How booking works

Simple, and nothing to pay upfront for day tours

  1. Send a booking request. Book a tour online as it is (nothing to pay at this stage), or send us your plans on WhatsApp or the form and we adjust any itinerary.
  2. We confirm in writing. Your booking is confirmed only when we reply in writing with your day-by-day plan, hotels and total price. Anything not included is listed before you pay.
  3. Pay on the day, or a deposit for packages. Day tours and transfers are paid on the day. For packages, a deposit by bank transfer secures the hotels, flights and cruise we book for you, and the balance is paid when you arrive.

Questions

Before you book

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Not for day tours or airport transfers. You pay on the day. For packages that include hotels, domestic flights or a Nile cruise, we take a deposit by bank transfer so we can book those for you, and the rest is paid when you arrive in Egypt.

Are your tours private or group tours?

Almost all of our tours are private: just you, your guide and your driver. A few boat trips on the Red Sea are shared with other guests, and those are marked clearly on the tour page.

Can you change an itinerary for me?

Yes. Every package can be made longer, shorter, more relaxed or upgraded to 5-star hotels. Send us your dates and we reply with a revised plan and price.

When is the best time to visit Egypt?

October to April is the most comfortable, with warm days and cool evenings. May to September is very hot in Luxor and Aswan, but the sites are quieter and we start sightseeing early to avoid the midday heat.

Do I need a visa?

Most visitors need a tourist visa, which many nationalities can buy online before travel or on arrival at the airport. Check the rules for your passport before you fly. If you book an airport transfer, your driver meets you at arrivals.
