What our guests say about traveling local

Genuine reviews from real travelers on our multi-day tours and Nile cruises. Egypt Tours by Locals is operated by Egypt Planners — specialists in complete Egypt travel packages, not just day trips.

★★★★★

“Our guide didn’t just show us the Pyramids — she made us feel what it meant to build them. The private morning at the Grand Egyptian Museum with no crowds was extraordinary. A truly local experience, not a tourist conveyor belt.”

“Our consultant knew every guard, every way around the crowds, and told us stories not in any guidebook. We’ve done tours in 30 countries. This was the most engaged we’ve ever been.”

“They designed our entire 12-day itinerary personally, then guided us through every day. As history enthusiasts we had very specific requests — they exceeded every one. Their knowledge of Nubian culture in Aswan was extraordinary.”

Frequently asked questions

Egypt package tours — FAQs

What is included in Egypt tour packages?
Our Egypt package tours include: licensed local guide, 4 or 5-star hotel accommodation, daily breakfast, all monument entrance fees (Pyramids, Grand Egyptian Museum, Valley of the Kings, Karnak, Abu Simbel), private air-conditioned transfers, and all domestic flights listed in the itinerary for 8-day and above packages. International flights, travel insurance, visa fee, tips, and personal meals not on the itinerary are not included.
Are Egypt package tours customisable?
Yes — every package we offer can be fully customised at no extra charge. You can adjust duration, add or remove destinations, upgrade hotels, change Nile cruise tier, or build a completely bespoke Egypt tour from scratch. Tell us your wishlist and we deliver a personalised day-by-day itinerary within 24 hours, free, no obligation.
What is the best Egypt package tour for first-time visitors?
For first-time visitors, the 8-Day Egypt Package covering Cairo, a 4-night Nile cruise, and Abu Simbel gives the most satisfying experience without feeling rushed. If time is limited, the 6-Day Affordable Tour covering Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan is the best compact option. Both include all entrance fees and a licensed local guide.
How much do Egypt package tours cost?
Egypt package tours range from $1,200 per person (7-day Siwa desert tour) to $3,850 per person (12-day Egypt & Turkey multi-country tour). The most popular 8-day package starts from $1,700 per person. All prices include entrance fees, transfers, accommodation, and a licensed local guide.
Is Egypt safe for tourists in 2026?
Yes — Egypt is safe for tourists in 2026, particularly in Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and along the Nile Valley. Tourist police are stationed at all major monuments. We have guided private groups from 32 countries since 2012 without incident. Traveling with an experienced local operator is the single most important factor in a safe Egypt experience.
What is the best time to visit Egypt?
October through April is Egypt's prime travel season. November offers the ideal balance of mild temperatures (18–26°C), beautiful Nile light, and moderate crowds. December–January has best weather but highest prices. Summer (June–August) is extremely hot (40°C+) with lowest prices — manageable on a Nile cruise where A/C cabins and early-morning touring provide relief.
Do Egypt package tours include international flights?
Our packages are land-only, beginning and ending at Cairo International Airport. International flights from your home country are not included, allowing you to book the best fares independently. All domestic flights within Egypt required by the itinerary are included in 8-day and above packages — Cairo to Luxor, Aswan to Cairo, Abu Simbel excursions, etc.
Are Egypt package tours suitable for families with children?
Egypt is one of the world's best family destinations. Children aged 6+ are fascinated by pyramids, mummies, and ancient treasure. Our family-specialist guides adapt storytelling for younger audiences, include camel rides and interactive temple activities, and pace itineraries to avoid exhaustion. We recommend October, November, or February for family tours.
Are all-inclusive Egypt tour packages available?
Our Nile cruise packages are effectively all-inclusive — accommodation, all meals onboard, licensed local guides, site entry fees, and domestic flights. Cairo city packages include accommodation, breakfasts, guides, and all scheduled tours. We can create a fully all-inclusive package including all meals on request — simply ask when getting your custom quote.
How do I book an Egypt package tour?
Booking is straightforward: (1) Contact us or use our trip planner with your dates and interests. (2) We send a personalised day-by-day itinerary within 24 hours. (3) Review and refine until perfect — no fees for changes. (4) Secure with a 30% deposit. (5) Full payment is due 60 days before departure. Free cancellation up to 45 days before travel.
What is your cancellation policy?
Full refund for cancellations 45+ days before departure. 50% refund for cancellations 30–44 days before. No refund less than 30 days before departure — we strongly recommend travel insurance to cover this window. In documented force majeure situations (illness, government travel restrictions), we offer free date rescheduling.
Can solo travellers book Egypt package tours?
Absolutely. We offer fully private solo tours with complete flexibility and personalised attention — the same guide, same entrance fees, same service as any other group. All our tours are 100% private (your group only). Solo travellers can also request to join a small group departure (max 12 people) to share costs.
Is tipping expected and are visa fees included?
Tips and visa fees are not included in package prices. Egypt e-Visa costs approximately $25 (available at evisa.gov.eg or on arrival at Cairo Airport). Tipping guidelines: private guide $10–20/day per couple, private driver $5–10/day. We send all guests a full pre-departure guide covering tipping, visa application, currency, and practical tips.
