Excursion to Abu Simbol started extremely early and was too long a bus ride for the value of the experience. If only 1 hour away would be worth it. Very disappointed with cost and what we saw.

The first class train to Luxor is not just below Western standards--it was freezing cold, uncomfortable, and felt dirty.
The extension to the Red Sea resort was worth the extra days and expense.
There are no handicapped ramps and usually no elevators. This trip is not appropriate for people with mobility issues.
The visit to the Nubian village is an extra cost but was one of the highlights of our trip--do it! Also, the hot air balloon!

1) Include a “Welcome” session at the start of the tour to review the itinerary, to present any suggested or optional (fee or free) activities in each city after the official itinerary for each day ends, to provide useful info (for example, tipping and bartering in Egypt)an), and to allow tour participants to get to know each other.
2) provide a short pre- or post-dinner wrap up each day to review/answer questions about the current day, to highlight the agenda for the following day, provide handy location-specific details (i.e. where the closest ATM is located, interesting places to walk/visit near the hotel/boat, etc), etc.

We had an amazing trip, a little fast paced, but overall our tour guide was very accommodating with our tour group. The only problem we had was in Cairo on the last day was no one picked a up a Radisson hotel to take us to Cairo airport. They told us to be tea ready in lobby at 5:15 am to transport us to airport but no one picked us. We ended talking a taxi about 6:00 am didn’t want to miss flight.

Excellent trip. Very well organized. Our tour guide was Elia and he was very knowledgeable as he studied Egyptology. He also provided good information how to be aware of the local vendors and others trying to help and then expect tips etc.
The Nile river cruise was very enjoyable and the accommodations and food were very good.
I enjoyed the last two days at Prima Life resort which had excellent amenities, large pool, children areas to play, fun activities on the beach.
Went scuba diving 2 days and the dive operations in Hurghada were well run with safety first and proper checks. Excellent value for a trip!

The crew on board ship were all very friendly and courteous.
The hotel and resort were classy and clean and the activities at the resort and on board ship were very entertaining.
Thanks for the experience.

Our tour was seamless and it was a lifetime experience which we will never forget.

Our guide Mohammed was amazing very informative!! Only he didn’t let us have shopping times at the stops!! lol
The resort hotels were amazing everything was great there!!
The Radisson Blu in Cairo the service in the restaurant was not good at all!!!
The stops were all great it might have been a bit much everyday so we really appreciated the stay at the Red Sea!!
We also took a flight from Hurghada to Cairo and we didn’t understand why this flight was included in the package it only cost us 155.00 extra and it was so worth it not on a bus for 7 hours!! We really appreciated the flight!!
Otherwise it was such an amazing holiday and you had it so organized we really appreciated how well your company ran!!

I posted this on Trustpilot:
Tour was well priced and clearly described. (Mysterious Egypt and Red Sea). Responses to my inquiry from the Wingbuddy office were relatively quick especially since we booked it less than a week before departure.

The tour was well organized, ran on time with good transportation arrangements (comfortable buses that were always there waiting for us on time) and the local tour leader (Islam Abdelati from Travel Ways) was excellent. I really can't say enough positive things about him as a tour leader. He was highly organized, informative about history and archeology and local customs (dealing with vendors, bargaining etc), good humoured, friendly and took care of every detail to make sure our group of 27 travelers (mostly Canadian with some American) had the best experience at every stop while keeping us on schedule. The level of service and communication was excellent and I would highly recommend him as a guide to anyone visiting Egypt.

We were happy with what the tour included as an overview of the main historic sites. The hotels were all comfortable (Radisson Blu Heliopolis in Cairo, Iberotel in Luxor, Prima Life Makadi in Hurghada) as was the Nile cruise boat (Nile Carnival). We appreciated that almost every meal was included and the food selection was good and plentiful. (Only drinks were extra cost).

My only comment about the tour structure itself is that Abu Simbel should be part of the tour not an optional day trip from Aswan with added cost ($CDN230/ $USD150) since it's a highlight not to be be missed. Fortunately our entire group decided to go which made things easier.

