It was a great experience. They picked us up at 3:30 from our cruise ship docked on the east side of the river. Then we were taken to the takeoff site where we watched the preparation od the balloons. Flew over Hatshepsut temple, Valley of the Kings etc and stopped for the sunrise over thr Nile. We were floating at over 700 m above the ground. The flight took around 50 minutes. Then we were driven back to the ship. Great! Totally recommend!

Our trip to Egypt was amazing! Our driver Mostafa and our guide Ali were very kind and flexible with our hectic schedules during our visit! They waited patiently for us outside the airport once, and another time outside the train station for hours. They also helped us to get our Covid-19 PCR Tests, which are required to travel internationally as of today. They treated us with much love and respect that it was easy to relax and enjoy the landscapes of the city or the mysteries of the pyramids. The camel ride was incredible and it was rather comical that the camels had names like Michael Jackson or 007. Ali was very knowledgeable and it depends on how much interest you have about the subject, he can go into fine detail about any question you might have concerning egyptology. Overall, a great experience that I would recommend everyone to do at least once in their lifetime. The locals are polite and they would like to know you so just be prepared to have random encounters with strangers wanting to know more about your culture and trying to have an exchange of ideas. The Pyramids are truly impressive. You can even see them from the sky when your airplane is getting ready to land in Cairo. One of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and the last one standing, is without a doubt something to behold. Thank you Wonders of Egypt Tours!

First of all, it is totally worth to visit Black and White desert, and the contents of the tour were great. Also the food we ate was delicious (although poor breakfast). I would totally skip the cold and hot springs stops. Why did I rate this tour as being poor? We initially booked the tour in January (2 months before our trip) for a private tour (my partner and myself). Everything was ok until 2 days before the tour when we thought of maybe cancelling it (because of coronavirus situation) and were told that we would have a discount because another couple was joining us. No other options offered, and finally we decided to go ahead. When they came to pick us up, it was a group of 4 joining us and we all had to go in a 6 seat car (we were 7 including the driver) for 4-4:30hours to get to Baharyia Oasis. The group of 4 also contracted the tour in January, and they were told that a couple was joining them on the same day the tour started. Once there at least we were offered two 4x4 to do the trip to the Black and White deserts. The drivers were just drivers, enough English to understand each other but not for long conversations. They weren't proper guides, didn't talk much, just took us from place to place. For the Black desert is important to wear closed trainers (as you climb a little mountain that can be slippery). One of the drivers was trying to be funny at some point, but it resulted in being pushy and unrespectful. There was one of the girls from the group who is vegeterian and didn´t have chicken, so he really insisted on her trying it... Also jokes to my partner saying that if I weren´t there for sure he would say that he would like to be with other women... It made us all feel very uncomfortable. At least the group of 4 who joined us was very nice and we had a good time with them! The other driver who was more quite played the drums at night after dinner which was nice. Last but not least, on the second day, we were supposed to have breakfast before the sun rise (we had breakfast at 7am, we all woke up before the drivers) and be in Barahyia Oasis by 10am. We got there at noon expecting to get some food (even if we had to pay extra), but no, the driver to get us back to Cairo was ready. We went back on the same uncomfortable car in a ride that took nearly 6 hours, specially because of Cairo´s traffic. The driver was nice and got a simple sandwich for each of us. It is a shame that it turned out to be like that, because the places you visit are simply amazing, gorgeous and stunning and absolutely a must if you have the time and budget.

My wife and I booked a small group tour very last notice in March 2021 with Egypt for Americans. They were very accommodating to our request and allowed us to make customizations to the tour such as a balloon ride over Luxor, a professional photographer session, tours to Alexandria, Memphis, and Dashur. We ended up being the only people on the tour, and rather than cancelling, they essentially gave us a private tour! All of the drivers, guides, and consultants were extremely professional, courteous, and nice. Magdy and Gaber were excellent tour guides. Having a majority of the meals paid for was a relief. Every airport in Egypt we were guided through(they are set up a little different from US and most European airports). We were given a mobile hotspot and phone on arrival, so purchasing a SIM card was not needed. The company also completely facilitated our Covid-19 tests that were required before our flight home. Overall, we had the trip of a lifetime and would not hesitate to book through Egypt for Americans in the future to see some of the new sites and the GEM!

