“A thorough representative tour from Sudan to the Mediterranean full of the best sites along the Nile. The hours were difficult to adapt to: 2 am departure; 1 am departure; 5 am wakeups. BUT for the money and breadth of experience it was WELL WORTH IT!! Not for the unfit: we counted between 10,000 and 15,000 steps per day. I lost four pounds in the trip…thank you!… education and exercise! If yiu have trouble walking don’t take this your. Parking is anywhere from 100 to 400 yards away from the temples over uneven ground. I’d do it again nonetheless!”

“Excellent value for the money. You will get to see all the major sites in ancient Egypt and experience modern Egypt too. Our guide was excellent! She was very experienced, knowledgeable, and spoke English very well. This is not a leisurely tour. Be prepared to be on the move most of the days, and experience some inconvenient and challenging situations. But it is worth it to experience Egypt more broadly.”

“What a magnificent tour! Our Egyptologist, Normeen, was so knowledgeable, telling the stories and history, and answering numerous questions from our group of 22. For me and my family, including my 89-year-old Dad, this was the trip of a lifetime, and I've been to 24 countries! Don't miss Saqqara Necropolis and Abu Simbel Temples excursions. I hope to take my grandkids on this Splendors of Egypt tour in the next few years. Am currently considering another SmarTours destination for this fall. YOLO: You Only Live Once. Do it!”

“Our third trip with smart tours was to Egypt. Every trip I am amazed at the quality of lodging, food, and itinerary, but what is truest astounding is the quality of guides! SmarTour guides are the top of their field in every country we have visited. SmarTours has been an amazing bargain! They handle every situation that might arise with top notch professionalism. I could be a spokesperson for this company…but I’m only a very pleased customer!”

“This tour was an amazing experience. I had traveled to Egypt previously on my own and can honestly say that you get 1000% more out of visiting Egypt with a trained Egyptologist as your guide than going on your own. Our tour director, Khaled, was phenomenal. He is incredibly knowledgeable, energetic and an engaging storyteller, linking the history and mythology of each place we visited so that you can see the connections across the ancient world and right up to our world today. This tour packs in a lot over a short period of time, so you really get a lot of value out of this trip. The pyramids and temples are of course truly bucket list. The hot air balloon ride over Luxor was breathtaking, and excursions off the beaten path were unique and something we wouldn't have discovered traveling on our own. The tour is well organized and all the logistics are handled for you, so you don't have to worry about anything. I definitely recommend this tour!”