We were glad we arranged and paid extra to arrive a day earlier instead of the day before the tour formally began in order to recover from the journey (Toronto to Frankfurt overnight, 3 hour layover, then Frankfurt to Cairo arriving at 4pm). We booked the same Cairo hotel (Radisson Blu) for a day extra via Wingbuddy. (Some people arrived only the night before the tour began and so they were quite tired since the tour involves several days with very early starts). This also allowed us to hire our own driver for the day and see some highlights of Cairo (The Citadel, Coptic churches of Old Cairo, the famous Khan El Khalili souk) since this was not included in the trip. (The only day in Cairo on the tour was to see the pyramids and the new Grand Egyptian Museum).

In terms of booking I'd like to have more options for flights and cost differences explained to make it easier to decide which flights we prefer to make the journey easier. (This also could have been a factor of booking quite late)

We really appreciated that Wingbuddy's rep met us inside the Cairo airport upon arrival before we passed customs to help us buy our visas ($25USD) and navigate the airport lineups and escort us to the hotel for checkin. That attention to detail makes things very pleasant when arriving after a long overnight journey in an unfamiliar country.

A particular shout out to guide Elye Aiad whose 20 yrs in the biz made him the ideal guide - organized, Egyptology and history background, language skills and people skills… we learned so much. Also to Kareem, who accompanied us on the long bus tide back to Cairo from Makadi Bay, and shared a wealth of information, answering in depth my endless questions.

Our Travel Ways guide in Hurghada was also exceptional and organized an overnight trip back to Cairo so we could spend a last full day there. He organized a tour of several mosques and the coptic part of Cairo with lunch included. Great excursion.

The people of Egypt helped to make this a superb trip, everyone friendly and welcoming. The snorkelling in the Red Sea was next to none. We saw such a variety of beautiful tropical fish which was a bonus to all the other wonderful adventures. We felt 100% safe the entire time.

Once we landed in Egypt, all the details that make a trip difficult (transfers, hotels, tours) were seamlessly handled. Our tour guide, Ahmed went above and beyond to ensure that all our needs were met to the smallest detail. I stupidly left my backpack on the bus and he ran to get it! We went to Egypt at a time conflict in the Middle East, at no time did we feel anything but safe. I would highly recommend the trip.

We didn’t know what to expect as we hadn’t heard of Wingbuddy until this trip showed up on Travel Zoo. I am so pleased to say that wingbuddy’s service exceeded our expectations. If it was possible to change one thi g it would be the number of stops between Calgary and Cairo. it made for a very long trip. not sure if there could have been a more direct flight, but that would be my only comment. Very Very pleased with our experience.

This was one of the best organized trip I've ever been on. As we landed in Egypt, as soon as we walked in the airport, we were greeted by Alfayid. He walked us over to get our bags, go through security, and then took us to the hotel. He was patient and answered all our questions. Then we had our meeting with Islam who was going to be our tour guide for most of our trip. He was so very knowledgeable, fun, and had a great sense of humor. If you needed anything, he was always there with the answer. He is very well organized and so nice to be around. We were very lucky to have him as our tour guide, he will be missed. Once we arrived in Luxor, we had to say our goodbye to Islam, very sad day....In the morning, we were then greeted and taken to the Prima Life Makadi. Once there, we were greeted by Mr. Mahmoud Hassan. He was very patient, held his cool, even though there were unruly and guest, monopolizing his time. He did an amazing job and deserves a medal for the way he handled the situation. Good for you Mr. Hassam. You did your job very well and treated everyone with respect. You even organized 14 of us to fly back to Cairo instead of taking the long bus ride back to Cairo. That was truly amazing and we thank you so much. We had only booked 1 additional excursion from the hotel, a city tour of Hurghada. In the morning we were greeted by Mr. Sherif Mahamad. He also did an exceptional job with getting us around, explaining the city, and making sure our every needs were met. When it was time to leave Prima Life, which we both said was a 5* resort, we were taken to the airport by John. He again made sure that we knew all our flights and had everything in order before he left us just before security. Once in Cairo, we were met by Mr. Fady Faoud. He made sure we knew what time we were heading to the airport the next day, because we were earlier than expected, he had arranged that our rooms would be ready upon our arrival to Cairo. He had a great sense of humor and was also fun to be with. I must say, that this holiday was jam packed, full of activities, and very well organized. One of the best holiday we've been on.

