- janmB8978GQ0 contributionsReflection Travel delivers with serviceOur 8 day/7 night Pyramids and Nile Cruise with Reflections Travel was so well planned and exceeded all expectations. We were met at all airports and the hotels in Cairo were excellent. We always had a driver with our guide which made it so much easier to converse. The cruise on the Nile was on the Monte Carlo where service and food were plentiful. Worth noting, drinks were extra and the ship lacks USB ports, if that is important to you for charging your devices. We were in constanta communication with WhatsApp. Our guide in Cairo, Maior (I believe), did a great job taking us to the pyramids, museum and Coptic area. It was a full day, but we covered the main attractions with enough time at each. Abdo, our Nile cruise guide was absolutely amazing with excellent English. His knowledge of Egyptian history was incredible and his enthusiasm for sharing was infectious. He hit all the high points at each site plus more. We were given ample time to explore on our own if we wanted. He also answered all our questions and gave us insight into Egypt’s relationship with its neighbors. Very enlightening. And for those who are questioning whether Egypt is a safe place to be during these troubling times, let me just say that we always felt safe. Don’t pass this up.Written March 28, 2024
- Syloptimatium0 contributionsA wonderfully curated tour in EgyptIf you’d like to experience the highlights of Egypt, with great guides, reliable transportation, and quality accommodation, then this is for you! Having decided to take a trip to Egypt, I had undertaken extensive research before deciding on Reflections travel. Ali tailored the tour according to my preferences and I must say he did a fantastic job in choosing the right accommodation, cruise, and fantastic guides (Sam, Roshdy) who had excellent command of English for my private tour. He (Ali) was always available to communicate via messaging for smoothing out a few issues that had come up unexpectedly during the trip, and also made the time to meet face to face at one point to check in and make sure all was well which I appreciated. I’ll point out a few highlights of this trip: Upon arrival in Cairo, a representative was waiting for me as I stepped off the plane and assisted with the process through immigration/customs all the way to getting a SIM card and meeting my private driver. This was beyond expectations and made the arrival process frictionless. The Luxor-Aswan portion of the journey was really nice and relaxing. The Nile cruise Ali had selected was truly 5* and deluxe: clean, comfortable, and the service by the friendly cruise staff was faultless. My tour guide for this leg of the journey was Roshdy - he is so knowledgeable, helpful, personable, and informative, a true gem! Roshdy put in the effort to ensure I was comfortable and checked in to ensure his customer was satisfied. Clearly he is an experienced guide who is motivated in his role and always brought a positive attitude - for example when I needed something from a store, he made sure we took a detour so I would have access to what I needed. He was also knowledgeable about the sites and helped to take some really good pictures! I must also mention the drivers - I was floored by the drivers in Luxor and Aswan who were incredibly professional with very well maintained vehicles - with whom I always felt safe with on the roads (very important with the amount of time spent on the roads)!Written March 3, 2024
- Sightsee3444640 contributionsFantastic day and fantastic guideWe had a private tour of all the Cairo must see sites. Our guide “Sam” was knowledgeable and passionate about the history, and our driver was an expert in the Cairo traffic! Not only did Sam provide the information we needed but he also took care of the logistics (tickets, checks, etc) which enabled us to cover everything in the one day, important if you are short of time. I highly recommend Reflections and the private tour we took (Museum, Pyramids, Sphinx, Camel ride). They made all the arrangements and we were able to concentrate on the history and did not stress about the admin.Written January 28, 2024
- nevink7760 contributions8 days egypt tourAs a family (2 adults, 2 children), we participated in an 8-day Cairo, Luxor and Aswan cruise from Cairo through the Get Your Guide website. We would like to thank Zeinab for her excellent and dedicated work. We could reach her at any time when we encountered problems and she solved our problems. He informed us of about next day trips and the trips were well planned. Our tour guide in Cairo, Mahmoud, is also a great guide. He was kind, knowledgeable, and worked hard to ensure we had a good time. We thank him very much too and strongly recommended him who would like to visit Cairo. We will comment again later about Luxor and other days of the trip.Written January 23, 2024
- tonycU2334IJ0 contributionsA patchwork of great individual toursThe tour guides for this trip are excellent. Sam in Cairo and Barry for the Aswan to Luxor cruise are knowledgeable and helpful, going above and beyond. Truly wonderful experience with the individual tours. But be advised that this is really three tours patched together- Cairo, then the Nile cruise, then Cairo again. I found Reflections poor at communicating the logistics, and they even changed one of my travel options without telling me. The individual tours are operators are 5 star, but the poor organisation and communication from the central office tarnished an otherwise wonderful experienceWritten January 18, 2024
- christianmH9123MH0 contributionsWonderful experienceIt was a wonderful experience visiting Egypt with reflections travel. My tour guides throughout the trip were Sam in Cairo, Ahmed in Aswan, and Sayed in Luxor. All of these folks were very kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about Egypt’s history. They always made themselves available for any need I had and I’m grateful for how easy and comfortable they made the trip. I learned so much at each stop and truly got to experience the magic that Egypt has to offer. The tour company also provided around the clock support and were able to address any questions I had.Written November 8, 2023
- martin a0 contributionsBest tour ever!!Sam, our tour guide, was most knowledgeable about all things ancient Egypt. We went on a tour 2 days prior with another guide but learned so much more with Sam. My husband is a huge enthusiast of ancient Egypt and has studied and read many book regarding the history of Egypt. He KNOWS a lot!! Sam has to be on his toes and he was. He was able to answer all of his many questions along the tour and taught him many things he did not know about Egypt. We toured the pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Hanging Church, saw the hiding place of Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the Egyptian Museum. We also had a wonderful lunch included in the tour. Also our driver was excellent. We enjoyed our time with Sam so much so, we will book another tour with him next week to see Old Cairo when we return to Giza after our cruise😀👍🏽🙌🏽Written October 18, 2023