My friend and I had one day to visit Luxor and chose Marsa Alam Tours. The good price, reviews, and private tour first attracted us, and the service really exceeded expectations. We booked the tour the day before, and they were fantastic with reaching out quickly to coordinate all the details. Both our driver, Amr, and our guide, Mohammed, were very knowledgeable and friendly and worked with us to tailor the experience to what we most wanted to see (Karnak Temple, Luxor Temple, Valley of the Kings, and the Alabaster shop were my faves). Mohammed even helped us avoid pushy souvenir shop workers and with haggling when we did find stuff we wanted to avoid the tourist up-charge (although all souvenir shops along the way are extremely overpriced). I would highly recommend them for those looking for a more personalized tour!

This was a top class tour, thoroughly enjoyable and well-organised (after the first day's confusion). Particularly great and highlights of our trip were our 2 guides: Sam (a.k.a. Ahmed) in Cairo and Roshdy along the Nile from arrival at Luxor to departure at Aswan. Both made the trip so enjoyable and we highly recommend them. Nothing was too much trouble for Sam and Roshdy and they did everything to make our trip perfect. Arrival at Cairo airport was a minor problem - apparently the meeter & greeter was inside the terminal before immigration and baggage hall and this was not expected. We waited in the arrivals hall and eventually took a taxi - fortunately, we had asked where we were staying beforehand. The tour company had not provided a detailed itinerary at that stage. A last minute change to the itinerary was notified to us concerning the flight from Cairo to Luxor meaning less time in Cairo on arrival. However, luckily it turned out for the best as we had an extra day in Aswan and we caught up with what we had missed in Cairo on our return. Communication before arrival could be improved. However, these were the only minor issues and everything from that point went beautifully once we had met our guides. They were clearly supported well by Reflections. Accommodation at Mercure Le Sphinx was adequate. Small rooms, rather crowded although early breakfast was provided for early starters like us. The food was OK but nothing special - the staff found it hard to keep up with replenishing food, crockery and cutlery. The day went really well. First visit to Pyramids at Giza (almost next door), the Sphinx and Coptic Cairo. Excellent lunch of Koshari at authentic Abu Tarek restaurant in the city centre. We were tired by this time and opted out of any other planned visits (including the Egyptian Museum, which we did at our leisure after the Nile trip). We idled at the airport and flew to Luxor, arriving mid-evening. We stayed onboard our excellent cruise ship, Semiramis III, and as we had missed dinner, food was left in our well-appointed cabin, more spacious than we had expected. The huge picture window was a highlight. The ship, the staff (especially concierge Zerdan) and the food were all excellent. and we felt very comfortable. Meal times were arranged around trips. Food is included in the fare but not alcohol; local lager beer is good but the wine? No recommendations as we failed to find anything worth drinking. First day saw us at Karnak (a highlight for me) and Luxor temples in the early morning and Valley of the Kings late morning (another highlight). Hatshepsut's temple was an unexpected treat and is now looked back on with pleasure. We called at the imposing Colossi of Memnon before returning to the ship for a late lunch. We set off upstream mid afternoon allowing a relaxing time on the wonderful open top deck, enjoying the Nile scenery and birding. Next day we visited Edfu temple and in the dark of the evening, Kom-Ombo temple. In the meantime, we enjoyed the gentle cruise upstream. I had awoken during the night at the locks and spent an hour watching our progress through them. Very interesting. We awoke at berth in Aswan, opposite the huge dune of Qubbet. Because of the changed itinerary, we had time to visit Abu Simbel temple - a 3 hour desert journey each way but well worth it - this was an 'extra'. The temple had been moved to its present place on the banks of Nasser Lake at the time of construction of the dam at Aswan by the Soviets. On our return, after siesta and food, we visited a Nubian Village. That was interesting enough, but knowing my interest in birds, we took the backwaters of the Nile to reach the village. Superb! Final day saw local Aswan trips to the Unfinished Obelisk, the High Dam and Philae Temple. I bought 2 tee shirts: bargaining started at $150 each and finished at $10 for both :) Our flight back to Cairo from Aswan was delayed twice, so we arrived back mid-evening and again stayed at Mercure Le Sphinx hotel, but in a better room. Final tour day (but not our final day as we stayed on) saw us visit the Egyptian Museum and we were so glad we had not rushed around it on the first day. We were able to take our time. We lunched again at Abu Tarek for Koshari, now a favourite in our home. After lunch, I went alone with Sam to the Step Pyramid at Saqqara (an 'extra'). Another 'extra' was the Pyramids and Sphinx Sound and Light Show. It was memorable and well worth seeing. In summary, the trip was historically memorable, relaxing during the cruise, excellent value, well-organised and the guides (Sam & Roshdy) made everything perfect. We can highly recommend this trip
