About this trip

What a tailor-made Egypt tour is like

A tailor-made Egypt tour starts with your dates and what you want to see. We build the route, and you change it before anything is booked.

This is a tailor-made route through Anywhere in Egypt, run privately unless you pick a group departure. Your guide is a licensed Egyptologist who lives on the route rather than flying in with the group.

Nothing here is fixed. Days can be added, dropped or reordered, and we will tell you honestly which optional sites are worth the extra ticket.

Day by day

This one is built around you

There is no fixed itinerary because there is no fixed trip. Tell us how long you have and what you want to see, and we will write the days out properly before you commit to anything.

Questions about this trip

How does a tailor-made trip work?+

You tell us roughly how long you have and what you want to see. We write a route with prices, you change whatever you like, and nothing is booked until you are happy with it.

Is it more expensive than a set itinerary?+

Not necessarily. A private trip costs more per person than a group departure, but building the route around your dates often removes nights and transfers you would otherwise pay for.

How far ahead should we start?+

Three to six months for October to April travel. Good guides and the better Nile boats book up early, particularly over Christmas and New Year.

Can you handle mobility requirements?+

Yes, and it is one of the better reasons to go private. Some tombs involve steep steps and uneven floors, and a route can be built to avoid the worst of them.

Before you travel

What you can hold us to

No middlemen taking a cut

You are quoted by the local company that runs the trip. No booking fee and no surcharge at the airport.

A licensed Egyptologist, every site

Not a tour escort with a flag. Our partner uses guides who have spent twenty years on the same temples.

We say when something is not worth it

Some tickets are. Some are a queue in the heat. We will tell you which before you pay for them.

Private unless it says group

Your guide, your driver, your pace. Group departures are labelled clearly on the card and the page.

Someone answers the phone

Our partner is in Egypt, in Egyptian hours, and you are put in touch with them directly rather than through a chain.

Change it before you commit

Every itinerary is a starting point. Add days, drop sites, reorder — nothing is fixed until you say so.

Plan this trip

Tell us your dates and we will price it

Who’s travelling?

Cabins on the Nile boats are sold in pairs and children are priced differently, so who is coming changes the quote more than you would expect.
