Trip was excellent with the exception of having to be on a flight to Aswan after arriving in Cairo requiring we all get up at 2:30 a.m. creating a major sleep deficit right off the bat. Following that we had to fly to Abu Simbel making for a very long day. We had several people become ill with diarrhea and being dehydrated and I wonder if lack of sleep might have contributed to this condition. I did not but my partner did being up all night and suffering the following day. To repeat Tour Guide Dina Talaat was terrific! Don't know how you provide such a quality trip for so little money. Great value!

We saw Egypt through the enthusiasm and the eagerness of sharing the cultural wealth of Egypt by our tour guides Dina and Mohammad. They were courteous, always smiling and knew their subject matter well. Dina was prompt, knew her motherland, and well organized. Mohammad was always with a smile on his face, remembered our names the first day we met, made sure we checked in and out of the hotel and at the airport OK. The security guards were quiet and secluded but I always saw them out of the corner of my eyes at every excursion we took. It had been a wonderful journey for us. We felt very fortunate to be exposed to this exotic land! Shokran!

Went to Egypt with my mom and two family friends this summer and we had the most amazing time. Our tour guide, Soha, was a very nice and sweet woman (and very smart as well). This only made our trip very worthwhile and I would definitely travel with SmarTours again in the future.

Outstanding in every respect. Our guide, Randola provided us with so much knowledge and depth, it was overwhelming. At no time did we feel at risk (being somewhere we should not be), nor did we feel out of place. There was an excellent balance of activity with relaxation. Our only wish is that the river cruise be longer, it was very relaxing being on the deck watching river life. An outstanding value for a part of the world where logistics can be problematic. smarTours made it look easy, which is why this was our seventh trip with them.

I enjoyed the splendors of Egypt tour very much. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and sensitive to our needs and preferences. I suggest that a tour of a Coptic Church be added to the sites to be visited. For example, the “hanging” church is historic and beautiful and would be a welcome addition for the travelers. Thanks

Our trip to Egypt was exceptional! I learned a lot about the history of ancient Egyptian and saw how Egyptians live today. The accommodations were spectacular, and Soha was an amazing teacher and guide. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!
