Our 8-day Egypt Family Holiday with Intrepid was nothing short of incredible. To travel in the company of our local guide Mudi, an expert Egyptologist was a real privilege and really elevated the experience beyond going it alone. The itinerary was well planned, and took in to account the needs of families, without impacting the adventure. The experience was relaxing for the parents too because, despite being fast-paced, all the logistics were taken care of allowing us to enjoy the journey.

Our tour guide Mudi was a great good guide. He interacted really well with us kids. I loved his funniness and cool role play to bring the stories of Egypt to life. The hot air balloon ride was amazing. From Sheep.
