Absolutely an incredible experience! We had a fantastic group of people that had a lot of fun together. Truly no stone was left unturned. Having the last 3 days in Hurghada was a great way to wind down after an intense tour. Great job Ahmed and thanks Wingbuddy.

Our guide was an Egyptologist with four years of training and 20 years of guide experience. Ahmed Waheed was the key to bringing to life all that we experienced. He carefully filtered massive amounts of information and experiences to guide us through this beautiful country of Egypt with grace and enthusiasm in equal measure. We are all very grateful for the experience.

Ahmed, our main guide throughout the trip was excellent. His knowledge and personality were the perfect blend to be working as a guide.

We really enjoyed our trip. From the moment we started the inquiry about the trip, through the booking process and finally the trip itself, we were treated with respect and understanding. This is our first major trip and we had lots of questions and all were answered. Representatives from Wingbuddy met us at our destinations and helped us through Customs and through airports ( and train stations) The tour guides were knowledgeable to the extreme. All hotels were clean and all meals were excellent. We will be using Wingbuddy again!

Just can't say enough about our tour guide Mohamed he made the trip.
Should be an option to fly to Hurghada from Luxor.

Super voyage! Nous étions un petit groupe de 4 personnes en français. La chimie avec les trois autres participants était au rendez-vous. On s'est bien amusé! Le train de nuit entre le Caire et Louxor est spécial. L'expérience en vaut la peine… c'est à faire une fois mais pas à refaire! Tout était bien durant la croisière. Les guides étaient intéressants sauf le contact à l'hôtel à Hurghada (je veux dire la personne qui propose des excursions - pas les préposés aux transferts entre hôtel et aéroport). Quant aux documents, les renseignements aux pourboires étaient incomplets. Le 35$ US n'expliquait pas à quoi ça servait. Ça laissait sous-entendre que ce montant couvrait tous les pourboires. Je sais que 35$ US est peu mais il y aurait avantage à être plus clair. En conclusion: UN SUPER VOYAGE, BIEN RODÉ, JE RECOMMANDE!

This has been a trip of a life time! From our first contact with the team (Genevieve, Anne, Tu Vihn, Marjorie and all) to the team on the ground (Mina, Fiaz, Mohamed) this could not have gone any better! Everything was so amazing and smooth. I have only two issues that I feel a bit upset about. The Alabaster store after the temple of Hatshepsut was the only place that I feel I was robbed. As there were signs with prices I didn't realize that there was the option of bartering until we were back on the bus, and the only word I can use is I felt robbed. I paid almost $500.00 for two small statues and a ring, a total rip off. Also on the ship I purchased a polo shirt which the man assured me that I needed a 5XL and charged me extra for...and now I have a shirt that is WAY too big that I am hoping to have tailored smaller so an additional cost there.
I am going to be posting on Trip Advisor that there is NO better company to book with and that you will never be treated better any where else. I will post about the two concerns I have as a 'watch out', but can not say enough of how amazing everything else was...lol I even loved the train!

This whole tour was incredible. The communication at home in the months prior to our departure was efficient, clear, and quick. Our questions were answered quickly and the service was great.
As for the actual tour- wow. Everyone we dealt with and who assisted us was superb - friendly, efficient, helpful and respectful. Mina, who greeted us at the airport, was excellent, helping us with our luggage, visa, and hotel checkin. As well, at the end of our trip, Mina again, as well as Fayez, were extremely helpful and efficient with getting us from the hotel to the airport.
The only suggestions I have are quite minor: the food on the Nile cruise was good but not as good as at the hotels, and there was an awful lot of bread at all meals. A bit more variety and in particular, more specific Egyptian foods would have been great. The only other suggestion I have was that guests could benefit from being told to put a change of clothes, toothpaste and toothbrush, etc, into a small bag or into their carry on for the sleeping train since the train compartments are quite small; we didn't think ahead to put these things in a small bag and instead had to open our large suitcases, which was difficult in the small space. That said, I LOVED the overnight train experience! It was something we would never experience at home, and I love adventurous experiences such as that. It was really fun to experience the train.
I went to Egypt for the archaeology and history, and of course all of that was exceptional, but there were many additional, wonderful surprises that made the trip even better than I could have anticipated, such as an opportunity to go horseback riding in the desert and along and in the Red Sea while at Hurghada, the hot air balloon ride, Egyptian night on the cruise, and stopping at a sugar cane stand to try sugar cane juice.
I choose this tour because of the opportunity to see all of the archaeological sites I have been dreaming of seeing for 40 years; I have always been passionate about archaeology, and especially the archaeology of Ancient Egypt, and so it was such an honour and a treat to have Mohamed El Tayeb as our guide. His passion and knowledge made this trip even more memorable and rewarding. He was very professional, knowledgeable, helpful, warm and welcoming, and also really funny. He wasn't just doing his job; he was going above and beyond, doing everything he could possibly do to make our trip safe, informative, varied, and fun. He made sure we didn't miss an opportunity to do something great! He gave us great advice on what NOT to do (if something was overpriced or a waste of time), and directed us to the highlights when our time was limited so that we could get the most out of every minute. He was absolutely incredible.
This was the trip of a lifetime. I would HIGHLY recommend this tour to anyone interested in Egypt, and I would hope that they would be lucky enough to have Mohamed as their guide. Thank you Mohamed, Mina, Fayez, all the staff on the cruise ship and at the hotels, and Wingbuddy for an absolutely incredible experience.

