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.

LYNDA

Our Wingbuddy guide through out was an Egyptologist, PHD Mohamed and he was fantastic.

DAXA

We were happy with Wingbuddy and will also recommend them to others.

RICHARD

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!

CHERRIE

My experience on this tour was fantastic.
The guide was knowledgeable and prepared us for incidences we did eventually experience on our daily adventures. He was also very friendly but also very professional in his dealings with our team.
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.

YAN

We had a wonderful experience on this tour! Our tour guide Mohamed was outstanding—extremely knowledgeable about Egyptian history and the fascinating stories behind each temple. He also communicated everything clearly and with enthusiasm, which made the journey even more engaging.

The food on the Nile cruise was delicious and beautifully presented, and the meals at the Red Sea resort were equally impressive. Overall, this was a memorable trip filled with rich culture, great hospitality, and excellent service. Highly recommended!

ADELE

We have been on alot of tours with different companies and not one tour guide compares to Elia Ayad Boctor. His exceptional indepth knowledge of Egyptian History and his passion was so evident, informative and captivating. He took care of us like a mother takes care of her children. We felt safe. Our tour was seamless and it was a lifetime experience which we will never forget. Elia is a valuable asset to the travel industry and we wish him every success.This was our second tour with Wingbuddy and looking forward to planning our next trip with them. Thank you for a memorable experience.

Absolutely amazing! Mohamed was so passionate and informative! Our group was so much fun! This was a trip of a lifetime and I was very impressed! Will use Wingbuddy again!!

RONALD

Our tour guide Muhammad was exceptional. He kept everything organized and interesting. Such a wealth of knowledge, and enthusiasm. Very fast paced tour with time to relax at the resort in Hurghada. If considering Egypt this tour is a must!

CONNIE PATRICIA

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!!
Thank you so much!!

PATRICK

Mohamed (English group) was so informative and professional ;) our group was so amazing too. I recommend wingbuddy 1000%

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.

FRANK

Islam the tour guide was super- knew his history- lead the group to the best sights and was honest on all our questions ! You should hire him full time - excellent !

CYNTHIA

Our guide, Mohamed, was amazing. A galaxy of stars for him

CAROLE

Can't say enough good things about our Egyptologist, Mohamed E and our airport aide, Mina--but especially Mohamed E!

CRYSTAL

The Guide was great. Ahmad explain everything, everywhere we went. We miss him on our way to the red sea. I was very happy and the comments from the other people is that they felt the same
Thank you for a wonderful trip.

CHRISTOPHER

Our guides Manon and Abdul were exceptional!
They helped make the trip a memory for a lifetime.

STANLEY

My wife & I were so please & started recommending” Wingbuddy” to friends & family
But what made our vacation the most memorable was our “5 Stars”tour guide “Mahmoud Sayed” we all were so sad when he had to say goodby to us ( some of the guests were in tears when he left
Great Vacation !! Thanks Wingbuddy

CHANTAL

This was our first experience with an organized tour and we were impressed with the service provided by Wingbuddy! Our Guide Elia Ayad was the best we could have hoped for!

We had an amazing trip thanks to you!

BARBARA

We were well taken care of, from start to finish, and very much appreciated the efforts of the guides, drivers, and staff on the Nile cruise in making us feel comfortable. 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.

MARK

This trip was OUTSTANDING!!! Our guide was Exceptional and extremely informative. This was a trip of a lifetime and the itinerary was remarkable. Well done.
But a special thank you to our guide Ilya, he made this trip extra special.

LINDA

Overall, the itinerary & services provided were exceptional. Our Egyptologist, Islam A. was absolutely excellent not only in the information he provided as we toured, but also in leading & supporting of all participants in our group. Be aware this program offers a lot but also demands stamina to fully enjoy the experience!! Our time at the Red Sea resort just prior to heading home to Canada does allow you to "recharge your batteries"!

Islam, our wonderful guide in Cairo and for the entire trip (minus the all inclusive) was excellent. He made our tour wonderful; organized, well informed and gracious. we so enjoyed the trip and he was integral. Also, Fady in Cairo, getting us to and from the airports - another excellent guide. In all, a truly good experience - thankyou.

