ETC's tourism services are the best I have ever experienced. They are friendly, understanding yet very professional. We were looked after right from the immigration to touring the sites.
Ahmed Elsayed was our guide. Again very professional and fluent in English, at the same time very understanding and patient as we were a family group of 8 (of various age). He guided and showed us around Ancient Egypt sites and even did an in-depth tour of the Museum, where his knowledge of Ancient Egypt shined through. During lunch breaks he took us to really good restaurants where locals eat, such good food!
A thorough Gentleman!
The vehicle provided by them was also very comfortable.
ETC is best in Egypt!response / report this review -

This was my first trip to Cairo and I wanted to see and experience as much as possible of what this place can offer. If you want the best experience ever, this is the perfect choice. All was perfect - timings, logistics, the energy, information, locations. I felt the passion and the love for this job. Thank you :)

If or when, my family and/or I return to Egypt, I will go through this company again and ask for the same guides again. We had an amazing trip, filled with memories that will last my Dad, Brother, and I a lifetime.
Everyone in our group would recommend this company and in particular our guides to everyone and anyone. In fact, I’ve have already recommended the tour and guides to a few friends and coworkers. This is pretty much the highest compliment that I can give being that I have to work and see these people for the rest of my life.
With that said, I’ll get into more details:
Our group consisted of 3, my brother, father and myself. We varied in age from 83 (Dad) to mid-40’s (my brother and myself). We also varied in fitness levels, my Dad is very spry but, he’s 83 and my Brother and I are quite active.
Our interest levels also varied. My Dad and I are big European history nerds but, my brother is really interested in ancient Egypt. This was his first time out of the US and the only place he was really interested in going was Egypt.
Booking: I booked our tour through the website Tour Radar and we chose the Ancient Egypt Tour Package Discovery through Egypt Tour Club. The entire trip was very last minute. I was able to pull the entire 10-day trip together within 2 weeks of departure.
The company made my life easier. They were incredibly accommodating with departure and arrival dates. You want to leave on Sunday and return Wednesday, sure, they’ll make it work! This really worked well as we all have varied schedules.
Sam was our first guide and he met us at the airport early as we were 3hrs early. Sam helped us all into the waiting van, at which point we began our drive to the hotel. Our hotel was located in Giza, aprox. 1 ½ - 2 hrs away. While it seamed like a long drive from the airport, once we were at the hotel and saw that we were across the street from the Pyramids, we couldn’t have been happier.
The hotel, Mercure Cairo Le Sphinx, was nice, clean, and we felt safe. We were able to get in, grab a shower, some dinner and watch the sun go down behind the pyramids with a beer in our hand, life was perfect and everyone was happy.
We did have a set schedule when we arrived in Cairo. Our itinerary included Pyramids, old Cairo, Alexandria, night train to Aswan, Aswan to Luxor via river cruise, then back to Cairo and out.
After speaking with our guide Sam, he suggested the same itinerary but a different schedule. Sam devised a new schedule that he thought would be more convenient for us, with less early mornings. We told Sam, as long as we saw the places in our itinerary, we didn’t care in what order and that we would go with his recommendation.
We’re glad we did, because looking back we would have had a few more late-nights followed by early-mornings. Sam clearly knew what he was doing!
On a side note, being flexible on this trip was really helpful. We had a set itinerary, Sam suggested we change the order, we’re glad we did. Be it traffic, Cairo is crazy, demonstrations, to times the tour left/returned, things change on a sometimes-daily basis. I was a bit cautious about changing our schedule at first, maybe because you think you’re going to be ripped-off or something like that but, that WAS NOT the case, Sam knew what he was talking about.response / report this review -

I cannot say enough good things about this company! Ali was very communicative throughout the whole process, from booking till the very end! Our guide Youssa in Cairo and Ahmed in Luxor were both very knowledgeable and taught us both so so much about the Egyptian-history! Shout-out to the drivers too, for handling the traffic like pros! If you are looking for a great tour company for a good price, look no further!
