This trip was phenomenal! I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to experience Egypt. I took this trip with my sister and her family, including young children. Our tour guide, Ali, was very accommodating and really made ancient Egypt come to life with his knowledge of the history and awareness of our age and interest levels. The Nile cruise, camel rides, pyramids, sphinx, Alexandria, ... all of it, the entire trip was amazing! Everything was arranged and went smoothly. I look forward to another trip to Egypt and will definitely book through Egypt Tours Club!

Egypt Tours Club did a great job organizing and structuring my trip to Egypt. I went with a group of 3 people for a 9 day trip, and we were able to completely customize our experience to what we wanted to do and see. Egypt Tours Club was extremely accommodating and easy to work with to make our stay enjoyable and care-free. We were taken care of and informed of everything from the moment we entered the airport. I would highly recommend using Egypt Tour Club for organizing your trip to Egypt. All of the tour guides were extremely knowledgeable in the areas we visited, easy to understand, and friendly. I would like to specifically recommend Mahmoud Hassan to anyone traveling to Luxor or Aswan. He did a great job, and was extremely informative, fun, and a pleasure to work with. We even exchanged contact information, and plan to keep in touch. Overall great experience, and highly recommend Egypt Tours Club.

Me and 2 other friends joined this 9 days tour with Egypt Tour Club from Dec 30 - Jan 7. Our tour coordinator, Ali helped organized everything for us as we all arrive at different times. The entire tour is fun filled with no downtime at all, I wish I can make this a longer trip so I can stay in each spot even longer! Our tour guide Youssa is exceptional! Friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable - which is perfect for a history buff like me with a million questions. He took us to local spots and got us to try local food. On our last night he was so nice to host us in his own home which we had the most amazing Egyptian home made meal ever. Definitely a great experience and and I highly recommend this company for anyone who wants to experience Egypt!

Entirely 10-day private tour with Egypt Tours Club with Youssa (Cairo and Alexandria) and Ahmed (Aswan and Luxor) as our tour guides. From the time they pick us up from the airport, they took care of everything. Super fun and very informative as they are Egyptologists. The tour already included all the transportation in Egypt, and most of the meals. We add on all the optional tours which filled us everything we want to experience in Egypt, like camel ride, hot air balloon, sound and light show, etc. The only shortfall for the trip is we sometimes have to get up super early at 4:30am, but still totally worth it. Highly recommend Egypt Tours Club.

I traveled to Egypt solo, female and felt safe with great guides. Sameh was my guide in Cairo and Alexandria and Mahmoud in Aswan-the Nile cruise to Luxor. I thought it was a group tour when I booked it but ended up being a private tour. The price was incredibly affordable It was awesome. Private cars with my guide and drive, no waiting for 50 people to get on an off. The guides were very knowledable, I learned alot about the history of Egypt as well as gained an understanding of Muslim life and beliefs - quite enlightening. I enjoyed the optinal excursions offered at affordable prices such as the hot air ballon, Abu Simbel and city tours. The different modes of transport I took a sleeper train from Cairo to Aswan, river cruised to Luxor experienced going through a Lock. Carriage rides to temples. The best thing is the guides negotiated and took care of all the arrangements. Mahmoud is Absolutely one of the best guides. Ali, the manager, always responded quickly and ensured the whole trip went smoothly, as i communicated with him on the trip and meet him. Eygpt Tours Club is definitely a 5 star company and I have referred them to my friends who are thinking of going to Eygpt.

I have nothing but high praise for this tour and tour company. If you want to experience everything that is worth seeing in Egypt, then this is the tour for you. It was well planned and very well paced. I opted for the 5 Star Hotel option and was very happy with accommodation provided. The overnight sleeper train is a fun experience and the Nile Cruise a nice relaxing break in the middle of the tour. My tour guides were Youssa in Cairo and Peter for the remainder of the tour. Both guides were generous with their time, information and very thorough with the details of each sight I visited. I have come away with so much more knowledge and understanding of this country and its history and also 2 wonderful new friends. Egypt Tours Club could not have been more helpful, and this was from the time of booking right up until my departure from Egypt. Ali was always very quick to respond to any questions and offers excellent service. This tour includes most meals, all transport and optional side tours (Abu Simbel and Ballon Ride over the Valley if the Kings) which I would highly recommend. Excellent value for the money. I cannot recommend this tour and tour company more highly.

