Visiting Egypt has been a dream of mine for years, and I knew that the best way for me to get there and get the most out of my visit would be through a guided tour. With TripToGo, from the customer service reps to our tour guides to every excursion we packed into 8 days, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Booking the trip online was incredibly easy. I appreciated that I could easily access my documents through the website. I also spoke to multiple customer service reps in the months leading up to the trip, and each person I spoke to was very knowledgeable and patient with my many questions. They also worked with me to book my air travel, which was a big help. The trip itself was incredibly well organized. Our tour guide, Mr. Moh, and tour assistant, Mr. Hesham, helped us feel welcome and taken care of even before our arrival in Cairo. They opened a WhatsApp chat with all of us on the tour about a week before we arrived and were very quick to answer everyone's questions. And they went above and beyond with their kindness, helpfulness, and hospitality throughout our trip. Every day, we knew the schedule, which was key because we packed a lot of sites into a week! We got an incredible education every place we went. I only wish I had asked more questions, as Mr. Moh is an encyclopedia of knowledge. Additionally, they ensured we had plenty of bottled water on hand, especially as traveling to Egypt in May means very warm days. On hot days, Mr. Moh kept us in the shade as much as possible as he shared the history of each site with us; he even rearranged the schedule once so we could visit one of the temples later in the day when it was cooler. If someone wasn't feeling well, they assisted however they could, including stopping at a pharmacy if someone needed some over-the-counter medication. As this was the first fully guided tour I'd ever been on in another country, I was so impressed with just how much time and effort they put into making this trip special and meaningful for all of us, how they got to know all of us, and I'm sure they were doing a lot behind the scenes that we weren't even aware of to make the experience as seamless as it was. It's a lot of work leading a group of 30+ people around a country - and we traveled by bus, boat, and plane on this trip - and I feel so fortunate we had Mr. Moh and Mr. Hesham to keep us on track and having fun the whole time. All the excursions and sites we visited are remarkable. And the optional excursions, like the sunrise hot air balloon ride over the Nile and temples in Luxor, were simply brilliant ways of making a once-in-a-lifetime trip truly memorable. Plus, we not only learned about ancient Egypt, but we were also able to experience modern-day Egypt, visiting a spice shop, a papyrus shop, a perfume shop, and more. I've been raving about the trip since I returned, and everyone has been blown away by the pictures and all we places we visited. A couple of friends are already planning to sign up with TripToGo and see Egypt for themselves. I'm happy to highly recommend it! read more

We traveled to Egypt in late 2025. While we expected to be impressed by the history, we didn't expect to be so deeply moved by the experience. Egypt is a destination filled with bucket-list sights--from the Pyramids of Giza to the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel--but what truly transformed this from a "great trip" into an "exceptional, once-in-a-lifetime journey" was the expertise and passion of our guides, Sherif and Heshame. ​ ​In a country where every corner holds thousands of years of history, it is easy to feel overwhelmed. Sherif and Heshame provided much more than just facts and dates; they provided context, storytelling, soul, and unmatched personal attention. ​Sherif was a master at navigating the complexities of the sites, ensuring we were always in the right place at the right time to avoid the crowds and see the details most people miss; he was beyond exceptional. He was super high-energy, which I appreciated; he made sure we saw every possible highlight during our time together. He made sure that everyone had an enjoyable time while gaining a deep understanding of his homeland. He is truly a fantastic Egyptologist; I quickly developed the highest respect both for his deep expertise of Egypt and ability to engage and connect in a genuinely personal way with everyone in our group. ​Heshame worked seamlessly with Sherif to make our trip wonderful. He worked behind the scenes as a world-class "quarterback" to make sure every aspect of our tour was experienced flawlessly and without any hiccups. On a trip like this, where there are many people and moving parts, there are countless opportunities for small (and large!) things to go wrong. Heshame made sure that didn't happen. ​ ​What truly set Sherif and Heshame apart was their personal touch. They didn't just show us Egypt; they invited us into it. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail meant we never had to worry about the logistics--we were free to simply soak in the majesty of our surroundings. They worked so well together...it was a textbook example of teamwork at its highest level! ​If you are planning a trip to Egypt, you will see incredible things. But if you want to truly understand and feel the weight of that history, you need guides who care as much as these two do. Sherif and Heshame are second to none. They turned a vacation into a profound life experience that we will be talking about for years to come. Our experience with TripToGo exceeded our high expectations in every single way! read more

