All the major sights and some obscure ones in one trip
I don't normally do tour packages but Egypt has a lot of sights spread out all over and internal travel can be fussy. This tour company is one of the few to offer El Minya, and that drew me to it (always wanted to see Ahkenaten's intended tomb). The package is flexible and has optional bonus tours, many of which I did. In each area (Cairo, Minya, Upper Egypt) you get a different guide and all of mine were great, particularly my Upper Egypt guide.
You can add additional days in Cairo at start or end which is good because most of the add-on activities are up there. The best add-ons that I did were Alexandria, Dashur, Abu Simbel and Philae). Extra days and add-ons for me was about $1000 USD extra, but I did most of the ones they offered and had four extra nights. The vast array of sights I got to see, spanning 5000 years of history, was totally worth it.
If you are looking to see LOTS of Egypt but feel intimidated by planning it yourself, this is an excellent way to do it. Strong recommend!

The experience of a lifetime!
I booked this trip as it was one of the longest, covered a lot of the sights I wanted to see and the only one that went to Amarna. I was not disappointed! Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable guides! Mohammad, Tharwat, and Rafai looked after us super well! We had Mohammad for Cairo, Tharwat for Amarna and Beni Hassan, and Rafai from Luxor to Aswan. All were very competent and fun to be around! I highly recommend these guys!
The trip ran smoothly with small deviations to the given itinerary for the purpose of convenience - for example, Amarna one day with Beni Hassan the next. The only change these days was that the Boundary Stela was added but we did not make it to the Southern Rock Tombs. This was a bit disappointing for me as I hoped to see the Aten temples in the main city on the way through but we ran out of time. I will just have to come back again!
The service was very good. Water was provided and the guides were very attentive to our needs. All the travelling from place to place was in a private air conditioned vehicle. Guides helped by letting us know when we were going to change drivers so that we could tip them (tipping is a foreign concept for us in New Zealand). Highly recommended! You won’t be disappointed!

Professional no-worries enjoyable tour
Mr Saleh ensured I received the tailored tour I requested. His team picked me up when I was ready to start and stayed with me throughout. They transported me tonall the sites on time and they made sure I caught the right trains and someone was at my destination to get me to my hotel. Not a single worry in this tour. One caution, however. Entrance are not covered and they add up rapidly. And, photo fees to shoot pictures at many of these sites also add up. Tour guides are dedicated and work hard to help you navigate through all this. Nada and Rafe and expert guides and trusted, flexible operators. Take their advice and you won't go wrong. They have no control, however, over outsiders. EVERYBODY has their hand out for a gratuity. Use the bathroom? Tip. Open a door for you? Tip. Answer a question? Tip. As for the sites, they are all spectacular and worth seeing. Take the optional tours to Abu Simbel and Philae. They will cap your trip.

Excellent adventure, well organized
My wife and I just back from an unforgettable holiday in Egypt booked by “Explore Plus Holidays”. From our arrival to our departure company showed great customer care and consideration for their customers providing a 5-star service.
Our booking was dealt with big boss as they called Salah who ensured that the itinerary of our trip was perfect to suit our needs, He communicated with us before month of our start tour, During our 12 days we managed unusuall trip like Amarna, wow magnifecient temples you must see and tour it. 5-day Nile river Cruise, a hot air balloon ride over the valley of kings, a visit to Abu Simbel
From the moment we landed in Cairo we were treated so soft, they were always asking about our suitable time to start tour,
Luxor so nice place, we must try more days there to can cover all temples, Dendera so nice trip and temple to visit
We returned home with ton of photos never forgot this adventure, thank you big boss “Salah” 😊 hhhhhhh

<p>This itinerary gave us a deep understanding about the era of Akhenaton. It was hard to find one itinerary that had visits for the tombs at Amarna and this one fulflilled our expectations. A special thanks to mr. Salah and for mr. Fathy Taher, who had a deep knowledge of portugese language and of Egyptology. We hope to see you soon again! MarcelIsabella</p>

<p>The 3 of us thoroughly enjoyed the tour. We had an extensive tour of Egypt from the Top to the Bottom.<br/>
Went by mini van, camel, horse and buggy, cruise ship, private car, small boats, hot air balloon and local flight. In El Minya saw out of the way tombs experiencing desert and local farms on the way. A trip of a life time to see amazing monuments.</p>
