We discovered Ramses Tours through a thorough search of Private Tour Options on TripAdvisor and we could not have been happier! We were planning a trip to Cairo and a Nile River Cruise. Ramses Tours is easily accessible by both email and WhatsApp. We were in contact with Haitham Masoud at their office, who was excellent at answering all of our questions and customized our itinerary to include all of our requests. We selected the 5-star accommodation plan and couldn’t have been happier!
Mina, our tour guide in Cairo, was amazing! He met us early the next morning and made our 2 day visit to Cairo an exciting event, steering us to all of the Cairo highlights and navigating through the streets. He provided adequate time to view the attractions while still keeping on schedule and sharing his extensive knowledge of Egyptian history and culture. He was very thoughtful - even stopping to buy us all local sandwiches and fun beverages! Mina was also very helpful in steering us away from vendors selling junk souvenirs and in pointing out reputable places to shop.
Our Nile River Cruise was fantastic. It was a pleasure to have Haytham (Sam) Saady join us on the cruise as our tour guide for this part of the trip. It was clear that he was an expert in Ancient Egyptian history and Egyptian culture. Everyone knew him and he was able to move us along through the sights seamlessly. By the time the week was over, Sam was a good friend.
I would highly recommend Ramses Tours to anyone planning a trip to Egypt. Thank you Ramses Tours!
I would also highly recommend the optional Hot Air Balloon ride in Luxor over the Valley of Kings and the Valley of Queens. It was amazing!
