Trip of lifetime

25-Aug-2023

Favorite part of the tour was visiting the pyramids, temples and cruising on the Nile river.. Our Tour company " Egypt Tour Club" along with our Tour Guide Youssa. Youssa was top class. He was very knowledgeable about the history so learned many new and interesting facts. Youssa was also very welcoming and friendly and I would recommend both Youssa and Egypt Tour Club to anyone visiting. ................................... Tour included a 10 hour overnight sleeper train from Cairo to Ashwan. I also enjoyed this experience because I prepared with Disposable bed sheets, body wipes etc. I strongly recommend you do your research to decide if you want to do this part of the tour as its not for everyone. The sleeper cabin was a tight fit but it was what I expected. Do your research! ...more ...less

Just do it and ask for Mariam and Mohammed! Lol highly recommended especially for first timers in Egypt!

30-Mar-2023

We booked the Private Customized 3 day tour of Cairo, Giza, and Alexandria tour through Viator.com. It is our first trip in Egypt and we are so very glad and thankful that we did! Mariam, our tour guide, and Mohammed, our driver, was a huge blessing to us! They are helpful, accommodating, and knowledgeable. They made the Cairo part of our trip quite relaxed and enjoyable! Mariam truly went over and beyond for us! Mariam even protected us from scammers that are persistently trying to get us to buy things and from creepy guys persistently trying to ask for pictures with us. She’s tough little lady! :) She even bargained for us at the bazaars! I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a tour guide in Cairo. I can only hope that our next tour guide is as good as Mariam! ...more ...less

The best experience!

07-May-2024

This tour far superseded my expectations. I was picked up by a private Egyptologist by private driver in an air conditioned car first thing after breakfast directly from my hotel. I was then taken on a private boat tour on the River Nile, followed by a decision of my own to which museums we were to visit. The vast history I became familiar with through this tour thanks to my very knowledgeable guide was enlightening and exciting not only throughout the museums, but throughout the entire day. His English was perfect and so the vast history was easily understood. On top of his knowledge, was his photography - SO MANY great photos came from this day, more than any other experience I’ve had in Egypt. We got photos others weren’t even permitted to get at the pyramids bc he was smooth with the security. He also knew where to get quality souvenirs for my family, my friends, and myself. Then he even gifted me something I didn’t buy for myself bc that’s just the close friend he became. Camel rides, ATVs adventures, and the beautiful sunset all with the great pyramids of Giza in your background. Really, I couldn’t have been gifted a better guide! Mahmoud Khalefa is THE BEST! Ask for him, you won’t be disappointed. ...more ...less

100% Worth It/Book Youssa

20-Jul-2022

Went with Egypt Tours Club and my guide of Youssa. It was a great experience lead by an experienced and passionate guide. As a teacher, I learned a lot from him and he made the experience worthwhile. The value of the trip and all we were able to experience in Egypt was a bang for my bucks. I would go again. ...more ...less

Where to begin...

25-May-2023

First time being in Egypt and the sites are amazing! Beyond anything my wife and I could ever imagine. Jimmy, our tour guide, where do we begin? Incredibly knowledgeable about Cario, Sakkara, Giza, the museums: there was nothing Jimmy didn't know it seemed. Jimmy moved at your pace, never overbearing or trying to quickly get through things (except for the Egyptian Museum of Antiquitys. You can spend literally a month in there alone). His driver was always on-time whenever we needed him. It was like he has a six sense. Jimmy's camera skills are top notch as well. Jimmy always went thr extra mile to accommodates us. Jimmy felt started as our tour 3 day tour guide and ended up being family. ...more ...less

Great time on private Giza Tour!

We had an amazing time on our tour with Aziza! She made the day such a delight and she was full of great knowledge. I would highly recommend doing this tour, and spending the more time at Saqqara like we did.

Completely amazing. Hassan made the experience memorable, interesting, and safe. He was so knowledgeable about literally everything. He knew the right amount of information to give on the tour. The restaurants he took us to were all pretty good. He went above and beyond to make sure we had the experience we wanted. He took us to the authentic shops. I can’t even say what my favorite part of the tours were bc everything was perfect! I definitely recommend Hassan and this tour. He also takes AMAZING PICS!! ...more ...less

Any tours in Egypt Must be done with them :)

15-May-2024

This encounter was very remarkable! Since childhood, I have had a strong desire to see the pyramids, and I am pleased to report that they did not disappoint me in the slightest. The person that led us for the day was Jemmy, and she was exceptional. She has a remarkable depth of knowledge, exhibited a warm and kind demeanor, and proved to be an excellent companion for the whole day. Once we depleted our water supply, she promptly stopped at a vendor and purchased more water for all of us without seeking permission. We appreciate your efforts in making our vacation exceptional, Jemmy! ...more ...less

We completed a 5 day...

06-Nov-2022

We completed a 5 day private tour with Egypt Tours Club that included Abu Simbel, private transfer to Luxor, Luxor East and West bank, and Cairo pyramid tour. Unfortunately during the tour we met other couples and fellow travelers on the exact same private tour experience with competitor companies, and we were shocked to find out how much more we had paid in comparison. The price difference was not due to the quality of service, as every other traveler I spoke to raved about how positive and accommodating their experience was. Upon research, all companies also had extremely positive 5 star ratings. For anyone considering a private tour, please also reach out to Egypt Fantastic Tours. Unfortunately my experience with Egypt Tour Club ended extremely negatively. When I shared my honest feedback, they asked me to present proof. I spent time to then detail out how much I was overcharged by, and the response I received back was degrading. They simply thumbs up my response and did not respond further. I paid $409USD over and above a competitor’s with the same 5 star rating. I wouldn’t recommend this company and I hope you take time to research further, as there are many companies that offer the same tour at a fair price, and will treat you with respect. ...more ...less
