Egypt & The Nile

Add-Ons and tour guide preferred shops add significant costs to the trip. Be prepared to spend at least an additional 1/4 of the cost of your trip. Amazing trip if you have the extra money!

This tour was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. We visited a lot of interesting historical sites and did some amazing activities like camel riding and snorkeling/scuba diving. We also had a good amount of time to relax and soak up the hot Egyptian sun while on the river cruise. Most of the included meals were fantastic, especially on the cruise! The bagged breakfast on the 2 early mornings could use some work. I wish the group had been smaller though. 42 people is a lot. They tried to make it better by splitting us into two buses, but I felt like the 2 subgroup were on totally different tours since we had different tour guides. It didn't feel quite as much like a cohesive Contiki family. I was also very disappointed that there was no day song and no music on the bus at all. The tour guides didn't put any effort into making the bus rides more enjoyable.

Sheriff (the tour guide) made this experience incredible. After twenty years, he is still so passionate about the sites and his country. The sites and the itinerary were outstanding, and almost out of this world.

Sheriff was an excellent trip leader. His knowledge is amazing! Everything was well organised and our satisfaction was always a number one priority. Only complaint is some of the accommodation was a bit dated but that is to be expected!

This is truly a once in a lifetime trip, The cruise was luxurious! It was a jam packed trip, but I feel like we didn't miss out on anything so it was definitely worth it. I would 100% recommend this trip!

Absolutely amazing! Highly suggest going!

The history in Egypt is unlike anywhere else in the world, contiki created a trip full of adventure in 8 days. The Nile cruise was a highlight, as well as riding camels around the pyramids. Sharif was a great leader for our group!

the things that we saw were amazing, however, if you didn't do the optional activities then you didn't get to see much, there was to many people on the tour, put on other tours and don't split the groups. the accomodation was terrible! tour manager was very knowledgable however there was some inappropriate comments and actions towards female members of the tour. I would not recommend this tour to others, explore other options at this price

Needed better hotels..the hotels were outdated and some even dirty

Include the cost of the add on excursions online, because that definitely upped the price... slightly deceiving

Do not hesitate if you are considering booking this trip!! Sherif was the best tour guide possible and made sure the entire group was having a great time every day. It was a great value for the money. However, there are more free-time add ons than what Contiki lists on their website. They were all worth the money.

Great trip at great price

Fantastic trip, would very highly recommend, as there is nothing else quite like it. Anyone with concerns over security/how safe it is (as we definitely had some nerves): you are very well looked after, including airport transfers, subtle but helpful security, and the tour manager explains all the tips and tricks to be as street smart as possible.

Very well organized and loved every moment of it!

Great and safe experience but the pre sale service is terrible. No info pack was mailed, no collaboration with other people going on the same trip and the spare money guide was 1/6th of the amount needed which damped the mood over there

Very good for price however another tour company did a similar tour for about half the price, plus more items should be included in the price instead of as an add-on

Great trip! Amazing sights to see!

Trip was absolutely wonderful and life-changing. It’s truly a lifetime experience, and you’ll learn so much. Don’t count on Contiki to provide any details in advance, but be prepared for anything.

Absolutely Incredible! recommend for anyone.
