"Incredible trip to Egypt"

My wife and I returned to Egypt for the second time with Osiris tours. Once again, everything was perfect... the planning, airport transfers, hotels and the tours were amazing. We visited, Cairo, Aswan, Abu Simbel, Luxor, Abydos and Dendara. Our guide , Sam was incredibly knowledgeable and very flexible on scheduling our visits to various sites. I will use no one else when visiting Egypt!!

"A Great Adventure to another land"

A Great Adventure to another land

We made the 20 hour flight total to visit Egypt. We could not have done this trip without the expertise of Mahmoud Gebril’s custom tours Osiris Tours. We have never had a completely planned trip by someone before and we picked the right person for this trip.
Every aspect of our trip was well planned and he made this a custom trip, adding what we wanted to see with expert guides.
This is a great time to visit Egypt. The weather was fantastic, the sites were not crowded and we were able to see all the places we had only dreamed of. An agent met us at the airport and helped us get our Visa and then onto our hotel.
On our trip we started in Cairo and had ample time to visit the bazaars and of course the Pyramids.
Our first night we had a wonderful meal overlooking the Pyramids with our Cairo guide Bery. Get used to honking cars and creative driving in Cairo. We went to the Pyramids, toured them and of course went on a camel ride.
Our journey continued with a flight to Aswan, we visited Philae Temple and had a beautiful boat ride on the Nile River in a Fleucca sail boat with our guide Khalaf.
We traveled by land through the desert to Abu Simbel and then onto Luxor the next day with our guide and driver. We went from desert to beautiful farm land along the Nile. Visiting the Valley of the Kings was amazing and then to Karnak and Luxor Temple.
We said goodbye to our guide and flew to Cairo to meet with our Cairo guide and our last day to see a Mosque and the museum.
This trip is so well planned that you do not have to buy tickets for anything as it is included in the price. The guides do all the work for you to make this a hassle free trip.
We stayed at beautiful hotels, had great food and all in all a wonderful experience. There were 3 of us on this trip and all of our needs were met.
If you want a hassle free, professional, friendly, personalized tour then I would like to recommend Osiris Tours 888-688-8854

Our consultant was Mahmoud Gebril

"Egypt Custom Private Tour (Cairo"

Egypt Custom Private Tour (Cairo, Giza, Luxor)

My wife and I would like to share about our time in Egypt and express our gratitude to a great private/custom travel tour company. We took this trip on the first place, in lieu of our long planned trip to Asia, and after doing our research and corresponding due diligence, we chose OSIRIS TOURS. After the selection, we designed a tailor-made itinerary, together with Mahmoud Gebril - founder and president of OSIRIS Tours. He understood our needs and wishes from the get – go and helped us set everything up. He was friendly, professional, and made the whole process enjoyable. I am unable to express my satisfaction with OSIRIS Tours fully.

There were several “bucket list” items we wanted to visit, and OSIRIS worked closely with us in order to fit our time to the perfect experience. We never felt lost or on our own to figure things out. At the airports and beyond, we always had the helpful and professional OSIRIS representatives to show us every step of the way, and to place us in the very capable hands of our coordinators. The drivers were professional, friendly, and very talented at their work. They always strived to run a tight schedule keeping the vehicle clean and safe. They got us from point A to B repeatedly, and we are thankful about their constant concern for our safety and comfort.

While touring the phenomenal sites at Cairo, Aswan, and Luxor, we always felt safe, protected, and attended to in every way. Our incredible guides at each location were very knowledgeable, professional, and worked diligently, both behind the scenes and firsthand. They had only one goal in mind, making our trip perfect. They made an incredible effort to be more than just a guide, but to make us feel at home, they literally opened their amazing and beautiful country to us. They have with their knowledge and narratives, the ability of making our imagination flight through time, and placed us at the time of the great pharaohs and kings…

Our hotels made us feel like royalty. OSIRIS chose perfect luxury lodging, best tour sites, and restaurants for us filling our days with excitement and wonder. Throughout the experience I marveled at the value we received for the cost of our tour. Thanks OSIRIS for the memories that will last a lifetime.

"Amazing Solo Travel"

I highly recommend booking your trip with Osiris Tours. I took a solo trip and spend 7 days exploring Egypt. I had a great time! I wish I had taken a longer tour with them. I explored Cairo and Luxor. The guides and drivers were so great and so knowledgeable. The hotel stays were incredible as well. I have already recommended Osiris Tours to friends and family looking to travel to Egypt. As for solo travelers, Osiris Tour was absolutely the best. Without this team, I would not have been able to see and experience so much of the country. I already know I have to return to Egypt. There is so much I have still to see. I will definitely be touring with Osiris Tours again in the future.

"A True Trip of a Lifetime with the Support of Osiris Tours"

My sister and I just got back from 10 wonderful days in Egypt. We had been planning to visit Egypt via a River Cruise/large tour group, but concerns regarding COVID changed that for us. Looking for another approach to visit this country, we found Osiris Tours and Mahmoud Gebril. It was the best thing that could have happened. Mahmoud immediately got back to our request for information, worked within our budget that had been set when we were going to do the group cruise, our desires for experiences, time frame, etc. He worked quickly and effectively to plan an amazing tour plan that was triple the experiences we would have had with the river cruise.
From the time we stepped off the plane in Cairo until we got through security heading home, every detail had been planned for and arranged via his multitude of local contacts and experts. And what a relief! Many of the procedures were different from what we know in the US and with the help, guidance and coaching of everyone we were able to breeze through all of the challenges of this level of travel including the added complications of COVID. We were able to just focus on enjoying our trip. We have had experiences with tour companies in the past, but the personal touch that Mahmoud has built into the trips he plans for his clients is unparalleled with any other.

