The trip of a lifetime with Travel joy! Can’t say this enough: AMAZING EXPERIENCE! My wife and I were in Cairo for 3 days with a few friends on the way to a wedding in Hurghada and we booked all our Cairo experiences with Travel Joy. They arranged for hotel/airport transfer, all tours and were incredible helpful. Absolutely made our trip incredible. Special shout out to Emily who was very patient and helpful helping me design our trip, Michael the best tour guide there can be (really funny too), and Kero who was a life saver. Could not ask for a more dedicated and committed group of professionals. We felt very safe and supported.

Excellent experience with Travel Joy Egypt Tour OMG! It couldn't be better! Our trip was only 3 days in Cairo and Luxor. Omar's team really knows what he is doing, they coordinated everything perfectly, guide in Spanish, transfers, Nile cruise, we really enjoyed the food, they took us to really good places. We didn't have to worry about anything just getting there. We really enjoyed our stay in Egypt, the guides are really good, they explain everything wonderfully in Spanish and took us to the places we were interested in! They took spectacular photos of us and always on the lookout for everything from picking us up at the airport to returning us there! If you want to live an experience without worries in this beautiful country, I really recommend them very much! Thank you for everything, I'm sure we'll be back with you!

Memorable multi-city tour of Egypt Our group of 13 had a memorable multi-city tour of Egypt thanks to Travel Joy and guide Mostafa. Over 6 months of planning ensured smooth sailing from start to finish. Comfortable transit aboard a spacious Toyota Coaster added enjoyment between destinations.We were delighted by most aspects of the 3-night deluxe Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, taking in iconic sights along the river. A road trip to Abu Simbel and Alexandria broadened cultural horizons outside Cairo as well.Our dedicated guide Mostafa and his cheerful team, including Omar and Kiro, anticipated every need with excellent hospitality. Relying on their local expertise enhanced appreciation for Egypt's rich history.While optional excursions hold value exploring off-itinerary, do thorough research beforehand. Knowing typical pricing prevents potential mismatches in expectations. When time permits, leisurely browsing artisan workshops and perfumeries can also prove rewarding after confirmed interest and minor negotiation.Overall, Travel Joy Egypt delivered wonderful memories through meticulous coordination. I'm grateful for their passion in sharing this magnificent land and cultures with visitors from around the world.
