I just returned from Egypt after 12 days of touring with Your Egypt Tours. This was a once in a lifetime adventure made all the more wonderful by the incredible help of Your Egypt Tours. I started planning the trip in early March with the exceptional help of Ms. Mona Hamdy. In the next 20 days and after messaging the tours over at least 15 emails I had my trip arranged. Mona answered each and every query quickly and efficiently and made many suggestions to enhance my trip. Upon arrival at the Cairo airport I was met by my Your Egypt Tours facilitator Mr. Ahmed. He met me at arrivals with a sign with my name on it and immediately helped me through everything to acquire my visa at take me to my van for transportation to my hotel. Can't say enough good things about our driver, Mr. Mamdouh. He ferried my around Cairo for three days of my 12 day journey without any kind of problem. Which, because Cairo has just crazy traffic and drivers is quite an accomplishment. YET had booked me into a Nile River view room in the Kempinski Hotel in Cairo. Strongly suggest you stay in this hotel. Superior in every way. Huge rooms with great views. Great, helpful staff. And a really wonderful breakfast buffet which was included in my rate. On my first morning in Cairo I was met in the hotel lobby by my guide Mr. Mamdouh. And again had my driver from the night before, Mr. Mamdouh. So I had an easy time remembering my driver's and guide's names as they were the same. I was taken on my tour of the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx as well as the step pyramid and other pyramids at Djoser. Mr. Mamdough took the requisite touristy pictures of me at each site. And he took me to a wonderful restaurant and suggested I try the stuffed pigeon. I really suggest you try this if you have never had it. Yummy! The next day I was taken to the airport for my flight to Aswan to board my Nile river cruise by Mr. Ahmed and our faithful driver Mr. Mamdouh. Again I was helped through security and given my boarding pass by Mr. Ahmed. Upon arrival in Aswan I was met at the airport by my guide for the next 8 days. Mr. Ahmed. See a pattern here? Two Mr. Ahmeds and Mr. Mamdoughs. Mr. Ahmed was a font of knowledge about everything Eqypt. From each temple, to each tomb, to the history of every where we went, he explained it to me. When I told him I wanted to try different Egyptian dishes he arranged it. I really wanted to taste camel and he arranged for our driver to take us to a great restaurant overlooking the Nile which had a wonderful camel dish. No matter what my request was, he worked hard to make it come true. We did many things not on the tour simply because I asked. Stopping at local markets, getting hot bread on the side of the road, no matter what, he was agreeable. In the 8 days, I had many drivers but all were excellent. I can't say enough about how wonderful Your Egypt Tours was. They made this trip into much more than I had ever imagined. Choose this company and you will be happy. Truly. And one note: Mr. Ahmed in Cairo arranged an incredibly fast Covid test for me so I could board my flight back to the US. A worry I had that was handled beautifully to easy my mind.cherylwalker9347

All the tours recommended by my organizer. From the Giza Pyramids in Cairo to the Valley of the Kings in Luxor. Our tour guides Emad and Mamdouh made our tours exciting and wanting for more. They were both attentive and made us feel like more than clients. We were treated like part of the family and that was the special part of our whole experience. Mona was the BEST start of this whole adventure. We haven't meet in person, but from the day I showed my interest into coming to Egypt, it's like she knew what I wanted and she was with me all the way answering all my questions, making adjustments and making sure all I desired was met. Mona, you are truly a Gem. Ahmed who was what I call our Concierge made us feel like Royalty as we stepped off the plane. He was there to call and rely on literally 24HRS a day throughout our whole stay. I invited my friends to accompany my husband and I on this monumental trip and YOUR EGYPT TOURS MADE SURE THEY DELIVERED ON WHAT WAS PROMISED. I will NEVER forget this wonderful adventure. I plan to revisit Egypt and I know MY EGYPT TOURS is who I will go to time and time again. I would like to send special special thanks and appreciation to: MONA AHMED EMAD MAMDOUH PETER RAVID OSAMMA LOVE EACH AND EVERYONE ONE OF YOU.......THE JAMAICAN CREW SENDS THEIR REGARDSNeverWait

First, I would like to thank Mona for her quick, patient & considerate arrangement for the whole trip. I was traveling with my husband & my in laws (dad 87yrs old less mobility) You Egypt Tour provide my dad with a wheelchair without any additional charges. Although the trip/tour was a bit hard ( some area can't use wheelchair, sand was too soft) our tour guide, MAMDOUH so patiently n helpful throughout the trip. Of course, credit also goes to our lovely driver (ops, I forgot his name, I'm sory) who drove us all around & dropped us as close as possible to the attraction. We visited the Great Pyramid, Sphinx,Giza, Memphis & Sakkara. The trip was awesome & incredible. In between the tour, we were brought to a local restaurant for the local food, it was yummy. We felt very safe traveling with tis company. Don't hve to worry about anything. Overall, this trip was well organized, I highly recommended tis company. Once again, thank you, Mamdouh for looking after us. We appreciated it.MNSQ575

I booked a day tour of the Giza Plateau, Memphis and Saqqara through "Your Egypt Tours", and it was one of the best things I have ever done, and very reasonably priced. I've wanted to see the pyramids since I was very young, and my tour guide, Mamdouh, made it a great experience. The driver and my guide arrived at my hotel promptly at 7:30 AM and we took off for Memphis. I immediately felt at ease as the driver navigated the Cairo traffic in a safe, responsible manner in a van that was clean and comfortable. Mamdouh, whose English is excellent, described some of the sites we passed during our ride. We visited Memphis, Saqqara and the Giza Plateau. Since I was on the tour alone, Mamdouh took some great photos of me, so I could show all of my friends where I had been. I was so impressed by everything I saw on this trip, its something everyone should try to do. I followed Mamdouh's suggestion and took a camel ride at the Giza Plateau to get a different view of the pyramids. That was another great idea that he had and it was something I would not have done if not for his recommendation, and I am so glad that I did it. My friends are still laughing at the pictures of me on the camel with the pyramids in the background. During the tour, Mamdouh mentioned that they also have an evening tour of the City of Cairo. Since I was having such a great time, I immediately said "Let's go." That was a fun. We took a sail boat ride on the Nile, stopped to have tea at El Fishawy (a great old coffee and tea shop in the central market of Cairo), walked through the central market and visited the old stone wall that surrounded Cairo in the olden days. The whole time Mamdouh was able to answer all the questions I had about what we were seeing and he pointed out some really interesting sites. As an aside, before the trip I was a little concerned about being an American tourist in Cairo, but I felt very safe and everyone I met was very kind and helpful. Again, what a great day! I most highly recommend hiring this group to take you on a tour while in Cairo. I hope to return and I will definitely hire them to take me to Luxor and Alexandria. Mamdouh, thanks again for a great time!!tbguycanada

I would highly recommend Your Egypt Tours to anyone seeking a safe, friendly, professional and reliable tour company in Egypt. I would like to give special thanks to my tour guide Taha who did everything possible to ensure a fun and worry-free tour to the pyramids of Giza, Sakkara, Dashur, and the Sphinx. The time spent at different locations was very flexible, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and personable. At no point in time did I ever feel rushed, and I always felt that I could easily talk to my guide who really did care about making the day as enjoyable and personalized as possible. Traveling with this company I felt safe as a solo traveler and did not feel like I had to worry about anything. There were countless opportunities to stop and take good pictures, which was made even better as Taha was always interested in helping capture some awesome memories. When I come back to Egypt in the future, I will definitely be looking to do more traveling with this company and my favorite guide. A lifelong dream had always been to see the pyramids, in which case and I am very thankful that I chose this company and had Taha as my guide.
