Good to know.
What are the rates for different group sizes?
This tour is private. Rates start at $85 per person for 2 guests. Solo travelers pay $136 for dedicated transport and guiding, while parties of 3–5 pay $70 per person, and 6+ guests pay $59 per person.
Are monument entrance tickets and meals included automatically?
The published itinerary describes the route and sightseeing sequence rather than a fixed ticket bundle. Your personal quotation clearly itemizes which entrance fees, local boat crossings, meals, and transport segments are included so there are no surprises on the day.
Which Cairo museum or monument selection does this itinerary follow?
We follow the specific monuments named in the itinerary—preserving whether the route visits Egyptian Museum in Tahrir—and can adjust the balance of stops in your quotation if you request a different museum focus.
Can pickup times and pacing be adjusted for our group?
Yes. Because ground touring and transfers are arranged privately for your party, start times, rest stops, and time spent at individual landmarks can be adapted around your hotel location, flight or port schedule, and walking pace.
Where will we be picked up?
Your Cairo hotel or an agreed meeting point. Your exact meeting details are agreed before travel.
How is my booking confirmed?
Send an enquiry first. We review availability and provide a written quotation with the itinerary, services, price and booking conditions. Sending the form does not reserve a service.