JAY

Great tours, our tour guide Mohammed El Tayeb was exceptional, he not only was knowledgeable but he made us feel safe, when we were at stores with him he helped us if we needed help negotiating with the sellers and did everything he could to give us a great experience. Many thanks.
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.

JANEY

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.

ELIZABETH

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.

LAURIE

Overall my Wingbuddy tour of Egypt was great. My guide, accommodations, food and the organization of traveling from place were very good.
I realize that the focus was on ancient Egypt but I would have liked to have had additional time and tours to experience more of life in current Egypt.

MARGARET

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.

TREVOR

All the tours that Ive been on with Wingbuddy were great. Well organized and educational.

MARTHA

Everything went very smoothly and the guides were great especially Islam. We felt safe at all times. Meals were great. Service was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip thanks to wing buddy!

FIEL

Outstanding tour director Islam Abdelati Tawfeik was all hands-on from my first day up to Aswan and back to Luxor. Very informed, very educated on Egyptology, most approachable and good leader, good group manager.

JASVIR

Amazing trip without any issues. Thank you Wingbuddy team for making it possible.

ERWIN

I would like to mention a wonderful guia we had.
His name is Elias.
Such a good person He is .
Very polite, nolechable about every aspect of the trip and the history about Egypt .

JACQUES

merci

Ilia Ayad was a phenomenal tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable and a good person. The other tour reps were also very helpful especially the one who greeted us at the airport upon arrival. (Fede)?

MARIA TERESA

Special thanks to our excellent tour leader Mr. Islam Tawfeik,Mr. Fady Faoud our amazing meet and greet guide;Mahmoud Hassan and Mr. Sherif Mohamad.

RITA

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!!!!

The trip was fantastic. It was a dream come true. Our tour guide was fantastic and so knowledgeable. He made our trip complete and was so much fun to be around. Cannot say enough about the remarkable service and friendliness from all wINGBUDDY REPRESENTtives. A trip we would recommend to everyone. W now know so much more about Egypt

SASHA

I had an amazing trip! My guide Said went above and beyond to make me feel safe and give us wonderful experiences! His knowledge of the historical sites and attention to making us happy exceeded my expectations! Daddy was wonderful with coordinating our airport pick ups and departures as well. They made me feel safe and the program was well organized! I would definitely travel with Wingbuddy services again!

ROSA

Shout out to Mohammed our tour director! Great Egyptologist & amazing guide! Loved listening to his archaeological talks. Sure made our Egypt adventures & experiences unforgettable! Thank you so much, Horus my friend!

WILLIAM

Our guide Mohamed was amazing and very versatile. He was well spoken and answered any and all questions. He kept our interest and made our tour even more exciting with his knowledge of Egyptian lore. 5 stars for him.

Tour Guide Islam and Fady who met us at the airport were excellent. It was a real pleasure to deal with them. All in all we are very pleased with Wingbuddy tour and we will recommend to our family & friends.

MARIA

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!!

SALLY

Our guide, Mohammed, was amazing. He went above and beyond to look after us and rectify any problem that came up.
The trip was incredible and I would recommend it to anyone thinking of going to Egypt

DONNA

It is with pleasure that I rank our trip to Egypt an overall an excellent experience. I rank our guide Mohammed exceptionally amazing! He is kind,caring and extremely knowledgeable. He went beyond to make everyone feel safe and pleased with all of our adventures in Egypt.
Thank you Wingbuddy for an exciting and pleasurable experience! Donna Caranci

WENDY

Mohamed was an exceptional guide. His educational background brought a passion to his tours. I felt 100 percent comfortable in his care...knew he would always be there for us. We started joking he was a magician. He would pop up just when we needed him. A wonderful man and feel privileged to have had him on this journey.

Our guide Mohamed was awesome !!

SANDRA

Everything was amazing very well organized from arrival in Cairo to are departed
Are guide Ahmed was very knowledgeable and willing to go to the extra mile for the group
Looking forward to another trip with your company in the near future

Our tour guide Eliha was exceptional, very knowledgeble and made us feel at ease
thank you for such a great tour
Highly recommended

DEBORAH

Our tour guide was amazing. He made the whole trip.

