Egypt Traveler Reviews

Visiting Egypt was one of my best experiences in my life, thanks to all the Osama team, the tour guides were very friendly and very professional, 100% recommended. Thanks a lot

It was a fun trip, by dingy and camel, to Luxor. A guided tour is the only good way to make this journey. Our very knowledgeable tour guides were fantastic, helpful, and provided lots of direction and insight into what we were seeing. The dinghy combing its way through the Nile branch provided us with great views, and our guide made it into an even more enjoyable, and information-filled trip. This was a worry-free excursion. The tour company had everything well-planned in advance.

Joining this trip has become the best memory in Luxor! We visited the remarkable historical sites with Osama, and learned many of Egyptian culture and stories. Osama is very warm and thoughtful who took care of every detail for us. And he has abundant knowledge about the ancient Egypt. You can see a great passion on him toward the Egypt culture. We really had a great time, and choosing Osama has been a right choice:)

I did 3 tours with Journey to Egypt, Nile Cruise from Luxor to Aswan, The Pyramids and Coptic Cairo and all were of the best quality. Osama and George were extremely knowledgable and went above and beyond to make sure I had a memorable time. These guys should be a part of everybody's trip to Egypt.

The customer service alone is phenomenal. Before arriving in Egypt I communicated with Mazen and customer service team and they were on it! Answered all my questions and got me the VIP treatment without breaking the bank! I really wish I could visit Egypt every month because of the great service and reception I received from crew at Journey to Egypt. If you can try to get Mazen as your guide he really goes above and beyond for his clients which he calls family! I recommend them 100% book with them you will not regret it!!!

I had such an amazing time in Egypt, and a big part of that was due to this company. My guide was George, and he was with me for four days from Aswan to Luxor. He was so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and was able to answer all of my questions. Because I was traveling alone, I wasn’t sure how to see all the sites I wanted to see while taking the Nile cruise, and Osama made it so simple by arranging everything. I’m not usually a tour guide person, but I thoroughly enjoyed my trip, and cannot recommend Journey To Egypt more!!

My husband and I travelled to Egypt to visit family living there and they arranged our Nile River Cruise for us as they had previously done the same tour with Journey to Egypt. Our guide Osama met us at the airport with a big smile, water and snacks. Much appreciated. He was very attentive to our needs, always having water available for us and at each site telling us stories about the temples, the pharaohs and the gods which really made the entire tour most enjoyable. He was very knowledgable and would take us into the shade to give us the history as it was very hot during our tour. He always provided free time allowing us the time to take photos and see the things we really wanted to see. Remember that you'll always have time to wander on your own so listen to the stories he tells because it all really comes together by the end of the tour and you'll never forget Queen Hatshepsut ( ie. hot chicken soup or hat cheap suit), she's still my favourite! What a woman:) We had plans to go to Abu Simbel but there was a huge sandstorm the night before and the road to the temple was closed so Osama did some quick rearranging for us and made our last day in Aswan very memorable. We saw the Nubian village ( loved all the colours), the Unfinished Obelisk, the High Dam and Philae ( the temple on the water). Then we took a speed boat back to the ship. Osama's first time in a speed boat and we had a blast. Osama took very good care of us. He helped me purchase some gifts and mementos, and took care of every thing travelling from site to site and on the Nile Cruise Ship. He always provided the schedule for the next day so we knew how long we'd be gone. He also provided internet aboard the boat so that we wouldn't have to pay the premium price the boat would have charged us. We spent many of our meals on the ship with Osama and had many great conversations learning all about Egypt today. This was a trip we will never forget and I would recommend Journey to Egypt to everyone wanting a courteous, knowledgable, fun and friendly guide who has a passion for guiding.

