Dream realization - It was a wonderful experience, we went on a family excursion, with a Portuguese-speaking guide accompanying us at all times, always on time to pick us up at our hotels. There were several cool moments, having lunch in a restaurant with a view of the pyramids or sitting on a sun lounger sailing on the Nile River. All the guides were wonderful, especially Saeed, he made our trip through Cairo even better.

This company provides top notch experiences and care - This company took good care of me. I got canceled from my booked tour from another company the night before arriving in Egypt (no kidding), and Peter made it his personal mission to make sure I had a tour when I arrived the next day. Sure enough, my driver was waiting. They had to be creative on how to blend me into another group with no notice, but they did it, and I never missed a thing on my trip. Then, unfortunately, I got Traveler's Trots REALLY bad and had to stay on the River Nile Cruise sleeping in my room (which is lovely), so I missed seeing a few temples. My guide then, Tata, went and got me some medicine that worked wonders, and also super fast. My doctor at home said it was the right thing to do for me, so I was lucky to have this help. I couldn't believe the difference, because it saved the last few days of my trip, and that was in Luxor that you don't want to miss! All around, I was super taken care of. So just because it says Egypt on a Budget don't equate that with lower class experiences because everything is top notch. Book with confidence, these people are great.

Visiting Egypt - My experience with this tour has been great! We have covered all the main sights to see in Egypt. Which are even better in person than I’d imagined. Khaled our tour guide is very knowledgable and has made our trip very memorable and fun . I especially enjoyed that Khaled explained the history of ancient Egypt in great detail but he also showed us modern Egypt. Visiting Egypt is definitely worth it. I will remember this trip for life.

Nile Cruise + Temples + Valley of the Kings - We had Khaled as the tour guide from Aswan to Luxor on the Nile Cruise. Khaled was helpful when requiring assistance during the trip. The trip overall was very good and i really enjoyed seeing all of the sights. My favourites are Abu Simbal and Luxor Temple. We also went on a lovely horse carriage ride around the city of Luxor. Luxor was bustling during the night with markets for lots of food and we had a lovely sugar cane drink.

Tour guide was great! - Our tour was fun. Khaled was a god send as a tour guide. Very knowledgeable bloke, super friendly and easy to get along with. He definitely saved us a few headaches on this trip via help with tickets, ‘hidden tips’ and organising side tours. Can’t recommend him enough.

Good tour that covers all the bases :) - My friend and I (female travellers) were put into a group with 3 others and had a great time! Tour was fun and hit all the major spots. Quite a packed schedule but worth it to see all the attractions. Khaled was a helpful guide who gave us space to explore on our own time. Timing and organisation was pretty decent, we only ran late for our arrival in Kom Umbu. Cruise ship we were on (Queen Isis) was nice enough, the staff were exceptionally attentive and lovely. There were a few extra costs (some tours) and all the entrance fees but overall seemed like alright value for money.
