They were extremely professional but helpful in fulfilling our visa requirements for Egypt. They even sent their agent for us at the airport to meet and assist us, the agent arranged for our tours and transfers and even helped us in exchanging currency and getting a local sim card saving us a lot of extra hassle....so overall it was worth booking their services.

21-Nov-2022

I organized a 10 day tour for 16 friends to visit Egypt for the first time. We chose Egypt Direct Tour because Ahmed is very open to adjust the itinerary to accommodate our interest. I was a bit nervous before the trip. But everything worked out well. We were picked up and dropped off on time for our various flights, had very professional drivers for the whole time, and our two tour guides are very kind and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Egypt Direct Tour!

21-Aug-2023

Nasser and shrif were absolutely amazing !!!! Nasser took so many pictures for me. He was patient. I did a private tour, they stopped and helped me take pictures everywhere I went. After visiting the pyramids and sphinx, they took me to make my own perfume oil, following a spices/tea/chocolate treats tour, we went to see Egyptian art, an Egyptian jeweler whereas able to create my own necklace, and finally a museum filled with other 20 mummies. Amazing day. Included pick up and drop off and all private transfers and tickets. Thank you for showing my Egypt !

01-May-2023

Egypt Direct Tours was a great tour company that will take good care of you while in Egypt. We loved our guides Mervy and Mohamed that they selected for us. We were taken to all the top highlights, great 4 star hotels and excellent river cruise. They were willing to accommodate all of our needs and requests and made sure our group of 12 was happy. I would not recommend taking the sleeping train unless the government updates them because they are extremely dirty. This was not the tour company's fault however and they were willing to book us flight tickets back from Aswan to Cairo so we wouldn't have to take the train again. Overall we had a great experience and I would highly recommend taking a trip with this company. Thanks so much for the adventure!

The 12-day Egypt and Jordan...

25-Nov-2023

The 12-day Egypt and Jordan trip we took with Egypt Direct has just come to an end. I would like to thank Mr. Ahmed and the entire Egypt Direct team for making our trip an unforgettable experience. In our hotel, Mr. Ahmed personally met with us. Throughout our tour, they assisted us in every way possible, from airport pickup to visa processing (in Jordan), to currency exchange, and getting SIM cards. The drivers and guides were all punctual and very knowledgeable. They provided us with tips on how to avoid crowds and get the best photos. As a result of bad weather, we had to change our literary selection. They were very flexible in meeting our needs. We are very happy and satisfied. Mr. Bassam was the best tour guide ( In Cairo) and Mr. Yosuf ( In Jordan) was the best driver. We highly recommend Egypt Direct as a reliable and trustworthy company.
