I definitely recommend this itinerary! If you are first time in Egypt, you would never regret to be with Explore Plus! From the moment of reservation, Salah helped me in every way so my trip could be arranged thoroughly. From the arrival and to the departure, including all the transports, I felt very safe within every moment even I was solo female traveler! You will be guided and leaded with somebody in every moment, so you can be safe enough. Of course the additional tour was very expensive, but if you are in group, it would be reasonable because it would be private tour with your own guide. All the guides were professional and had lots of knowledge through all Egyptian history. TBH, I didn't expected much within this vacation to Egypt, but Egypt became the best country among the 52 countries that I have been! It is all because of the detailed and abundant explanations and descriptions of the guide. I learned a lot and was very impressed in every moment! They were also flexible, and adaptive to my schedule and situation. It felt very comfortable in everything with them. It is your turn to experience Egypt, believe me, Egypt will be much more colorful with them!

Just has a wonderful Botswana safari experience thanks to eXplore Plus! We cannot thank them enough: their service was first class, and the choice of lodges, and order of visit, was just perfect. We stayed at three different lodges, and each one was different, but all were fabulous in all respects. I would particularly like to mention the care and attention paid to our dietary requirements – vegetarian and gluten free. The kitchens even made special gluten free bread, muffins and cakes. Also, we left a hat at Savuti and mentioned this at our next stop (Xakanaxa), and the staff followed up and organised for it to be sent on. It was waiting for us at the hotel in Maun – duly washed and packaged. This was really kind and caring - beyond expectations! A wonderful holiday from start to finish!

I don't normally do tour packages but Egypt has a lot of sights spread out all over and internal travel can be fussy. This tour company is one of the few to offer El Minya, and that drew me to it (always wanted to see Ahkenaten's intended tomb). The package is flexible and has optional bonus tours, many of which I did. In each area (Cairo, Minya, Upper Egypt) you get a different guide and all of mine were great, particularly my Upper Egypt guide. You can add additional days in Cairo at start or end which is good because most of the add-on activities are up there. The best add-ons that I did were Alexandria, Dashur, Abu Simbel and Philae). Extra days and add-ons for me was about $1000 USD extra, but I did most of the ones they offered and had four extra nights. The vast array of sights I got to see, spanning 5000 years of history, was totally worth it. If you are looking to see LOTS of Egypt but feel intimidated by planning it yourself, this is an excellent way to do it. Strong recommend!

We did a very good tour to Egypt with a good company with a good team helped us all the time starting with Mr Salah..all guides and drivers specialy Mo Sobhy in Cairo who we firstly met him. We also liked the way they organized the tour and all the details...we really liked Egypt and certainly we would like to visit it once more...Hotels were nice specially in luxur Cairo is very busy and crowded city but we liked what we visited there...the weather isn't so bad. Bakshesh is so common in this country... the food is wonderful... Finally we really recommend this tour and visiting Egypt in general with this company..

Mo Sobhi our tour guide was so knowledgeable and accompany us all sailing cruise ship from Aswan. The land tours were super informative. We were all glade me and my husband with two teenagers son and daughter. We highly recommend the 12 days mysteries and amazing Cairo and Nile cruise.

We (mine – husband – two daughters) are enjoying the tour with Explore Plus, Our Cairo guide was Mo Sobhi another guide join us all sailing cruise for 4 days besides 2 nights in the Luxor land hotel. All were very good leading the tour during our trip to Egypt, therefore I recommend Salah. I enjoy his tour and he was very patient very fast responded with clear information. Everything went on schedule and we didn’t have any delays, We are especially happy with our Nile Cruise guide Rocky as all called him. He was very informative, polite, and considerate. The only thing is that we could have been informed more about extra tours we could have made during our free time. I realized after my arrival back in Istanbul that I could have seen more especially in Cairo. Definitely recommend. if you want to visit Egypt choose the tour company explore plus and ask for these guides... Sorry I forgot to thank the driver Kaled or Khaled he accompanies us all tour even he join us in Luxor and Hurghada

An excellent experience! We started in Cairo and took the Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. Our guide was very accommodating and had so much knowledge about the history of Egypt. We visited all Luxor and Aswan important monuments specially Philae temple of Isis. Huge Karnak temple and amazing Ramses II temple in Abu Simbet Salah director of Explore Plus Holidays was so helpful, He all time was chatting with us by mails and whatssapp. Their guides in Cairo and Nile cruise were acknowledge, Mo Sobhi in Cairo and Rocky in ship were providing knowledge and experiences throughout!

