A friend and I went to Cairo, Giza, and Nile cruise from Aswan to luxor . These guys made the trip so easy and enjoyable. We never had to worry about the little things and they took care of everything for us. There were some activities that.. only one of us wanted to participate in and overlapped with the other persons plan, but they made it work seamlessly. The tour Leader and guides are very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the local culture, traditions, and history. The hotels and activities were fabulous. I was hesitant at using a tour company, wasn't sure why I would pay for someone to do something that I could do just as easily. After this trip I am a believer of using tour companies. I would recommend this company to anyone consider traveling to the areas they serve thank you team and aliRead full review

The review below was by my daughter Isabelle We visited the Egyptian museum and the pyramids of Giza during our trip in Egypt. Those pyramids are so huge, you can't imagine! Pyramids were built by pharaohs to protect the mummies and treasur..es of them. The first thing that most pharaohs do when they become pharaoh is start the construction of their pyramids, because it takes a long time and it is the tradition. The Egyptian museum has so many ancient artifacts that it'll take you forever to see everything. There is so much too see, from giant stone statues to priceless jewelry. We saw the tombs of the pharaohs and so much shining jewelry. I can't believe that they were so RICH.Read full review
What a revelation! Book & Go Egypt provided world class service to my wife, Xiomara and I. Ali placed strict scrutiny on every detail of our itinerary, and went above and beyond to ensure we received timely and impeccable service. Egypt'..s rich Pharaonic history was brought to life by Sahar and Muhammad, and our personal tour soon became a trip with good friends. Our vacation proved to be a once in a lifetime experience!!Read full review
My wife and I had an incredible time with our guide Ahmed. He was by far the best guide we have ever had!! From helping to take pictures to taking us to the best places around he let us know everything we wanted to know about the history of.. the region and sites and answered all of our questions. Our driver Machde (may be misspelled) and tour manager Hassan were excellent as well! When we come to Egypt we will only use this agentRead full review
Egypt and trip to pyramids our to pyramids, Luxor, Aswan, Abu Simbel and Alexandria was fantastic, safe, very well organized and extremely enjoyable. Highly recommended. They also include bottled water, lunch meals in scenic places and wifi.. in car drives. Both tour guides Hassan and Amira were excellent. Mohamed is a archeologist, very experienced and had answers to all of our questions. Glad to see him very proud of ancient Egyptian history. He kindly took care of small tips to poor folks, e.g. Boat sailors. He was also generous to provide us a snack lunch meal to go as well where it was not included on one of the days. He is expert in reading & writing Hieroglyphics and wrote our family names for us as a great memory. Wonderful to have had his company. Five stars to him and . Amira was also very professional and accommodating. She gave us great tour. We felt home in company of both of these tour guides and enjoyed a lot! From airport transfers to hotel lodging, arranging our on demand optional tours of Nile cruise, etc and getting everything timely organized, Ihab was excellent. We also got local cell phone for easy communication. Overall trip price was good. The trip left us great memories with this tripRead full review
On day 5, our tour guide, Mohamed, a local Egyptian, born and raised in Kom Ombo, who studied tourism in college, passed a rigorous test and has been a guide for more than ten years. He speaks very good English and picked up an American acc..ent from his American clients. He is very knowledgeable, fun and nice. He took us to a local cafeteria and my dad tried Shesha. Today he took us to Edfu temple on horse carriage. In the temple he told us the legend of the feast when Hathour, Horus’s wife comes to see him. Horus stands on the shore waiting the arrival of the boat of Hathour. When he sees it, he takes his own boat out to meet her. After they dock, the priests take the holy boats of Hathour and Horus to the temple. The holy boat is a small boat that they put on a block of granite. Through the fourteen days of feast, the people of the town give their best offerings to the god and goddess. At the end of the celebration, when Hathour is going to leave, the priests bring Hathour’s holy boat to her boat and she sails out waving to Horus and awaiting the next meeting.Read full review
On day four, we visited Philae temple which was dedicated to the goddess Isis. Here goes the story. There was once a god and goddess, Geb and Nut. They were brother and sister. They married and had four children. Isis the goddess of love an..d beauty, Osiris the god of good, Set the god of evil and Nepthtees the goddess of magic. Isis married Osiris, but Set wanted to marry Isis because she was so beautiful, so Set planned to kill Osiris. He called every god and goddess except Isis to a party. He made a sarcophagus and told everyone that the sarcophagus would fit one and only one god or goddess. If the sarcophagus fit, that god or goddess would get the sarcophagus and all the treasures inside it. Every god and goddess tried it but when it was Osiris got in, Set closed the sarcophagus and threw it in the Nile river. Isis looked everywhere for her husband but when she found him, Set imprisones her and cuts Osiris into fourteen pieces and scattered the pieces. Isis then escapes the prison and finds each of the fourteen pieces of Osiris and cries on him. Osiris comes back to life and they have a son, Horus. Horus grows up to avenge his father and kills Set in a great battle. He cuts Set into fourteen pieces, but then drained his blood so he cannot come back to life. IsabelleRead full review
