Wonderful and amazing place for staying. Price is also reasonable. I am so much satisfied with it's service. Every staff is very friendly and professional. They always took care of us. Thank you all for your good services.
We had lovely experience learning all about the Pharoahs and their beautiful and culturally rich history of the ancient Egypt. It was a journey like no other. We learned a lot about the Pharoahs, their very intriguing gods and their love for creating marvelous architectural wonders. We had with us Mr Khaled as our guide and egyptologist, who is a very sweet and knowledgeable person. Since it was our honeymoon trip he made sure that we felt special and helped get us special deals. The entire trip was very well organized and handled,including the transfers to and from the hotels and boats. The cruise boat that we got was a little old and was showing its age. The food in the boat was strictly average. Anyway, I would very much recommend this trip.
Everything was well organised, I had a great time! We were on our honeymoon. Our trip guide, Khaled, made some sweet special arrangements for us. He’s generally a pleasant and helpful person. The cruise boat we were on was comfortable, but not as well-maintained as the other ones around, and the buffet was just okay.. I’m not sure if the boat itself is tied up with this tour provider. Overall, I had a good trip, and I’m glad I chose this way to see the sights of Egypt! Disclaimer: be prepared to wake up super early almost everyday!
I’d like to say that Khaled was my tour guide for this wonderful Egyptian Nile cruise experience. He provided the best knowledge and hospitality. Every day all the plans were organized with the group from the night before through WhatsApp. He made sure the time of the plans was okay with everyone and that people were not lost and that they had a good time. Also he checked up on the group if their cabins were good for them. The experience on the Nile and the temples and towns we visited were one of a kind. I would recommend anyone that wants to visit Egypt to definitely get the Egyptian experience through a trip like this.
I will start off by saying my guide khaled was very hospitable and organized on this tour. He planned out everything for us and kept everyone informed about the plans through WhatsApp and texts. The tours were very good, enjoyed all the destinations and the service. He provided us with great insight and knowledge about Egypt and the ancient Egyptians. He made sure everything was taken care of. The cruise was very clean and comfortable, the rooms are nice and the staff are kind and helpful. Food was great and the view of the Nile and the different temples was breathtaking. I would recommend this if you are interested in this sort of trip.
Good food, great locations, and the boat rides in the Nile were lots of fun. Mr Talaat was a good guide with great explanations and good jokes.
The views on the ship deck along the Nile are memories that you’ll cherish for the rest of your life!
Our three days cruise in the Nile, from Aswan and Luxor, as amazing. Everything contributed to a memorable experience: the temples, the Nile and its atmosphere, the visits and the wonderful people.
Overall I enjoyed the tour. Our guide did a very good job and we enjoyed having him with us. He provided detailed information at each of the sites we visited. During our last visit he provided lunch from a local restaurant that he knows. The food was great and was one of my favorite meals as we ate it on the small boat as we sailed on the Nile.
Michael is a very knowledgeable and caring tour guide. He did a great job every day getting us to all the sights. I highly recommend him as a guide. We had an amazing trip and learned so much about Egypt. This tour has busy days but you will explore many sights. The optional Abu Simbel trip and hot air balloon ride were awesome!
5 stars are not enough to rate Magdy! He is a 10/10 guide! He made our whole day, very organized, very kind, fun and overall an amazing tour and person to have. The guide was wonderful he is extremely knowledgable and very smart, he knows everything! I am very happy we got to have him in Aswan, he comes highly recommended! 🌞
Nile cruise. Very good cruise. Excellent food and service. Clean. Our guide Khaleb was great ! He manage with all kind of group interests. He is very unknowledgable of Egypt culture. Very kind and super friendly ! He could arrange our schedule perrfectly !
Khaled was great and very nice! The entrance fees summed to be a large additional cost though. Not many other options for things to do. Either pay or sit on the bus. Khaled is awesome though!
