Recent reviews from happy travelers

Elena Ruiz – Spain Half Day Pyramids Tour in Cairo

5.0

“The Cairo day was private and unhurried. We changed the museum stop that morning and the guide adapted immediately — that is why we booked from the Cairo office, not a marketplace.”

Claire Martin – France Cairo and Alexandria Classic Week

5.0

“We sent the customize form with hotel class and dates. The outline came back the next day in French, with pickup times written clearly.”

James Whitaker – United Kingdom Half Day Pyramids Tour in Cairo

5.0

“A private morning on the plateau, not a coach dump. Time at the Sphinx was long enough to photograph without being pushed along. Highly recommend writing to them before you fly.”

Sofia Bianchi – Italy East and West Bank of Luxor

5.0

“West bank tombs without a coach timetable. The Egyptologist let us stay longer in the tombs we cared about and skip the souvenir stop.”

Markus Keller – Germany 4-Night Nile Cruise Luxor to Aswan

5.0

“Cabin nights between Luxor and Aswan were as described. They confirmed the ship after they had our dates — no surprise name change two days before boarding.”

Hannah Cole – Australia Cairo and Nile Cruise between Luxor and Aswan

5.0

“Traveled solo and felt looked after from the Cairo hotel through the sailing. WhatsApp replies came from the same person who sent the first outline.”

Omar Haddad – United Arab Emirates Best of Cairo: Giza Pyramids, Egyptian Museum & Bazaar

5.0

“Pyramids, the Egyptian Museum in Tahrir, and Khan el-Khalili in one privately paced day. Pickup was from our hotel in Zamalek at the hour we asked for, not a depot.”

Priya Nair – India Luxor Day from Safaga Port

5.0

“Shore day from Safaga with a name sign at the gangway. We were back before all-aboard. The children’s percentage on the quote matched the policy on the page.”

Questions about this tour

Pickup, group size, and what is already in the price — then send the form if you want a date held.

Simply contact Journey in Egypt with your travel dates, number of travelers, and preferred hotel category, and our travel specialists will prepare your personalized itinerary and quotation.

Yes. It combines Cairo's most famous attractions with a classic Nile Cruise between Aswan and Luxor, making it an ideal introduction to Egypt.

There is no online checkout. Send the inquiry form or a WhatsApp note with dates and how many people are traveling. The Cairo office replies with a private outline and a quote. You confirm when the plan fits.

Yes. Day tours and most packages use a licensed Egyptologist and a private vehicle for your party, timed to your hotel or ship — not a coach departure from a depot.

Each tour page lists includes, excludes, and package prices per person by group size. Typical days include the guide, the car, and the entrance fees named on that page. Interiors, lunch, and tipping are only included when the page says so.

The children policy is written on each tour. As a rule of thumb: under 2 travel free, ages 2–5.99 pay 25%, 6–11.99 pay 50%, and 12+ pay the adult package price. We apply that on the quote.

Pickup is from your Cairo, Giza, Luxor, or Aswan hotel, or from the ship quay on shore days. Guides are arranged in English, Spanish, or French when you ask on the form.

Write as soon as dates are firm. A private Cairo or Luxor day can often be set closer in. Nile cabins depend on the sailing date: we name the ship after we know your embarkation, then hold the cabin when you confirm the outline.
