We used Planet Tours for our 13 days Egypt tour in Feb 2025, their agents picked us up from the airport and stayed till the end of our journey till we checked out from Cairo.
Their guides in Cairo, Aswan and Luxor were very knowledgeable and stayed with us till end of the day. I specifically liked our guide Hanny who took us to Old Cairo City Tour and Michele who took us to Giza Pyramids and Sphinx.
There are few things I did not like about Planet Tours:
1. They have a very long day starting at 3am to 8pm, you have to wake up at 3am to catch a flight or a bus to get to Aswan and Cairo, once you arrive at your destination by bus or air (usually 6 hrs from start to finish) they do not take you to the hotel for rest, instead they force you to take the assigned sightseeing till end of the day. This is extremely tiring because the day starts at 3am and ends at 7pm when you come back to your hotel and get up again at 3am next day.
2. Daily Schedules are not given to you in detail till the Guide shows up the morning tour. You have no idea where you are heading the next day till you meet the guide in the morning. This is very confusing.
3. In Luxor and Cairo, they should allow more Hotel times rather than keeping you in the bus or the cruise. It would be better to get more time at hotels.
Overall tour was extremely hectic due to tight schedules if they adjust this, I will give them a 5 star rating.
Guides are reliable and friendly no complaints.
Hotels are good with good food, no complaints.
Flights were good, no complaints.
I will give them a 3 star review because of Hectic Tour Schedules and less time in Hotels. You are constantly on the go.