Osama from Journey to Egypt tailored the entire week for me. Traveling solo, I wanted to ensure I selected a reliable tour based on reviews. Osama is extremely responsive and was in communication with me throughout my vacation. I booked this trip last minute and Osama planned the entire week for me and had every detail outlined so I knew exactly who I would be meeting with each day. He also made great recommendations for side trips. I spent the first day with Alfred in Giza at the Pyramids, Sphinx, Papyrus, and Cairo Museum. Alfred is so passionate about Egyptian history and I soaked it all in. He knew so many people and was an amazing tour guide with extensive knowledge. Spent the next day in Alexandria with Neveen and had a wonderful tour to the Catacombs, Library, Citadel and a perfect lunch overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Flew to Luxor and was greeted by John at the airport and visited temples before embarking on a Nile Cruise. John spent the next amazing 5 days with me all the way to Aswan. John made this voyage extra special with his knowledge and insight. Osama checked in with me every day to ensure everything was going smoothly. He even called the hotel shuttle bus driver on my return trip to Cairo from Aswan to confirm I had been picked up from the airport safely. Egypt is a beautiful country with extraordinary history and Osama ensured I was in great hands with private tour guides and drivers the entire vacation. I highly recommend Journey to Egypt for an unforgettable holiday!

When you have kids having a very knowledgeable guide with lots of patience and a smile beginning to end is absolutely priceless . We just came from a week long trip in Egypt , including a Nile cruise and Osama made sure to make it the trip of a lifetime . If you ever decide to go there , do yourself a favor and book with him .

This was the most impromptu trip we could have ever done, but no complaints as Osama ensured that it turned out to be one of the best planned one. We did the Nile Cruise with him on the cruise called Al hambra and it was a fabulous experience. The cruise was great, food, service everything and so were the tours managed by Osama. The guides were well informed and knowledgeable and they ensured that we had a great time We met Osama in Luxor and have to say he is a thorough gentleman. He would always send us the schedule for the day and the next day and would always be available to take our calls. Loved the whole trip, Egypt as a country is beautiful, but when u do it with a knowledgeable tour guide you appreciate the country even more. So I would definitely recommend journey to Egypt if you ever plan a trip to Egypt

We arrived to Luxor by overnight train from Cairo at 6:45am—an entire hour late BUT Osama was still there to greet us and start our Day tour of the East and West Bank of Luxor. The day was filled with great and educational information about Egyptian history and Osama was a great guide. He answered all questions and provided information about Egyptian culture that we knew nothing of. We finished our tour early (the train back to Cairo was not until 8:30pm) and Osama offered us a ride on the Nile on a felucca boat. We visited a nearby village, Banana village, where we saw local Egyptians living areas and were able to interact with the locals. Osama made sure we comfortable the entire day and even helped us back to the Luxor train station and stayed with us until we boarded. I would suggest this tour to anyone visiting Egypt. Hands down, it was an amazing day tour.

My wife and I booked our honeymoon through Osama. He was extremely responsive to all our questions and responded right away. He managed every detail in a meticulous way and made sure we were prepared before we were in Egypt. From the moment we arrived, we felt like royalty. A representative helped us with our luggage and visas. A driver was waiting for us and took us to our hotel with the representative. Mind you, we came in at 2 am and they were very professional and helped us up to the point we checked in to the hotel. Day 1 tour: We were lucky enough to have Dina on our first day in Cairo, who gave us an amazing tour of the pyramids, the Egyptian museum, and a great dinner. She is full of knowledge, very professional and just a great attitude overall. We even took a carriage ride through the dessert and got on a camel (def worth it). Extremely satisfied. Days 2 - 6 tours: We embarked on a Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan. Osama met us at the airport with a driver. He gave us information on our tour and already started giving us the history of the area in detail. Osama is extremely knowledgeable and one thing that was consistent through our trip was his passion for history of Egypt, which made every tour very enjoyable. We did several tours with Osama and even went to the Nubian village with him. Amazing experience. He was always attentive to every need of ours and tried to ensure that we knew our times for tour and all our options for each day. Very organized and very attentive. Amazing tour; worth every penny. Day 7 tour: Alexandria day tour with Dina. We can’t get enough of her. She took us to all the sights including the beautiful Biblioteca Alexandrina, which was a lot of fun. We ate all sorts of amazing fish dishes and had amazing views of the Mediterranean Sea. Definitely recommend making the trip to Alexandria. It’s a beautiful city by the sea that’s worth the drive. In sum, we recommend taking all the tours you can with Journey to Egypt. They know the history and will explain to you everything in detail in an enjoyable and passionate way. There’s so much to explore and we had enough time to see history and have a romantic sail down the Nile for our honeymoon.
