We were a group of four and chose the Cairo, Luxury and Alexandria tour package. We had two Egyptologists guiding us throughout the trip, and both were absolutely fantastic, incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and truly passionate about Egyptian history. We couldn’t have asked for better guides.
There were, however, some scheduling issues that affected our experience. After our Cairo tour on Day 1, we flew to Luxor that night. Our Luxor tour finished around 3pm the next day, but our return flight to Cairo wasn’t until 9pm. We were dropped at the hotel and ended up sitting in the lobby for four hours until our pickup at 7pm. An earlier flight or a late checkout would have made a big difference. We arrived back in Cairo after 11:30pm, too late for dinner, and our Alexandria tour started at 6am the next morning, meaning we also missed breakfast. A packed breakfast should have been arranged. The itinerary would have flowed much better if the Alexandria tour had been scheduled on Day 1 instead of Day 3.
Aside from the scheduling, everything else was excellent. The drivers were always on time, the vans were clean and comfortable, and everyone we interacted with was friendly and professional. Despite the timing issues, we would still recommend Egypt Tours for their outstanding guides and overall service.
