Tina Baker Date: 2021-10-14 From: United States Tour: AROUND EGYPT IN 14 DAYS TOUR It was awonderful trip. To just be immersed in the culture, everything was so rich to be apart of this. There are no words to describe this feeling. The smells, the people, the sites, the sounds, it was all very stimulating. This is something I'm gonna carry with me for the rest of my life. Idon't think Ican top this vacation ever.It's hard to pick my most favorite Egypt sites because Inside Egypt took our group to amazing places and gave us special access to them. Ihave to say that the Karnak temple was absolutely amazing and the Giza Pyramids too, all the areas that you can go to... You can't ever imagine the places that you see. What you see on television is very different from experiencing it. Egypt is absolutely safe. Ihave never once felt at all in danger. It's 100% safe. Ihave been to so many countries and this is one of the safest countries I've been to.The service was 5-star, absolutely excellent. Everything Ineeded, Igot, and they were almost psychic, they were mind readers. Ididn't even have to ask and they would bring it for me.You have to come to Egypt. It is absolutely amazing. If you want to have alife changing experience and come back as achanged person, this is the place to come to. It is spiritual, emotional, and physical. It is avery moving country. You really need to go.
Cathi B. Date: 2024-03-18 From: United States Tour: 14 Day We just finished our 14 day tour of the beauty and history of Egypt. We felt safe and taken care of the entire time. Inside Egypt delivered on their promise of asafe and exciting adventure within their fascinating country. The accommodations and food were top notch. Ican't recommend this tour enough!
JP Brennan Date: 2024-03-18 From: USA Tour: 14 Day Egypt What afantastic trip! Inside Egypt Travel Solutions delivered on all of their promises... we had asmall group (15 in our group) which meant our private access was truly special. We had private access to the Great Pyramid of Giza, which proved to be an incredible experience. The private access made all the difference. Inside Egypt set up awell known Egyptologist to provide aguest lecture while we were seated directly in front of the Sphinx! In the Valley of the Kings, we were granted access to one tomb which had been closed to visitors for years. From Giza, to Luxor, to Alexandria and beyond, Inside Egypt made sure we did as much as possible during our 14 days, all the while ensuring our pace allowed us to fully absorb all the splendors of Egypt's history. Our Egyptologists were so knowledgeable, and carefully explained all of the sites we visited. Inside Egypt says they provide luxury, and when they say luxury, they mean it. Our stays at the Marriott Mena House and the Four Seasons Cairo were superb. Both locations were incredible and opulent. The historic Mena House grounds were like acalming oasis, and the Four Seasons was luxurious. We were pleasantly surprised when we looked out our window at the Four Seasons and realized we could see the pyramids of Giza in the distance! Our Nile River Cruise was also areal joy, with impeccable service. The ship was clean, and the stateroom very comfortable. The food throughout our trip was also amazing, both on the river cruise as well as in carefully selected dining in some fantastic restaurants. Inside Egypt did agreat job of picking top-notch restaurants throughout our trip. The most important thing to me during this trip, however, was the Inside Egypt staff! Their team guided us through the entire process incredibly smoothly. They were with us from the time we stepped off the plane in Cairo, helping us obtain our visa on arrival, until they said goodbye to us at the Cairo airport after helping us check-in and check our luggage. Our team of Egyptologist/tour guides, Hussein and Ahmed, were simply the best. Funny, accommodating to our needs, and providing asafe and fun atmosphere. Safety was amajor concern of ours pre-trip, but Inside Egypt provided an incredibly safe experience... we never, not once, felt unsafe during our trip. Honestly, the whole team was superior... from Thammie who guided us through the planning, to our guides Hussein and Ahmed, to Hosan who met us at the airport and helped us multiple times during our stay, to Mahmoud our photographer, right down to the bus driver who was without adoubt one of the best drivers I've ever seen. Isimply cannot recommend this 14-day Egypt experience with Inside Egypt Solutions more highly! It was atrip of alifetime!
Brandon Apling Date: 2023-12-27 From: United States Tour: 14 day tour dec 3-16 2023 This trip was the trip of alifetime. The tour hit everything Iwanted to see and even afew things Ihad not even heard about. The Mena House was fantastic. From the garden views of the pyramids to the food and the staff. The Nile cruise was also great. Again the staff made this. My wife has agluten allergy and both place took her by hand through the buffets to tell her what she could and could not eat. Our tour leader, Aladdin, also made sure when we ate out that my wife was able to eat and did not have to worry. The VIP private access to the pyramids and the Sphinx was unbelievable. No giant line to see the inside of the pyramid and then our group got to get right next the the Sphinx, most can not do this. Also the private tour of the step pyramid, also no open to everyone, was fantastic. If Ihad to pick my favorite part of the trip it would the entire pyramid complex day and the valley of the kings day. To be inside the great pyramid and King Tuts tomb were high bucket list items for me. Our tour Guide, AMR, was full of knowledge and not only went through the highlights at each site but if we had any questions was right there to answer them. Ihave already recommended this tour to afew of my friends who were also wanted to see these wonders in person.
GAIL Date: 2023-11-30 From: Canada Tour: 14 day tour Our 14 day tour was simply amazing and would recommend to anyone interested Ivisiting Egypt. Mustafa, our team leader, and Khaled, our tour guide were fantastic. Lots to see, learn and do and new friendships formed. Our safety was always paramount.