We traveled on the Timeless Egypt package through Trip to Go in March 2026, and overall it was an incredibly well-organized and seamless experience. Every detail in the itinerary was accurate and thoughtfully planned, which made the trip smooth and enjoyable. I will say, I was initially considering giving 4 stars due to the difficulty we experienced getting in touch with Trip to Go regarding our travel documents. We were told they would be provided 30-45 days in advance, but we did not receive them until about a week before departure, which was stressful. However, once the trip began, everything ran flawlessly. Outside of the delayed travel documents, everything else was excellent. The hotels and cruise accommodations were also very nice. Our tour guide, Yasser, was truly phenomenal and without a doubt the best guide I've had in all my travels. He was with our group from start to finish, always setting clear expectations and sharing a wealth of historical knowledge at every stop. He answered all of our questions and made sure everyone was taken care of throughout the journey. We were initially hesitant to take this trip due to concerns about the situation in the Middle East, but we decided to go and I'm so glad we did. It turned out to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We felt safe every step of the way, thanks to Yasser's professionalism and the added group guard and security presence at the tourist sites we visited. This is definitely a fast-paced tour, with a few early 4 a.m. starts, but it is absolutely worth it. You get to see and experience so much of Egypt in a relatively short time. Thank you, Yasser and Trip to Go, for an unforgettable journey. If it weren't for the initial communication issue, this would easily be a perfect experience, but thanks to Yasser, it still felt like one. I would highly recommend this tour, especially with him as your guide! read more

I went on the May 4 Egypt trip with Trip 2 Go. What I liked: 1. The package cost was reasonable 2. The inclusions were reasonable 3. The tour guide (Sherif Ghamry) was excellent in terms of knowledge (a true Egyptologist) 4. The Nile cruise was very good 5. The all inclusive resort stay at Hurghada was very good (but too short and shortened further) 6. The security during tours was top notch What I disliked: 1. The communication in general was not great. Information was being shared late and almost on a need to know basis. For the same day only. No forward view. 2. The tour assistant (Ahmed Khattab) was not up to the mark. We missed breakfast the first day because he didn't a) make sure we are in the Group Whatsapp chat and b) slipped a poorly handwritten note under our door at midnight saying we meet 7:30am next morning with no room or contact number shared to call or write back to him. So my wife and ended up coming down 7:30am only to find everyone else packed and ready after breakfast while we were not. Very unprofessional start! 2. The excessive focus on tips. On the 20 plus trips I've taken around the world, where we generally tip more than the suggested amount, this was the first trip we felt everyone in the Group was asked to tip a fixed amount and to do so midway through the tour process. A special meeting was even called just to collect tips. This came across to the group as rather greedy and transactional. Stop that! Keep tips to the last day and let each person pay what they think is deserved for the service rendered. 3. Due to poor planning, we ended up cutting our all inclusive stay at the Resort by almost half a day. The take away food box was so bad it was not worth the paper it came wrapped in. Disappointed by that! But inspite of these shortcomings, a good trip overall that represented value for money for those who joined on this date. read more

I just got back from my second trip through TripToGo. My first was to Japan and this one was to Thailand, with my best friend. It was a celebration trip for my 46th birthday and her recovery from two brain surgeries. We had an amazing experience, truly! They took our small group to beautiful temples, ancient ruins, the Pattaya floating market, dinner cruise in Bangkok, and out to Coral Island for a day including lunch (such gorgous water and white sand!). Our guide, Tiger, was so friendly and funny. He was eager to please and adjusted plans as the group decided things we wanted that veered off the official itinerary--for example, one girl in the group, who became a fast friend of ours, was passionate about tigers and had learned there was a tiger sanctuary there. So Tiger (I know ironic name! But animal names are common in Thailand, he taught us) shifted our shopping time to allot for a tiger visit, which we all decided to sign up for. Petting tiger cubs was unforgettable! We also got a day with elephants, including caking them in mud to cool them off and then splashing in the water with them to clean them. We fed them and made vitamin supplement treats for them. TripToGo really put together the perfect itinerary of history, natural beauty and fun. Their prices are excellent too! read more

