I don't normally do tour packages but Egypt has a lot of sights spread out all over and internal travel can be fussy. This tour company is one of the few to offer El Minya, and that drew me to it (always wanted to see Ahkenaten's intended tomb). The package is flexible and has optional bonus tours, many of which I did. In each area (Cairo, Minya, Upper Egypt) you get a different guide and all of mine were great, particularly my Upper Egypt guide.
You can add additional days in Cairo at start or end which is good because most of the add-on activities are up there. The best add-ons that I did were Alexandria, Dashur, Abu Simbel and Philae). Extra days and add-ons for me was about $1000 USD extra, but I did most of the ones they offered and had four extra nights. The vast array of sights I got to see, spanning 5000 years of history, was totally worth it.
If you are looking to see LOTS of Egypt but feel intimidated by planning it yourself, this is an excellent way to do it. Strong recommend!