Khaled was a great guide on our Nile Cruise. He gave us many different options for activities that were more or less expensive because we told him we were students and needed to save money. He is very knowledgeable. He was very helpful and was always there if you needed something. The whole 8 day tour was a little unclear on pricing and there were a lot of added costs for tickets to enter temples and to do other activities, the additional prices need to be written out so you know exactly how much you are going to spend.
Our trip to Egypt fulfilled every expectation. UTO and their guides Hamada & Joe& Tamair were surburb in every way. Hanada was extremely knowledgeable,a well educated Egyptologist and kind. He planned every detail and we were able to see everything! The trip was very organized with attention to details. We felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip. The Nile River cruise was fabulous! We were able to take additional trips to visit the Nubians. Loved the hot air balloon ride! The food and bazars were plentiful. I would not suggest the overnight train -take the flight option if available-this trip was a once in a lifetime adventure and I highly recommend UTO and Hamada our guide!
My whole tour was excellent, all tour guide were very knowledgeable and helpful and Khaled was looking after me in Luxor exceptionally well.
Our family had a great experience with Talaat Abdo. He was so welcoming, friendly, amusing, and so knowledgeable about Egypt's history. The schedule was packed with not much down time but it was worth every minute. This trip to Egypt was once in a lifetime and we wanted to see everything we could before heading back home. I would recommend "Tata" as your tour guide!
Ayman the driver from the airport in Cairo was fantastic, he picked me up from the airport and was my driver for 2 days in Cairo and Giza . I was with him and the tour guide Mohammed for the couple days in Giza and Cairo. They were both amazing ! The tripe to the pyramids and museum were all delightful! Great service ! Highly recommended!
Our tour guide— Sam is super professional! He waited us up patiently at the airport. Knew that we are exhausted from the long haul flight and asked us to get some rest in the car. When we arrived in our hotel, he helped us to order our late lunch/early dinner by suggesting some local delicacies to us. The next day was a full day tour just as what we have booked earlier. 8am sharp we can see him driving us to Sakkara, drew some superb pictures and attracted many other tourists to listen to his explanation about Ancient Egyptian history 101, visited the Great Pyramids with some wonderful camel rides. Let us tasted some of the best falafel in Giza. The next day morning right after our breakfast we started our tour to the Coptic sites and the national Egyptian museum by showing us some significant pieces of artefacts. All in all, I just could not express enough how much I love about him being our star tour guide. Really felt pampered like a queen. Superb tour accompanied by the awesome tour guide Sam. Highly recommended!

We're really excited about this opportunity to visit Egypt ancient sites starting in Giza and pyramids and Museum of civilizations with our guides Muhammad and Islam then all the way to Aswan for Abu Simbol temple and philae, the high dam .our guide Sherif was so knowledgeable with indepth historical information. Then back to Luxor by train. We enjoyed a hot air balloon ride with fantastic aerial views. Then the great Karnak Temple and Valley of the Kings.Next day we visit Luxor Temple before Back to Giza by night sleeper train. We extended our stay for another two nights to visit Alexandria Citadel and Roman Catacombs with our fantastic guide Islam. Tasting seafood and enjoying the coastal view. Next day we have to say goodbye for our friendly staff at the hotel and special our driver and guide Islam Zizo who was with us on every step day and night. What a fantastic journey. Tourradar is again up to their fame.
Khalid our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Egypt. Very punctual and good communication. Would love to come back in the future to Luxor.
Amazing your in Luxor! Khaled was a fantastic host. He was warm, very impressionable, and very friendly. His historical knowledge of the ruins and sites was impeccable due to his vast experience over several decades. He will take you to his favorite place for a great authentic lunch. I highly recommend a tour with Khaled!
The experience was excellent!! Having Khaled taking me around Luxor was terrific; he makes you feel comfratble, especially as a solo traveller who has never been to Egypt! He also knows excellent places for food!