WAYNE

Overall, great experience!!! Guide Ahmed was Spectacular!! Saw soooo much in a relatively short time. Tiring, but worth it. Would definitely travel with Wing Buddy again!

4.4

Our guide, Ahmed Wahad, was exceptional. He was so knowledgeable, organized and thought of everything. The other representatives were also reliable and helpful, from airport arrival and assistance to checkout.

Although the hotel in Cairo (Radisson Blu) left something to be desired, the resort - Prima Life in Makadi - was 10/10. Absolutely glorious.

This was all in all a fabulous trip.

HEATHER

Out guides were fantastic. Ahmed and Fayd were extremely helpful

GREGORY

Help at airport and in hotels was greatly appreciated. Mahmood our guide was very good (likes to say "Watch your step a lot"). Nadia was a good guide too although question her belief in solar generators at the pyramids and lasers to cut granite over 2000 years ago. Great trip, hot air balloons and submarine were some of the stand out highlights. Would book with you again.

SHARON

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!

Fantastic tour. Mohamed was the best tour guide ever. Best trip I've ever taken.

FRANCINE

The guide was wonderful

This was the first time I travelled with wingbuddy and it exceeded my expectations! Thanks for a great trip!

SHAUN

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!

MICHELLE

It was a trip of a lifetime! Extremely well organized!! Our first tour group vacation and it was amazing. Our guide Elia Ayad is/was concise, knowledgable, caring, thoughtful... the perfect guide!!

STEPHEN

excellent help navigating airlines and customs.

JUDITH

Mohammed was an excellent guide. Very knowledgable and caring.

CATHY

Such an amazing opportunity from start to finish exceeding all expectations. Our tour guide was phenomenal …professional, friendly, organized, knowledgable and fun. The days were very busy but very well planned out. The flights were great there was always lots of food at the buffets and the accommodations were superior especially the all inclusive at the Red Sea. This is our fourth time using Wingbuddy and it won’t be our last. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone wanting to travel. I rate this trip a 20 out of a 10!

HELEN

We had a great trip to Egypt with WingBuddy. Our Guide, Mohammed was Excellent! He handled us with patient authority. We were looked after from start to finish. Fadi met us at the airport, and saw us safely back at the end. The trip to the Red Sea was a perfect end to the busy holiday. The meals were all buffet style, plentiful, fresh food. I will recommend this trip to all my friends.

MELINDA

Travelled in 2022

The tour guides in Cairo and in particular Elia Ayad Boctor had gone above and exceeded my expectations. Elia was able to share his love of his culture and have me asking for more (so very knowledgeable!). All the guides took great care of the logistics so I dont have too. Well done Team Wingbuddy!

DENYSE

Islam our guide until we reached Hurghada was amazing

LEE

Our tour guide Islam was terrific! He was so knowledgeable in all things Egyptian. He was fun and our group ‘Habibi’ was the best!

ANN

Your Tour guide Ahmed was Awesome! Your best Tour Guide! He was knowledgeable, passionate, patient, personable, attentive and approachable, friendly. You need to make this guy tour manager!
Once his tour assignments were over, the experience with guides at the end was not the same. Overall it was a wonderful trip!

GILLES

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.

TIMOTHY

WingBuddy provided an excellent package that was second to none! Our tour guide Adel Alfons was exceptionally educated and an awesome person all around! Not only was he an Egyptologist but also an ornithologist as well. I would highly recommend WingBuddy for your travel packages and destinations!

Mohamed our guide was excellent. His knowledge of Egypt is top notch, and his passion for teaching us about Egyptian history was outstanding. He tells me he feels he has a duty to teach us and to protect us. He was AWESOME. Overall an excellent first tour with Wingbuddy. I would do it again, but to a different destination.

JOY

I had a wonderful time in Egypt with my friend.
Our travel director is excellent in giving us information. Everyone from a airport pick up and guiding us travelling by bus to Cairo and in Hurdgada tried their very best to make our vacation smooth and easy. Overall had 5 star time in Egypt.

ZEENAH

The tour guide Mohamed El Taib was amazing.
There should have been a tour of present Egypt included in the package.

