From Cairo: 8-Day Tour of Cairo, Luxor and Aswan with Cruise

Mohammed Farag is much more than a taxi driver—he’s an honest, trustworthy, and genuinely kind person who makes you feel like you’re traveling with a friend. From the moment I got into his car, he went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable, offering me water and snacks and always making sure I was okay. He clearly takes great pride in his work and truly cares about the people he drives. I feel incredibly lucky to have had Mohammed Farag as my driver, and I sincerely hope everyone has the chance to travel with him. If you do, you’re in the best hands.

Mahmoud Abozaid was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgable & passionate about Egypt’s history. We visited Saqqara pyramids, Dahshur pyramids & Memphis. Lovely trip & highly recommend Mahmoud as your tour guide.

My wife and I have returned from the trip. 1.: Very negative was the handling of the tipping policy in Cairo by the tour guide. In their catalog, it is noted that tips of about €35/person are not included in the travel price; however, there is no obligation to pay (according to legal regulations regarding tips, otherwise it would be taxable additional revenue). However, on the day of arrival, it was made into an additional tipping flat rate of €35.00/person + €3 per day and person for the tour guide and bus driver, which is "collected" the next day. (No mention of "no obligation to pay"). The next day, however, nothing was collected. Instead, it was pointed out that "we also have to think of the other staff members, whom you (we tourists) do not see as people in the engine room." Therefore, we should set the tip flat rate at a "reasonable" €75.00 per person. I will collect that together with the optional excursion price later, please have everything in cash. Those without cash can use the machine in the hotel." (Card does not work, as it creates a revealing written record) This means a couple needs around €180.00 extra, which will be collected by the tour guide right away. Fortunately, we were only in Cairo for 2 days; otherwise, on the 3rd day, tips for the descendants of Ramses II, "for whom you as tourists are actually here," would have been due, and €150.00 per person would have been appropriate..... 2.: The excursion to "Coptic Cairo" that was scheduled for the 3rd day according to the program was withheld from us. Mr. Kamal preferred to take an extra paid "Heissa-Popaia" evening excursion to Cairo for €20.00 (we did not book that). On the 3rd day, there was then a voluntary excursion in the morning at a price of €50.00 per person to the Stung Pyramid (we did not book that). A nice additional income for Exotic at the expense of the trendtours package tourists. In the afternoon, then to Cairo Airport for the flight to Luxor. The excursion "Coptic Cairo" was withheld. Must-Do in Dubrovnik It is a great museum that is very entertaining due to various interactive options and is also suitable for a younger audience. Mega

Even though the airport had trouble and the rendezvous at the arrival gate was delayed by three hours, Mahmoud from Jamica was waiting for us. Thank you so much. The WhatsApp support was really amazing again throughout the tour!!!

Ahmed was very professional. He arrived on time and I had a safe journey to the airport.

Reliable and on time. Makes us tourist feel comfortable. Thank you

I had as a driver Mr Jamaica, he was punctual and exemplary in his professionalism. I recommend him

The hotel is four stars, apparently, but it sucks. Guides are appropriate. I've been talking to someone on my phone. Drivers on their way home are urged to write word of mouth quickly while driving. He took away my phone while driving, saying he could do it in a minute if I told him to post it after arriving at the hotel. Regret choosing.

Our excursion from Cairo to Alexandria went very well. Jamaica, our driver drives very smoothly and enjoyably.

We booked this tour expecting a five-star experience, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to that standard. We spent a couple of days in Cairo, which was fine overall. However, the flight to Luxor and the cruise experience were disappointing. The boat was definitely not five stars — the rooms were dirty, the food was poor, and the customer service felt more like a one-star experience. There was no Wi-Fi available, and they even charged extra for hotspot access, which was frustrating. We had a few different guides during the trip. Ramez was very nice, and we also had the chance to be guided by Aladdin, who was truly the best of the best and made a big positive difference in our experience.
