I was so pleased with this combine trip, first part was a group trip from Hurghada to Luxor and second part was a private trip from Luxor to Aswan and Abu Simbel. Our guide and driver were outstanding : knowledgeable, friendly, safety-conscious, and had great sense of humor.
The guides Raafat and Sultan were all the time alert and monitoring my every step, when I took the train in opposite direction, they immediately help me to come back on track and continue the trip in time.
I will highly recommend your company to those who inquire as you exceeded all expectations.

We went to Luxor, Cario and to Hurghada's Marina. Rafaat was really patient with us(beeing a 13 persons grup) and also he made sure that we have every thing we needed. He did a really great job telling us storys and answering all of our questions about pyramids, faraons, with a very clear and calm spoken english. He planned the trip for us to avoid crowed places there for we were ahead or behind the other grups.
It was a really pleasent experince and I hope that I'll be back soon!

5/5 Full day tour for our final day in Egypt even with a drop off to the airport included. Again Rafat was great on the organising and kept in touch - especially when we had to change hotels at the last minute he made sure that our guide knew where we were. Picked up promptly the next day by Hamdy (our amazing English speaking guide) and our driver who took us to the pyramids, sphinx, lotus oil factory (we came out smelling amazing!) a wonderful lunch with views of the main pyramid and ended at the museum where we folks have spent all day - it was incredible. Will be back to Egypt again soon and wills not hesitate to ask Rafat to help organise!

Egypt Tours helped me in organizing a trip for 21 of my friends (for around 10 different nationalities). It was totally customized for them and catering different needs. I had amazing support from Mr Rafaat and team. Everything was amazing, super flexible, organized and very responsive. We had to change the plan a couple of times and Mr Rafaat managed to incorporate all amazingly ! Thanks so much. I would highly recommend.

Raafat was our guide for a week long Nile cruise on the ‘Nile Dolphin’ Dec 16-23 2019 taking in many of the classic sites between Luxor and Aswan including Valley of the Kings, Hatsheptut, Karnak, Philae, Edfu and Kom Ombo temples. Rafat’s knowledge of the ancients and their customs was both extensive and accessible with his relaxed, informative style conveying a lot of information in a short period of time enabling us to have a positive experience during each visit. Much more info was at his fingertips if anyone needed more which he was only too happy to impart. On a practical level he catered for all the needs of our group which was fairly diverse and did a great job in trying address issues which were outside of his immediate remit and control and problem solving in a very reassuring and confident manner. Our family of 4 enjoyed the whole experience which included Rafat giving up some of his spare time to accompany us around parts of Aswan one evening. Highly recommended for future trips!

Great service provided by Rafat arranging the tour and flight tickets. Khalid our driver was on time picking us up going and returning to the hotel. Hamdy our tour guide was amazing and very knowledgeable throughout our time at the pyramids, sphinx and Egyptian museum. The whole day was amazing and only one hour flight to Cairo.

Very nice experience. To see all these wonders of the world it is really magic. Specially when you have such a good Guide like Mr. Mamdouh. Also special thanks to Mr. Rafat who helped us a lot by booking this trip for us with just 3 hours before departure and many many other things he did for us to make it possible going in this trip. Thank you Rafat and wish you best of luck in your career!

Amazing experience- one day trip to Cairo exactly as we wanted it, organized to perfection. Rafa does a brilliant job. He came right on time to pick us from the hotel, the vehicle was in pristine condition and the drivers were great guys. His English is flawless, information provided is precise and well-dosed. He knows his way around and ensures the trip is a marvelous experience. His choice of a restaurant for lunch is by far the best. Overall, a wonderful trip thanks to him. I wholeheartedly recommend his service!

We booked a day trip with a privat car from Hurghada to Cairo, at our hotel. Raafat was our guide for the day. His English is fluent and he has a lot of knowledge about the history of Egypt. He made our trip very interesting and pleasant. As a guide I absolutely recommend Raafat!

When thinking about visiting Cairo, my main problem was the lengthy bus ride. I can't sleep on the bus, and the idea of reaching the pyramids drowsy and grumpy wasn't very appealing. So Raafat, who always finds solutions to any problem, suggested to go by plane.
The organization was spot on, having the driver and Raafat pick us up at the hotel and taking us to the airport, with Raafat sending a photo of us to the guide in Cairo, and then meet with our guide Hala at the Cairo Airport. Upon our arrival back to Hurghada, the driver was already waiting for us, with Raafat on the phone keen to learn what we've experienced.
Hala is extremely bright and well educated, acing the Egyptian history and with a diploma on hyeroglyphs. First, she took us to Egyptian museum. One would think that without the famous mummies (who were moved to a different museum at the beginning of April), the museum would have lost all the appeal. However, Hala overwhelmed us with information on the artifacts displayed, charming us with stories about different kings and gods.
After visiting the museum, we experienced the highlight of our day: lunch at the rooftop of a restaurant overlooking the pyramids. The view was just astonishing, it was the first time in my life I've experienced the word breathtaking in full. I needed a few minutes to grasp the fact that I'll be eating chicken and rice by the pyramids.
Hala suggested doing a camel ride around the pyramids to the Sphynx. That was another wonderful idea. Although it feels at first you're falling off the camel any minute, you soon get used to bumping and start enjoying the captivating view.
Afterwards, Hala was open to suggestions and took us to a high-quality perfume store and a store with different 100% cotton wears.
The people in Cairo are a lot more respectful than in Luxor. In Luxor, the agressive, uneducated peasants can literally attack you with their junk and requests for tips, whereas in Cairo they take no for an answer and move away.
My recommendation is to let Raafat organize your trip to Cairo. I promise you won't be disappointed.