During our time in Cairo, we were guided by Shirene Helal. Shirene has over 30 years as a guide, a broad educational background and the most amazing wealth of information. She is exceptional in her ability to connect the dots in the story of the people of Egypt through the millennia of their history. With her, we learned things that ranged from the meals loved by Egyptians to the connections between the various religious communities and how they developed thousands of years ago to the present day. We included in our tour a visit to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization and Shirene provided a detailed, well thought out and articulated guidance from start to finish that was better than anything provided by the Museum itself. We looked for a book in the Museum store on this subject but there wasn't one. Sherine could and should write it herself – it would be awesome!

Amr (sorry didn’t get last name) guided us through the temples around Aswan, a day trip to Abu Simbel and on the way north to Luxor. We enjoyed a sunset felucca ride and a visit to a Nubian village and dinner. Amr was fun and engaging. We enjoyed sharing stories about families with him and kidding him and he did it right back to us! It was really wonderful and added something unexpected to our experience.. He clearly had a plan for how to describe, explain and most importantly connect what we saw at each site to the next ones we would see. He was an artist in his ability to point out the nuances of the variations in the design, structure, decorations etc. in each of these sites. He had us hanging on to his every word and so well prepared to understand what we were seeing in the present and what we would see in the future. Because of a family emergency we were very sad that Amr couldn't complete our time in Luxor with him but with hardly any hiccup, Osiris Tours arranged for another excellent guide for us – Hatem.

Hatem el Saman was of course very knowledgeable, experienced, accommodating and responsive. He was really helpful with vendors and artisans. We truly enjoyed the nighttime tour of Luxor temple with him. Hatem guided us through the Valleys of the Kings and Queens and the Workers. Most of what we saw were tombs that didn't allow guides inside to minimize the damage to the centuries old antiquities because of the extra talking involved. He was excellent at pointing out things to look for when we had to go into tombs by ourselves, which happened very often during this part of our trip. He had us well prepared for the incredible sights, art, history we would see. He was fun to be with and we always felt we were in good hands.

Another important support person we experienced in Cairo (at the beginning and end of our trip) was Sherif Emam who handled transfers from the airport, to hotels to making arrangements to get our PCR tests. But Sherif did more than that. As we traveled through the city at different points in our trip, Sherif pointed out important points of interest and shared information about his country and his city. He was great fun and very engaging as he shared stories and like all the others made us feel part of the family!

We can't say too much about the wonderful trip that Osiris Tours and all their associates gave us. Five+ stars and two thumbs up! If you're planning a trip to Egypt, we would highly recommend contacting Mahmoud Gebril at Osiris Tours. He will make sure that your private tour will become a true trip of a lifetime.

"Osiris Top-Notch Service"

I did a 7 day tour with Osiris visiting Cairo and Luxor. It was an amazing journey from day 1 to 7. My guides were outstanding and the accommodations were all 5-Star properties. Osiris insured I would have a worry-free experience.

"Osiris tours set up a wonderful 12 day…"

Osiris tours set up a wonderful 12 day Egypt tour for my wife and me. We wanted a custom tour for the two of us to avoid large groups. Osiris reps. met us all along the way from touch down in Cairo to leaving 12 days later. Our tour guide, and much more, Mahmoud Farah, was with us in Cairo, Giza, Aswan and Luxor. His factual knowledge (Egyptology Univ of Cairo) woven with his understanding of ancient Egyptian culture gave us a great appreciation of 5,000 years of history. He was sensitive to our pace of activity as we are a bit beyond middle age and made our busy days a pleasure. Mahmoud was a big reason our tour was so good! A concern was the "private vehicle" and driver but the new Toyota vans used on the longer trips were roomy, comfortable, air conditioned and clean. The drivers were excellent and handled the chaotic mix of traffic with skill!

We had the trip of a lifetime because of the knowledge and care of the USA and Egyptian staff and agents of OsirisTours!

"Osiris Tours Is Excellent!"

Osiris Tours planned the perfect vacation for my two college friends and me. We were taken care of the moment we landed in Cairo until boarding again en route back to New York. Our hotels were great, and our airport assistance with Hesham and our two tour guides Abeer and Hamdy were all extremely knowledgeable and personable. Our drivers were also excellent - Thank you for all of your help! We literally would not know how to navigate Egypt without them. Mahmoud was excellent and extremely responsive while planning the trip and making sure all accommodations went smoothly. I highly recommend this tour company for anyone looking to go to Egypt (which you should!). I've already shared their information with family and friends.

"Wonderful Egypt!"

We had such an amazing trip! Mahmoud of Osiris tours helped us plan our dream trip, and then guides / Egyptologists Saad and Sam and Shariff and all the others, including the drivers, executed a seamless, fun and just all around wonderful trip.
We started in Cairo, and went on to Aswan, which was a beautiful spot, and unfortunately our time there was short. We drove to Abu Simbel to see the towering statues, took the Nile cruise to magical Luxor and then drove to the Red Sea. We learned so much about the the Egyptian past as well as the present. We treated ourselves to five-star all the way, and thoroughly enjoyed the pools at each hotel at the end of the day.
Visiting Egypt had been a dream of mine since an art history course in college many years ago, and I had pretty much thought it would never happen, and then luckily found Osiris. Thank you so much for the trip... We are very grateful... and will always cherish our memories of all the wonderful places and especially the people we met along the way.

"Choising this tour company was the best…"

Choising this tour company was the best choice I've made for my vacation. They helped my every step of way including making an itinerary specific to what I wanted to see. I even had to moved the trip from 2 monthes away to two weeks and they were happy to work around my changed plans. Will 200% book with them again.
