My second Wendy Wu tour - Egypt was utterly fantastic. Small group of 14 excellent guides - well thought out itinerary - excellent hotels.
It was an absolute joy to be on board.

Great experience. Trip of a lifetime. Saw loads of interesting things I wanted to see most if my life but disappointed with time at GEM. I had been postponing my trip for the opening and half a hour of free time was not nearly enough. Another hour would have helped and another 2 would have been awesome! Things were a bit rushed in a few places but mostly very enjoyable and I learnt a lot of new things. Ravi was great and full of information and had some interesting theories I had not heard before.

This is a very well organised tour which covers all the main sites in Egypt including a trip to Alexandria and El Alamein. Although there is a packed itinerary we never felt particularly rushed. This was helped by a good group size of 14. Both our national tour guide, Shady, and our Egyptologist, Karim, were excellent and knowledgeable right from beginning to the end of the tour. They helped us negotiate through the general chaos of the airports from obtaining our visas to ensuring we were safely through security checks and checked in for our flights home. Not only did we receive comprehensive information at each historical site but also had many opportunities to discuss what modern day life is like for the Egyptians. There were many highlights on the tour but we particularly enjoyed visiting the newly opened Great Egyptian Museum seeing the Tutankhamen exhibition and entering the incredibly well preserved tomb of Sety I in the Valley of the Kings.
The food was of a good standard throughout our stay but particularly good on the boat where the accommodation was excellent. The only hotel that was probably below the standard we expected was the Hilton in Alexandria which was sadly disappointing and a change from the originally scheduled hotel. You should also be aware that there are a number of very early starts in the day either to ensure seats on an internal flight or to reach a historic site before too many tourists arrived. We did not find this to be a problem but some in our group found these days to be very tiring. We would recommend taking or exchanging some money for small denomination Egyptian pounds to cover drinks and public toilets.
If you have ever wanted to visit Egypt to see and learn about it's culture then we would highly recommend this tour.

We were very well looked after from arrival to departure. Tour manager and guide were both excellent. The tour was very well organised. There was plenty of food and water, hotels and cruise cabin of a high quality.

Excellent service. All my questions were answered and booking was a simple process. I was kept informed throughout and confirmation details received promptly.

I phoned Wendy Wu to book a tour. I was interested in the cost of different options for flights and the person I spoke to (Steve) was happy to get the information I needed and passed it on in an understandable manner.

A well organised and planned tour of the key sites in Egypt. Wendy Wu local and National Guides were excellent. Ahmed our local guide ensured everything ran smoothly for us from the moment we landed at Cairo airport. Our hotels, meals and luggage were organised seemlessly and all with a friendly and welcoming smile brilliant.
Faisal Islam, our National Guide ,was extremely knowledgeable about the sites we visited and fitted them into wider historical context for us.Tours and visits were organised to spare us the hottest of the day wherever possible. He also organised everything smoothly for us during our Nile Cruise. He was helpful and made us all feel safe and confident from the moment we met him. He broke up the long journeys to and from Abu Simbel with information and humour.A quality Egyptologist and tour guide.
We were disappointed that the G.E.M. was closed for its opening ceremony when we visited but Faisal made the artifacts remaining in Tahrir Square fascinating for us.
Thank you Wendy Wu for a wonderful informing and relaxing (at times )tour to remember.

I have run out of superlatives. The trip was outstanding from beginning to end: great organisation on the part of the tour manager; spectacular sights, and an extremely knowledgeable Egyptologist who made sense of the ancient texts and hieroglyphs for us. All involved were very warm and friendly, including the crew on the Nile cruise, which was just perfect. An unforgettable experience.

Phone answered promptly and info on Holiday explained. The rep even mentioned a price reduction and savings which was a very pleasant surprise. Managed to book over the phone and deposit paid. All in all a good experience

We travelled to China with you in 2018 which was excellent and we were unsure if this tour would be as good, but it was even better. We had 11 days of absolutely "Wow"  -  the tour completely exceeded our expectations and we plan to visit India next year with you. Thank you.

Very well organised tour, from being picked up at Cairo Airport to our departure from it (tour guide Isaac even came to the hotel at Cairo Airport at 4 am to take us to the terminal for the journey home). We felt entirely safe throughout the whole tour, not knowing what to expect, and the memories don't just include the amazing antiquities of Egypt but also seeing real life in Egypt as we ventured to Pyramids, Temples and Museums.

The air conditioned tour bus was always there for us, taking us to and from some amazing sights (and sites) which we will never forget. The hotels were very nice, but special praise for the cruise up the Nile. We didn't want to get off the boat and the staff were so nice - as was the food!

The tour guide throughout, Islam the Egyptologist, was excellent - extremely knowledgeable, good sense of humour, patient and always prepared to answer our questions. "Mashi Mashi".

Just don't know how it took us so long (years not travel time) to get to this amazing place. As with our excellent trip to China last year, Wendy Wu really deliver! We will be looking at their South East Asia offerings for next year.

Helpful and efficient

It was fascinating visiting Giza pyramids, all the temples and necropolis, specially Luxor and Abu Symbel. Both Muhammad Abdel-Hamid and Toqa Mohymen were very friendly, caring and knowledgeable. They looked after us so well, there was nothing they wouldn't do to help us.

However, in my opinion, the tour felt a little rushed and it would have been interesting to go to a place were they make the papyrus. Also, maybe we could have had some time to do some sightseeing in Cairo and Aswan and have a tour of an important bazar.

All in all, it was a very enlightening tour, visiting some fascinating, beautifull relief and hieroglyphic-covered temples. An unforgettable experience!

Excellent tour showing us everything we’d ever dreamed of seeing.
Excellent guides and some fantastic hotels and places to eat
