Great trip that did most things I wanted. Recommend going with tour as it’s a difficult country to do alone. Does slow down towards the end and this may frustrate those who only want to do historic sites but slower days are useful. Use the first/last day to explore Cairo.

Beautiful trip that combines all the highlights of Egypt in a perfect mixture (pyramids, temples, Nile, Red Sea, Mediterranean). Our fantastic tourleader Sam and the very nice group of people made this trip even more unforgettable. Although this trip is basic, i thought the accomodation is very comfortable. Only the train and the boat are a bit more adventurous, but that makes part of the experience, which i wouldn't have wanted to miss.

The fifteen day Egypt tour with Intrepid was a phenomenal introduction to the country! I am planning a six week return for next year, and I feel well prepped for that.

Sam was a great guide and the trip had good pacing. The tourist sites were great, and the less touristy items, like the felucca ride, exceeded expectations.

We were extremely lucky to be in a great group of people and an exceptional tour guide Hany. Hany was funny, kind, knowledgeable, receptive to adapting to requests… basically a complete legend! He has set the bar high for future tour guides. The whole tour was well balanced with tours and recharge time. Highlights were the pyramids, felucca and the Nubian homestay. This was the first guided tour myself and my friend had been on, previously having travelled independently. We felt as two women, travelling around Egypt in a group would be safer. At no point did we ever fell unsafe. The accommodation is basic but clean with hot showers. I wouldn’t have swapped better accommodation for another group, the camaraderie within the group was amazing. I would recommend adding a couple of extra nights in Cairo, either before or after the tour, to see more sites around Cairo like the Saqqara Pyramids, the citadel and the grand Egyptian museum.

Wow, what an amazing experience to see Egypt up close and personal with the best tour guide, the wonderful Hany. It was great to meet, make friends and travel with people from multiple countries. We saw and learnt so much on our trip. Hany made it so easy for us and we felt very safe. On the whole the hotels were fine as you didn’t spend much time in them due to all the activities we were doing. The Pyramids were amazing as you would expect, but I also loved the private boat and snorkelling in Hurghada. The colours and art in the tombs and temples were stunning. Definitely a trip I would recommend to those that want to see the variety Egypt has to offer.

What a trip! Covers all the amazing sites of Egypt you would expect and then throws in a few experiences I had not expected. The Nubian homestay, the felucca and snorkelling were the icing on the cake of seeing the pyramids, valley of the kings and Abu Simbel. Ask for Hany as a guide if you can. He was a fabulous guide, nothing was too much trouble and he is so knowledgeable. Thanks Hany!

Brilliant trip and our tour guide was amazing

I had been to Egypt hitching in 1965. This tour taught me so much, from the Egyptian ways, the geography and especially the farming. I enjoyed the healthy diet too.

Explore Egypt - A great trip, fantastic leader, amazing country and culture. We havemade new friends. Read the pre booking information so you know what to expect - everything you need to know is written there.

A great, all-encompassing trip around the country with awesome people and full of highlights: pyramids, felucca, hot air balloon, valley of the kings, snorkeling,... However in the future I will not book Basix accommodation anymore.

Amazing 2 weeks in Egypt led by an even more amazing tour guide, Saeed. Saeed was an endless wealth of knowledge of Egypt from ancient history to modern culture. Made new friends of different ages, backgrounds and cultures in my travel group. Well organized and incredible value. If you have never done a pre planned group travel, are on the fence, or just want to take a break from the hassle of planning and managing a trip yourself, book now. I can’t wait to book my next trip with Intrepid.

I've been on two trips with Intrepid and I look forward to more in the future. They always ensures the safety of the group, and always makes sure you have a local guide with incredible knowledge, and take you to some of the most amazing places.

My husband and I just completed the trip of a lifetime with Explore Egypt! We made so many amazing memories and gained so much knowledge thanks to our fantastic guide, Daly! The trip is fast paced but it covers all the highlights. Highly recommend this trip to all and will be taking many more Intrepid trips in the future!

Amazing ecological and historical tour in Egypt lead by an experience Guide Mohamed Abdelhady. Impressive knowledge of the culture and history

Amazing. You don’t need to worry about anything, because your tour guide already planned everything. I really recommend Intrepid

Excellent trip - itinerary, accommodations, transportation and included meals were exactly what I expected for this level of trip. Mohamed Hossny was the best leader/guide I’ve ever had. If you are coming from the US on this trip bring Us currency to tip your guide with instead of Egyptian pounds.

I have done 11 group trips and the Mohamed Hossny is by far the best one. Even after a day of travels, he would invite us for tea and we would sit around and talk for hours. Went way above his job description to sorting accomodations, getting SIM cards and local cash. He offered pillows and clothes to help fellow travellers. Kept us safe and informed 24/7, a tour guide makes or break the trip, not the country.

With the right guide this trip itinerary is amazing! You will learn so much, and the inclusion of Hurghada makes this Egypt option the one you should choose.

Ehap was an amazing tour guide. I enjoyed my time in Egypt and learnt so much!!