STACEY

I really enjoyed this trip immensely. There so much wonderful history . Our tour guide Ahmed was amazing and so knowledgeable!!!! We saw so many different parts of Egypt and the Nile river. I would highly recommend it.

JOHN

Elia Ayad, our tour guide, was absolutely fantastic. Extremely knowledgeable, incredibly patient, and genuinely concerned with giving everyone a great experience. Compared with other guides we encountered on the trip, he was head and shoulders above.

YANINA

Thank you wingbuddy for an amazing trip to egypt.for the no hassle.and for making my dream to come true.
Thank you to Olivia for my travel reservations and to Mohammed my tourist guide.they deserve a good raise.

SHANG YI

The local tour in Egypt was great. We had a wonderful and knowledgeable guide,Mahmoud Sayed, who is very energetic and thoughtful. He is my best Egypt history and culture teacher so far.

Guide Elia was fantastic!

SAMUEL

MARYLOU

Our trip to Egypt and the Red Sea was amazing. We have to give credit to our amazing guide, Islam T, he is so knowledgeable about everything Egypt. He was also kind and caring with his group, when a few people got ill he got the bus to stop at a pharmacy and took them in to get the proper medication. He was always there asking if we were alright, if we needed anything. I think our trip went so well because Islam was there to help when ever we needed it.

MICHAEL

Loved the tour! We’d have preferred more Egyptian food options but that’s minor

DIXIE

Our guide was exceptional. We felt totally taken care of for the whole time that we were there.

Please advise people going to Egypt to take USD 1 dollar bills or some Egyptian 5 & 10 pound currency with them for tips and washroom fees. I was constantly trying to get smaller currency in Egypt as was everyone else in our group. While most merchants accept USD they rip you off on the exchange rate.
Our tour guide Mohammed was absolutely fantastic, knowledgeable and concerned for everyone’s safety.

Ahmed W. was a fabulous tour guide; knowledgeable beyond words, kind, and gracious. He facilitated a group of traveling strangers who all became friends, and who now share an awe of Egypt’s rich history and people.

ADRIANA

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.

Our recent trip to Egypt was amazing, memorable & a great experience. Our tour guide (Ahmed) was excellent & made every tour a success. He is very knowledgeable & passionate about his beautiful country. Also he was very caring about our needs & made it fun. I definitely recommend him.
The only disappointment was the food served in all the facilities. My wife and I were expecting more typical Egyptian food and variety.
The service at all the accommodations was really good. Our group of 20 was amazing, we had lots of goods times together!
I would definitely recommend Wingbuddy as they quickly & efficiently addressed all our questions & concerns.
All in all it was a fantastic trip & an experience we will never forget!
Thank you Wingbuddy!

You've reversed our emails so this is Patricia.
We had a splendid trip - the first part certainly is busy and you don't get over your jet lag first! What wonders we saw.
Firstly, I want to commend our guide Mohammed El Tayeb, as being indispensible to your organization for his extensive knowledge, passion for his country and heritage and all around great organizational skills and human understanding.
Fady was excellent in meeting us at the airport, explaining what happens next, and for his kindness and concern for all the travellers. He is a gem too.
THe hot air balloon trip was a highlight indeed. I wonder if the visit to the Nubian village could be part of the included activities? It would be good to spend more time with their culture.
Thank you for offering such an enjoyable and well-rounded tour.

The trip was very well organized and executed. Our tour guide, Mohamed El Tayeb, was excellent, extremely knowledgeable and personable. Trip activities went off without a hitch and were well balanced between guided and free time. The only hitch in the trip was returning home when British Airways suddenly cancelled the flight from Cairo to London. Fortunately WingBuddy agent, Jean-Marc was able to quickly arrange alternative flights. The arrival/departure guide, Fady was very supportive during this disruption but kept in contact and provide much appreciated reassurance that things would get straightened out. A very enjoyable trip despite it's unfortunate ending.

Mohamed was an excellent tour guide. So knowledgeable and his enthusiasm and story telling was amazing. He went out of his way to try to keep everyone happy, had tremendous patience and good humour with our sometimes unruly group. It was a trip of a lifetime I will never forget

ARDESHIR

We had the time of our lives !! Wingbuddy totally spoiled us and took care of our needs and made our trip stress free and memorable . Everyone of your representatives were very professional and did everything they possibly could to make sure that we have a great time . We were initially anxious about coming to Egypt but once we got there we felt at ease and very safe ! Thanks Wingbuddy! Until our next trip !

