maria teresa c2025-05-15Verified Wonderful Egypt, phenomenal tourist agency. I spent 10 fantastic days around Egypt with my family. A memorable holiday: unique places in the world for artistic and scenic beauty. A millennial culture that would not take a lifetime to know. We spent 5 days in Cairo (with day trips to Alexandria and the oasis of El Fayoum) and 4 days on a Nile cruise, cared for with care and precision by Essam Ali and all his collaborators. We didn't have to worry about literally anything. Our every wish has been fulfilled, at no additional cost. The guides (all speaking excellent Italian) were nice and friendly, ready to give explanations and insights, seasoning everything with anecdotes and joking remarks. We have never had to wait too long for entrances to attractions, thanks to the excellent prior organization of ticket purchase guides. Good hotel standard in Cairo (with pool) and Nile Cruise. Transport and internal travel took place in a minibus (brand new and spotless, with air conditioning) of 12 seats exclusive to the 5 of us, by plane with flag carrier, by night train (there you have to adapt a bit, but it was still an "interesting" and comfortable experience). We also very much appreciated the excellent assistance at the airport on arrival and departure for the processing of visa paperwork and controls. THANK YOU EGYPT BEST VACATIONS! we had been to Egypt before but never so well. I recommend this agency to everyone because I have never felt so good, as if I were at home. Tosca D2025-05-14Verified Ten out of ten experience If I had to choose one word to describe our trip with Egypt best vacation I would use WOW! They were really kind and available in every moment of our trip, managing to accomplish all of our requests in a very short time. Believe me, 5 stars are not enough to review them. If you want to travel to Egypt, this is the best company you could choose!!! Riccardo O2025-05-13Verified A flawless journey An unforgettable journey through Egypt! The tour was perfectly organized, with a knowledgeable and passionate guide who brought every site to life. From Cairo to Aswan, every detail was flawless. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience thanks to an outstanding tour operator! Simona C2025-05-12Verified Great experience! Our Nile Cruise on the Dahabiya was amazing. The boat staff took very good care of us and did everything to make us feel comfortable. Our guide, Khalaf, was very prepared and accurate in every step of the journey. We expected a guide but we found a friend! We really enjoyed our staying, thanks to Essam for the excellent organisation. Fabrizio B2025-05-10Verified Great value for money Very good value for money, lovely guide and great van service. Highly recommended for Cairo and for family wanting comfort and safety Elena S2025-05-02Verified Beautiful experience in dahabiya We booked a 3 night dahabiya cruise from Aswan to Luxor. We were on the smaller boat and in the end it was a private tour as it was just the 4 of us crew and guide. Everything was perfect from start to finish, the boat the program and the food. The guide, Essam, is a very knowledgeable Egyptologist and speaks perfect English. The staff of the very kind ship, one evening they taught us their dances while a group of musicians played on board. From breakfast to dinner we ate the best food of the whole holiday in Egypt (being an Egyptian company we always ate local). The cook also managed to improvise a great birthday cake for me. We sailed from Aswan to Luxor alternating visits to archaeological sites with relaxation on board, compared to motor ships navigation is slower and crowds are avoided. Although more expensive than classic cruises, I would highly recommend it to fully enjoy the experience of sailing along the Nile Khadija Kumayl2025-04-27Verified 3 beautiful days on felucca Actually it was a 3 days, 2 nights felucca cuise from Aswan to Kom Ombo. I was travelling with my son (23 yo) and we enjoyed it very much. The Nubian sailors were absolutely kind, the boat was simple but comfortable and relaxing, food very good, landscape beautiful. Our guide was not the best, but he is not the only one. The best part of our travel to Egypt! 130Terry2025-04-12Verified Beyond expectations While planning a trip to Egypt that suited us, we found Egypt Best Vacations website and contacted Essam. We easily agreed with him all the details of the itinerary and made the small changes that we chose. For fifteen days, from the very first moment to the last one in Cairo airport, we felt welcome, safe and well informed by the different people from the company we met. Our two guides, Osman (Cairo, Alexandria, El Minya, Adydos and Dendera) and Ahmed (Luxor Aswan and Abu Simbel) were wonderfully nice and knowledgeable, gave us good insights in historical and present Egypt, didn't push us to go to shops, were always ready to helps us personalise our trip. They let us choose (which tombs to visit in the Valley of the Kings and the the Valley of the Nobles, Medinet Habu instead the Valley of the Queens) and gave us good advice on local restaurants and spots to go in our free time in the evening.This trip has exceeded our expectations. We have had a memorable experience thanks to the two guides, to Essam, who organized everything and made sure everything was OK during the trip, and to the drivers who efficiently ad safely drove us to all the destinations. Honestly, we highly recommend Egypt Best Vacations to anyone wishing to visit Egypt. Just tell them what your tastes are, and be sure they will do their best to make your dreams come true. psxsimo2025-04-09Verified Wonderful cruise and cairo tours We do both the Nile cruise and later three days in Cairo, this tour was amazing with a perfect organisation. Both the two guides were fantastic! They knew everything about the history of ancient Egypt but most importantly they welcomed us as friends, telling us about the traditions, habits and customs of a wonderful people! Big hug to Omar who brings for us his mom’s homemade biscuits, delicious! Scenic063507347752025-04-04Verified An Unforgettable Experience with Essam! Our tour with Essam (the founder of EBV ) was absolutely fantastic and truly unforgettable! From the very beginning, he was incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming—immediately putting us at ease. His warm smile, genuine kindness, and clear passion for what he does made the entire experience both enjoyable and enriching.Essam is not only highly knowledgeable, but he also has a remarkable talent for sharing information in a way that keeps everyone engaged—including children. He brought history and culture to life with fascinating stories and thoughtful insights, making every stop along the way meaningful and memorable.His patience, professionalism, and enthusiasm never wavered, and he made sure everyone in the group felt included and comfortable throughout. We couldn't have asked for a better guide. If you're looking for a tour that's both educational and fun, Essam is the one—highly, highly recommended!
