How do we pick a good reputable Egyptian based tour company ? We want to book an Egyptian Tour Company that has a good reputation and is reasonable for 8 days and 7 nights with one nite in Cairo, see the Pyramids, take the sleeper train to Aswan / Luxor take a good cruise to all the monuments/sights including Abu Simbel, take the train back to cairo see the Egyptian Museum and Hung Church... and then leave that evening on our flight back home. We would need transfers to / from. We looked at these companies but we don't know what their reputations are : Delta, Memphis, Wedjat, GAT, Best Way Travel, banna-tours, Champion tours, Hours Tours. What are your experiences with these companies and would you recommend another good and reasonable company for the tour we want to take ? We thank you.

Hi stephenchris.

I was in same situation last year
iIget offers from many travel agents from Egypt

Frist advice i could advice you to use local agent as they are much cheaper
i already posted my review last year ,you can ready it here: Egypt Trip

My wife and I traveled to Egypt with Ramsestours in february of 2009. It was a 10 day trip including 4 days of cruising on the Nile.

The whole Egyptian experience was fantastic. I was absolutely gob-smacked with the pyramids and all the temples especially Abu Simbel and Karnak. The Nile cruise was fabulous and the food was to die for. we had the best time, saw everything and made friends that I hope we keep forever. I am 56 and everyone looked out for me especially the tour guide. So, don't ever think you are too old for one of these trips as I'll never forget how great it was.

I can not speak highly enough of the service that I received from ramses tours.

Mr josef in customer service walked me through the whole process, answering questions, explaining options and offering suggestions. he was patient, friendly and knowledgeable. he did everything from motel and connections to seating arrangements - wonderful.

Once we were done, she even went through the whole arrangement again to verify and to put me at ease.

To save money, we had three flights to get to Cairo. Ramses tours made one minor change after the package was booked. They sent three e-mails and the airline representative also reminded me of the change.

I could not have ask for better service - Thank you, we had a an outstanding vacation and Mr josef took the stress out of the equation.

Finally, be careful not to drink the water in Egypt OR use it in any way, e.g., brushing your teeth. Don't even eat washed veggies or fruit. All but two people on our trip ended up with a touch of King Tut's revenge. Bottled water is the only way to go.

Enjoy your trip tp Egypt ! I absolutely enjoyed mine!

Dear Mr. Larry Leones,
I thank you so very much for guiding me through this process of selecting a tour and that Ramses tour was so wonderful and outstanding to you. Your trip sounds so wonderful----I can't wait to see all these incredible wonders of the world first hand. If you please, what price range would we expect to pay for a good tour so that I have an idea of what to expect ? Again thank you so much. Steve.

Hi All

I am travelling to Egypt next week (Sept 27th 09). My trip is predominantly a dive one and will spend three glorious weeks in the Red Sea.....does anyone know how to get to Marsa Alam?? There appears to be very little info on the area particularly transport and services....I intend to dive with Eco dive but it's difficult to get any info even from the dive resorts. I am travelling from Cairo and would prefer not to fly....any ideas??

Cheers Matty
