Egypt Uncovered - 11 days

The tour was great we had a wonderful time seeing everything that Egypt had to offer. The only downside was the sleeper train from Cairo to Luxor which was not conducive to sleep at all. All the accommodation was nice, especially at Luxor and Hurgharda. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable.

The tour was fantastic! I could never imagine anyone coming to Egypt and touring solo as opposed to doing it with a tour group. Our tour guide was Ahmed Helal, We was extremely well versed in English and had extensive knowledge on everything Egypt related.

Our guide Medo was amazing. Very knowledgeable and humorous. Egyptian people love when you are enjoying yourself and having a good time overall. Medo made the trip easy. He had really good points on how we can get the most out of the day trips like waking up a little bit earlier to catch the temples before the sites became too busy. We always had a choice of where we wanted to eat or what activities we all would like to do as a group. I can’t say enough good things about Medo and this tour.

Splendid tour. Well planned and excellently executed. Assistance from before Customs. Accommodation, travel arrangements, food, (Water on the bus!) all very good. The best part though was our Tour Guide: MOHAMMED RADWAN (DINO). Well educated, accent easy to understand, informative, comprehensive, very resourceful, diplomatic, excellent people skills, always available and willing to assist with anything. Supportive, caring, reliable.

When we booked this tour back in February we really weren’t sure what we were signing up for. The tour blurb sounded too good to be true, particularly for the money we paid. We thought it was cool that our tour guide was an Egyptologist but we didn’t set our expectations too high. So of course we were blown away when we met Medo. We chose to do the day tour to Alexandria and although there were only two of us, Medo’s energy was unwavering and his passion for his country was incredible. We instantly knew that the next 2 weeks would be amazing. The next day we did the back streets of Cairo tour and then started the Egypt Unplugged tour the following day. Medo taught us so much about Egypt’s ancient and modern history, more than I could have learnt in any history class. He took us to the best local restaurants and his recommendations for extra activities such as the snorkelling were always spot on. When the Hilton in Hurghada couldn’t figure out our bookings, Medo stood at the reception desk for 10 hours to make sure our group was taken care of. I can wholeheartedly say that his enthusiasm, work ethic and his love for his country made my trip what it was. I have never felt safer overseas than I did in Egypt. Since returning home I have been telling anyone who will listen that this trip with On The Go is a must. I can’t wait to return and have my fingers crossed that I’m lucky enough to have Medo as my tour guide again next time. Can I give 6 stars?!

We also had the pleasure of Ramadan being our guide while in egypt - he looked after us during the Hurghada section and also the tour of Cairo itself - although he wasnt with us as much as Helal we formed a close bond as he is also a very genuine person who went out of his way to help us. He has great respect for all peoples and gave a great insight to his country and its muslim religion - for that we thank him very much and highly recommend him as a guide and Ambassador for On The Go Tours and his country Egypt.

The tour was absolutely fantastic and is the best way to see Egypt. For the first half of the tour (Cairo to Luxor), Sherif informed the group of so many facts and stories about the sights we saw. He was patient and also took us to restaurants which he recommended. I also felt very safe at all times. I enjoyed the train ride to Luxor, it was a great experience. Ramadan and Sherif both made the group aware of what souvenirs to buy, advising us of the fake things that people sell.

Firstly I would just like to say that both myself and my partner had quite possibly the best holiday of our lives within your tour. It was extremely well run with a good pace and great knowledge from the guides. I would highly recommend this tour.

Egypt was incredibly brilliant, lived up to the hype but in a way that was surprising. What I mean is that using the pyramids and king tut as the main selling points for Egypt is a massive undersell, so many more sites far more glorious such as Karnak temple and valley of the kings for example. Medo was an extraordinary guide who was incredibly passionate about Egypt and its history, displaying abundant knowledge on this ancient civilization as well as being very resourceful with our time and how to use it. I have strongly recommended Egypt to everyone I know back home in Adelaide, Australia.

The guide, Amir, was excellent. His knowledge was great, he was friendly and tidy in his presentation. He kept to the schedule that he had outlined at the beginning of each day. The transport was all in excellent condition, great driving considering the hilarious driving style in Egypt. The hotels were all excellent, except for the last night spent back up at Cairo after the time at the Red Sea. The last hotel for the single night was spent in a room that was heavily and uncomfortably smelly with tobacco. Other than that we were extremely happy with everything. I would like to go to Egypt again in the future, I felt safe, I enjoyed the people and the food. Thank you so much for a well organised tour that went to so many places that I didn't even realise existed. I am so glad that I booked and went. It is going to stay in my memory, the time spent with my 18 year old son before he goes off in to the world. Time I can never get again, so I feel blessed to have had this time on such a successful tour of Egypt. Many thanks to all of you at On the go tours.
