What we mean by “group tour”

Group energy, without the coach full of strangers

When people ask about a “group tour”, they’re usually picturing two different things: a bus of 30 strangers on a fixed schedule, or a trip shared with people they actually know. We only build the second kind. Bring your own group of 4 to 12 — family, friends, a work team, a travel club — and we design one private itinerary for your party alone.

The result keeps the best part of group travel — company, shared moments, split costs — without the worst part: a shared guide’s attention, a fixed pace, and people you’ve never met setting the schedule. Your group travels with a Ministry-licensed local guide and a dedicated vehicle, on dates you choose.

Want to travel privately with just your own party but don’t need the group-pricing structure? Our standard private tours work identically for 2 people as they do for 12.

Why book as a group

Eight reasons to bring your own crowd

Small By Design — Max 12

We cap every group at 12 travellers. Not 20, not 40 — 12. It’s the size at which a guide can still give genuine individual attention.

Same Guide Standard as Private Tours

The same Ministry-licensed local guides who lead our private tours lead group departures — group size never means a lower guiding standard.

Costs Shared Across Your Group

Guide, vehicle and logistics costs split across your party, meaningfully lowering the per-person price versus a private-only quote for the same itinerary.

Full Egypt Coverage

The complete circuit is available as a group itinerary — Cairo, the Pyramids, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Luxor, the Valley of the Kings and a Nile cruise.

Your Own Private Vehicle

Your group travels together in one dedicated air-conditioned vehicle — never combined with another booking or mixed with other travellers.

All-Inclusive, No Surprises

4-star hotels, daily breakfast, your licensed guide, all domestic flights and every monument entrance fee — itemised and confirmed before you fly.

14 Years Running Group Trips

Since 2012, we’ve organised group trips for families, friend circles and travel clubs — we know the pacing and logistics that make a group of 12 work smoothly.

One Group, One WhatsApp Thread

Once confirmed, everyone in your party gets added to a single trip WhatsApp thread with your consultant — one place for questions, updates and documents.

How group pricing works

Bigger group, lower cost per person

How the maths works

Shared fixed costsYour guide and vehicle cost the same whether 4 or 12 people travel — spread across more people, the per-person price drops meaningfully.
No fixed departures to wait forBecause it’s your private group, we don’t need a minimum headcount or a set calendar date — you choose when you travel.

What’s included

Always included4-star hotel accommodation, daily breakfast, your Ministry-licensed guide, all domestic flights within Egypt, all monument entrance fees, and private group transport throughout.
Not includedInternational flights — everything from Cairo airport arrivals onward is ours to handle.

Fewer than 4 travelling? Our standard private tours cover 1–3 people at the same 100% private standard.

"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."

Answers

Small group tours — questions & answers

What is the maximum group size?
12 travellers. We enforce this on every group booking — it’s the size at which your guide can still give genuine individual attention while the group still shares one itinerary, one guide and one vehicle.
Do we need to already have 12 people?
No — group pricing applies from 4 travellers upward. Families of 4–6, friend groups of 6–8, or full parties of 10–12 are all common. Below 4, our standard private tours (built for 1–3 people) offer the same 100% private standard.
Will we be combined with other travellers?
No. Every group tour is built exclusively for your own party — your family, friends or travel club. We never combine separate bookings into one shared group, and your guide and vehicle are dedicated to your group alone.
What is included in a group tour package?
4-star hotel accommodation, daily breakfast, a Ministry-licensed local guide, all domestic flights within Egypt, all monument entrance fees, and private group transport throughout. International flights are the only thing you book yourself.
How do we arrange dates if there are no fixed departures?
Because your group tour is private to your party, we don’t work from a fixed public calendar — you tell us your preferred dates and we confirm availability, typically within 24 hours. This also means no minimum-headcount risk of a departure being cancelled.

Who plans your trip: every group itinerary is designed by our Cairo-based team led by Maro Saeed, Tour Consultant & Travel Advisor — one contact for your whole party, from first message to departure.
