Festive King Ramses - 13 days

It has been a dream of mine for many years to visit Egypt and this year I decided to stop day dreaming about going and actually book a Christmas trip. I have travelled with On The Go before so I knew that the trip would be good, but in reality it was superb and that was because of our fantastic guide Momo. Momo is one of the best tour guides I have come across. He is really passionate about Egypt and it clearly brings him great joy to share his extensive knowledge with people who are eager to soak up the rich culture and history of the country. Momo guided us around some of the most awe inspiring sights I have ever seen including the Pyramids, Philae Temple, Valley of the Kings and Karnak. This trip really was superb and I would recommend Egypt to anyone as a wonderful place to visit.

The tour was well paced and structured. This gave the feeling that each site/temple we visited was better that previous one, culminating with the temple of Luxor and the Valley of the Kings. Our guide Dino was brilliant! His knowledge of Ancient Egypt was second to none and he was able to answer all of the many questions we fired at him! He has a tremendous amount of patience and handled quite a few difficult situations with professionalism. This was my second trip to Egypt but I gained so many new experiences and had an absolute blast! Thanks so much!

This has been a trip of a life time and On the Go Tours had made it possible with this tour. Our tour guide, Momo, is so passionate about his country and his knowledge made our experience extra special. The tour was just perfect and with the 4 days of relaxation in Hurghada was a welcome relief after touring Egypt. The sites were amazing and so majestic I cried tears of happiness at a few of the sites. To have a guide like Momo, we couldn’t have asked for better. Not only did he care about us, reassuring, organising us so that we would get the best out of our tour. He helped complete strangers from different ends of the world come together and form great friendships that will continue hereafter. We cannot thank you enough, On the Go Tours and Momo for the best adventure of mine and my mother in laws life. We will forever be grateful.

The tour was fantastic and especially the tour leader Momo. He wad considerate and really made sure I was not hassled by sellers in Egypt. The tour is fun packed and I met a group of really nice people.

By far this has been my favourite overseas holiday! We arrived a day early and did a tour with MoMo to Alexandria, which I think is a must-do as it gives you better understanding of the Greek and Roman influence on Egypt. I chose this tour as it fits in all the highlights of Egypt. I couldn't pick just one highlight of the tour - standing in the middle of a pyramid, watching the sunrise as we did hot air ballooning over Luxor, the temples and seeing the beautiful paintings in the tombs. If you are going over New Years the cruise is a must. The weather is quite cold outside so I have no regrets in this instance for not doing the felucca ride (which would be perfect for the warmer months!) The party onboard was a lot of fun and the staff onboard were wonderful and gave us quite a feast for New Years. While other tours let you go straight back to Cairo after being in Luxor, I highly recommend heading to Hurghada. After having incredibly busy days it is nice to unwind and enjoy a beautiful resort. Even in Winter the Red Sea is warm and great for snorkeling and scuba diving. Hurghada was a must-go place for me as I had arranged my own private tours there to scuba dive (so if you are a scuba diver, this tour is a good one to choose as you have a lot of free time for water sports) and do a few other adventure activities. Our tour guide Mo Mo was great and went above and beyond to give us the best experience possible. He is an excellent ambassador for his country and would invite us out to share meals with him at local venues in his free time - and these were some of the best meals of the trip. He created a sense of unity for the tour group and assisted us in facilitating great relationships with one another. We also had another tour guide Adham on the cruise as Mo Mo was on the felucca with others. Adham was great as well and I cannot fault him. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wanted to visit Egypt. It far exceeded my expectations and gave me a bit of a taste of each place in a short period of time. It has made me want to return and further explore a few places like Aswan and enjoy more leisure time in Hurghada.

Firsty my Guide - Mohamed Saiid - Momo. What a wonderful gentle soul. Mo was a delight. His enthusiasm, knowlege and passion for all things Egypt is commendable. Mo's Egyptology was outstanding which he delivered with humour that enabled us to absorb and retain the information better - he had an excellent take on when we were getting information overload and would adapt his commentary to suit. We had a wonderful group of people but a diverse range of personalities, some with quite strong views of how things should be done, which at times was extremely difficult for Mo to co-ordinate the group but I think he did a wonderful job of accommodating the majority whilst appeasing the minority. A special delight was Mo sharing life of everyday Egyptians by taking us for coffee and tea in small coffee shops in the shisha aroma filled lanes - a true dleight. SECONDLY THE TRIP ITSELF - for me - 9 /10 - The tour showed us major Egyptian must do's - the Pyramids, Abu Simbel, Phillae Temple, Luxor, Karnak, Colossi of Memnon and the amazing Valley of the Kings. We got to swim in the Nile, cruise down it and then ended up at the Red Sea where we could view the coral and fishes through the glass enclosures of the semi-sub and then snorkel amongst the fishes. Finally we ended our tour with a visit to the Egyptian Museum where we saw the Royal Mummies and of course the highlight - everything Tutankhamun! I found the Egyptian people to be very friendly and accommodating and personally I felt very at ease the entire trip. To make the tour a 10/10 for me - an extra day in Luxor and Aswan and only 2 days in Hurghada would be the way to go. Egypt - definitley a bucket list item that you would not regret taking.

Hands down the best 13 days EVER! Largely due to our amazing guide Dino :) Dino wasn't just a guide, he was very much part of the group joining us for evening drinks, meals, additional excursions and generally just hanging out with us socially. It didn't feel like we were just being chaperoned around and educated on the key sites (although he did a fantastic job of that as well), Dino was more like a new friend proudly showing us his country, history and culture. He is a fantastic ambassador for On The Go Tours and Egypt in general and I 100% back him for a Leadership Award! Good Luck Dino and enormous thanks again for an amazing trip!

First of all I would like to let all the readers know that Egypt is a beautiful, safe and spectacular country that will go way beyond your expectations...You wiill leave wanting more! The King Ramses tour is a perfect way to see the culture and history of Egypt. It really takes you throughout the country by train and bus and explore different aspects of Egypt. Loved how the tour ended with a few days in Hurghada so we could rest and relax before heading home. From the moment we arrived in Cairo On the Go had a rep waiting and welcoming us at the airport. I don't think I can express it enough how professional and warm hearted your tour guides are. We had Momo for most of our tour and Adham on our Nile Cruise. Both very knowledgeable and friendly guides. Momo is right in his element with what he does...His knowledge and passion for his country is evident in his energy and storytelling with every site we visited and through his detailed answers. He was always so patient with the questions and always had a very detailed answer...some of which he may have had to repeat over and over again...But always with a smile. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. Each day was filled with laughter and adventure and memories that will be with us for a lifetime. No matter the situation Momo always went out of his way to make sure everyone was happy and okay from day 1 right until we said our goodbyes at the end of the tour. I have done several tours now over the years and Momo has set the bar so high with characteristics of what a tour guide should be. All three of us who traveled together agree that without MOMO our Egypt experience just would have not been the same...He called our group "family" and he definitely treated us all that way... Actually felt like all 32 people on the tour were family...It was hard to say good-bye. Keep up the wonderful work Momo and know you have truly left us wanting to come back to your beautiful country and we hope you can guide us again one day on a future tour.😀

Amazing tour with a lovely and spectacular guide Alam, he went above and beyond so that my family and myself felt safe, comfortable, and overall had a wonderful experience!

Great guide. Mostly great tour. An extra day on the felluca would have been good and i donlt think quite so many early starts were needed.
