I used Select Egypt for my recent 6 day trip to Cairo and could not be more pleased with the service I received. For several reasons, I recommend Select Egypt Travel to everyone:
1. Private guided tours - just you, the driver and your guide so, no jockeying for position among a large bus load of other tourists, no standing in lines for tickets.
2. Knowledgeable guides - I learned more in 3 days from Select Egypt professional guides than in years of school. I am still telling the stories behind the photographs I took that I would have never known without the guide.
3. Safe and reliable transportation - Picked up by a private driver in a clean, safe and modern car.
4. Freedom - Do the tour at your pace, in the order you want and choose to spend all your time with the guide, or sneak away to explore a site and take pictures if you want. It is ALL UP TO YOU.
5. Price - Select Egypt is extremely economical and demonstrates high value for the services you get. You get the VIP treatment at a reasonable cost.

I want to thank agency Select Egypt www.selectegypt.com as I liked the idea of small group travel, so dec'd to take the chance. My adult son and I just returned from Egypt and I cannot recommend Select Egypt highly enough. There was not one bad note. We were met at each airport and taken to the hotel or boat. And then from the hotel and boat back to the airport. We planned to leave Luxor for Cairo later than the rest of our group and therefore did not expect to be met. But there the rep was, with a huge smile. He solved a problem for us at the airport and did not leave until we went thru security. What a huge relief to be met.

There's no adjective for the ship experience. The ship and it's staff were wonderful. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. Sitting on the top deck looking at beautiful scenery and watching the life of rural Egypt was the highlight of the trip....incredible and so relaxing.

The guides in Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan were Egyptologists who obviously knew their subject and were excited about sharing it. They were also open to as many questions as we asked. I never saw any impatience from our guides. They seemed to really want us to have a positive experience.

When Select Egypt promises small groups in a van, that's what we had. There were 4 of us and we all got along . I've been with large groups and the difference was remarkable. I'd watch other groups trudging into sites....long lines of them, and felt quite smug about our four!


I could go on and on about the trip and the people from Select Egypt who made it so wonderful. I just returned and altho I'm exhausted, I'm still excited. I will most assuredly travel with them again and could not recommend them highly enough.

Our guide was absolutely wonderful and made our trip. So knowledgeable (and patient) with our group. From the moment we stepped off the plane in Cairo to our final days of the tour we were well taken care of by the ground personnel, drivers and Egyptologists of Select Egypt. We returned home with so many fond memories...not to mention so many pictures and movies that we could make a documentary. Those people made us live the trip of a lifetime. Everything was so well organized, no delays (everybody was always on time, the knowledge of our guides, Ramz was very impressing and the professionalism of Ahmed was evident all through the trip. The hotels, all 3 of them and the Nile cruise were fantastic. They took care of everything. Picking us at the airport, driving us all around, driving us back for the transfers, everything.
We had high expectations coming in and they exceeded them. I don't know what I could've asked for more other than having a few days more to . We've been travelling quite a bit and never had we seen this level of professionalism.
