our two night stay. They gave us an upgrade to the top floor. We had a cool view of the zoo off our balcony. The staff are lovely and the rooms exactly as you would expect at this 5 star hotel. Cloudlike bedding, luxury finishes and French bath products. Breakfast was amazing and varied. Nothing too big an ask from the staff. Loved our tour and the ease with which Zicasso and this company operated from start to finish. Will use them again without hesitation.
