5.00I just completed a 7 day Egypt trip with Ibis tours. The entire staff of Ibis tours were extremely helpful and took care of every minor detail making our trip comfortable and enjoyable to the fullest. From the moment of landing in Egypt till the final departure, the team made sure all our needs were fulfilled. Special thanks to Abdul for overseeing the trip. Yasmine for bookings, Sayed and Yusuf being the knowledgeable guys - making sure we understand Egypt and its history. Many, many thanks to the team for making our trip a truly memorable one.

5.00We had a great tour with Abdul Rahman Mosbah as our tour coordinator! He was very friendly and helpful. We visited several temples / markets / landmarks within Cairo and Luxor in the 7 days trip we had . The buffett lunch was pretty average for the first day which Abdul made up for in the next days which is really commentable. The program was well organized and efficient. If we were staying longer in Egypt, we would have done another tour with him and this company. Although giving gratuity was not really indicated on the itinerary, our tour guide and the bus driver was so flexible that our trips were almost more than 10-11 hours each day. In my opinion , they deserve some recognition and gratitude. If you do this tour, I highly recommend bringing some cash for the guide and the driver. The time and schedule was so lenient that even after this 11 hour daily trips they would suggest us in spending some non touristy places just to hangout in the evening. Must visit activities other than the iconic landmarks like Pyramid and Grand Egyptian museum would be to chill by the Nile river by felucca. Try to do this activity in both Cairo and Luxor. I would highly suggest this company for the complete planning of this trip with legit Egyptologist and coordinated private travel. They really have good contacts in the airport services as well which helps you in clearing even immigration so smoothly.

Our group was assigned with Yehia who is amazing at his job and very well knows how to handle your concerns. Ibis will give you good vehicles, their guides know people from inside too so you can access places faster sometimes. All in all we had a great experience.

A Truly Wonderful Family Adventure in Egypt, Seamlessly Arranged by IBIS travel!

5.00Our family of three (myself, my wife, and our daughter) just returned from an absolutely incredible 6-day journey through Cairo, Giza, and Alexandria, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. This trip, booked through IBIS travel, was made truly exceptional by the fantastic team who guided and supported us every step of the way: our brilliant guide Bassam, our efficient trip leader Yehia, and our skilled driver Sayed. From the moment we landed, the logistics, as arranged by IBIS travel, were seamless. Sayed and Yehia were there for our family's airport pick-up, providing comfortable and safe transportation for us throughout the entire trip, starting from immigration to the final drop-off. Sayed's professionalism and reliable driving were a constant comfort, especially navigating the bustling city streets and the longer drive to Alexandria. We always felt safe and well taken care of on the road. Our guide, Bassam, was simply outstanding. His knowledge of Egyptian history, culture, and archaeology is vast and he has a rare gift for bringing it all to life in a way that was engaging for all ages. Exploring the majestic Pyramids of Giza with Bassam explaining their construction and significance was awe-inspiring for all of us. He expertly guided us through the incredible collections of the Egyptian Museums (truly needing multiple visits to appreciate it all!), sharing fascinating details about the artifacts that captured our daughter's imagination as well as ours. Even the unique underground history of the Catacombs of Alexandria became captivating through his insightful commentary. Bassam wasn't just a source of information for the adults; he was patient, approachable, and always happy to answer our daughter's questions, tailoring his explanations to make the history accessible and interesting for her, making each site visit truly memorable for the whole family. Behind the scenes, ensuring everything ran smoothly for our family was our trip leader, Yehia. Yehia was the linchpin of the trip, handling all the arrangements, coordinating timings, and making sure our itinerary flowed perfectly. He was always available, approachable, and his organizational skills were top-notch, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the experience without worrying about the details. His presence made the entire trip feel effortless and stress-free, which is particularly appreciated when traveling with family. This 6-day itinerary provided a perfect blend of iconic landmarks and historical depth. Visiting the Pyramids and Sphinx is a bucket-list item for a reason, and seeing them with Bassam's guidance was unparalleled. The museums offered an overwhelming wealth of ancient treasures, and the trip to Alexandria provided a wonderful contrast with its Greco-Roman history, highlighted by the intriguing Catacombs. These sites offered fantastic educational and awe-inspiring moments for every member of our family. In summary, this trip, organized through IBIS travel, exceeded all expectations for our family. The combination of Bassam's expert and family-friendly guiding, Yehia's flawless organization, and Sayed's reliable driving created a truly five-star experience for all three of us. If you're planning a trip to Egypt, especially as a family, and have the chance to travel with this team provided by IBIS travel, don't hesitate. They are professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely dedicated to ensuring you have the trip of a lifetime. Highly, highly recommended! Thank you Bassam, Yehia, and Sayed for an unforgettable Egyptian adventure for our family, and thank you to IBIS travel for putting together such a fantastic package!
Excellent and memorable.
