About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- U3627YXchrisr0 contributionsThe best tour we’ve every had with EmyWe had the best time touring Cairo with Emy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide! Her exceptional knowledge of both modern and Ancient Egypt, particularly the Great Egyptian Museum and the Egyptian Museum, was truly impressive. This made sense when we discovered she had worked at the Cairo Museum for several years, which enabled her to provide us with extra insights and historical details that brought the exhibits to life. Due to the size of the museum, Emy also asked us for our areas of interest so she could adapt the museum tour to us. What made our experience even more special was how accommodating Emy was. She ensured we spent extra time at the sites that interested us most, like the Citadel, making the tour feel completely personalised. She also always checked in to make sure we were happy and even offered multiple times to take photos for us - she is amazing photographer so do take her up on her offer. Even during our rides between sites (in a private bus with a wonderful driver), Emy continued to share information about the local area, Egyptian history, and answered any questions we had. There was nothing she didn’t know about. The lunch Emy organised for us was also excellent, a tasty restaurant overlooking the pyramids, which made homemade flatbread in a traditional oven. We then went to Khan market, where she advised us on how to barter for quality goods, making it really safe, fun and enjoyable. This was our first time in Egypt, and thanks to Emy, we had the best experience! If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and thoughtful tour guide, we highly recommend asking for her - you won’t be disappointed.Written 19 March 2025
- Pioneer503904426910 contributionsA day tour with James at Giza and Saqqara pyramidsThis is our first day on the tour, James was our guide. He is knowledgeable and caring. He is a Egyptology student. His thesis is on ancient Egyptian wild animal movement. So interesting.Written 19 March 2025
- Z3807XPering0 contributionsGreat Guide!Our guide, Omar, was absolutely phenomenal and would recommend requesting him as his knowledge is unparalleled. However, Abu Simbel was so overcrowded and hot it wasn’t even an enjoyable experience, which was disappointing as we were the most excited to see thatWritten 19 March 2025
- Z3807XPering0 contributionsPhenomenal way to see EgyptOur guide Omar was absolutely phenomenal, worth the price of the trip and more. The boat was a bit dated but our room was nice, food was ok and changed everyday, and the staff on the boat was beyond helpful. Be advised that regardless of who you book with, there will be 20+ other ships leaving at the exact same timeWritten 19 March 2025
- Y4170YXmj0 contributionsPerfect Trip!Do not hesitate to use this company! We did a 7 day tour with a 4 nite Nile cruise Everything was perfect and exceeded our expectations. Our guide Hossam Hassan aka Bruno Mars was extremely knowledgeable of all the sites. We had two other guides for the Giza pyramids and Abu Simbel. Unfortunately, I can’t remember their names, but both were very good, however, Hossam was our favorite! ETP immediately responded to all our questions, no hassle arrival, timely pick ups and drop offs, and our hotel was beautiful, Triumph Luxury Hotel. Excellent company/service in our opinion!Written 19 March 2025
- bigwawao0 contributionsDay Trip to Abu Simbel from a Cruise Boat.This was a day tour to Abu Simbel. We were 11 in the group headquartered on a cruise. Abu Simbel is a sight to behold. Our tour guide was Mahmoud Gamal. He was excellent in giving us an overview of Abu Simbel. He started the talk in the minibus as a sort of overview so that when he starts explaining at the site, things would just fall into place. Surprisingly, everyone thought Abu Simbel was just one temple (my first picture). It is actually composed of two temples. One for Ramses and a smaller one for his wife Nefertari. Egypt Tour Portal made this trip very convenient and gave us an excellent guide.Written 18 March 2025
- MarcoMartinez_5510 contributionsOur Nile cruise and our guide Mohammed Hasan were AMAZING!Our trip to Luxor and Aswan was unforgettable. We got to experience everything that was listed in our itinerary and everything was made easy and quick thanks to our highly knowledgeable guide, Mohammed Hasan. He is highly knowledgeable in all subjects of Egyptology as well as local customs. Mohammed took the time to explain to us the significance of the temples and tombs we saw and told us what sights to look out for when we explored. He gave suggestions on which areas to visit and when to help us avoid crowds all while also giving us some incredible background to the history of the areas we visited. We were able to fully experience our tour in comfort knowing that Mohammed was always organizing things in the background - he even managed to get us incredible seats at a local Nubian restaurant overlooking the Nile in Aswan! Our Nile cruise was onboard the Nile Serenity and it was incredible. The food was good, the staff was incredibly friendly, and our room had an incredible view! Everything was very well organized and the cruise communicated lunch schedules and departing times every day. Things went extremely smoothly from day-to-day and thanks to that we were able to pack a lot of sightseeing throughout our day. Bring some comfy shoes if you’re coming out and get ready to have fun!Written 17 March 2025

