06-Nov-2024
Our 4-day Nile Cruise, hosted by Your Egypt Tours was a truly amazing experience. This was all thanks to our private guide, Ash.
Ash was not only highly knowledgeable in Egyptian history, but he was also very passionate about his work in tourism and making the Nile journey unforgettable. Ash spoke great English, and throughout the course of the 4 days, he went out of his way to ensure we felt safe, comfortable, and that we had a wonderful time.
The cruise, on MS Farah, was fantastic. The service was top notch, the food was delicious, and the views along the Nile were breathtaking. Ash was present at each stop along the Nile journey, once we disembarked the ship, to hand-walk us to every ancient temple and attraction, and to deliver a compelling story on ancient Egyptian history.
If you are thinking of travelling to Egypt, don’t pass up on booking this tour. I can personally attest that Ash will deliver on a remarkable and unforgettable experience for you and your family or friends.

16-May-2024
Our group of seven, embarked on an extraordinary adventure with "Your Egypt Tours" on the 20th of April, and it was nothing short of magical. From the moment we were picked up promptly at 8:00 AM, to the final drop-off at our hotel at 7:00 PM, every moment was meticulously planned and flawlessly executed.
Iman, our exceptional Egyptologist and Tour Leader, captivated us with her deep knowledge and passion for Egyptian history. Her insightful explanations at the Giza Pyramids area provided us with a profound understanding of the ancient wonders we were about to explore. Throughout the day, she ensured that each stop on our itinerary, from the Great Pyramid burial chamber to the Sphinx Area, was not just a visit, but an enriching experience filled with historical context and cultural significance.
Safety was paramount at every stage of our journey, and we felt completely at ease thanks to the expert guidance of Iman and the attentive care of our tour chauffeur, Ahmed. The itinerary, meticulously crafted by the team, allowed us to immerse ourselves fully in Egypt's treasures, from the awe-inspiring Giza Pyramids to the fascinating exhibits at the GEM museum.
Special mention must be made of the unforgettable moments, such as riding camels at the Panorama Area and experiencing the exhilarating Quad ride in the pyramid's backside area. These unique experiences added an extra layer of excitement to our adventure and will be cherished memories for years to come. Need to mention here that we felt very safe due to the fact that Peter, our Tour Agent, took care of anything we needed during our adventurous Camel & Quad rides.
In summary, "Your Egypt Tours" exceeded all expectations, delivering a five-star tour experience that surpassed every benchmark of excellence. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking to explore the wonders of Egypt in comfort, safety, and style. A heartfelt thank you to Iman, for her exceptional leadership, to Peter for seamless coordination, and to Ahmed for ensuring our comfort throughout the journey. We eagerly anticipate our next adventure with "Your Egypt Tours"!"

05-Oct-2022
Wow! We just wrapped up an incredible 2 day visit to Cairo with Your Egypt Tours. This was my partner and I’s first visit to Egypt and we can’t say enough great things about our experience. From start to finish they took care of all of the details of our trip. Mona helped us to select the right itinerary for our short stay in Cairo and was clear, timely, and professional in all of her communication. We were picked up from the airport, guided through the visa and customs process, and rode in a lovely private van to our hotel with the help of Ahmed. Driving in Cairo is no easy feat and our driver Raf made us feel incredibly comfortable. We chose to visit the pyramids our first day and check out Cairo, the Khan el Khalili bazaar, and the Egyptian museum on our second day. Our guide, Mamdouh, was truly incredible. His knowledge, fun attitude, and professionalism made our experience so memorable. He is also a great photographer! Every detail of each day was taken care of including coordinating entrance fees, identifying which local vendors were reputable, and giving us a chance to learn more about the Egyptian culture. Every person we interacted with in the tour group is so welcoming and made us look forward to our next visit to Egypt. If you are looking for the best tour experience on your trip, Your Egypt Tours is it! 10/10.
