“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.”

“Splendors of Egypt is less a vacation and more of an adventure, and I highly recommend you ask for the tour guide Hanna. Always full of energy, optimism and passion, Hanna spent hours working with tour guests to make sure we had everything necessary. On our tour, there was one woman who had trouble walking, and I watched as Hanna spent her own money to make sure this guest had a wheelchair for the Cairo Museum. Before you go, I recommend reading up on historical attractions. Egypt's pyramid's, temples and natural wonders are devoid of any informational signs or guide posts. Pack plenty of bug spay/suncreen and be prepared to get up early if you want to avoid the hot sun of afternoon. An optional tour, the hot air balloons over Luxor is definitely worth every penny. The food is great, if your big on meat and desserts. Egypt is a Muslim country, but alcohol was everywhere.”

“We loved our trip to Egypt! Tarek was an excellent guide. He has a degree in Egyptology and showed and taught us so much! Besides seeing so many amazing sites, we enjoyed the cruise on the Nile. Because of tight security in Egypt, we always felt safe. We would recommend this tour to everyone, especially if your guide is Tarek.We loved our trip to Egypt! Tarek was an excellent guide.

“My husband and I really enjoyed this trip to Egypt with our guide Henri! He was knowledgeable in Egyptology. We saw the most significant sites and learned history as we traveled. The cruise on the Nile was relaxing and balanced longer days of walking.”

“Hosam was very accommodating and ensured everything go smooth and safe. Our guide Fouad demonstrated his complete knowledge of Egypt's glorious old dynasty with interesting stories to tell. It made the entire journey fun and enjoyable. (12/21/2017). A winning TEAM.”
