Odynovo 10 night tour of Egypt
I went with ODYNOVO on a 10 night private tour guided trip of Egypt. 4 nights on board the Sonesta ST. George river boat, amazing staff shout out to Mina the barman, excellent food and fantastic trip. We went from Luxor to ASwan visiting all the temples and valleys of the kings and Queens. A once in a life time trip. Our guide for this part of the trip was Mohammad Saeed, a great guide, full of knowledge. We went to Cairo for 4 nights and stayed in the kimpinski nile hotel, beautiful 5* hotel. Our guide in Cairo was Mostafa Salah, a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, took us everywhere . I highly recommend this trip

Fantastic tour guides and overall experience
We took an 7-night tour of Cairo, Aswan & Luxor that included a Nile river cruise. Our tour planner Leila was not only helpful prior to purchasing, but also remained nicely attentive during our tour to ensure everything was as we wished. For the Cairo portion we had the jolly Mohammed Atteya who was an excellent guide of Egyptology & the city, steering us knowledgeably through the various attractions (including which ones to skip). Together with his driver Samir we felt safe & in the best of hands at all times. The Southern part of our journey was conducted by a different tour guide Ahmed Sedik. Ahmed’s style was more formal, but equally competent and he provided us a wealth of information along the various Nile stops & mini-tours. The sites during our trip in March 2022 did not seem overcrowded, but even so we really appreciated the ‘private’ nature of the tour, by not having to wait for group activities and being allowed to take all the time we wanted at any stop. As things get busier in the country, this service will become even more valuable. Both tour guides were also terrific photographers, enabling us to have great photo memories from our trip. I must also mention Mr. Yasser Samiee who met us each time at Cairo airport and swiftly took us through the process/bureaucracy, which was a very nice touch. We are very fortunate to be able to travel to many places in the world regularly, but shall not hesitate to recommend this tour company (Odynovo and their personnel) to friends, colleagues & family to help plan their trips to the splendor that awaits at Egypt’s historical sites – bravo!

Awesome Excursion with our tour guide Moh
As a world traveler I had waited many years to adventure to Egypt. I wanted to make sure I got a great tour guide for Cairo and surrounding areas. I was very fortunate to find Moh!!!! His English is very strong which is critical to ensure maximum benefit of each tour. He was extremely knowledgeable in all the places we visited…. The pyramids, sphinx, Egyptian civilization museum, Saqqara, Memphis, Old Cairo city tour/bazaar to name some of them. I highly recommend anyone who wants deep understanding of the historical context for each site we visited to obtain Moh as your specialty guide!

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private 7-Night Cairo, Aswan, and Nile Cruise with Flights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Giza.
How much does Private 7-Night Cairo, Aswan, and Nile Cruise with Flights cost?
+
Prices start at $150 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 Private 7-Night Cairo, Aswan, and Nile Cruise with Flights take?
+
Plan for about 192 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 Private 7-Night Cairo, Aswan, and Nile Cruise with Flights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 89 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 Private 7-Night Cairo, Aswan, and Nile Cruise with 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 Private 7-Night Cairo, Aswan, and Nile Cruise with Flights suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 192-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private 7-Night Cairo, Aswan, and Nile Cruise with Flights?
+
Around 31 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 192-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private 7-Night Cairo, Aswan, and Nile Cruise with 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 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.
