★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 449 reviews · from $80Best value

Review of a private Cairo day trip to Fayoum Oasis, Wadi El Rayan waterfalls, sand dunes, Lake Qarun, Tunis Village, and Medinet Madi.

“We had a very disappointing and uncomfortable experience booking this and were pressured to give a 5-star review. On car ride back home the tour guide insisted we leave a 5-star review and show him the proof. We felt like we were kept hostage. Very uncomfortable. We didn't go to all the attractions, for example "eat lunch in the pottery-making village of Tunis" turned out to be lunch at a rundown restaurant next to the highway, and after we insisted on going to the village itself ("sure, we can go anywhere you want") the tour guide told us we're not actually allowed to go in and rushed us out within…”

“Let me start by saying all that was offered for the cost was mind-blowing to me. My tour guide was punctual, professional, and so polite. Mo Tolba is the best tour guide I have had on an excursion. He was knowledgeable and very accommodating; every opportunity he had to make my experience as enjoyable as possible for me, he did it. No stone was unturned, nor memory -making moment was missed. I felt right at home and so included even when conversation was had that I did not understand, which was much because I don't speak the native language. Luxury Tours Egypt is an exceptional tour company and, Lord willing,…”

White Desert and Bahariya Oasis tour review: desert camping, springs, sandboarding, meals, transport, value, and practical booking advice from Cairo.

“Unfortunately, this trip was a waste of money and very poorly organized. I paid for a 3 days / 2 nights tour to the Black and White Desert, but the itinerary did not match what was sold. On the first day, we arrived in Bahariya Oasis, and only around 2–3 pm did we actually start visiting both desert. After spending the night in the White Desert, we returned early the next morning back to the hotel. Since I had booked 3 days and 2 nights, I expected a clear plan for the second day. However, there was no itinerary at all. The hotel had no plan for me and no…”

“Everything about the tour was perfect thanks to our incredible tour leader Ramy and driver Taha. Their hospitality exceeded all expectations—we felt lucky to have them. Ramy and Taha ensured we were always comfortable, with drinks, food, and breaks. The transportation was clean, air-conditioned, and Taha’s driving made us feel safe on chaotic Egyptian roads. Ramy was flexible with the itinerary, letting us explore extra stops like markets in Siwa, translating when needed, and even snapping amazing photos for us. As a Western woman, I appreciated how they looked out for us, especially in rural areas, always respectful and mindful. They felt more like friends than guides, with great English…”
