Alexandria & Ancient Egypt - 13 days

From the minute we walked down the arrival stairs of Cairo Airport & saw the extremely efficient Hossam waiting with a smile & an on the Go sign, until he later saw us through the departure gates as we said goodbye to Egypt, the whole experience was awe inspiring and mind blowing. The staff we met were personable, knowledgeable and respectful. From the co-ordinator Amir to the drivers, everyone went out of their way to ensure all people on the tour got what they wanted/needed from their trip to Egypt. As for our Faithful Leader Dino, where do I start! when it comes to History, Dino is an incredibly knowledgeable tour guide. He shared with us all he knew and answered every question with ease. Dino obviously loves Egypt, its history (modern & ancient), its monuments and its people (past & present) and passed this love onto all of us. It sounds cliché' but Dino really did make our trip. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute spent in Egypt and would recommend On the Go and Egypt to anyone looking for a remarkable holiday. Egypt had long been a dream destination for me, a must do, a bucket list item and it did not disappoint. Wow, what incredible time we had. Thanks to the relaxed structure of the tour group it was surprisingly sad to say farewell when after 12 days the time came to board that flight back to Oz. Thanks to Dino and On the Go Tours my Egyptian dream was realised. Thank you for sharing your incredible country!

Our tour guide Aamer Ibrahim was amazing he was a fantastic story teller and very accommodating. He took us to local cafes and places so that we had an authentic experience and not just in the hotel. The Nile Cruise we were on was one of the only boats to have a balcony and it was amazing. The tour buses were clean and the driver always stayed with the bus. There were also toilets on board which was amazing.

It was a truly wonderful tour I loved everything about it It was great to be met at the airport and helped though as it was as I left this helped so much so I say thank you once again to those people. I think it was Abdul and George Our Main guide Dino couldn't have been more helpful or friendly, nothing was too much trouble for him and he was so knowledgeable. It can't be easy to keep so many people happy at the same time. Our other guide on the cruise ship, Aaram (sorry I think I have the wrong spelling there) was very good too and so funny. The cruise ship itself was fantastic and the staff were tripping over themselves to attend us. The food and accommodation was top class. Abdul was on his "L" plates but I'm sure, in time, will do very well on his own While I say all we saw, the temples ( just kept getting bigger and bigger) the towns, all that was Egypton was great and guides couldn't have been better. I think I also need to say That the Abu Simbel part of the tour should be included in the price and not an add on, as nobody would go to Egypt and not want to go to Abu Simbel Also the Oasis Hotel was the worst of a great bunch, the location, with no shop nearby and the feeling you had nowhere to go but stay in your hotel room To one staff member I seemed too much of a inconvenience when I had to send my chicken back as it was uncooked. My plate was taken away with no words then brought back 10 minutes late, plate just dropped down in front of me again no words while he shuffled off. The chicken had been thrown in the deep fryer and was now dead. Hence it was left on the plate. This is the same staff member that took half and hour to actually acknowledge that we wanted to order the first night we were there These are only little things and it did not take away the fact that I had a fantastic holiday due to the fellow travellers, wonderful guides and "On the go Tours" THANK YOU I WILL RETURN

Excellent tour, I would highly recommend this tour to anybody that wants to visit Egypt. Our tour guide was so knowledgeable about Egypt’s rich history, I learned so much on this tour. On the Go Tours and our guide really went the extra mile to make sure that all of our needs were met and that we were having a great time. I couldn’t ask for a better holiday.

I chose the On the Go Tours Alexandria & Ancient Egypt tour package with the Abu Simbel bolt-on and cannot recommend On the Go Tours for Egypt strongly enough. I strongly recommend the bolt-on to Abu Simbel to see the Great Temple of Ramesses II and the Small Temple of Nefertari. This was definitely one of the highlights of the trip and well worth the early wakeup. I would also recommend the felucca over the cruise. Walid was my guide for the two-day Alexandria and El Alamein portion of the tour, and Momo was my guide for Ancient Egypt. Both guides were incredibly knowledgeable and personable, and I would highly recommend both. Momo was exceptional in turning a group 15 strangers on the first day to a family by the end of the week. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wishing to travel to Egypt.

Fantastic! Can't say it enough...Egypt, the tour, and our tour guide Alam...AMAZING! We had a phenomenal time, Alam is very professional but at the same time had a way of making you feel like family, he is so full of knowledge....we learned a lot from him. The tour was everything and more. Highly recommend to anyone considering Egypt..and you should because it is an incredible country with incredible people! Loved it so much...can't wait to go back!

I have always wanted to visit Egypt, and just decided one day I needed to go, despite many friends and family concerns as to why I wanted to go. All their concerns and worries were immediately negated the moment I arrived in Cairo. From the moment I arrived to the time that I left, The On the Go team made me feel safe and welcome. There is so much I could say about the tour, but to sum up my feelings was that it was AWESOME!! I experienced and saw so much. Experiences that I will keep with me for a lifetime. What made it all that much better, was the other people in the tour group, many of which I still keep in contact with, including our tour Guide, Haytham. Haytham's knowledge and charismatic character shinned throughout the tour. I was lucky enough to have a night in Alexandria with my tour guide and he was able to show me some real life Egyptian culture outside the tourist attractions. Being able to have this experience and having the cultural education to learn more about the real Egypt was an amazing. We don't get to see that through the media. Egypt is an Amazing Place, and I will have to go back one day. On the Go Tours provided a warm and friendly environment to travel in. Every need and want was looked after by the guides and company reps. I would recommend On the Go Tours and Egypt as a Travel Destination

The tour was excellent and Momo was a fantastic guide. Through humour and role play he taught us the basics about the ancient Gods. After that it was easy to follow. Momo is very passionate about his country and his people and that was very evident every day. The whole tour ran smoothly and I never felt unsafe at any time. I highly recommend On The Go Tours. Thank you Momo. You made it a memorable trip.

The tour was everything we expected and more thanks to our fantastic guide Aamer. He is not only a very knowledgeable Egyptologist, he is a caring, loving human being. He made us feel like we were part of his family and I give him the highest rating. Secondly I'd like to say how impressed I was with the security during our tour. At no time did I feel unsafe. The only part of the tour I wasn't impressed with was the sleeper train and that is the only reason why I give 4 stars for the tour.

Momo our tour guide from On the go tours was amazingly insightful and knew what he was talking about, almost everyone I know said PLEASE don't have your honeymoon in Egypt it isn't safe, I'm glade we didn't listen. We felt safe 100% of the time in Egypt. The people are beautiful, all of them, cheeky, full of smiles, fun and kind. What can I say about sight seeing, well I've ticked off most of my childhood dreams with the trust and guidance of "On The Go Tours" cant wait to come back and do a solo trip and get all the good vibes again