We had an absolutely unforgettable experience traveling through Egypt with TripToGo, and so much of that is thanks to our incredible lead guide, Hesham Jaafer. From the moment we arrived in Cairo to our final days in Hurghada, Hesham and his outstanding team made every step of the journey seamless, engaging, and truly special. Their deep knowledge of Egypt's history brought every site to life--from the pyramids to the temples--adding rich context and fascinating stories that you simply wouldn't get on your own. What really set Hesham apart, though, was his genuine care for our group. He was always attentive, organized, and one step ahead--whether it was handling logistics effortlessly, making sure everyone felt comfortable, or adding thoughtful touches that elevated the entire experience. His passion for sharing his country was evident in everything he did. Traveling from Cairo to Hurghada can be a big undertaking, but with Hesham leading the way, it felt smooth, safe, and incredibly enjoyable. He struck the perfect balance between professionalism and warmth, making us feel like we were exploring Egypt with a trusted friend. If you're considering a TripToGo tour, we cannot recommend Hesham Jaafer highly enough. He truly made our trip extraordinary. read more

This TripToGo journey, Whispers of Europe: Paris, Switzerland with Lauterbrunnen & the Heart of Italy, April 1-11, 2026, was nothing short of extraordinary. Every destination was wonderful, from the timeless elegance of Paris to the breathtaking alpine beauty of Switzerland and the storybook serenity of each town, all the way to the warmth, history, and soul of Italy. The tour was fast paced; accommodations were excellent, and each experience struck a wonderful balance between iconic highlights and authentic local moments. What truly elevated the tour was our guide, Peter, our driver Alex and the rest of the TripToGo team. Their knowledge, organization, and genuine passion for Europe brought every place to life. Peter shared history and cultural insights in a way that was engaging and memorable, while always being attentive, approachable, and supportive of the group. Thanks to Peter's guidance, the journey felt seamless, enriching, and deeply personal. This tour exceeded expectations in every way and created memories that will last a lifetime. I would wholeheartedly recommend TripToGo and especially this itinerary to anyone dreaming of experiencing Europe at its very best. read more

May12-21TrioToGo Amazing Egypt. Trip was indeed amazing thanks to team of Hesham Jaafer. From entry to Cairo airport we were assisted every step of the way until departure home. No waiting around, modern comfortable transportation in Egypt with incredible bus driver LouLou who kept us safe and comfortable. Beautiful accommodations with comfortable beds. Hesham's organizational skills shone keeping us all moving together, on time without feeling rushed. Hesham's calm & steady presence made us feel safe and secure and without worry. All questions, issues were addressed with a smile. He was always nearby to assist when needed but was never intrusive. Mohammed Shazley was our main guide who shared his knowledge and passion for Ehistory in a fun & interactive way. We saw and experienced more than we had imagined. This trip will rank as one of our most memorable ones thanks to Hesham, Moh, Solomon & LouLou! Because of this experience, we will not hesitate to book with Trip to Go again.

We had the absolute pleasure of touring Japan with our guide, Sumi, and she made our experience truly unforgettable. She guided us through Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka, and at every stop she brought the history, culture, and daily life of Japan to life in such a special way. Sumi was warm, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable about every place we visited. Whether we were exploring temples, neighborhoods, or hidden local spots, she always had fascinating stories and insights that made each location even more meaningful. Her storytelling was wonderful, and her enthusiasm and energy never seemed to run out! What really stood out was how much she cared about making sure we had the best experience possible. She was thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely delightful to spend time with. Traveling with her felt less like having a guide and more like exploring Japan with a very knowledgeable friend. Sumi was simply amazing, and we would happily travel under her guidance again anytime. We cannot recommend her highly enough! read more

A Spectacular 10-Day Egypt Journey Beyond Expectations We just returned from an incredible 10-day private tour of Egypt in February, organized by Kelly with TripToGo for our group of 22. It truly exceeded all expectations! Our local guide, Sherif, was outstanding--extremely knowledgeable about ancient Egyptian history, charismatic, and incredibly attentive to every detail. He took such great care of our group throughout the journey. The itinerary was perfect: we explored the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo, enjoyed a magical Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, relaxed by the Red Sea in Hurghada, visited beautiful Alexandria, and wrapped up our trip back in Cairo. Everything was seamless, enriching, and unforgettable. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering a trip to Egypt with TripToGo and Sherif!! read more

