Very good organization...
Very good organization and very reliable. I was constantly passed from one guide to the next and was not lost as a result. 1 star deduction for for the tourist crowds at the highlights. But the organizer can't help selling you anything for trying.

Wonderful Egypt Experience
We have just completed a five day Egypt experience and have had a wonderful time. We really appreciated having Zakarya our tour guide with us the whole time from Aswan to Luxor. He took great care of us, always making sure we were happy with every aspect of our tour. He provided knowledgeable insights into each site we visited as well as giving us time to explore on our own. He also suggested some great additions to our tour such as the hot air ballooning in Luxor which turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. We highly recommend Zakarya for your tour of Egypt.
Response from the operator: Dear Kelly, we're thrilled to hear about your wonderful Egypt experience and the great service by Zakarya. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to your next adventure with us!

Outstanding Egypt Experience with Egypt Gift Tours!
Heba from Egypt Gift Tours provided outstanding service right from booking and throughout our tour. We really appreciated the prompt replies and answers to our questions. The tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and really looked after us, and we felt safe and comfortable with all the drivers. We also appreciated the support and advice given by our guides in relation to tipping and other aspects of the tour so we could relax and enjoy it. The tour itself is outstanding, covering many major sites and experiences such as the famous pyramids and temples and tombs. Cruising down the Nile on a 5 star boat was an experience of a lifetime. Thank you Heba and your great team for a wonderful experience. We highly recommend you book your Egypt experience with Egypt Gift Tours.
Response from the operator: Dear Glenn, Thank you for your kind words about our team. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your tour and the service provided by Heba. Looking forward to welcoming you back soon!

Live the culture
Egypt the civillization is impossible to truly experience without knowing hieroglyphs. We had the joy of having a very funny big daddy Ismail Haroun as our tour guide and family on this trip. He was also the one we trusted to bargain good prices from us and kept us safe from all possible tricks of hustling vendors at the tourist sites. Even the subtle notion of tipping was breached thoroughly as a culture to prepare us. The knowledge of an egyptologist past and present is indispensable to making the most of the trip and big daddy lived up to our expectations at every turn. The team of the cruise Lady Mary was amiable, hygienic and the smile of the manager Ehab Mohammed greeting us at every turn is unparalleled. We took an extra option and the hot air balloon over the valley of kings during sunrise ... absolutely majestic!

5 Days Egypt- Cairo Pyramids, 4 Days Cruise Aswan To Luxor, Abu Simbel By Train: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does 5 Days Egypt- Cairo Pyramids, 4 Days Cruise Aswan To Luxor, Abu Simbel By Train cost?
+
Prices start at $350 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Giza usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 5 Days Egypt- Cairo Pyramids, 4 Days Cruise Aswan To Luxor, Abu Simbel By Train 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 Giza is not rushed.
Is 5 Days Egypt- Cairo Pyramids, 4 Days Cruise Aswan To Luxor, Abu Simbel By Train worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Giza, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5 Days Egypt- Cairo Pyramids, 4 Days Cruise Aswan To Luxor, Abu Simbel By Train?
+
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 Days Egypt- Cairo Pyramids, 4 Days Cruise Aswan To Luxor, Abu Simbel By Train 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 Days Egypt- Cairo Pyramids, 4 Days Cruise Aswan To Luxor, Abu Simbel By Train?
+
Around 1 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 Giza 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 Giza and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5 Days Egypt- Cairo Pyramids, 4 Days Cruise Aswan To Luxor, Abu Simbel By Train 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 Giza 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 Giza?
+
On Outty we rank every Giza experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pyramids Sphinx Camel ATV Bike Shopping and Nile Dinner Cruise, Cairo 8 Hour Private Tour of Pyramids & Grand Egyptian Museum, Pyramids Sphinx and Grand Egyptian Museum Nile Felucca or Bazaar. 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 Giza?
+
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 Giza?
+
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.
