Our group had a wonderful and spectacular moments in Cairo Egypt with Empire travel. Weβd been excited so much by seeing the histories of an ancient Egypt and also the way of life of modern Egypt. Moreover, local guide took the good care for us throughout the trip. Shkran.

I would like to thank everyone in Empire travel agency team specifically Peter and sherouk who organized our trip and planned a perfect itinerary for us across Egypt. Our tour guide, Sherif, was very knowledgeable and friendly and we had amazing time and learned a lot about ancient Egyptian history from him. He made our trip to an unforgettable memory. Our driver , Mr Abbas was a truly nice and calm gentleman. I would definitely recommend Empire travel agency to everyone who likes to have great time and fun experience in Egypt. My greatest regards.
A tour was organized for us based on the input we gave and it exceeded our expectations. The tour bus along with an exceptional driver and a knowledgeable tour guide picked us up from home at 8:00 am sharp as agreed. Tour guide was helpful, knowledgeable and fluent in English. My brother in law and his kids donβt speak Arabic so this was critical. We first went to the pyramids and throughout the ride it was smooth and full of helpful information. Karima was the tour guide and Abbas was the sweet driver to move us around. Karima took us to a great spot to eat with a close up view of the pyramids afterwards. We then went to the good markets in Khan el Khalili and helped us navigate the busy streets and stopped at great vendors on the way. Karima was very personable and super sweet with my two young nieces (first time in Egypt). The whole trip was simply awesome and I would highly recommend it. 10/10 would repeat.
I would like to thank the entire team at Empire travel. We spent months working closely with them on organizing a customized itinerary for my family, which spanned across Egypt via road and air travel over 22 days. Peter was personally involved in many of the interactions and provided great guidance to us. Our driver, Tony was a great companion for many of the trips. As well as all the other drivers we used throughout our visit. I can honestly say that our trip could not have been as memorable as it was without empire travel. We canβt wait to visit and we will definitely use them and recommend them to our family and friends.
An incredibly responsive and professional company. I could honestly say that our trip to Egypt wouldn't have been possible without the use of empire travel. They coordinated all aspects of our stay and transportation. Looking forward to working with them again.
WhatsApp makes the communication prompt and clear. Everything was well organized and went smoothly. Their service is excellent!
Our favorite part was having someone there to focus on the planning so we can focus on the experience and vacation. Our driver Mr. Abbas & our tour guide Ines were great.
Great experience Friendly and professional staff Made our lives super easy Flexible to change according to our needs Highly recommend
We made a full tailor made tour with full package : meet and assist , drive , and french speaking guided visits and hotel booking Evey plan and meeting done with kind support and flexibility and on time. Thanks
Travelling with Empire Travel was exceptional. They were very helpful and made our days much more comfortable and enjoyable. We did travel Cairo, Aswan and Luxor. We experienced so many different and enjoyable things with them. So that I must thank first our lovely tour guide Mohammed and then our office handler aka our travelling angels Haidy and Sherouk. If you really want to travel and understand Egypt I highly recommended you to choose Empire Travel. You won't be regret.
We had a wonderful ten days private tour. I will not spend many words about it because I would only repeat the words of the other people that gave the highest mark of quality to this agency. I want just thank our guides, Ahmed in southern Egypt and Hossan in Cairo for their competence and care, our driver Anthony, for the care and punctuality and for driving smoothly, and our office handler Sherouk for being always helpful. We came back from Egypt with at least four new friends, and this is a plus to our trip.
We spent a week in Egypt and it was the best trip we have experienced, thanks to Empire Travel and their team! We were recommended by a good friend who connected us with Peter. It was our first time in Egypt and we were excited and nervous. We scheduled a call with Peter from the beginning and he answered all our questions and concerns. He was very transparent with how the private tours work and made us feel comfortable booking with them. I also appreciate how he checked in on us to make sure we were comfortable and if we needed anything. Haidy also made sure everything was smooth and organized from the beginning to the end of our trip. She was very organized in planning out the itinerary and got back to us quickly when we had questions. She also checked in to make sure we were comfortable and everything was okay! From day one at the start of our trip to Cairo, we were greeted kindly by a Rep from the agency. Our drivers, Mr. Abbas and Ayman, were very kind and warm and they made sure we got to our destinations safely. My family and I will never forget this trip especially the amazing and kind guides, Inas Refaat (Cairo) and Maria (Luxor). We felt like weβve known them for so long. They were very knowledgeable, warm and made us feel welcome, and were professional. We also felt very safe the entire trip. Everyone was friendly and welcoming in Egypt. We felt like we were home. Everything was very well planned and organized even when we wanted to make some changes to the itinerary the team was very accommodating. Inas also made sure that we made the best out of our time there with just a week. We are just very happy with how much we learned, and all the history Egypt has to offer, but I truly believe that when you have really good guides who are passionate about what they do and a travel company that offers excellent service, it just makes the whole trip and experience wonderful and memorable. I highly recommend the agency and canβt wait to go back to Egypt!