The only bad thing about this trip was the flights coming back home. We left Egypt, then onto Quatar, then to Montreal, then Toronto. All in all, we had started with our flight time at 2am in the morning and after 22 hrs of flight time and airport wait times, we made it home. This was the only downfall to one of the best holidays we've been on. FANTASTIC!!!!

I cannot say enough great things about our recent tour to Egypt with Wingbuddy. Starting with their representative Fady who met us at the airport and worked so hard to find our misplaced luggage and our fabulous tour guide Mohamed who is an Egyptologist from Luxor. I've never met anyone so passionate about their country and sharing his vast knowledge with us was so incredible. These two individuals took very great care of our tour group. I cannot honestly say I would definitely book with Wingbuddy again and recommend them to others. This tour was packed with adventure, amazing sites, great food and accommodations and Egypt was such a welcoming place to visit. We met fabulous people and made memories to last a lifetime. I give this tour ten stars!!
My only recommendation is maybe offering people a choice to fly back to Cairo from the resort on the Red Sea on the last day. The 6.5 hour bus ride was too way too long. Everything else was just perfect!!

An amazing experience wildly beyond our dreams. Although very fast paced starting with our arrival in Cairo, this trip highlighted all the must see sights of Egypt with an amazing guide, Mohamed who was friendly, extremely knowledgeable, fun, responsible, safety first focussed and well educated. He should be teaching at the university level. All flights, bus rides and luggage were all handled by Wingbuddy reps and we want to mention Fady, in particular who met us at the beginning in Cairo and who escorted us upon our departure (and provided extra service when we misinterpreted our departure time). He was friendly, calm, encouraging, informative and trustworthy. We loved the 4 nights on the Nile cruise visiting such places as Luxor, Edfu, Kon Ombo and Aswan - so relaxing. Great entertainment! Great staff, lovely views from the big window in our room, comfortable beds and great food. Some of the bus rides were tedious and some of our group decided to fly back to Cairo from the Red Sea resort (which was also a highlight) instead of the 6 hour bus ride through the desert, but then we would have missed seeing "New Cairo", which was totally different than old Cairo. We would highly recommend this tour to all with a caveat that anyone, when booking, should arrive in Cairo at least a day early in order to rest up, even if they have to pay for 1 night at the hotel. We didn't and we arrived late at night from Canada and had to start the tour early the next day. Our group, called "Horus" after the Raven God was comprised of 22 Canadians and Amercians who were all great travel companions! Thank you to all!

My wife and I just arrived back to Canada from Wingbuddy’s amazing 13 day tour of Egypt and the Red Sea. Our trip was outstanding in every respect, made more special because of the care and attention offered to our group by our highly skilled, expansively knowledgable, and deeply relational tour guide, Elia Ayad (alias - "Elijah")

Elia’s knowledge of Egypt’s history and culture is only surpassed by the heart and passion he has for his country. His love and knowledge of Egypt is truly contagious. Our group instantly found a hospitable “home” in Egypt because Elia made us “family”. He was constantly present and entirely committed to us at every juncture of our tour, attending tirelessly our individual and group needs. Not only did Elia call us “family”, he manifested this by treating us as his very own.

Elia patiently walked us through every significant site on our tour, provided great information about each place, and then afforded us space/ free-time to explore each wonder for ourselves. Elia was the perfect combination of a proficient Egyptologist and personable human being. He answered all of our questions with humble integrity and related to us with utmost dignity. There were numerous instances when we were each taken care of in every respect by Elia, even after he’d already spent a long day serving as our tour guide.

Again, even during moments of leisure or transit, Elia relentlessly went above and beyond to ensure that every facet of our experience in Egypt was optimal. And, so it was!

Even on our final night in Luxor together, when Elia could have departed the hotel early to be with his own family, he faithfully remained at the hotel lobby to serve the needs of our group. He helped with hotel check-ins, took extra care of group members with special needs, and was even observed picking up passports from the front desk to deliver them over to the dining room for tour members who may have had mobility issues!