I have wanted to visit Egypt for 36 years. Ever since I was a young boy, I wanted to stand in the shadow of the Great Pyramid, look into the eyes of the Sphinx and sail along the Nile. All the things I wanted to do, Egypt Tours Club help make them a reality. I traveled the country by car, train, plane and boat loving every minute of it. Hussein El Gabry was my guide in Cairo. He was available at every turn of my trip. His focus was to take care of me and help make this dream a reality. He was a top notch guide. Walid Maadawy in Aswan was also spectacular! He was knowledgeable and fun and like Hussein, went out of his way to take care of me and show me their beloved Egypt. The cruise boat and crew were amazing. I highly recommend including the cruise trip tour as a part of your experience. All the guides were great and were open to all of my questions. I look forward to returning to Egypt some day to reconnect with these wonderful people and the folks at Egypt Tour Club.

Egypt is a fascinating place! I felt safe with my guides, Ashraf, Mohamed and Ahmed. All of them were very informative and open! Answered all questions and everything! Everything that i saw was beautiful and amazing, the price was affordable too - I've wanted to visit Egypt since i was a little girl and finally getting to do it was astounding and a dream come true. It was worth all the wait and money saving. I can't wait until i come back to Egypt again!

Mohamed was an enthusiastic and informative tour guide. His ability to guide us throughout the tour and enlighten us on Egyptian history has taught me more than I expected to learn. He was very patient with our group of 3 and I am so glad we had him at a tour guide because he made it feel like we were being guided by a long lost friend. Highly recommended.

Egypt on its own is breathtaking but choosing to tour with Egypt Tours Club was one of the best decisions I could've made. March 2020 was not the easiest time for the world but thanks to the entire team I felt assured that the this was going to be a positive and memorable experience. Mother nature kept interfering with the schedule --e.g., Dragon Storm, but even with all the problems that arose, the accommodations were made so seamlessly it was almost as if nothing happened. Jimmy was my tour guide in Cairo and Alexandria. I'm so happy that I was able to start and end my tour with him. You can tell he is passionate about what he does. When he shares his knowledge with you, it's like you're having a normal conversation with a friend. He absolutely made learning fun. George was my tour guide for Aswan and Luxor. If he were to teach a class, I would take it just for him. I learned so much from him but I know that was only scratching the surface of his knowledge. Midway through the trip I went on a Nile Cruise with M/S Nile Dolphin. It was a beautiful ship filled with a wonderful staff. They made sure I was comfortable and on time for all the events. They even called me if I did not show up for a meal. During the entire tour, I felt welcomed and most importantly safe. I will be making a return trip to Egypt someday. I would like to add: durable, comfortable shoes are essential, everyone should experience a camel ride, do not pass up the opportunity to eat fish from the Mediterranean Sea (it's delicious!), and make sure you take all the pictures you can.

