“The tour to Egypt was a truly wonderfully experience, well paced and excellently executed. Henry, the informed tour guide did an exceptional job in balancing the needs of the diverse clientele, from accommodations to addressing accessibility needs. As a rather independent traveler, having the flexibility to do a I pleased in the context of an organized group was truly liberating. The guides suggestions, and attention to detail were truly exemplary. Egypt's treasures were wonderfully accessible, and provided glorious opportunities for full engagement. The Egyptian people were warmly welcoming throughout the adventure, and provided the best possible climate for enjoying the journey. At each point, the adventure felt safe and open. Exploring each city was truly enthralling, with opportunities to mix with local citizens, fellow travelers, and the monumental grandeur that is Egypt! Cedric”

“We just got back from Egypt a few days ago. This was our second smarTour trip and we were very happy with pretty much everything. Our guide, Henry Ayoub, was very knowledgeable and personable. He was alot of fun to be with and a very kind person. Our accommodations were excellent and the food was very tasty. The cruise on the Nile River was the highlight of our trip!! The ony negative was that on a couple of days, too many activities were planned and we were exhausted.”

“The tour to Egypt was great. I felt very safe and the tour director was amazing. I would highly recommend this tour. I would suggest that Smart Tours add to their literature that Egypt has a prefence for American currency though.”

“This was our 5th tour with Smartours. Recent tour was "Splender of Egypt". Our tour director, Randa and several local guides were all excellent guide, in Both informative and educational. Security guard were very nice and very helpful many ways. The coaches and hotel were great 4* -5* Fantastic itinerary, Nice Nile river cruise, The Memphis & Sakkara tour, Abu Simbel, Balloon ride at Luxor were well worth it. Smartours is a great value. We enjoyed very much. Thank you.”

“The tour was very informative but it became exhausting at some point. The worst part was the fact that once we arrived we hit the ground running and were not able to rest for almost 24 hours. A lot of the sightseeing was scheduled back to back. We were all feeling sleep deprived and extremely tired! Some of the on the go meal boxes consisted of mostly bread. For the most part my trip to Egypt was amazing! The guide was extremely informative. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Money well spent. The hotels were phenomenal! Loved the cruise!”

“I loved this trip, to see such Antiquities and our tour director Amuir was fabulous! The Nile River Cruise was outstanding and really helped to make this trip. The boat and crew would wonderful! Only thing that would have made it a 5 star trip was if we had been informed of such early wake up calls, one being at 1:45am! None of us were prepared for that news! If I'd have known in advance and "bought" into it I would have felt better about the early wake up calls, which there were several, but 1:45am was ridiculous. I would have also like to have been informed by SMARTOURS in advance that if we were not planning on going to any Mosques for touring personally then Shorts and T-Shirts are fine to wear due to the heat. Amuir assured us when we met him that night, comfortable shorts and and modest t shirts would be acceptable since we were going to Sightseeing venues with other tourist. Thankfully I'd spent a few days in NY City prior to leaving for Egypt and had "a few pairs" of shorts with me and T-Shirts, it sure helped make the trip/heat bearable. LOVED this trip and everything we saw and did! Melinda”

“Our 10 days in Egypt with Smartours was amazing. Our tour guide Hanna treated her “Lovely Pharaoh’s” as if they were family. She made sure we were well informed on the day’s events and historical sites. The tour is fast paced and full of activities’ from the beginning to the end. By the way, this was my first guided tour and it was fantastic.”