- The_sc00bysnack0 contributionsAn absolutely unforgettable trip!My sister and I just finished a 3 night Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, stopping in Edfu and Esna, and then an extra night in Luxor to squeeze in all the sights. Our guide was Muhmmed Abdelaal for the entire time and he was a brilliant combination of all the historical information for not just this area of Egypt but all of country and also threw in lots of cultural info. He delivered the perfect balance of presenting information and giving us free time to explore on our own. He was very patient to answer all our questions...my sister mostly about every hieroglyphic and statue and me with random questions like what the vendors were arguing about (a soccer game) or whether a particular food served to us was really eaten by locals. We were looked after amazingly well with great communication from him about every step of the way and I'm so happy we chose this tour and had Muhmmed as our guide. The sites were breath taking of course but my highlights were having the privilege to see the kindness and generosity of Egyptians as they all greeted Muhmmed and insisted he eat dates from them as we walked down the street (at iftar time to see a Temple at night)... it was so beautiful to watch. And also Muhmmed arranged our final lunch in this beautiful field hosted by a sustainable restaurant where the food was delicious! It was exactly what I'd been looking for without even knowing it myself. Very thoughtful. I would highly recommend everyone to book this tour and with Muhmmed as your guide. Whatever you are looking for in your time in the Nile area, I am sure you will find it if you do.Written 16 March 2025
- Road378395246090 contributionsMemorable tripMahmood Noor and Simmy both are very knowledgeable and pleasure to be with. They both went above and beyond. They always gave us heads up what not to do. I wound recommend them as your guide and would use them againWritten 16 March 2025

We’ve had an amazing week in Egypt and it was made extra special by Maivel our tour guide, and Hamdy our driver! Immediately we were greeted at the airport upon arrival, and felt taken care of and welcome. Maivel was extremely welcoming and made sure we were appropriately settled at our hotel prior to leaving us for the evening. She also made sure we had her contact info and was available to assist with anything we needed during our stay. Her knowledge of the history of ancient Egypt and the sites was fantastic, and she brought the sites to life for us! She guided us through Coptic Cairo, the Bazaar, the Egyptian Museum, Giza, Saqqara, and Memphis, all with great professionalism. This trip was truly made better by having her as our guide! In addition, both she and Hamdy were extremely personable, attentive, accommodating, and made sure we were comfortable at all times. In addition, the staff at Egypt Portal Tours made this extra easy to book ahead online, and were amazingly accommodating as we had to change our itinerary multiple times. They did so with quick responsiveness and no issues whatsoever. I highly recommend Egyptian Portal Tours for anyone coming to Egypt for the first time, and highly recommend you request Maivel as your guide, and Hamdy as your driver!

Egypt tour portal you deserve 10/10 for such an amazing tour guide and an excellent driver. Huge thanks to Adel our driver and Elsayed our tour guide for going above and beyond for what you normally do as a tour guide.
It was such a heartfelt and awesome experienced. We are meticulously brief about our itinerary for the day, Elsayed is very knowledgeable about the history of ancient Egypt and all things about pyramids, their kings and queens.
He is also careful to warn us about not getting scammed and to just say “thank you” when someone offers as some souvenir items in the tourist spot areas.
We told him this trip is a double birthday celebration for my cousin and I. Little did we know that he planned surprise for us at the end of the day. Aboard the cruise ship sailing the river Nile, I was surprise when I was called to participate in the show that’s going on in the ship. They brought out a Cake, my cousin was called as well and all together people aboard the cruise ship started singing happy birthday. I am beyond grateful and speechless.
It made my birthday extra special, same with my cousin.
Shukran, Salamat, thank you very much, Elsayed for such a surprised wonderful birthday experienced.
Ps. Thanks for taking such beautiful pictures and always looking after us. We love the cake as well! Yummy!