In conclusion, the itinerary of our 13 day tour of “Mysterious Egypt and The Red Sea” was wonderfully thorough and constituted an amazing life-experience. Wingbuddy did a great job putting all the logistics of this tour package together. Yet, it’s a tour guide like Elia who brings Egypt - her history, her culture and her people - to life and who brings about the very best travel experience ever - like ours was!

Thanks to Wingbuddy, and especially to Elia, for offering us such an affordable and unforgettable personal encounter with Egypt - her history, her treasures, her people, and her culture!

Thanks Elia! (And, don't forget to one day visit us in Canada)

Grateful Canadians, Shaun & Carla (5 star rating for us!)

P.S. - I must mention the kind and cheerful attention we also received from Fayez Boles (alias "Faddy"), Wingbuddy's Rep, at the airport in Cairo. On the first night we arrived, Fayez instantly helped us navigate and transition from the airport to our hotel ... and he likewise accompanied us (at 4am!) to the airport to see us off at the end of our tour.

The first face you meet - and the last face to see you off - on any adventure is crucial to the tour experience itself. Fayez was the perfect fit for this role ...

For example, one person's suitcase mistakenly got left behind at the hotel upon our departure, but Fayez remained calm and was so helpful in getting it retrieved so that we could all go through our departure gate together....

Fayez' smiling face as we touched down in Egypt ... and his same beaming countenance, with an enthusiastic wave, at the moment of our departure added a very personal touch to our experience with Wingbuddy!

Thanks Fayez!

The only real complaint we have regarding the fantastic Egypt tour we took with Wingbuddy would be regarding the 8 hour bus trip from Hurghada back to Cairo. My suggestion would be that you can offer the flight from Hurghada to Cairo as an option at a slightly higher cost as an alternate to the bus ride. We certainly would have chosen the flight vs the bus ride. Other than that, our trip was packed with fabulous visits, history, excursions and delicious meals. The Nile cruise was spectacular, just perfect. Our guide Mahmoud was lovely - an Egyptologist extraordinaire! Thank you Wingbuddy for another perfect trip with a great group of people.

This was an incredible trip! The cost vs value was amazing. I would highly recommend this trip to any of my friends and family, with the knowledge that some of the room accommodations are 5 star (Cairo and Hurghada hotels- wow!!), some are 3+ star (the Luxor hotel was half renovated rooms. The cruise ship could use a new swimming pool), but the overall value of the trip is amazing. I was very impressed with the organization of the trip- from airport pick up with Fady, to busses/horse rides/transportation always being exactly on time- wow! All of the staff we encountered, especially the staff on the cruise ship, were wonderful. The optional excursions were great, except for the Karnak light and sound show- do not go to this. However, the other ones were wonderful. The hot air balloon was one of the most magical things I have done in my life. Most importantly, I can't say enough about our guide Ahmed Wahab. I have been on A LOT of guided tours and he is TRULY one of the best guides I have ever met. He is not only insanely knowledgeable about everything Egypt, but also able to communicate that information in an interesting and memorable way. He is kind and patient, and truly passionate about Egypt- this passion was passed on to the group through his guidance, and it truly made for a memorable experience. He was also wonderful with accommodating the different needs of the group, for example when someone needed a break from walking or wanted to switch hotel rooms. He always stuck with the group until everyone was heard and cared for. He made everyone feel safe during their time with him. He is a great leader and the type of tour guide you hope for whenever you travel. I would definitely do another tour with Ahmed, and with Wingbuddy. Thanks for the amazing memories.

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.

Do it! Guides on this trip were excellent and knowledgeable! But Drop the sleeper car train, charge a bit more and fly to Luxor!

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.

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.

Our guide Ahmed Wahab was exceptional. His knowledge was excellent and he was a very kind and caring individual. Wingbuddy should definitely use his service. I would rate my experience as 5 star mainly because of him.
Our contact/coordinator in Cairo Mina was very much the same.
They made the trip easy, safe and enjoyable

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 .
