Intrepid travel did a wonderful job presenting Egypt, the culture, and the people in a well organized, safe, and economically responsible way. Our guide for the two week trip, Mohamed Abd Elhady, was kind, attentive to detail, and his knowledge is unsurpassed. Would definitely recommend this trip.

We loved the Intrepid Premium Tour to Egypt. Our guide Mohamed Adel was fantastic. The whole itinerary gave us a wonderful insight of the many highlights of Egypt. The Pyramids and Abu Simbel will live long in our memories, as will the relaxing river cruise on the Nile.

Fantastic trip! Our tour leader, Ahmed, was outstanding. We felt safe at all times and we were very well looked after. Jam packed itinerary, we saw everything we’d hoped to and so much more. If you’re thinking of going to Egypt - just go, you won’t be disappointed. Now need another holiday…