If or when, my family and/or I return to Egypt, I will go through this company again and ask for the same guides again. We had an amazing trip, filled with memories that will last my Dad, Brother, and I a lifetime. Everyone in our group would recommend this company and in particular our guides to everyone and anyone. In fact, I’ve have already recommended the tour and guides to a few friends and coworkers. This is pretty much the highest compliment that I can give being that I have to work and see these people for the rest of my life. With that said, I’ll get into more details: Our group consisted of 3, my brother, father and myself. We varied in age from 83 (Dad) to mid-40’s (my brother and myself). We also varied in fitness levels, my Dad is very spry but, he’s 83 and my Brother and I are quite active. Our interest levels also varied. My Dad and I are big European history nerds but, my brother is really interested in ancient Egypt. This was his first time out of the US and the only place he was really interested in going was Egypt. Booking: I booked our tour through the website Tour Radar and we chose the Ancient Egypt Tour Package Discovery through Egypt Tour Club. The entire trip was very last minute. I was able to pull the entire 10-day trip together within 2 weeks of departure. The company made my life easier. They were incredibly accommodating with departure and arrival dates. You want to leave on Sunday and return Wednesday, sure, they’ll make it work! This really worked well as we all have varied schedules. Sam was our first guide and he met us at the airport early as we were 3hrs early. Sam helped us all into the waiting van, at which point we began our drive to the hotel. Our hotel was located in Giza, aprox. 1 ½ - 2 hrs away. While it seamed like a long drive from the airport, once we were at the hotel and saw that we were across the street from the Pyramids, we couldn’t have been happier. The hotel, Mercure Cairo Le Sphinx, was nice, clean, and we felt safe. We were able to get in, grab a shower, some dinner and watch the sun go down behind the pyramids with a beer in our hand, life was perfect and everyone was happy. We did have a set schedule when we arrived in Cairo. Our itinerary included Pyramids, old Cairo, Alexandria, night train to Aswan, Aswan to Luxor via river cruise, then back to Cairo and out. After speaking with our guide Sam, he suggested the same itinerary but a different schedule. Sam devised a new schedule that he thought would be more convenient for us, with less early mornings. We told Sam, as long as we saw the places in our itinerary, we didn’t care in what order and that we would go with his recommendation. We’re glad we did, because looking back we would have had a few more late-nights followed by early-mornings. Sam clearly knew what he was doing! On a side note, being flexible on this trip was really helpful. We had a set itinerary, Sam suggested we change the order, we’re glad we did. Be it traffic, Cairo is crazy, demonstrations, to times the tour left/returned, things change on a sometimes-daily basis. I was a bit cautious about changing our schedule at first, maybe because you think you’re going to be ripped-off or something like that but, that WAS NOT the case, Sam knew what he was talking about. Guides: Sam & Beacher Both were excellent and different. We found both guides willing to work with us and came up with their own suggestions. For instance, we wanted little extra time at the Valley of the Kings, Beacher agreed and he was there early. We thought something else would require more time, Sam (more on him later) knew we didn’t need that much time there, he was right. Work with your guilds, both you and they want you to have the best experience! Speaking of Sam, he was awesome. Because there was a lot of pickup-drop-off’s with Sam we also had a driver (I’m sorry I forgot his name). If you’re thinking about renting a car in Egypt, as we considered, DON’T. Driving in Egypt is crazy. Anyhow, back to Sam. Sam was our guide in Cairo, Giza (pyramids and surrounding area), and to/from Alexandria. He was both interesting, funny, engaging and just a pleasure to be around. Sam was able to answer all our questions and we just had a really fun and interesting time with him. Not only was he really knowledgeable about Egypt both ancient and present, we felt that we were in really great hands with him. He went out of his way for us. One example, for our overnight trip to Aswan on the over night train, I assumed we would be just dropped off at the station (we wouldn’t have had a problem with that). However, Sam walked us onto the station, moved us away from the crowds of tourist and was even able to grab us a table at a café with a bathroom! Again, my Dad is 83 and Sam saw he needed to sit and he made it happen. Sam even waited with us the entire time we waited for the train, even stayed longer as the train was over an hour late (“running on Egyptian time” – Sam). We glad he did, as the station was crowded and several trains came and went on the same platform in the meanwhile. He checked each train and finally walked us onto the correct one before we left. He went the extra mile and we really appreciated it. When we returned to Cairo on the last day, we asked to have Sam as our guide again and, he was a really welcome face on our return. Our other guide, Beacher (please forgive my spelling if I’m off) was incredible. Beacher loves the subject of ancient Egypt and clearly keeps up-to-date with new material and research within the field. As mentioned above, I am a nerd and my Brother LOVES ancient Egypt. Beacher was able to answer all our questions and put everything into a world context. We spent 4 days with Beacher and it was fascinating. He joined us on deck of the cruise for tea and pointed things out, and gave us the really in-depth tours we really wanted. Just overhearing the guides at stops along our cruise, and their formulaic / standard speeches, really made us appreciate Beacher and his depth, knowledge, and updates on current thinking on Egyptology. As I mentioned above, Beacher had us for 4 days and the most physical part of the trip. There was a lot more walking in Valley of the Kings / Queens and general Luxor area. Beacher was always looking out for our Dad (remember spry but 83) and found him a nice shady spot for him to sit (and nap) while he took my brother and I into more tombs. He was really good at gaging my Dad’s energy/interest level. He could see it was getting hot and Dad was getting tired and was would say, “ok, Henry, you’ll want to see this tomb but, the next one is similar to the last we saw so, I’ll just take the boys if you want to sit here;” perfect! Both Beacher and Sam were really looking out for Dad, and we appreciate it! Beacher and Sam were really excellent and I hope they get to see this. My Brother, Dad and I are still talking about the trip and the great time they showed us. Lastly and a side note: for anyone reading this and something I wish I knew before we went: regarding where we stayed and how it’s advertised. The company states that you’ll stay in a particular hotel / ship or “something of the same level.” We found it odd that we didn’t know exactly the name of the hotel we were to stay in, nor the name of the ship until we boarded. I’m very use to planning trips and this ambiguity really threw me. We were asked, “where are you staying” and we didn’t know, this made my Dad and I a little nervous. You’re really buying into a level of service/amenities. Everything is given a rating and while we did stay in the hotel, they advertised in Cairo we were on a different ship for our cruise but, of the same rating. Our ship was just as nice, if not nicer, than the one that we thought we were going on. Again, you’re really buying into accommodations of a certain rating. I guess the only 2 things I would have changed was, it would have been nice to know the exact hotel / ship a day or two before we left (although everything worked fine). And, where we stayed the last night before we left Egypt. The last 2 nights we stayed in the same great hotel in Giza as we did in the beginning of our trip. It was nice and great, it was just 1 ½ hours from the airport and we had an early flight out the next morning, this made it earlier. To end this long review, I would use this company again! I would love to see our two guides again, Sam and Beacher, and I would (and have) recommend it to anyone going to Egypt. I have NO problem recommending this company again and if you do go, ask for Sam and Beacher!!

