Egypt Travel Agents & Reviews

Trip of a lifetime. Everything was planned meticulously. The itinerary was perfect, and the agent really listened to our preferences and requests when planning it. We were met at every destination, and every point of our trip promptly, tour guides were fantastic, and the hotels/resorts were superb. In addition, Kirsty was always readily available to answer our questions along the way. Could not say enough great things about Kirsty and her team. 

Our trip to Egypt with this travel agency was one of the most memorable vacations we have ever had.  We were celebrating some special milestones and the team at the agency made it truly special.  Ramez made sure we were getting everything we wanted from the beginning and based on our requests made some additional recommendations he thought we would enjoy.  He was consistently communicating with me on what we were looking for and made our decision easy.  The team he deployed for us was the BEST!  From the time we flew into Cairo until the time we left 2 weeks later, we knew we were being well taken care of we didn't have to worry about any logistics.  Our Egyptologists and tour coordinators were very knowledgeable, professional, and kept us on time and task the whole time. Our guides were awesome to deal with and we not only learned a lot about ancient Egypt but also the current environment in Egypt.  All of our tours were awesome and our additions of a tour between the Sphinx paws and the active archeological dig in Saqqara were the absolutely best parts of our vacation.  Restaurant choices and market choices were great and we hardly ever had to worry about being hassled by vendors or scammers since our guides were constantly watching out for us.  We never felt unsafe!  Thank god for the professional drivers because I would never drive in Egypt.  They got us everywhere on time and with a smile and always had water available since it was so hot!!The hotel choices during our 2 weeks were great and we got to experience well known luxury hotels as well as luxury boutique hotels.  Our Nile cruise was great and relaxing and our vacation wrap up in Hurghada for 3 days was just what we needed to decompress and take in everything we saw up until then.  I would highly recommend this travel company to anyone planning an Egyptian vacation! 

A note of gratitude to all of the staff at the travel agency and especially to Mahmoud and the team for facilitating/guiding such a successful trip to Egypt! As a woman traveling alone, I began planning with some trepidation, but Mahmoud set my mind at ease and individualized a tour package to fit my needs. Literally, each logistic of the trip was taken care of for me. I was left to listen, learn, eat and absorb this beautiful culture. My drivers (sorry if I left anybody out) effortlessly navigated travel patterns that seemed to be organized chaos which left me feeling at ease. My guides were fonts of knowledge. I learned about Egyptian life past and present, got to witness some of the most beautiful temples, tombs and artifacts, sail the Nile and all the while meeting local artisans as they were producing exquisite creations in real time. Their warmth was radiant and talents abundant. I would wholeheartedly recommend the team at the travel agency and have no hesitation to book with them in the future!

Mary planned a terrific trip for my sister and myself.  The two best parts were thanks to Mary and her choice of guides while touring Cairo and Luxor.  They were so knowledgable about the kings and Pharaohs and every temple and mausoleum.  They were both Egyptologists to the max!  Plus, they were lovely gentlemen.  Her hotel choices were perfect as well.  Not on her, but I would have done our trip without the "cruise down the Nile"  I really didn't enjoy that at all.  A drive to Luxor from Cairo would have suited me better and then a drive to Abu Simbel, which was not offered or mentioned, would have been a much better choice for me.  But all in all, a wonderful trip!

The travel agency surpassed our expectations. They did everything they said they would in our itinerary and more importantly they were on time every day, had clear communication channels, and made sure we felt safe and knew what was happening at all times.They coordinated the tours and driver perfectly and we were never left waiting in the sun or wasting time looking for our driver. They were very accomodating if we wanted to add in an extra activity or have a break and the guides were professional and friendly and were happy to provide insight in to day to day Egyptian life as well as professional and educated information about Ancient Egypt. We asked the travel company to make all the bookings for us and to book all the accomodation using their preferred providers and they did a great job with this. Every hotel was amazing and the service and food was excellent. Our Nile cruise boat was one of the best we saw during our travels.I rate the travel company 10/10 on all aspects. 

Our trip to Egypt was fabulous - way beyond our expectations. The ease of getting from place to place with our drivers and guides made the trip more relaxing. It was nice to not worry about navigating Egypt on our own. We loved all of the local guides and representatives that our travel company chose for us. They were extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. The overall itinerary of the trip was nice, but we wish we could have customized it a little more since we were more interested in history and archeology than dining and shopping. The local guides made our trip so memorable, and they worked tirelessly to tailor our trip to what we wanted. We would recommend this travel agency to friends and family. We went on this trip thinking it would be a once in a lifetime experience, and we left wanting to plan a return trip to Egypt because it was so incredibly amazing. We would use this travel team again to help us plan our second trip. 

I was connected to the travel agency through Zicasso.   We've done Europe several times without using a travel agency, no problem, but Egypt is a place even the most travel savvy American will want some guidance.  I connected with Amr for help to plan a guided tour for 5 adults for 5 days.  Unfortunately we had the limited 5 days in Egypt due to it being the last stop add-on country after touring elsewhere for several weeks.   Although Amr highly recommended we needed more time there, he kindly worked within our short timeframe and budget to see some of the best sites in Egypt.  Everything was outstanding!! We had constant great in-county assistance, phenomenal Egyptologist tour guides (one of them was the best and highly respected everywhere we went), good van drivers, excellent hotels (both right on the Nile with amazing views),  perfect unique restaurants (one overlooking the Great Pyramids), and all of the famous tombs, pyramids, mummies, museums, temples, mosques, etc. in Cairo and Luxor.   I truly recommend this travel company! I can't stress that enough.  We were so impressed and felt like we were treated like royalty from arrival to departure in Egypt.  Just a few suggestions for travelers or the trip planners - 1. Get change for plenty of small Egyptian pounds.  Tipping is expected EVERYWHERE (bathrooms, guards in the tombs, basically after every service, where it is not typically expected in the USA).  It can be very annoying.  Follow the tipping guide provided by the agency to tip your personal numerous assistants, guides, drivers, etc.  I did not mind tipping our own team, they earned it.  2.  Ask the guide to "call off" all of the pushy vendors at the gift shops.  They can be very persistent and will hang with you for a distance as you walk by.   3.  Unless you just really want the sales pitch and demonstration, tell the guide you do not want to stop at the carpet school, the alabaster shop, Al-Fayad perfume shop, and papyrus store.  These were "surprise" stops that were not on the already packed itinerary.  Although interesting, you feel put on the spot and obligated to purchase.  We did purchase some items and probably paid way too much, but hey, hopefully we helped an Egyptian family.  Use this travel company if you travel to Egypt!   

We had a great trip with only a few glitches which we would expect and were resolved quickly.  The guides were outstanding very competent and gave us insight to understanding the culture and history and of Egypt and Jordan.  We felt very safe as we traveled.