After an exhaustive search of options among tour companies, Egypt Tour Portal offered the most complete plan for 6 days. They had positive reviews, and their email response was prompt. The hotel selection was excellent, featuring 4- to 5-star accommodations with a varied breakfast included. We had comfortable private transportation with A/C for two people at most locations. Airport assistance in Cairo was excellent; however, in Aswan, communication was lacking as the person waited outside without a sign or knowledge of our names.
Our tour guides were as follows:
• In Cairo, on both the first and last days, we were with Michael Youssef, who was outstanding—highly recommended at 1000%, along with our driver, Hassan.
• In Luxor, our guide was Youmna, who provided excellent service, was patient, and delivered information in a clear, engaging manner.
However, our experience with the guide in Aswan was not positive. Much of the information was given on the bus before arriving, it was a large group, and we only had 1.5 hours at the site on our own.
Areas for improvement:
• The travel route should be organized as follows: Cairo, Abu Simbel, Aswan, Luxor. In our case, we were sent from Cairo to Aswan, then by car 3.5 hours to Abu Simbel, and then another 3.5 hours back—totaling 7 hours on the road—before taking an additional 3-hour train to Luxor. This entire day was wasted in transit.
• Additionally, at the hotel in Aswan, we were checked into a beautiful room with a balcony but two twin beds, even though we are a couple on our honeymoon. When we requested a change, we were told there were no other rooms available as they were fully booked. Upset, I asked to speak with the front desk manager. After mentioning my 16 years working with Marriott, the response changed immediately, and they provided a new room.
The company has a personalized website with all necessary information, schedules, and guides, which is excellent. However, adjusting these details would help create an unforgettable, seamless experience.

We travelled to Cairo for 4 nights with our 2 kids (age 5 & 10) and had the best trip.
We were collected from the airport without any issues and brought to the hotel. The next morning our driver and tour guide arrived on time and brought us straight to the Giza Pyramids. Our guide “Max” was incredible, very friendly, easy to talk about anything with (very knowledgeable), he was open about which places we could go see and what might be better with the kids etc.. he explained things to the kids directly and they really liked him.
We loved the pyramids and Max took plenty of photos from all angles for us (without us asking, he was always offering to take my phone at every opportunity). We did the horse and carriage to get a great view of the pyramids (extra cost) and then we headed to the Papyrus shop to see how they make the paper and bought some souvenirs. Then we visited the Sphinx where we had plenty of time to explore. We enjoyed the lunch provided. (Drinks are separate)
Day 2 we went to the Egyptian museum, Max brought us to the most famous pieces and explained everything to us. Then we had free time to wander. We went to the open bazaar and experienced real Cairo which was special. It was nice to have Max so we didn’t have to say no to every vendor. We enjoyed a little stroll through without needing to buy anything (we bought souvenirs at the museum shop).
We went to the hanging church but I got a headache so we stopped at a pharmacy and Max bought me some tablets (wouldn’t let me pay). We added a Nile felucca boat trip on as an extra ($50 for 4 of us) and it was amazing.. floating on the river with Max telling us all about life in Cairo.. it is one of my favourite moments. We had the boat to ourselves too.
Day 3 we had a free day to enjoy the hotel and pool.
I can honestly recommend Cairo and this tour company for families. We made lots of fantastic memories and especially have to recommend Max as a guide.

We had an incredible experience with our tour operator, Shorouk Karam, during our trip to Egypt. From the moment we began planning, Shorouk was extremely responsive, detailed, and kind. She went above and beyond to ensure we felt reassured and confident about our itinerary, which made the lead-up to the trip completely stress-free.
Throughout our journey, Shorouk was always available to assist us, helping with any needs that arose and making sure everything was perfectly organized. Her meticulous planning and warm demeanor turned what could have been a complex trip into an effortlessly enjoyable experience. Shorouk truly made our trip to Egypt unforgettable! 10/10 :)

Our group had the most incredible experience exploring Cairo with Abanoub on the last day of our trip. Despite it not being part of the itinerary, he graciously agreed to show us the city authentically. Riding the metro and taking the bus gave us a genuine taste of local life. We savored authentic Egyptian cuisine at popular spots frequented by locals, indulging in delicious dishes that truly captured the essence of the culture. Sampling ice cream and sugar cane juice added to the sensory delight of our adventure. Visiting a local boutique specializing in handmade products was a highlight, offering a glimpse into Cairo's artisanal craftsmanship. Our guide's insight and hospitality made this unplanned excursion unforgettable, leaving us with cherished memories of Cairo beyond the typical tourist sites. I highly recommended Abanoub for anyone seeking an authentic local experience in this vibrant city.