My favorite part of the trip was sailing down the Nile. It’s a great scene and a once in a life time experience. You can’t miss Luxor either
I wish I could tell you that the best things about this trip with Best Holiday Egypt were the amazing sites and history that I saw, and they were amazing, but the best part of the trip was all the people along the way. Peter and his team are amazing! My guides (Abdul, Michael, Mohammed, Samy, and Khaled) were all extremely knowledgeable, friendly, humorous, and genuinely cared about me as a person and a customer. My driver around Cairo and Giza, Islam, was helpful and extremely friendly. In the downtime between tours and catching the train to Aswan we went for koshary and the hung out at his neighborhood coffee shop and played Tak (Egyptian rules backgammon), which was an unexpected highlight of the trip. The whole team answered all my questions, helped me out when the were any issues, like trying to figure out a quick turnaround COVID test to fly out. I had a great time in this trip and know you will too!
It was an amazing trip! First of all in the Pyramid Planet hotel, where Peter and gis staff make you feel as at home, very friendly and helpful, they try to meet all your needs, and if they can, they do it. The trip was veey well organized, we had very good guides: Ashraf and Khaled. They are very professional and show you the country in such an interesting way that will never forget it. Thanks, Peter, the guides and the staff in the hotel. You made a dream from our trip! We will be back!
Khaled was our guide in Luxor he acommodated our specific needs. He was friendly and help me with travel requirements.
This by far was the best tour we could have taken. Our driver Islam and our guide Muhammad are the best!!! I rarely leave a review. I’m not from this generation but I’ve gone out of my way in order to match the extra effort givin to me
We loved the tour! Amazing guides and drivers all wanting you to have the best time. Kaheld was our guide for the Luxor to Aswan cruise. He is very knowledgeable about Egyptology. Abdul was our guide for 2 days in Cairo. He was very knowledgeable about the mosques and religions of Egypt. We felt very taken care of from the airport all the way through the 8 day tour.
Khaled was our guide on the Nile cruise. He did a great job taking us to the temples and explaining our history. The cradle of civilization.
This tour is awesome! I’ve learned so much about Egyptian history, and culture! Thank you Khaled, for being knowledgeable, professional, patient, and kind!
Kale is the best tour guide EVER I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him and his service. He is very passionate in the history of Egypt. Love Love Love him. Thank you
Very kind, helpful and knowledgeable guide able to provide additional information and assistance as desired.
Egypt Best Holidays is truly the BEST! Perfect for American and western tourists visiting Egypt for the first time or repeat travelers. Everything about this trip from start to finish was AMAZING. Great, knowledgeable local guides, clean private cars, courteous drivers, and 5-star accommodations. PERFECT for small groups, solo travelers, or families. I loved the private car (no tour buses), exclusive access, upgrades, English speaking staff, and lots of additional excursions to choose from. If I needed anything on my trip all I had to do was ask. The customer service experience was OUTSTANDING! Every one of my guides was local. They were so informative, professional, polite and REALLY eager to help. The management team checked in daily to make sure I had a good experience. They provided other options, upgrades and feedback. So AWESOME to work with seasoned professionals. I’ve taken private tours all over the world - this is the best one yet! I am looking forward to coming back, but only with Peter, Khaled, Hany, Rafa, Mina, Ayman, Markus, Eslam, and everyone at Egypt Best Holidays. Jon - Arizona, USA

This Tours was a great trip from door to door, Once we were picked up from the airport and our guide Rafa was so helpful, We loved the view of the hotel in Giza, Tours for the Pyramids and Luxor were fantastic, The Nile Cruise was really beautiful and relaxing, we enjoyed it very much !!
Everybody in the hotel is extremely helpful and they were even able to accommodate for all wishes that we had throughout the trip. We especially enjoyed the Nile cruise as part of this tour.
The hotel is located in Giza and has a great view of the Pyramids. Awesome service and help provided by Peter and the team all throughout the trip. The Nile trip was the highlight of this trip in an excellent cruise ship with great services and amenities.
