We just finished a trip with Egypt and Beyond Travel. From start to finish, our trip was flawless. As I was planning, I emailed Tarek many many times and he was prompt and helpful with his responses. Once we arrived in Cairo, we were met by his incredible greeter, Nelly, taken to a company van and escorted around Cairo and the rest of Egypt by Tarek’s incredible staff. We were picked up, dropped off and handed over flawlessly by staff and guides and so we were able to relax and enjoy all Egypt has to offer. I cannot adequately describe the thrill of being here in person and seeing the pyramids, the temples and the burial sites. I am so happy we came – Egypt is a once-in-a-lifetime trip – and we will never forget it. I shopped around a ton before I booked this trip – all the regular companies plus a few of the ones that popped up on my Tripadvisor searches. Egypt and Beyond was way less expensive than the typical American package tours with large groups – for about 40% less than that we got private guided tours of our sites with guides we really really liked.