Egypt Tours Portal are very professional. They helped us select the sights to see (it was our 1st time) and provided us with end to end support from the minute we stepped off the plane. Egypt is quite modern but can be hard to navigate for those who don't speak Arabic so we were very grateful for the guides who even rode with us to our hotel. The tours were very well planned, we rarely experienced any delays. The guides knew exactly when to see what and for how long. They were extremely experienced and made a very complex and beautiful civilization accessible for 1st time visitors. The best part was the deep knowledge held by both guides provided by the portal - Ahmed El Gohary in Cairo and Omar Haridi in Luxor, Kom Ombo, Edfu and Aswan. They could answer a range of questions right from small questions to questions that are still being debated by Egyptologists. We learned so much from them, particularly Omar, who is an expert in hieroglyphics and made us capable of reading a basic cartouche. We were a group that spanned three generations with varying needs in terms of diet (2 vegetarians) and constraints in terms of mobility. The guides were very patient and took extra special care of us- giving us their full attention and patience. Ahmed is gentle and soft-spoken expert. Omar is a vivacious person whose sense of humor and expertise commands your attention and ensures the whole group is learning and laughing the whole trip. Would highly recommend Egypt Tours Portal for the quality of guides and strong local networks of hotels, cruises and drivers.

Our guide in Cairo, Biko, was amazing. Highly knowledgeable on all aspects, ancient history as well as modern. We had some last minute requests to add to the itinerary and he was able to arrange them without any problems. His advice on local food ideas should definitely be followed as we ate some amazing Egyptian food. Always mindful that we wanted lots of photos he was able to tell us the history of each place very efficiently so that we had free time to explore and snap pics even with a busy schedule.
We met Mahmoud for our south Egypt tour and Nile cruise. Top notch guide again, there wasn't a date or fact he didn't know. He really brought the temples and tombs to life with his explanations. We had some early starts that raised a few eyebrows but following Mahmoud it all made sense in the end as we were often first to the sights at the top of the queue and seeing the temples in quiet splendour.
Biko and Mahmoud are definitely brilliant guides.
The company overall was great in their communications and drivers were always on time exactly.
Highly recommended booking with Egypt tours portal.

What a unique experience. First, he picked us up punctually at the hotel and in the car we got a glimpse of the “crazy traffic” of old Cairo. Then the car dropped us off near an oriental restaurant where we had a feast of traditional food. Afterwards, there were the traveling bazaars, the stores specializing in cotton and oils, the rides on the subway and public bus, ending the afternoon with the most exquisite ice cream. Abanoub helped us discover a Cairo we never knew existed and we ended up wanting more.

We had an excellent 9 days private tour organised by Egypt Tour Portals end to end, including Cairo, Nile cruise and Alexandria for a group of 8 people including children. The logistics were well planned, the vehicles, guides and drivers were all very good and helpful. The company staff went out of their way to help and take care of our needs.
Mr Amr Moses - our tour guide and Egyptologist in Cairo and Alexandria was excellent, very responsive, friendly and catered to our requests .
He has good humour and wide knowledge about the history of Egypt. He speaks good English. Communication was smooth and clear .
I would highly recommend him.
Mr Nour Atef, our guide during the Nile cruise was also very good, knowledgable and helpful.
Ms Shorouk Karam - special thanks to her, she coordinated the booking of the entire trip and the logistics onshore. She went out of her way to accommodate our last minutes requirements to the best of her abilities.
Only one suggestion, the planning got a bit hectic for our liking on certain days, especially very early morning starts and with kids. Some of these were unavoidable given the logistics, but it may be worthwhile for the company to share with their guests a rough hour by hour schedule for each day, and take their feedback before booking. Appreciate it not be practical to accommodate all requests or they may be extra charges, but this way the you may have heard the guest in advance, or atleast managed expectations and avoided last minute surprises!
Overall a very good agency and excellent staff. Recommended.

We finished the full tour around 4.30pm, our flight wasn’t until 10.30pm the last flight out of Cairo back to Hurghada, only suggestion is try for an earlier flight. We tried but they were all full so we just waited.

Hi
I am thinking of booking this trip but we are worried about the safety aspect, and also thinking of the Luxor add on.
Thank you

Hiya, we felt totally safe the whole time during this trip. Our tour guides stepped in whenever they thought we were struggling but that was only with people trying to sell us things anyway! I had no concerns at all about our safety and everyone we met was really friendly but not too in your face. I don’t know what else to say apart from we didn’t let fears about safety effect our decision to take the trip and definitely don’t regret it.

How much is it per person. I did this years ago with my son and we had a river Nile cruise with lunch. Is this not possible. Is breakfast and tea coffee water included. ? We coming in June. But I had heart surgery. If in Cairo gets too much for me is their air con coffee shops or can I remain in car whilst my husband visits some sites.

We will be staying at Premier Le Reve in Hurghada and would like take a trip via air to Cairo. Do you arrange pick up from that hotel? What is the estimated pick up time and return time? What is recommended when it comes to tipping and bringing with us on such trip? Are entry fees to museum included? Is there a camel ride available?
