USWe just returned from an unbelievableā¦ We just returned from an unbelievable 9-10 day private tour in Egypt & would highly recommend Amr with EGYPT FOR AMERICANS. From the moment we arrived, we were met & efficiently escorted through the Cairo airport & then on to our beautifully located hotel on the Nile River. All details from hotel check-in, to excellent local guides who were all Egyptologists, & to local drivers, were all tended to by local company coordinators. We had nothing to worry about! We were accompanied each leg of the trip by friendly and efficient guides & drivers. The Nile River cruise was beyond description. We visited many local sites that were only pages in history books before the trip. They were brought to life by the enthusiasm of the local guides. Being a small private tour, we were not herded around as a large tour group & everything felt personalized.

USTremendous service start to finish Tremendous service start to finish. We booked a 12-day private tour, using Hilton points for hotels to keep the cost down. They worked with us before the trip to tailor the itinerary to meet our desires. Everything from being greeted inside the security area before immigration, transfers, and especially the guides exceeded our expectations. Both of our guides were PhD level with decades of experience. Of special note, Gaber who was our guide in the Cairo area, arrange for museum directors to personally take us through their museums. Visits to less visited sites at Saqqara, Dashour, Maidum and others were fantastic as we had the sites to ourselves. We were able to stroll through the desert around these sites and find 4500 year-old pottery shards. Spend a bit more and go on a private tour. We heartily recommend Egypt for Americans and will book with them again.

USTrip of a lifetime with a great tour company My wife and I booked a small group tour very last notice in March 2021 with Egypt for Americans. They were very accommodating to our request and allowed us to make customizations to the tour such as a balloon ride over Luxor, a professional photographer session, tours to Alexandria, Memphis, and Dashur. We ended up being the only people on the tour, and rather than cancelling, they essentially gave us a private tour! All of the drivers, guides, and consultants were extremely professional, courteous, and nice. Magdy and Gaber were excellent tour guides. Having a majority of the meals paid for was a relief. Every airport in Egypt we were guided through(they are set up a little different from US and most European airports). We were given a mobile hotspot and phone on arrival, so purchasing a SIM card was not needed. The company also completely facilitated our Covid-19 tests that were required before our flight home. Overall, we had the trip of a lifetime and would not hesitate to book through Egypt for Americans in the future to see some of the new sites and the GEM!
