Marlene Faye Crockett –
Every day of this tour felt like opening a new chapter in a living storybook. We explored tombs, temples, and palaces, then lounged on the beach with coconut drinks. Our Nile cruise had everything—buffets, parties, and even cooking demos. In Cairo, our guide explained the symbolism behind pyramid design and the spiritual beliefs of ancient Egyptians. Then we’d relax at night in our hotel with rooftop views. I didn’t think a trip could be this educational and this indulgent at the same time
Luther Hank Ellis –
This tour managed to be both deeply educational and seriously fun. I’ve always wanted to see the Giza Pyramids up close, and they did not disappoint. But the surprise highlight? A sunset boat ride in Aswan with drums and dancing. By the time we got to Sharm, we were ready for hammocks and seafood. The hotels were immaculate, and I appreciated how everything moved at a relaxed pace, even when we were packing in the sights. You can tell this trip was designed with care.
Daisy Belle McClure –
Never thought I’d go from riding a camel past the pyramids to scuba diving with tropical fish in the same vacation. Egypt is the ultimate combo. Luxor’s temples were awe-inspiring, but I’ll admit I got emotional at the Temple of Hatshepsut—such powerful energy there. Every transfer was on time, every meal delicious. Our group felt like family by day three. I even picked up some Arabic phrases thanks to our hilarious guide. Can’t wait to show off the 100+ pics I took!

We started our adventure under the shadow of the Great Pyramid and ended it in flip-flops on the shores of Sharm El Sheikh. This tour has layers. There’s the grandeur of Karnak Temple, the mystery of the Sphinx, and then there’s sipping cold drinks at a Red Sea resort. Our rooms were always pristine, and the Nile cruise felt more like a boutique hotel on water. I especially loved our stop at Kom Ombo—who knew crocodile gods were a thing? Highly entertaining and educational

We didn’t know it was possible to squeeze so much beauty, fun, and history into 12 days, but this trip nailed it. Seeing Abu Simbel in the morning light was something spiritual. Our guide explained how the temples were moved to avoid being flooded—mind-blowing. The cruise from Aswan to Luxor was smooth, and every meal felt like a feast. Sharm was our chill zone—beachfront rooms, colorful coral reefs, and spa time. This was more than just a vacation—it was a deep dive into one of the world’s richest cultures.
Waylon Buck Garrison –
This tour made us laugh, learn, and lounge—all in equal measure. One minute we’re decoding hieroglyphics, the next we’re eating koshari at a rooftop café. I appreciated how everything was taken care of. No guessing, no stress. Just follow the guide and enjoy the ride. The night in Aswan with Nubian music by the river was unforgettable. And those pyramids? Yep, just as giant as they look on TV. If you’re wondering whether 12 days is too long—trust me, it flies by.
Nancy Sue Whitmore –
We’re still pinching ourselves. From day one in Cairo, we felt like we’d stepped into a time machine. Giza’s pyramids were as majestic as we’d imagined, but cruising the Nile was the highlight for us. Floating past temples while having afternoon tea? Unbeatable. The accommodations were top-notch throughout—think chandeliers and towel swans. When we reached Sharm, it was like hitting paradise mode: snorkeling, camel rides, and the softest sands ever. Every moment felt curated and personal, not like those huge bus tours.
Jed Carlton Mays –
We spent 12 days being pampered, guided, and amazed. What stood out most was the balance between culture and relaxation. One day we were exploring the Temple of Philae with our guide explaining the goddess Isis, and the next we were sipping fresh mango juice poolside at a beach resort in Sharm. The cruise ship itself was a floating palace, and the staff were so welcoming. Even the van rides between destinations had Wi-Fi and snacks. It’s rare to find a tour that ticks every box—history, adventure, and luxury—but this one does it all.
Billy Ray Dobbins –
Waking up on a luxury cruise gliding through the Nile felt like a movie scene. From the moment we landed in Cairo, our personal guide made us feel like royalty. We kicked things off with the epic Giza Pyramids—those colossal blocks are even more mind-blowing in person. After a couple of days exploring temples and tombs from Aswan to Luxor, we hopped on a flight to Sharm El Sheikh. I didn’t know the desert could be that fun! Think dune buggies, camels, and Bedouin tea under the stars. This trip was a perfect mix of ancient wonders and modern comfort. Our hotels had rooftop pools, the transportation was seamless, and the vibes? Chef’s kiss.