It was a great experience, something to remember forever. Yussa and Ash were our guides. Both were friendly and full of knowledge. I highly recommend this for anyone coming to Egypt

Egypt Tours Club provided the best experience in Egypt! trust me you will love it! This is my third time in Egypt with different companies and this was the best experience I ever had. Ali, the agent from ETC provided EVERYTHING that I needed in Egypt, transfers, tours, hotel, activities, PCR test, air tickets and Cruise. he was always available to answer any question I had and tailoring the tour to accommodate my needs. The Tour guide/Egyptologist Mohammed knew a lot about egypt and explained all the details on the temples and tombs in a interesting and funny way so it was not boring. If he is available ask for mohammed, you won't regret.

Since I was a children I wanted to visit Egypt and see the pyramids. Ali and Egypt Tour Club made it easy for me and my brother. We Booked everything with them. Transfer, tours, Cruise, flights and PCR test. This was my third international tour and my English is not very good so Ali, to make the trip better was able to find guides that spoke Spanish. Mohammed, the tour guide was great. He taught me a lot of the things I wanted to learn since I was a little girl. I am coming back home knowing old Egypt was greater than i ever imagined. I couldn't recommend a better company. I felt save in Egypt as a woman The tour guide and driver were vaccinated and were wearing masks. So I felt safe during these cover times.
