Egyptian Family Adventure - 9 Days

The tour was great. It was busy, but there wasn't anything that we would have wanted to miss out! The hotels were all of good quality, comfortable and in good locations. Helal was a great guide and was not only knowledge and generous with his time, but tirelessly patient with the children. He took us to some really interesting local restaurants and really helped with tired children. His pitch for explaining the complexity of the ancient relationships and timelines was perfect, enough information for adults and quirky stories for the children. We were also happy to have the change to flights as I think it probably worked for us better than the overnight trains would have. I would highly recommend the tour and especially Helal to anyone thinking about visiting Egypt.

What an amazing trip, On the go tours surely covered alot. They have looked after us from day one, the tour guide Sherif most definitely made us all feel at home. His was thorough. He made sure everyone came back to the hotel safely. We were spoilt with water everyday, wake up calls, assistance to super locations, A big welldone. He assisted with excellent service in order to visit extra sites. I could not rate Egypt lower than Excellent

We are so glad we went on this trip. We loved it! We covered a lot of Egypt that we would not have done on our own. Our guide worked tirelessly for the group. He was very informative. Helal was very good with everyone especially the kids. He taught them a lot of new games. We learnt a lot of history and he explained everything at the kids level so everyone could understand. Love the Egyptian cuisine he took us to. Helal coordinated mini buses, trains and us and very efficient. The man has patience! All the accommodations of very good standard. Would highly recommend trip and guide! Fernando says, 'Our trip was great, I have learnt many things from that trip. Our breakfast buffet was always amazing. The historical sites we visited were fantastic'.

We spent 10 weeks travelling around the world, including a visit to Egypt on your 10 Day Family Adventure in September. The children both agree that your tour was the highlight of the entire journey and I have to say I agree with them! We were made so welcome by your staff and the people we encountered. We absolutely loved the quirky opportunities such as camel riding and haggling in the local bazaars. The hotels were excellent - clean and refreshing and our tour guide, Helal, was like a favourite uncle to the kids on the tour. He was the perfect tour guide - organized, relaxed and friendly. Apart from keeping the kids entertained, he made it so easy for the adults to enjoy the sights too. This tour was so well thought out and combined so many amazing elements. I just hope many more people take the opportunity to visit this amazing country and do so with one of your tours. We certainly intend to travel with On the Go again! Thank-you so much.

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our Egyptian Family Adventure Tour and we would definitely recommend this tour to any family! Our Tour Guide, Ahmed, was extremely approachable and helpful, making sure that we are comfortable and have everything we need, especially at the start and the end of the tour. Our Tour Guide, Helal, was so friendly, flexible and accommodating, so that everyone felt at ease, whether sightseeing, having meals or shopping at a market. He was prepared to change plans to suit everyone, at the same time making sure that we were not missing out on any of wonderful experiences! Helal’s fantastic knowledge and passion for the History of Ancient Egypt made sure that all of us learnt amazing details about it! This included adjusting his explanations to keep children interested, making them a part of a story. Any parent knows how hard it can be to travel with kids, especially on long trips overseas, when they are trying to adjust to time difference, picky eaters, tired and grumpy... Helal made it so easy for us all, ensuring the kids were having fun and a good play, allowing parents to relax and have a bit of a break too. Safety being one of the main concerns before the trip, we were so impressed by how safe we were made feel by our Tour Guide and Leader, who were always there for us with a helpful advice at any time and about anything. Overall, we had fantastic time, learnt a lot and loved our experiences! We would love to come back again and would recommend this tour to everyone. Thank you so much!

We had a marvelous time -- and Halel was so kind and helpful. We only wish more people would visit Egypt!

Helal was a very professional tour guide with a thorough knowledge of ancient Egypt. We really enjoyed learning about the ancient gods and pharaohs. Helal also provided cultural experiences and information, chose a range of different restaurants, was respectful, attentive, patient, funny and kind. He was fantastic with the kids and adults. Special thank you from us for taking special care of our dietary needs. I have a severe food allergy (wheat) and my husband is a vegetarian. We were never unwell and had plenty of delicious food to eat. He kept us safe discretely, and gave clear directions about safety, meeting places etc. We appreciate his efforts and care. My only suggestion would be to add activities I to the last day in Cairo. Perhaps Saqqara and Memphis. We also would suggest a change to the first hotel near the Sphinx.
