Private Tour: 8 Tage, 7 Nächte Pyramiden und Nilfahrt mit dem Flugzeug ab Kairo

We just returned from the best trip of our life! It was the Viking Cruises Pharaohs and Pyramids Tour from October 27 to November 7 on the Aton The sites that we saw were expertly chosen. One day to the other was " the highlight of the trip". The accommodations at the Fairmont and the Intercontinental in Cairo were fabulous. The Aton was a wonderful river boat, very clean with spacious rooms, fine dining and excellent service. Our cruise director Ana was so kind and enthusiastic. Our room steward Hassan kept everything meticulously clean and tidy. Our desk agent Mustafa went the extra mile to assist us with anything and everything. The three guides, Amin, Manal and Hassan were experts. Hassan was with us throughout our trip. Not only was he a respected archeologist and Egyptologist, but he shared his personal favorites with us at each stop. He watched out for us. Hassan was so enthusiastic about the sites we saw and Egypt in general. He could not have done a better job showing us his country! At the airport our Viking representative, Girgis Nabil, met us right at the van and helped us tremendously with navigating the complicated check in. He kept us informed every step of the way and didn't let anyone "crowd us out" in lines. In all, Viking has come through yet again with wonderful accommodations, service, and sites. I highly recommend this tour!

Ali notre guide, un puits de science, disponible à chaque instant, en un mot un homme merveilleux. Quelqu’un de bien quelqu’un de rare !

Our 8 day/7 night Pyramids and Nile Cruise with Reflections Travel was so well planned and exceeded all expectations. We were met at all airports and the hotels in Cairo were excellent. We always had a driver with our guide which made it so much easier to converse. The cruise on the Nile was on the Monte Carlo where service and food were plentiful. Worth noting, drinks were extra and the ship lacks USB ports, if that is important to you for charging your devices. We were in constanta communication with WhatsApp. Our guide in Cairo, Maior (I believe), did a great job taking us to the pyramids, museum and Coptic area. It was a full day, but we covered the main attractions with enough time at each. Abdo, our Nile cruise guide was absolutely amazing with excellent English. His knowledge of Egyptian history was incredible and his enthusiasm for sharing was infectious. He hit all the high points at each site plus more. We were given ample time to explore on our own if we wanted. He also answered all our questions and gave us insight into Egypt’s relationship with its neighbors. Very enlightening. And for those who are questioning whether Egypt is a safe place to be during these troubling times, let me just say that we always felt safe. Don’t pass this up.
