Great tour guide
Alaa Hassan was our guide in Luxor, valley of Kings. He was simply excellent. Just the right amount of details, timely, good energy, took us to the right touristy shops. Excellent English. Helped us with the photos. He understood what we wanted and helped us very well in achieving it. Very happy.

Nile Cruise with perfect guide
The Nile cruise was perfect. The food and the crew truly gave their very best. What made our cruise especially memorable, was our guide, Bebo. We were fortunate to have him with us for the whole four days of the cruise. From the very beginning, he shared his extensive knowledge about every place we visited. He explained the stories carved into the walls of the temples with great enthusiasm. Whenever we asked a question, he always had an answer. And if something was not immediately clear, he patiently explained it again in a different way until we fully understood. He was the guide we dreamed of having on our trip. Whenever you book something with Nice Tours, ask for him; you won’t regret it. Thank you, Bebo, for your time, your dedication, and your knowledge. You made our cruise truly marvellous and unforgettable. We hope you had a safe journey home to your family.

Fun and Chaotic Week in Egypt
This tour was probably the most chaotic tour we have ever booked. That said, everything worked out and feel that overall, it was a great value and not disappointed in what we got to see. I would recommend this trip to others, but it would come with some caveats. The tour company itinerary online while somewhat detailed, did left gaps in certain areas that I looked for additional answers for. Although I sent them several messages through the website, I never received a response. It wasn’t until I found their WhatsApp contact that I was finally able get in contact with someone and even then, we didn’t get very good responses to our questions, we were on the verge of cancelling the tour but decided to just go with it. One of the questions that I had that wasn’t fully answered until we were on the trip was if the hotels in Luxor and Cairo were covered as part of the trip and where we would be staying. Both are covered and apparently, they don’t book the rooms until the day before. We ended up in The Temple Hotel in Luxor and the Three Pyramids Boutique Hotel in Giza. Both hotels were nice. I do know there were some from our tour that stayed in other hotels and one group even stayed on the boat in Luxor. Once we got into the tour, the communication was much better with Happy Tours as they would provide an update the night before and provide details for the next day. There were several conflicts within the information they provided which was frustrating at times. It should be noted while this trip is listed as a “private” tour this was not the case for all of it. The first day in Cairo and the last day in Alexandria was a private tour, but the time in Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Abu Simbel is all group tours of about 20-30 people. Day 1: Our tour guide in Cairo was very nice and knowledgeable, and it was overall a very good day. Our biggest disappointment was that we did not go to the Grand Egyptian Museum as advertised. We instead went to The National Museum Egyptian Civilization. While nice, we missed out on the King Tut artefacts which we were really looking forward to. Day 2: The Hot Air Ballons were FANTASTIC. We felt rushed through the Valley of the Kings but still got to see most everything. We did not have time to see any of the other tombs within the complex. We had about 30 minutes of free time at the other sites on the day. Day 3: These sites felt a little rushed as well, we had about a 30-minute intro into at each site and about 30 minutes to walk around ourselves. We felt we got to see everything, but it was rushed. Day 4: The day at Abu Simbel was nice, but the tour starts at 3:30 in the morning abord a large Coach bus to get there in time. This was nice so you could sleep for most of the trip there. After the trip to Abu Simbel, the guide told us that we could do an optional tour to the Nubian Village for lunch. We questioned if we would have time and how we would get our bags as we would have already checked out of the cruise ship. All we ever got in response was “don’t worry”. In reality, the cruise ship overnights in Aswan and the bags are held in storage after check-out. I can’t recommend the Nubian Village lunch as we paid $40 per person and all we did was have lunch, once lunch was over, we were rushed out and had no time to walk through the village. Day 5: This was a great private day trip to Alexandria. We never felt rushed on this trip and the information provided was great. The biggest time waste on this tour is that admission to the sites isn’t included in the tour, which means we had to wait in a ticket line to purchase tickets at every site. This wasn’t too bad for the private tours, but for the group tours we probably wasted 25% of the time just waiting for everyone to get tickets. Would have been better for the tour company to purchase the tickets in advance and not have to wait in line on an already limited timeframe. Overall, we really enjoyed our tour and got everything we wanted out of it. The communication could have been MUCH better, but everything worked out. Based on previous reviews, we had expected the chaos and went into the tour with the plan to just go with it.

Good experience to see Egypt, but need to be Proactive
We are just finishing the 5-Day tour of Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and Alexandria. All-in-all, this was a great way to see many of the culturally important sites of Egypt and I would generally recommend this experience. That being said, we were proactive and kept in constant contact with Nice Tours via WhatsApp (I would HIGHLY recommend this). It made the experience smoother than what it would have been. We proactively contacted them before we left for Egypt to make sure they had all the information they needed which was good because they needed ID information to finish booking the cruise/flights. Also, we needed to contact them every night to provide us with the itinerary for the following day. We had two early days (leaving the cruise at 4 am), so be ready for this. Also, the early morning balloon ride was canceled due to weather and they said we will get a small refund. Make sure to bring tipping money for drivers, guides, and misc people who help you along the way. The cruise was not 5-star, but I enjoyed cruising the Nile and the good food, and was nice for what we paid for. The weather was also perfect in December and small crowds. The tour guides were all great! We had personal tours for Cairo, Luxor and Alexandria (these were the best guides!) and small group tours at the other locations. It was very nice to have transportation to and from locations already setup by the travel company. We had lunches paid for which was nice and opted to pay entrance fees on the spot which was very easy and quick.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5-Day Private Egypt Tour package by Flights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does 5-Day Private Egypt Tour package by Flights cost?
+
Prices start at $400 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cairo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 5-Day Private Egypt Tour package by Flights take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cairo is not rushed.
Is 5-Day Private Egypt Tour package by Flights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 58 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cairo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5-Day Private Egypt Tour package by Flights?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 5-Day Private Egypt Tour package by Flights suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 5-Day Private Egypt Tour package by Flights?
+
Around 20 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cairo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cairo and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5-Day Private Egypt Tour package by Flights start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cairo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cairo?
+
On Outty we rank every Cairo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include All-in-One Giza Tour, inside Pyramid, sphinx, Camel ride & lunch, VIP Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx Tour –Inside the Pyramids&More, Best of Cairo Private Giza Pyramids, Sphinx and Grand Museum Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cairo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cairo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
