    Egypt Holidays Tours certainly exceeded all our expectations. From the first contact, the organization was impeccable, taking care of every detail to make the trip comfortable, safe and totally personalized. Special mention for our private guide, Mostafa El Rawy, which was simply magnificent. His in-depth knowledge of Egyptian history, his clear and passionate way of explaining each place and his close treatment completely marked the experience. He is not only a great professional, but also a friendly, attentive and always willing to adapt to our needs. Thanks to Mostafa, each visit to each temple became a unique, interesting and very enriching experience. He made us feel accompanied at all times and made the trip unforgettable. besides being an excellent photographer We recommend Egypt Holidays Tours and especially Mostafa El Rawy, and all the drivers who took us to each place 100%. If you are looking for an authentic, well-organized experience with an exceptional guide, this is the perfect choice.

    Mustafa is a fantastic guide with incredible knowledge of Egyptian culture, but also makes the journey extremely fun. He was so accommodating, giving us wonderful photos and service. I wish all our tours were accompanied by him as well as Ahmed. He picked us up from the airport on time and gave us a beautiful motorboat ride through Aswan.

    We went on the 4 days- 3 nights cruise and it was an unforgettable experience. The temples are fascinating and the Nile views are breathtaking. Abdou, the trip organizer was very nice and accommodating. He adjusted our trip plans to make sure we enjoy the experience and supported us when there was a small misunderstanding with a guide who was not at the meeting point for the visit. The room and the food in the boat were good and the personnel was very nice and welcoming. The guides for the visits were all super nice and patient with our many questions. :) The hot air balloon is a MUST DO experience, it was unforgettable. Big thank you Abdou and team for this unique experience! I highly recommend it!

    Our contact person Abdelrahman Ahmed was always present, attentive , helpful and punctual to clarify every time and move . The very professional hiking guides The cruise ship I would say a 4 star Egyptian...all good overall The only flaw is this thing about optional tips becoming more compulsory and CARE is not good! I think we need to know before we get a lot of tip money! The three of us spent over €100 tips!