This was a trip of a lifetime, cross another destination off my bucket list.
1-Ahmed Wahab was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about is country. He made us feel welcomed and safe. Kudos
2- Mina was also great, Wingbuddy took extremely good care from the moment we arrived until the moment we left.
3- for people arriving early in Cairo like us at 8 AM at the hotel it would have been nice to have a tour of Cairo .
4- prima life Makadi Was wonderful after the Go go go of the trip. However did not appreciate being hassled every 10 minutes by people offering massages ,extremely annoying when you’re trying to relax . The buffet was always excellent but the à la cards were extremely disappointing .
5- I was told by Wingbuddy to bring American money but they do appreciate the Egyptian pound a lot more .
6- as for the train ride I was told by Wingbuddy that it was not bunkbeds but they were . Great experience!
7- water was readily available everywhere really appreciated having some on the bus for a reasonable price .
8-Staff on the Nile cruise were extremely extremely pleasant shout out to Ramadan and Mustafa and The wonderful omelet maker unfortunately I forget his name .
9- I should also mention that all staff everywhere were fantastic .
10- I would have preferred to stay one more night in Hughada, fly out from Hurghada to Cairo then Cairo home rather than stay at a hotel in Cairo .
11- would have been nice to have a little more authentic Egyptian food though I do understand trying to cater to the tourist .
12- this is our second trip with Wingbuddy and won’t be the last . You should offer a discount to returning customers LOL .

I thought there was great value for the cost. WingBuddy did not scrimp in any area of the trip, and in many instances exceeded my expectation by a fair margin. Agents were where they were promised to be when they were supposed to be. The effect was almost surreal. Thanks for a wonderful tourist experience.

This was an amazing trip that exceeded our expectations. We cannot say enough about the greeters/handlers/drivers with Travel Ways Egypt. Our guides (Nadia in Cairo and Mohamed Tayeb for the Nile cruise) were absolutely the best. I will be recommending this package and Wingbuddy to everyone that I know.
Although I was okay with the overnight train journey from Cairo to Luxor, most of our travel companions seemed to find this an unwelcome experience. Most would have preferred a flight instead.
The food at the Meridien Heliopolis hotel in Cairo was good. The food on the Nile Carnival cruise ship was the best of the trip (really quite good). The food at the Mercure Hotel in Luxor and the Prima Life resort in Hurghada was not good at all, though the hotels/rooms were fine.
There was some confusion about tipping on the trip. We were told that the $35 collected at source was only for the 4-day Nile cruise (for all staff on the cruise ship). Tipping for other parts of the trip (handlers/ guides) came in as extra.
I really appreciated Quentin/Wingbuddy's advice to take about $300 USD each for the trip (I had asked how much we should take). This proved enough for all our cash needs and we did not feel cash strapped on the trip. Some other travelers needed to find ATMs to get cash. We did not. Good travel advice!
We participated in most of the side trips offered (Pyramid Light Show, Abu Simbel, Hot air balloon ride, Nubian village boat trip) and were very pleased with all of these....even those that required a 4 am wake up call! I would recommend all of them.
The back-to-back road journeys from Aswan to Luxor (5 hours) and Luxor to Hurghada (5 hours) were long and tiring. Perhaps a direct flight from Aswan to Hurghada is possible?
Thanks Wingbuddy!

Overall, I’m very satisfied with what you given me in this trip. I even feel I got more than what I had paid for. Thanks for the experiences you had given me. Our tour guide, Mr. Ahmed Wahab, is truly the Best guide for the group. He is very professional in all of his demeanours, he is an excellent Egyptologist, very proficient in English, very simple and humble, always attentive to the needs of everybody in the group. He is very approachable. He is very detailed in all of his presentations. We could never say any negative comment for him. You should hire his services always. As for the local travel agency you had contracted with in Egypt, they provided us with very good transportation services. The manager, “ Mr. Mena”, tried his best to make our tour in Egypt flawless. He is truly a very hard working guy and though there were problems encounterd by the group especially at the end of our tour, I still greatly appreciated his efforts to solve the problems.

Egypt was a great value package. The hotels and cruise all provided meals that appealed to large groups. For authenticity, we headed out for some inexpensive but excellent meals at local restaurants. Our tour guide, Ahmed Wahab was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable about the history and the sites and was able to explain it to us in great detail. He really took good care of our group. I would highly recommend anyone travelling to Egypt request his services. The tour itself was coordinated very well. The buses were always ready when we were.

The trip was wonderful... Our guide Mohamed was outstanding... He was very knowledgeable and told the history in a very interesting and engaging way...There is one thing I would recommend changing... the train trip from Cairo to Luxor... Maybe charge a bit extra and fly your clients instead of using the train...
Other than that... a wonderful vacation... thank you Wingbuddy.

The overall trip was great and the guide Mohammed, was excellent. He really knew his stuff and very knowledgable. The overnight train ride was not up to expectations but it was an adventure! The bus trip from Aswan to Hurgata could have left earlier so we could have enjoyed the resort more. At the resort, your rep there was not at all informative and was quite rude. Lucky we didn't have to deal with him much. Also check in and receiving our luggage took a total of 2 hours and 15 minutes which was extremely long . But other than those few hiccups, the trip was fantastic and I will definitely use your company again. Thank you for a great vacation!

Our guide , Elia Ayad was the best guide I have ever had on a trip. His knowledge of Egypt and its history was amazing. He went out of his way to make our trip enjoyable, and always gave us good advice on where to purchase things, and what to avoid. As a single traveller, he gave me great advice on staying safe as well. I enjoyed this trip immensely and felt that the tour gave me everything I was looking for .
