“Splendors of Egypt is an excellent tour of Egypt, combining learning Egyptian history and mythology along with current day information about the country. There were plenty of fun activities available such as camel riding, balloon rides, and boat rides. Our tour director was excellent. I rate this tour 5 stars out of 5.”

“What an incredible trip! We saw all of the major highlights of ancient Egypt, and things that were new to me. Our wonderful guide was there every step of the way to walk us through what we were seeing, so we didn’t need to lug around a guidebook (although we ended up getting a few books on Egypt because we wanted to know more). Having someone else handle the logistics was also a huge relief. I’ve travelled extensively in the past but always plan my own trips, and I never realized until I was on this tour how exhausting it is to deal with that. With someone else at the wheel on all the logistics, I could really relax and enjoy the trip. I was also worried about traveling in a group since I hadn’t done that before. It actually turned out to be one of my favorite parts of the trip. Everyone was so nice and easy to get along with, and it was fun to meet new people and have people to talk with and share our experience with.”

“This trip was definitely amazing. I highly recommend visiting Egypt at least once in your life. Smartours did not disappoint. Everything was well organized and punctual. Our guide Kallad was absolutely incredible. He was beyond knowledgeable, extremely friendly, and really made everyone feel at home. I would give him a 5/5 star review without a doubt. The reason for the 4/5 stars overall rating would be the fact that this was rather a large group. Smartours said between 15-25. Our group was 36 people which made it slower paced when traveling around. Please note I am 26 years old- our group was significantly older which was absolutely fine but definitely not a trip for meeting other young people. We did however meet some truly incredible people that made this experience one to remember.”

Hi Alyssa! Thank you so much for your feedback! We are delighted to hear you had a wonderful time in Egypt. Starting in 2023, all of our trips will be capped at no more than 30. With Egypt being our most popular it can often balloon into a larger group. With this new rule, many of our groups are being split into small sizes. Our average for most trips runs around 18-25. Thank you for joining us!

“This was a great trip, made especially so by our guide, Khaleed, a well-trained "Egyptologist" and a wealth of information. If the pyramids, the Valley of the Kings, the Egyptian museum and all the rest, and at a reasonable price, are on your bucket list, Smartours is the way to go.”

“My trips to UAE and Egypt (Back to back trips) did fulfilled my expectations. I needed better internet service to keep up with my bills while away from home for 20 days.”

“Excellent tour. Our tour guide is extremely knowledgeable about and has a passion for Egyptian History. He is a Certified Egyptoligst. Used play acting with our group as a teaching tool to better explain and enhance our understanding of Egyptian History. He was very professional and took time to answer all of our questions. He also made sure everything went smoothly. Very efficient.”