If you're undecided about traveling to Egypt, I say "GO!" As a single female traveler who took the Timeless Egypt trip in April, I can tell you I felt totally safe from the moment of arrival to departure. It was the trip of a lifetime! TripToGo exceeded all expectations. From the moment we landed at Cairo Airport our memorable and well-run 10-day adventure began under the professional and personable Hesham Jaafer. Carefully curated, our itinerary included iconic landmarks in Cairo Luxor and Alexandria where our skillful guide Moh Shazley led us back in time. The Nile cruise and the 21st century indulgences at the Red Sea resort of Hurghada balanced out a vey busy but exceptionally well-run trip. The optional excursions (hot air balloon, snorkeling, and city tours) are a must-do as well. Would I recommend this trip to all my family and friends? Absolutely!! read more

What an epic Timeless Egypt trip thanks to our wonderful local guides Mr Moh Shazly and Mr Hesham Jaafer! We booked the Egypt trip over a year in advance. A little over a month before departure the U.S./Iran war started. The communication with the TripToGo North America office left a lot to be desired. That experience changed completely when Moh and Hesham reached out to connect directly a week before trip's start. Through a WeChat chat group, Moh and Hesham kept the entire "class of 5/6/26" informed. Moh and Hesham were experienced, knowledgeable, organized, thoughtful, proactive, personable, articulate and had a great sense of humor. They delivered a tour experience that was professional and world class. Moh and Hesham, thanks for the memories!!! Wishing you all the best!!! read more

Our tour guides were truly one of the highlights of our Egypt trip. From the moment we arrived in Egypt until the end of our trip, our tour guide Ahmed Khattab, was exceptional in every way, he treated our group like family and went above and beyond to make sure we had an incredible experience. His knowledge, kindness, patience, and passion for Egypt made every day special. He brought Egypt's history & culture to life and always made us feel welcomed, safe, and cared for. Thanks to him, we were able to fully enjoy every moment and create memories that will last a lifetime. I am so grateful for everything he did for our group and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Egypt. Thank you for making our dream trip so amazing! read more

Our tour of Peru was our first with TripToGo and it was truly one of the best, if not THE BEST, trip we've ever done and we've travelled a lot. We had private drivers and tour guides throughout, our hotels were all 5-star (in Lima, Cusco and Sacred Valley) and we were treated extremely well by all. Every tour was simply awesome - Machu Picchu, Cusco, Lima, Sacred Valley and Rainbow Mountain. The tour guides were all terrific - knowledgeable and attentive. A BIG Thank you to all our tour guides, especially Kelly. This was a tremendous value and we look forward to booking with TourToGo again in the near future. We haighly recomment the company! We just wish we could pay in CDN rather than USD. read more

The trip was truly memorable and a breathtaking experience. The value for such a fantastic experience was simply stunning. We saw 90% of the main historical sites in egypt with master and PhD level tour guides Moh and Yasser who explained everything in great clarity and developed more deeply as our trip progressed. Questions were encouraged and answered in great detail when asked, and I even learned of cutting edge research and recent discoveries. The logistics and security were expertly handled by the assistant tour guide Esham and with the exception of our very safe red sea resort experience at the end, we were accompanied everywhere by a vigilant and helpful armed tourist police officer. read more

Wonderful Egypt trip! Organized and efficient. Felt safe and well cared for. Sherif was the best Egyptologist we could ask for. Knowledgeable, funny, with exceptional hospitality. Ahmed had all of the details taken care of including requests on the fly and never missed a beat. Couldn't imagine a better itinerary and felt we saw and did so many things and really experienced history, culture, and geography of the country. We met many terrific people on the tour and made new friends. I would recommend Trip to Go, Castle Tours and our guides most highly and without reservation if you are planning a trip to Egypt. Thank you all for our best family vacation yet! read more

Orsi and Peter are truly wonderful guides. Their professionalism and attention to detail really stood out throughout the entire trip. They worked incredibly hard behind the scenes. Thanks to their efforts, we were able to fully relax and enjoy every moment of our journey. Both Orsi and Peter were always friendly, patient, and approachable. They were genuinely helpful and consistently ready to support each guest with great care. Whenever we had questions or needed assistance, they responded promptly and thoughtfully. Their positive attitude and dedication made the whole experience even more memorable. I highly recommend them! read more

Yasser made this experience feel truly exceptional. His guidance, professionalism, and attention to detail created a level of comfort and ease that made everything feel seamless from beginning to end. I genuinely do not think I would have felt as relaxed, supported, or well cared for without him. The entire package was absolutely worth it. The food was outstanding, the staff were courteous and attentive, the drivers were punctual and professional, and the security provided a strong sense of comfort and reassurance throughout. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, making the entire experience smooth and memorable. read more
