Great family holiday in Egypt
We called on a local guide, Ibrahim, who prepared us the trip that was to cover in 9 days: Cairo, Luxor and The Red Sea. Hotel reservations, vans + driver, activities. Ibrahim was very welcoming, available, flexible to our requests. His good local knowledge made it very easy for us to organize the trip. He introduced us to the rich culture of his country, typical dishes, must visits. An incredible adventure with the family.
Response from the operator: Merci beaucoup pour votre chaleureux retour ! Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous avez passé de superbes vacances en famille en Égypte. C’est un réel plaisir de savoir qu’Ibrahim a su rendre votre séjour mémorable grâce à son professionnalisme, sa flexibilité et sa passion pour la culture égyptienne. Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour une nouvelle aventure en Égypte ! Bien à vous, L’équipe de Your Egypt Tours

Amazing Cultural Experience with a warm and friendly team!
Your Egypt Tours was AMAZING! They took care of us and made sure that we had a fabulous time! Our guides - Mamdouh in Cairo and Ash in Luxor and Aswan were great! Mamdouh esp was great with story telling and captured the attention of our three boys! Johnny our driver in Cairo was warm and friendly with a smile on his face all the time.. and Ahmed - who was helping us with our airport transfer and pick ups - was super helpful and friendly! Ali and Mona who helped us create the iternary did a fabulous job and took very good care of us! We were in Egypt for about 15 days - from Cairo, to sharm, the Nile cruise and back to Cairo / Alexandria. We did black and white desert with them and kids had a fabulous time! It was an adventure and we learnt a lot. They had lot of patience and were very attentive to our needs- esp out three boys - aged 7 and 10! Our boys celebrated their 10th bday there and they added a boat ride on the Nile to celebrate with a cake! It was awesome! We were initially hesitant as we were not sure how safe it was to travel there in Dec 2023/ Jan 2024 but it was perfect. They all took good care of us and made sure we had a wonderful time! I would highly recommend them for your trip to egypt!

Friendly, flexible, professional tours throughout Egypt!
Our family of 6, with 4 kids ranging from elementary to college, had the most wonderful opportunity to explore Luxor and Cairo. Everything was handled in the upmost professional way from communication via email in extremely timely fashion, flexibility in building full day plans, transfers from multiple airports and hotels, safe and very friendly drivers, to knowledgeable guides. I highly recommend Your Egypt Tours and our family is appreciative for the level of professionalism and care shown in creating family memories we will forever cherish.

Reliable, knowledgeable, flexible tour company
At very short notice (less then a day), You Tour organised 4 out of our 9 days holidays throughout Egypt. All via efficient and quick responses to email, WhatsApp or calls. We never met Mona in person, but he delivered everything behind the scenes and he was always available and responsive. Punctual and flexible according to our wishes and needs. Never pushed for things we did not need, never a complaint about our changes in program. Always at our service, for very fair and clearly agreed prices. No funny surprises for extras. Upon arrival at Cairo airport we were met by knowledgeable guide Mamdouh, who quickly became our friend for our first day in Egypt. We were delayed in the airport for 1 hour, it was not a problem. The choice of a private tour guide helped so much to engage my young children (7 and 9) with all the stories and facts of ancient Egypt and left me totally stress-free about logistics or having to read up stuff. We all learned so so much with You Tour’s highly qualified, academic and eloquent guides (we had 4 in total!). Next day we were met punctually by Hany at Aswan airport for tour of Aswan dam, amazing Philae temple, the unfinished Obelisk, lunch on an island with dreamy views and sunset Felucca tour. Again fantastic service meeting and exceeding our expectations. Hany was extremely knowledgeable, patient and fun company for the children. He allowed them to tirelessly pick his brains. Next day we organised 24hrs on a Felucca ourselves. You Tours does not facilitate this due to mixed experiences with Felucca captains. I understand their position entirely, it is more suited for “young and independent travelers”, (just note the names of these boats, Ziggo, Jamaica, Marley, and you understand what I am alluding to) but for us it ranks among the top experiences in Egypt. Total relaxation and disconnection from worldly concerns. After a change in timings, we were met by energetic Esmael, who was very quick to adapt to a new program, sorted out our financials by advancing for us only 2 minutes after meeting us. And off we set for pit stop lunch and amazing Karnak Temple. Next day last tour to the “Hat-Cheap-Suit” temple and Valley of the Kings with another guide. In the afternoon a new driver met us to take us to the Red Sea coast. As always in a super clean white mini van, AC, water, and a well instructed driver. Overall top experience, totally hassle free. Thank you You Tour for a most memorable introduction to a hugely riches country. We will be back for more.

Private 9-Day Egypt Family Holiday - Fun & Discovery: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cairo.
How much does Private 9-Day Egypt Family Holiday - Fun & Discovery cost?
+
Prices start at $480 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 Private 9-Day Egypt Family Holiday - Fun & Discovery take?
+
Plan for about 216 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 Private 9-Day Egypt Family Holiday - Fun & Discovery worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Private 9-Day Egypt Family Holiday - Fun & Discovery?
+
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 9-Day Egypt Family Holiday - Fun & Discovery suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 216-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private 9-Day Egypt Family Holiday - Fun & Discovery?
+
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 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 216-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private 9-Day Egypt Family Holiday - Fun & Discovery 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.
