We spent 8 days in Egypt. We were guided by Mr.Abdullah, whose fine, relevant and penetrating comments allowed us to fully grasp the significance of these places.
I booked this a week in advance and was contacted the night prior to my reservation. Hend , our travel guide, provided my wife and I an unforgettable experience. While this sounds cliche, it really was an absolute bargain for the treatment ..we received. Our guide, Manar, and our driver, picked us up at the entrance of our hotel at 8 am sharp. She was an expert at the information she provided (a certified Egyptologist with graduate level experience on the matter). She provided us 9.5 hours of tour guidance (more than expected) and a wealth of information. Egypt is a place we had never been, so we were a bit apprehensive of buying souvenirs and navigating some of the archaeological sites. Manar took us to unique and authentic shops where she helped us get excellent prices and guided us away from bad deals. I forgot to mention, she is also a photographer, so if you’ve got a good camera or smartphone, she takes wonderful shots. The best bargain we received while visiting Cairo was hands down the tour guidance. My wife and I fell in love with the city and the incredible sights because of the guidance and information she provided on our excursion. Yes, you can see the sights without a tour guide, but having a personal driver and an expert on the tours will make your stay stress free. She did everything for us.same everythings happened when we went to cruise in Luxor and Aswan the stuff was helpful and guide and driver also was nice and professionalRead full review
Overall I am very happy. The stays in the Hotels and the Cruise were just fantastic.
I could feel a few thing which need to be improved:
1. There was a lack of planning on the part of the Local person from Book&Go.
2. Everyday we had to do.. a lot of follow-up with him to know the next day's timings and the information about the guide. This was a big lag. The guest should be well aware of each day's activity with timings and the contact person with his phone number
3. Every place there was a new guide.
4. We faced challenges at Luxor. The guide was arrogant. He declined to take us inside the structure to explain the monuments. He simply used to take us through the corridors and told us that he is not allowed to go inside with us and explain. Whereas other guides were doing so.
5. He and the driver on 28th were very pushy about the tipping. Although we had already paid the tips at the rate of $21 per day to the person at Cairo on 25th for all the 8 days.
6. The driver was very loud in speaking and we were kind of threatened.
7. The Local person at Cairo also took $195 ($65 per person) as guarantee (on returnable basis).
8. On the cruise, all the programs were put on the notice board in French, Dutch and German language. But there was nothing in English. I was told that putting the schedule on the notice board was the responsibility of the guide. And we never knew about our guide in advance and there was non on the cruise with us.
Still I will say that we enjoyed our trip.Read full review
Aly made perfect arrangements for us at Hurghada and probably booked us on one of the best cruise boats for the Red Sea snorkeling tour. The water was crystal clear with a colourful marine life, those overly sized corals were just unlike an..ything else in phuket and krabi. I highly recommend to snorkel in red sea with tours4fun.Read full review
We booked for our 7 days Egypt trip package with Tours4Fun and they made our trip very memorable by their hospitality and profressionalism. They taken care of us since from the arrival in Cairo airport by clearing the immigration, collectin..g the baggage, getting the sim card and transport it to the hotel and the check in process. All went smooth and we met Mr. Ali on that day and he explained us the complete itinerary and adjusted the programme as per our compability.
Throughout the trip all of them kept their time promptly. That was big surprise for us.
We did our two days trip in Cairo along with Ms. Amina who has in-depth knowledge of Egypt (no wonder since she is doing this for last 19 years) and she shared all of them and answered all my lil boy silly questions. She took us all around and explained us the complete history. Kinda of knowledge transfer. She was engaging with all us at all times and entertaining my lil daughter. She also showed us the locations where to take the snaps for better output and she took most of the snaps of us. She got us the excellent local food and assisted us to do our shopping.
As an add on, we took Nile Dinner cruise. They picked us from the hotel well in advance and Mr. Mohammed made us to be the first guest inside the cruise. We had good times inthe cruise.
On the 3rd day we went to Alexandria by car where we met Mr. Islam. He also an very nice and knowledgeable person. He took us all around Alexandria and took us to a one of the best restaurant over there for lunch. He is even more patience and make sure about our compatibility all the times. He also showed his knowledge about the history and make sure whether we are getting the informations properly.
