So much more than just a tour ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Egypt Best Vacations – So Much More Than Just a Tour! We have just completed an incredible journey through Egypt with Egypt Best Vacations, and I cannot praise Essam and his team highly enough. From the magnificent pyramids of Giza and the treasures of Cairo to the temples and tombs of Upper Egypt, our experience was fascinating, beautifully organised and filled with unforgettable moments. One of the main reasons we chose Egypt Best Vacations was their Dahabiya Nile cruise. I had spent considerable time researching companies offering this wonderful experience, but almost everywhere I looked, a Dahabiya was only available as an expensive private tour or charter. Egypt Best Vacations offered the opportunity to enjoy a Dahabiya as part of a small group tour, at a group tour price. This was exactly what we had been searching for! Our three-night cruise was an absolute highlight. Sailing along the Nile on a beautiful traditional boat, away from the enormous cruise ships, was magical. With only a handful of cabins, the experience was intimate and relaxed, with attentive crew and a wonderful atmosphere. We enjoyed all the charm of a private-style Nile cruise without the expense of chartering an entire boat. We were particularly fortunate to have Essam personally accompany us as our guide during this part of the journey. His knowledge of ancient Egyptian history, his enthusiasm and his willingness to answer our endless questions made the temples and tombs come alive. What impressed us most, however, was the personal attention. Essam was always approachable, accommodating and genuinely interested in making sure we enjoyed our holiday. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble, and his thoughtfulness continued right through to the end of our stay. It is these little gestures, often completely unexpected, that distinguish an excellent tour operator from an exceptional one. Our guides, Hassan in Cairo and Abdul in Alexandria, were excellent. Both brought history to life with their knowledge, professionalism and good humour. We must also give special thanks to Sayed, our wonderful driver. Reliable, helpful and patient, he was an absolute pleasure. On one of our final excursions, he even pointed out historical landmarks along the way, including the ancient aqueduct, the Citadel and important mosques. These little moments added another dimension to our experience. As Australians travelling a long way from home, we particularly appreciated having people we could rely upon. Egypt can be an overwhelming country to navigate independently, but knowing Essam was only a message away made an enormous difference. There is a world of difference between a company that simply sells you a tour and one that genuinely cares about the experience you take home. Essam and Egypt Best Vacations belong firmly in the second category. We leave Egypt with wonderful memories, a much greater appreciation of its extraordinary history, and enormous gratitude to the people who helped make our journey so memorable. Thank you, Essam, Hassan, Abdul, Sayed and the entire team. You made our Egyptian adventure something truly special. Five stars, thoroughly deserved! Justine and Pieter – Australia

Fantastic 8-day private tour of Egypt – highly recommended! Fantastic 8-day private tour of Egypt – highly recommended! We recently returned from an amazing 8-day private tour of Egypt with Egypt Best Vacations, and we couldn't be happier with our experience! Our trip included Cairo, Aswan, Abu Simbel, a 3-night Nile cruise, Luxor and Giza. Everything was organised in advance, including domestic flights, hotels, transfers, transport, entrance tickets and private guides. From the moment we arrived, everything ran smoothly. The drivers were punctual, professional and reliable, and the whole trip was very well coordinated. A special mention goes to our guide in Cairo and Giza, Mina, who was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He made our visits particularly enjoyable, sharing interesting information and answering all our questions. We were also very happy with everyone involved throughout the trip, including our guides, drivers and airport representatives, who helped make the whole experience so smooth and stress-free. Cairo Airport was quite chaotic, but having a representative from the agency there to assist us made the process much easier, and we really appreciated their help. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and felt well looked after throughout the entire trip. Everything was very well organised, allowing us to enjoy Egypt without having to worry about the logistics. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Egypt Best Vacations to anyone planning a trip to Egypt. Highly recommended – definitely 5 stars from us!

Egypt Best Vacations is aptly named We spent 10 days in Egypt with our friends. The entire trip was coordinated by Egypt Best Vacations. From the beginning, the communication was superb. We felt like we were coddled throughout the trip starting with Tarik who met us at the airport and facilitated and expedited the immigration process, to Karim who drove us safely everywhere around Cairo. Our guide Abdel was friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about Egyptian history, and made our experience very enjoyable. Seeing the pyramids in Giza, and visiting the new Grand Egyptian Museum was spectacular. We then flew south to Upper Egypt where Ahmed met us and guided us from Abu Simbel to Aswan and ultimately on our Nile River dahabeya cruise to Luxor. Kamal did a great job driving us in Upper Egypt, and we felt extremely safe along the way. Ahmed’s knowledge of Egyptian history is astounding, and he could easily be a professor on the subject. The entire trip was curated and coordinated by Essam who even came to meet us in Luxor, which was such a friendly gesture. We loved our Egyptian experience, and would absolutely recommend Egypt Best Vacations to anyone who is considering a trip to Egypt. There is no question that if we wanted to visit Egypt again, we would use this company and the entire crew again. This was a top notch company with top notch coordination.

Wonderful Experience Our tour with Egypt Best Vacations was truly an unforgettable trip. It was extremely well organized from airport pick up and drop off to getting us to every destination on a luxury bus. Our tour guide Essam was kind, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and friendly.

Trip of a lifetime! I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this experience! From the moment we arrived in Cairo to our time in Luxor and four unforgettable days cruising the Nile River, every single detail was exceptional. Our incredible tour guide, Essam, and his associate, Ali, went above and beyond to make this journey extraordinary. Their knowledge of Egypt’s rich history, attention to detail, and genuine care for our safety and comfort made all the difference. The accommodations, the staff, the organization, and the seamless coordination of everything were absolutely outstanding. They even arranged unforgettable extras, including private ceremonies and a hot air balloon ride over Luxor, making an already magical experience even more special. I can say without hesitation that this was the best trip of my life. Egypt is a remarkable place, but experiencing it with this team took it to an entirely different level. I would recommend this company over and over and over again. Truly the trip of a lifetime!