- jenniferhK3338NB0 contributionsGreat experience of a Nile River cruiseRoshdy was our guide for 5 days/4 nights Nile River cruise with a private guide. He was very good, spoke very good English and very knowledgeable in Egyptian history. It’s amazing how he could keep facts of all those gods straight. He always made sure we were comfortable and gave informations in advance, so we could plan out a day. We toured 3 places that were included in the package with another tour group a day before. So, Roshdy took us to different sites, including Dandara. Habu Temple/ Deir El- Medina which were all very nice. Of course, we needed to pay extra for these tours, but they were worth it. Another must see place is Nobula Village. Don’t miss out this one. Inhabitants are descendants of migrants from Africa and Sudan. Their houses are very colorful and it takes about 20 mins boat ride with nice scenery. He also arranged a transportation for us from the cruise ship to the airport. Thank you Roshdy for a wonderful experience. The ship was old , but clean. Food was good. Staffs were all very friendly,Written October 3, 2023
- Daydream227122530250 contributionsPyramids with SamSmall glitch on location of meeting the driver and vehicle could have been a bit more updated but still comfortable and excellent a/c for the long drive to Cairo to meet Sam. One bathroom stop along the way in a pretty nice place especially considering some restrooms in Egypt. Met Sam, what can I say? He's engaging and extremely knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. He made the day both fun and educational. Having a private van (at a lower cost than a bus) was perfect. Sam would call the driver when we'd be heading for a pick-up and away we'd go with no delay, no counting guests, etc. The pyramids were amazing as was the Cairo museum. Probably 90% of our group pics of our entire trip were taken by Sam who not only took us to the perfect photo op places but is adept at working all kinds of phones and his pics are the best of the trip. Our driver should be entered into the Daytona 500 as he demonstrated crazy skills in traffic in both Cairo and Alexandria - the drivers/pedestrians are insane. Overall an experience of a lifetime and Sam played an important part of this lifetime memory. Highly recommend!Written October 3, 2023

We knew we wanted to see as much as possible during our time there and Hasan made sure we didn’t miss a beat! He was so knowledgeable and kind and made sure we avoided lines when possible! He helped us get the best pictures for memories we’ll treasure for a lifetime! Thank you, Hasan!Written October 3, 2023

It presents us with the history of each temple, and then allows us to discover for ourselves, which makes visits really pleasant!

- ironmanllew0 contributionsSam the best Tour GuideSam was our first guide on our Egyptian experience. The first on our itinerary was the Great Pyramids, and Sam showed us how knowledgeable he was. He was very patient and gave us opportunities to make our experience memorable, such as taking us to get a camel ride and getting the perfect photos. He took is to see the Sphinx, had us experience the local Egyptian food, visit the Coptic church, and finally the Egyptian Museum. It was a long day, and Sam did his job. We'd like to add that later toward the end of our trip (i.e. after doing the Nike Cruise, seeing Aswan, etc.) we ended up back in Cairo and had problems with our flight home. We contacted Sam, and he offered his assistance if we needed it. Although we did not need him, that made us feel secure in knowing we had someone who could help us and speak the language. Thanks Sam!Written September 25, 2023
