        10 day Egypt trip worth every penny!
        Your Egypt Tours put together a perfect package for my husband and I so we could do everything we wanted to do on a trip of a lifetime. Ahmed, the owner, was patient and responded quickly as he and I worked together to put the perfect trip together for us. We did Cairo (pyramids, sphinx, old Cairo, and Coptic Cairo) and a 4-day Nile cruise (Aswan to Luxor and everything in between), as well as three nights in Hurghada (a resort on the Red Sea, which included camel riding/ATV riding/spider car riding in the desert, snorkeling, and just relaxing on the beach). It was a lot to pack into 10 days, but it was perfect! Our guide, Mamdouh, and our driver, Johnny, were beyond excellent! In fact, they became like family to us :-) Our guide, Ash, on the 4-day Nile cruise as well as our go to person in Hurghada was great too and fun to be with. Our representative, Tommy, in Cairo went above and beyond to make sure the whole trip was comfortable for us. He even made sure my traveling pants were clean after getting dirty and dusty the day on the rides in the desert we did at Hurghada at the end of our trip. A couple of highlights on the trip for us were the hot air balloon ride over the valley of the Kings and going INSIDE the great pyramid. We will never forget those experiences. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure our trip was amazing. We can never thank them enough. ❤️

        2-week trip with teenagers - flawless guidance by YET
        I booked a private, 2-week tour of Egypt with Your Egypt Tour (YET) in October 2024. The preparation of the trip was very smooth, YET was very helpful in adapting the trip to their public - myself and 2 teenagers. Top moments for us were: camping in the desert, visiting the GEM in Cairo, visiting the temples in Edfu and Luxor (and many others) and the Valley of the Kings. As for the guidance during the trip: it was flawless. General questions were answered within minutes by the ever charming Peter Mamdouh, the lovely guides both in Cairo (Mamdouh Ismail) and Upper Egypt (Mamdouh Youssef) were experts in their domain and adapted their stories to the teenagers. The team's goal was for us to have an interesting, safe and happy holiday, and they succeeded 200%.

        Amazing 4-Day Nile Cruise, Highly Recommend!
        Our 4-day Nile Cruise, hosted by Your Egypt Tours was a truly amazing experience. This was all thanks to our private guide, Ash. Ash was not only highly knowledgeable in Egyptian history, but he was also very passionate about his work in tourism and making the Nile journey unforgettable. Ash spoke great English, and throughout the course of the 4 days, he went out of his way to ensure we felt safe, comfortable, and that we had a wonderful time. The cruise, on MS Farah, was fantastic. The service was top notch, the food was delicious, and the views along the Nile were breathtaking. Ash was present at each stop along the Nile journey, once we disembarked the ship, to hand-walk us to every ancient temple and attraction, and to deliver a compelling story on ancient Egyptian history. If you are thinking of travelling to Egypt, don’t pass up on booking this tour. I can personally attest that Ash will deliver on a remarkable and unforgettable experience for you and your family or friends.

        Third Fantastic Trip with Your Egypt Tours. My highest recommendation Possible!
        My Brother and I did a 10 day private tour visiting Cairo, Abu Simbal, Aswan, Luxor and other sites. Everyone associated with Your Egypt Tours was absolutely fantastic! Ash, Menha, Peter, Johnny & Mohammad are very professional and wonderful people. This is my 3rd Trip to Egypt using Your Egypt Tours and highly recommend considering them if you are traveling to Egypt.

        8 day Tour of Egypt
        Do not travel without Your Egypt Tours! Egypt was and has always been on my bucket list of top destinations to visit. Your Egypt Tours delivered on their promise to introduce me to a fascinating time in history. Mona did a wonderful job in helping customize our own trip itinerary. Then our tour guides of Mandouh and Peter in Cairo , Ash in Abu Simbel to Luxor brought Egypt to life with their knowledge and passion. They individually took care of us and made sure we had a wonderful time. I highly recommend Your Egypt Tours and ask for Mona, Mandouh, Peter and Ash. You will not be disappointed.

        50th Anniversary Trip to Egypt
        Great trip. My second time to Egypt using Your Egypt Tours. 50th anniversary trip to Cairo and Luxor and a 4 night Nile River cruise. Mona was great in reservations and her English is better than most Americans. Great personal guides, drivers, etc all provided by YETs. Would use them again in a heartbeat. PS......we encountered no safety issues in Egypt during our whole trips. Americans are welcomed (just as Mona assured us it would be).

        Marvelous time in Egypt
        Visiting Egypt had been on my family's bucket list for a few years now. We usually like to explore cities on our own, but knew we needed help on this destination. We worked with Mona from Your Egypt Tours over email to create a custom experience for my family which includes 2 teenagers. They helped us customize itineraries to cover the places we wanted to see in the most efficient manner. Our trip included Cairo, Hurghada, Luxor, Aswan and Abu Simbel. Transportation was flawless in new comfy minibuses. guides were very knowledgeable and spoke perfect Spanish, and we felt very safe throughout our journey. Overall, we had a marvelous time

        Amazing local Food Tour in Cairo at night with great local guide
        I was not feeling well the evening we went on this tour, but our guide worked with us to bring some amazing local Egyptian foods to us to try. (It was Ramadan so the City was in a festive mood after dark, but we never felt unsafe. So although we did not walk as much as we would normally would have, our guide was very accommodating and friendly, and we felt well-served. I think this tour is a must for anyone who wants to experience how the "real" Egyptians eat and live. We learned about some foods (like Koshary and falafel) and various meat sandwiches that I will try to recreate at home. I can't rate this tour highly enough! Be adventurous and take this tour!!!

        Worth the extra money if you are really interested in learning about pharaonic history.
        This tour was exceptional in all ways. Mamdouh has a great depth of knowledge and a passion for history. He knew all the places to go and was able to show us some remarkable, less visited sites. The bus was comfortable and our driver an estute navigator of Cairo traffic.

        Amazing Cultural Experience with a warm and friendly team!
        Your Egypt Tours was AMAZING! They took care of us and made sure that we had a fabulous time! Our guides - Mamdouh in Cairo and Ash in Luxor and Aswan were great! Mamdouh esp was great with story telling and captured the attention of our three boys! Johnny our driver in Cairo was warm and friendly with a smile on his face all the time.. and Ahmed - who was helping us with our airport transfer and pick ups - was super helpful and friendly! Ali and Mona who helped us create the iternary did a fabulous job and took very good care of us! We were in Egypt for about 15 days - from Cairo, to sharm, the Nile cruise and back to Cairo / Alexandria. We did black and white desert with them and kids had a fabulous time! It was an adventure and we learnt a lot. They had lot of patience and were very attentive to our needs- esp out three boys - aged 7 and 10! Our boys celebrated their 10th bday there and they added a boat ride on the Nile to celebrate with a cake! It was awesome! We were initially hesitant as we were not sure how safe it was to travel there in Dec 2023/ Jan 2024 but it was perfect. They all took good care of us and made sure we had a wonderful time! I would highly recommend them for your trip to egypt!