Fantastic trip! Our guide Ahmed was very knowledgeable, patient, kind and interesting. This was a trip of a lifetime.

DENISE

Our guide was excellent. His knowledge, friendliness, personality, care (personally caring for anyone who fell ill),passion for Egypt, all made him an excellent tour guide. Wish he could have stayed with us in hotel or ship rather than have to leave us in the evening to head home.

The trip was from the first contact to leaving our destination was flawless!
Our guide, Ahmed Wahab, was incredibly knowledge, put detailed information into easy bite size pieces and his love and passion for his country was always in the forefront. He made this trip incredibly special.
He took care of all our our needs, recommended memorable excursions, was very professional and approachable! Egypt is now one our top destination and we highly recommend it to everyone! The Nile cruise was very memorable and planned activities aboard the Crown Jubilee were both entertaining and fun! Highly recommend added the Resort on the Red Sea at the end of your trip. The accommodations, pools and the Sea itself were both relaxing and very enjoyable. The PCR test was well organized, cheap and you didn’t have to leave the hotel grounds. Fade met us at the airport and dropped us off and made both arrival and departure very smooth. He took care of everything and made sure you were aware of the steps coming in and going out. We found everyone involved in making this trip were absolutely outstanding. Loved our experience in Egypt! We are booked for future trips!
Karen & Richard

DIANE

Ahmed was our tour guide & he was outstanding. Everywhere we went people said we had the best tour guide in Egypt and they were right. His knowledge is remarkable and he taught us so many things. I’d also like to say how professional and organized Fady was. He was the person that met us at the airport, took us to the hotel and back to the airport at the end of our trip. That poor guy never sleeps! This was a trip of a lifetime for me and these two people helped to make it a very memorable adventure.

An outstanding experience, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and went out of his way to see to all our needs, one of the best we’ve had. I would recommend this tour or any other with Wingbuddy to anyone. Thank you.

A lot of thanks to our tour guide Ahmed who gave us a lot of inside into Egyptian culture, customs and was very helpful all the time , 5 stars service !

Our guide, Ahmed Wahab was exceptional. He made our tour fun, educational and interesting. He answered all questions thoroughly and made learning a pleasure. I would highly recommend him to all. I will be planning another tour with my two sons and hope we can book Ahmed again.
I would be remiss if I didn’t include Fadi in this review. He was so comforting and supportive throughout the Airlines and transports. A real gentleman!

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.

SUZANNE

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.

KATHERINE

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.

EDWARD

great value
well co-ordinated with local guides

STUART

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

82 months ago

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!

Excellent guide - Mohammed
Travel tips - bring a lot of small denomination bills for tips, washrooms, bartoring....etc.
Trip was a great adventure.

LORNA

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.

Richard

Great trip, guide was excellent and we had great time. Thank you.

Paul

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.

Eric

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!

NICOLA

Best tour we have ever been on! Even though we were a little confused about some of the information we received, a couple of phone calls to your wonderful staff clarified everything.

BRIAN

We found that the itinerary left us with questions about some details of the trip, however, the helpful staff at Wingbuddy were able to answer our questions on the phone.

Juanito

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.

Donna

Our guide Ahmed was excellent and gave personal attention to the whole group.

GEOFFREY

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

Rhonda

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 trip was excellent.
All the drivers and guides were great but Ahmed was amazing, awesome and excellent.
We enjoyed our trip immensely and would be happy to book with Wingbuddy in the future.
Thank you
Donna and Frank Woodcock

Cheryl

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!

Well organized. Ship crew was very devoted to their guests to ensure they had a good time.
Elia was a pleasure to have as a guide; knowledgeable, funny, and well organized.

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 .

We missed our connecting flight due to bad weather which made us arrived a day late. They were there to pick us up and they worked very hard to make sure we saw the sights we missed the first day! We were impressed .

Found our tour guide exceptional. He made the trip for me. Loved the all inclusive too. Found the bus ride really hard as I did not anticipate it being so long. Would book with wing buddy again.
