Answers to the questions travellers ask us most about booking, paying and travelling with Unlock Egypt Tours. If your question is not here, contact us or message us on WhatsApp.
Open the tour you like, choose your date and the number of travellers, and send the booking request. You can also message us on WhatsApp or use the contact page.
Your booking is only confirmed when we confirm it to you in writing, with the date, the price and what is included.
Nothing is paid when you send a booking request.
Day tours and transfers are paid on the day. Multi-day packages are secured with a deposit by bank transfer once we have confirmed in writing, and the balance is paid on arrival in Egypt. Full details are on our payment policy page.
Yes, tour prices are per person in US dollars, and the price per person falls as your group gets bigger. Each tour shows a price table by group size. Airport transfers are priced per vehicle, not per person.
Every tour page has an Included and a Not included list. Anything not included is listed there before you book, so please check it, especially for meals, entrance tickets to optional sites and tips.
Your guiding and transport are private for your own group. Some parts are shared with other guests by nature, such as Nile cruise ships, hot air balloons and some boat trips, and this is stated on the tour page.
Please contact us as early as possible. We will check availability with the guide, driver and any hotel or cruise. Changes depend on availability and, for packages, on the hotel or cruise rules set out in your written confirmation.
Cancellation terms depend on the tour and how close to the date you cancel. They are explained in our Terms & Conditions and in your written confirmation. If anything is unclear, ask us before you book.

Please tell us about any dietary needs or allergies when you book and we will do our best to arrange suitable meals.

Visa rules depend on your nationality. Many visitors, including UK citizens, can get a visa on arrival or an e-visa before travel, but rules change, so please check your government’s travel advice and the official Egypt e-visa website before you go.