We were there for three weeks. Our travel was a minimum of eight people and we wanted seamless, safe, clean transportation. Empire provided this in an efficient way. We had the mini bus right from our arrival at the airport and used it to travel between Cairo, the north coast, all the way to Marsa Matrough, ein Sokhna, and back to the airport again. The drivers were always courteous, able, and on time. The bus fit us all comfortably, was immaculately clean, and also took all of our luggage easily. The company also provided a WhatsApp chat with its members included. I used this at all hours of the day and night and always got a prompt response to any concern, questions, or changes to the itinerary. This was surprisingly comforting, giving me the feeling of direct access. They were very receptive and easily able to adjust plans for added guests, changes to the itinerary or otherwise. They allowed me even to pay in any form that I needed and weβre flexible when it came to timing of payment. It was frankly a very safe and comfortable trip largely thanks to this team.
We spent a week in Egypt and all our stay was organized to perfection by Empire Travel. Our private tours were very professional with very knowledgable experts (Egyptologist Dr. Ahmed Kamal, Archeologist Ramy Ibrahim, and Victor Maged - Sharm El Sheikhβs ambassador, with the biggest heart and passion to make you feel at home). We always felt safe. They tailor our schedule to our interests and requests, and everything exceded our expectations. We visited Cairo, Giza, Luxor, Sharm El Sheikh, and Petra-Jordan. We enjoyed very much Egypt and itβs friendly people. All the Empire Travel team made us feel special and all our attention was focused on enjoying the moments, as all the logistics were taking care of. Highly recommended agency and country to visit.

Outstanding tour company. On time, respectful, and reasonably priced.They go above and beyond to give you the experience you want. We cannot thank them enough . We had an episode of COVID and never felt alone, they rearrange all the tour and reschedule all activities and connections . Peter Aziz , thank you!
We spent three weeks in Egypt (October-November) and used Empire Travel to put together an itinerary that was specific for us, with private tours and a private car. We worked closely with Peter Aziz on the schedule. Our schedule allowed us for free time to explore on our own, as as well as to visit w/family friends. We even spoke on the phone a couple of times to iron out the details. Everything worked out perfectly, from the moment we were picked up at the Cairo Airport to the day we were dropped off for our flight home. We enjoyed Sakkara, Giza, Al Khalil Market, 2-day visit to St. Katharine (Mt. Sinai), visit to Alexandria, 2 day stay in Luxor w/tours of Abydos and Dendera, before the 5 day Movenpick Nile cruise, and lastly a day tour of Abu Simbel with the stay at Aswan's famous Old Cataract Hotel. Also, the price was very reasonable considering all the tours, tickets and transfers. All throughout the three week stay, Peter was always available to add or change anything to our itinerary. We highly recommend Empire Travel. We hope to return to Egypt and use Peter's services again.
We really loved the tours with Empire Travel. There was always solid communication (both while booking, upfront and during the tour) and we had a very knowledgeable guide who spoke both English and French very well. She really went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and to teach us many things about the history of Egypt. Would definitely recommend booking a tour with Empire Travel!
Great service, wonderful staff, they truly go above and beyond. You can always rely on them, also have the best prices. Thank you Empire travel!
Thank you; trip was awesome! They went above and beyond to ensure my safety and enjoyment. One to remember!
I visited Egypt with a group of friends last month and I couldnβt be happier with their services. Tours were very well organized. We were accompanied by an impressive tour guide (Gina) who answered all of our questions about ancient Egypt and the visits. Transportation was clean and comfortable. The driver was very careful with the covid-19 precautions and there was even a plastic shield between the driver and passenger side in their minivan. Overall, Iβm very satisfied and will definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to visit Egypt! Thank you Empire!
One of the best company in Egypt is fully trusted and professional staff I recommend all of my friends to travel with them,very honest and professional travel agency.
