I went with ODYNOVO on a 10 night private tour guided trip of Egypt. 4 nights on board the Sonesta ST. George river boat, amazing staff shout out to Mina the barman, excellent food and fantastic trip. We went from Luxor to ASwan visiting all the temples and valleys of the kings and Queens. A once in a life time trip. Our guide for this part of the trip was Mohammad Saeed, a great guide, full of knowledge. We went to Cairo for 4 nights and stayed in the kimpinski nile hotel, beautiful 5* hotel. Our guide in Cairo was Mostafa Salah, a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable, took us everywhere . I highly recommend this trip

We took an 7-night tour of Cairo, Aswan & Luxor that included a Nile river cruise. Our tour planner Leila was not only helpful prior to purchasing, but also remained nicely attentive during our tour to ensure everything was as we wished. For the Cairo portion we had the jolly Mohammed Atteya who was an excellent guide of Egyptology & the city, steering us knowledgeably through the various attractions (including which ones to skip). Together with his driver Samir we felt safe & in the best of hands at all times. The Southern part of our journey was conducted by a different tour guide Ahmed Sedik. Ahmed’s style was more formal, but equally competent and he provided us a wealth of information along the various Nile stops & mini-tours. The sites during our trip in March 2022 did not seem overcrowded, but even so we really appreciated the ‘private’ nature of the tour, by not having to wait for group activities and being allowed to take all the time we wanted at any stop. As things get busier in the country, this service will become even more valuable. Both tour guides were also terrific photographers, enabling us to have great photo memories from our trip. I must also mention Mr. Yasser Samiee who met us each time at Cairo airport and swiftly took us through the process/bureaucracy, which was a very nice touch. We are very fortunate to be able to travel to many places in the world regularly, but shall not hesitate to recommend this tour company (Odynovo and their personnel) to friends, colleagues & family to help plan their trips to the splendor that awaits at Egypt’s historical sites – bravo!

As a world traveler I had waited many years to adventure to Egypt. I wanted to make sure I got a great tour guide for Cairo and surrounding areas. I was very fortunate to find Moh!!!! His English is very strong which is critical to ensure maximum benefit of each tour. He was extremely knowledgeable in all the places we visited…. The pyramids, sphinx, Egyptian civilization museum, Saqqara, Memphis, Old Cairo city tour/bazaar to name some of them. I highly recommend anyone who wants deep understanding of the historical context for each site we visited to obtain Moh as your specialty guide!

We had a great time on the cruise and with our tour guide Rockey. He sailing with us from Luxor to Aswan 4 nights. He was very knowledgeable, kind,. He communicated the plan to us and made sure we were comfortable with our tours and itinerary. He always gave us great tips for each of the places we visited. He was so patient never rushed. Rockey also arranged a covid test for us which was very convenient. The test was taken in the cruise ship and we didn’t have to go to the hospital. We highly recommend Explore Plus Holidays with our guide Rockey.

We had the best tour guide ever! (Mo Sobhi). He was amazing. Very upbeat, knowledgeable and welcoming. He made me and my husband so happy and safe were well taken care of during the tour. He was so patient even when we were taking much longer than expected at the monuments. Best parts of this tour was Karnak temple and Abu Simbel, honestly 1. The pyramids/camel ride. We fly to ship was amazing and clean, they – mean explore plus – chose new ship sailing from Luxor to Aswan, very polite staff.

The narration of the historical facts by Mr Mohammed, our tour guide made our trip to Aswan and Luxor informative and enjoyable. He took personal care of not only the sight seeing but also our stay and other arrangements.

I went with my 85 year old dad, who’d always dreamed of visiting Egypt. The whole experience was incredible, had no idea you could cram so much into such a short space of time. We even saw a lot more than we were expecting! Every part of the trip was planned meticulously and attention to detail was 2nd to none, from being greeted at the airport, help through customs, money exchange and even SIM card, to looking after us every step of the way. Our guide Refaye, was very knowledgeable and very helpful. He made sure we were at the right place at the right time, without being pushy. He was also very patient when a problem arose and made sure it was all smoothed out. The transportation was very good and the food on the cruise was varied and delicious, even well catered for me (vegan) Obviously the sites were the highlight, but the help from Refaye meant it was all easy going and he kept the many hawkers away from us. This was definately a holiday of a lifetime, and Explore plus holidays made it a trip we’ll never forget. And fantastic value for money. I have already recommended this trip to my friends I hope all the people who looked after us are well and copying through this awful time.