We had a great experience in Egypt with our guides Mohammed in Cairo, and Rocky (Ragab) in Aswan and Luxor. Both were very knowledgeable in ancient Egyptian history, and modern culture. They spoke great English and answered any questions we had. I would definitely recommend them, along with Explore Plus to anyone interested in seeing the real Egypt.

Had an absolute great time, saw so many amazing sites, and had experiences we won’t forget. From initial correspondence everything was professional- with very quick communication via WhatsApp and email. Everything was taken care of without any issues. Our vacation was planned out perfectly with a personal guide and driver—had no Concerns. Guides were great, full of information not only about ancient Egypt and modern Egypt. They give you the best recommendations on extra side trips, where to eat, customs of the area etc Drivers were professional, on time, and safe. Lodging was nice and meals were more than enough to satisfy most people Highly recommend this tour company and this tour. Five stars.

If you want the best in tour guides ask for Mo Sobhy. His enthusiasm for the history of Egypt was infectious. He brought the past alive with every explanation. He was always open to questions and ready to change the venue at a moments notice. Also his English was very good and understandable. Mo truly brought out the best of our tours. We highly recommend Mo Sobhy.

Upsides: -the WhatsApp contact was available every time we needed it -there was always someone to pick up you at the airport -the guides are people who know about the topic Downsides: -on behalf of the agency, we have been pushed to write a good review in this website in front of one member of the staff (which, as you can see, we have rejected) -all the excursions are in a rush (you could only expect to spend a couple of minutes in those gorgeous places to "take a picture" as if that were the only thing that matters) -read carefully what is included!!! Some of the most important sight-seeings are not included (like Abu Simbel, Karnak and Luxor temples) -when it says "tipping is not included" it translates as neither your driver nor the guide are properly paid (even though the excursions are pretty expensive). They will be completely pissed off (and they could also apply pressure on you) if each person doesn't give at least a couple of dollars per attraction to each of them. THIS IS NOT THEIR FAULT!! IT SEEMS THEIR CUT IS RIDICULOUSLY SMALL COMPARED TO THE BENEFIT THE AGENCY GETS!! -we were exhausted of trying to be persuaded of booking as many activities as they could fit in our schedule (they made us feel we were not allowed to say no) -even when there was never time enough to enjoy the attraction we were at, they would always find a gap to set you in a shop for a demonstration of either parfum, stones, whatever... in order to press you for buying stuff It's a country in which many people are in need. We would have preferred to spend much more money in tipping if we wouldn't have been robbed by the prices of the agency as we feel we have been.

My wife and I had a fascinating time discovering Egypt. The tour company was great, professional with outstanding knowledgeable guides. Sadly the boat for the cruise was tired, desperately needing re-paint and without a soul, lacking attention to detail and so many things needing to be fixed, eg: it took me four tries before I could find a sunlounger that was not broken. Still, we had a great time, thanks to our knowledgeable tour guide Antoun (Tony) and the magic of Ancient Egypt. We highly recommend this tour operator but make sure that you don't sail on The Nile Dolphin. The other irritating point was the constant request for the expected large tips for the daily drivers, tour guides and anyone else we had to deal with... a constant pain. The highlight of our trip was the Hot Air Balloon ride in Luxor...sensational and memorable!

Fabulous timee with Mahmoud. He is very knowledgeable about history, culture, architecture, and present day issues in Egypt. He is mindful if iur comort & safety always. He knows many hidden gems. Please ask for him to show you Egypt!!! Jim & Ging Philadelphia PA 23 Dec 2019

Fun an knowledgeable guide. Very personable. I learned quite a bit about Egyptian history and did some 'kung fu fighting'with Tony. 🤣🤣🤣 My gf and I had a great time in Egypt. I would definitely recommend hiring Tony as your guide.

Antoun was a very knowledgeable guide, bringing us around Luxor and Aswan and in between. Filled us with a lot of historical backgrounds and good to know facts that made us appreciate the culture of egypt.
