A spectacular tour , made so by a small group of awesome people & the best tour leader. We saw the good sides - ancient civilisations and the bad sides - the current mayhem of present day Egypt.

The 9 day Egypt tour with intrepid was memorable and knowledgeable for me. I learned more than I thought I would and thoroughly enjoyed my time. Intrepids guided tour wasn’t only great for the organization of the locations but the informative guide they had leading us along the way! Thanks!

Premium Egypt was a terrific experience: every aspect was taken care so our group didn't need to sweat the small stuff. The ancient sites and the modern aspects of Egypt were a great blend of history and culture. I highly recommend this package: every day was grander and more spectacular, and that's with seeing the Pyramids of Giza on Day One!