Mr. Ali and the company really got the good peoples with them like Ms. Amina, Mr. Islam, Mr. Mohammed and our vehicle driver(thakar???). All of them are really showed their professionalism and commitment towards their job. Big appreciation.
Mr. Ali also checked with us through Whatsapp and phone call from the day oneto the last day. And even he told to contact for any issues at anytime and he lived with his words.
To confuse this, we had an wonderful time in Egypt and this tour operator made this possible and lived up to our expectations. Highly recommendable, especially when you are visiting with family and I hope they will provide the same support in future too..

Excellent and prompt communication, punctuality and coordination were key points from Mr. Ali Mohammad from Egypt his team to make our trip a very enjoyable one. Guides at different places put in their best efforts to give pertinent histori..cal details.
The entire stafff involved was highly courteous.
3 days NILE Cruise was a memorable one.
Only point which was not liked , was the Security Deposit in cash of $ 220 asked by Hotel Mercure in Cairo for 2 days stay on last leg of the trip. Mostly these days only Credit cards are carried by travellers. How odd willl be situation if one is not carrying cash $ . I have to wait till check out to get my deposit back .
Else Hitel Mercure was very good with excellent rooms and big spread for breakfastRead full review

This tour was below my expectations, in Cairo, I had only one day of activities, the four mentioned in two days can be done entirely in a full day tour (starting from 9 am to 4-5pm). In Luxor, the tours included last around 2-3 hours per da..y so I had almost the entire day free. If you want to continue visiting extra attractions, you have to pay around 40-50 USD extra per activity, so it's better to find accommodation on your own and start booking tours individually.Read full review
When I ordered this tour, I was worried about the low price of the tour fee. However, when we arrived at Cairo Airport, all our anxieties blew away. Although our plane was delayed, we were able to meet the tour guide without problems. When.. we arrived at the hotel, Mr. Ali was waiting and helped the hotel check-in. I was deeply moved by his work and hospitality. Thanks to Ali and Ahmed, this trip has become memorable. I'd like to recommend to everyone planning to travel in Egypt.Read full review
If you are considering taking this company's Egypt Luxury tour, do it! My 30-year old daughter and I were fortunate enough to make this trip of a lifetime this year and it was perfect from start to finish.
We were shepherded every step of ..the way by one or more guides who handled everything: baggage, transportation to every destination (via private vans, boats), sightseeing tickets/tours, tips, most meals. The 5-star accommodations were amazing and memorable - we hated to leave all of them! The trip also includes many unique dining experiences.Read full review
We booked an 8-day holiday with Tours4fun, and the entire trip was amazing, incredibly well-organised, and hassle-free. From being met at the airport, driven to a wonderful hotel overlooking the pyramids, and having two superb guides who we..re extremely knowledgable and friendly (one in Cairo and one on our Luxor-Aswan boat trip). There is not a single thing we could fault with the service offered. The accommodation was perfect, and the overall cost of the entire trip was well below what we could have organised on our own. A tremendous company to deal with, and the owner (Ahmed) is delightful.Read full review
The company was able to provide quite a comprehensive itinerary and very affordable price compared with other we decided to make Cairo, Nile cruise and Marsa Alam. This provided us with a bit of culture and a bit of relaxation.
Tours4fun provided us with holiday in Egypt that we will never forget. We had 8 days in Egypt and split the time between Cairo and the Nile (cruising from Luxor to Aswan). As soon as we landed in Cairo, everything was easy, efficient and se..cure - from the minute they met us as we walked off the plane. They were happy to accommodate our requests, booking the hotel we wanted in Cairo (Mena House, historic hotel at the base of the pyramids) with no trouble. All hotels, van transportation to sites, flights to Luxor and back from Aswan, the Nile cruise, everything was taken care of by Tours4fun. We did not have to worry about anything after we arrived. Could not have been better!Read full review
What an excited trip! It was an incredible experience. First of all, the guide was so nice. He almost can take care of everything. Then, this time, the tour wasn’t that tired. Cities there are so beautiful. Can’t wait for the next time ..to be back here.Read full review
I love the Nile. This was the first time to be here. The feeling that stand in front of the Nile was beyond my words.There are more natural sightseeing waiting for me to discover! Can’t wait!
