Kimkim Trip Reviews for Egypt

We booked this trip with Amr over a year ago and "paid in full." However we postponed it when war broke out in the Middle East. When it appeared the war would not spread further we rebooked, and Amr asked for and got more money. The "final" itinerary did not reflect what we actually did in Egypt. We visited the pyramids of Giza early in the trip and did not do the dinner cruise. Later our local guide thought we were still going back to the pyramids of Giza. We wanted to see the new Grand Museum of Egypt instead of repeating the pyramids. Getting this straightened out took more time and effort than it should have. We had to agree to pay the museum tickets in advance while we still have not been reimbursed for the dinner cruise that we didn't take or the second set of pyramid tickets we didn't use. Probably the most memorable thing we did on the trip was the hot air balloon ride in Luxor over the Valley of the Kings. This was something we arranged through the local guide Waleed and paid additional fees. Waleed was helpful and accommodating. Our first local guide, Mona was quite good. Knowledgeable, pleasant and helpful. Local guide Ahmed was outstanding. His knowledge of ancient Egypt was truly impressive. He was helpful and pleasant to be around. We thoroughly enjoyed his company. All the drivers were very good at their jobs which is saying alot given the crazy habits of Egyptian drivers.

Altogether it was a very positive experience.
Nader was most helpful with arrangements to fulfill our expectations and desires
Our Cairo guide Mohamed Sharawi was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic in sharing information we received eagerly.
As the other guide, also named Mohamed ( Luxorto Aswan), he was usually well enough informed but not all the time.
Drivers were well trained and we felt secure.
Housing accomodations were outstanding .
The boat ( dahabyia) was very pleasant and the staff most amiable.
The cruise was very relaxing and pleasant.
It would be hard to point out one single moment or sight since everyone had it's features even though I admit that Karnak was most impressive.
Egyptian people were welcoming and friendly.
Food was good specially fruits and vegetables that were fresh and very tasty
We were very satisfied with this first experience with KimKim .

Nader was a fine vis-a-vis during all our interactions. He very well seized what we wanted and his quick response time was very appreciated!
There are maybe 3 points that I wld underline:
1. It seemed that there were a lack of synchronization between what we had as an itinerary and Mohamed's ( the 2nd guide). For instance the Esna temple was on our list but not on his. Plus lack of clarity as to when we' d board the ship.
2. Our complete flight schedule was sent more than once to Nader but there still was some confusion on his oart as to when we'd leave Egypt.
3. Tips: that was the major kerfuffle, and quite embarrassing for us. The second Mohamed mentioned to us that Nader was underestimating the amount per activity, especially guiding. Nader told us that 8$/day was ok, but the guide showed us that he was promised 15$. That's almost double the original amount. We readjusted our finance accordingly but found that pretty disconcerting. Being perceived as cheap wasn't on our list wish!! We just hope that this won't be our reputation among your staff and contractors..

The visit to the Dendara and Abydos temples was incredible and worth the long, rough journey. Abydos particularly left us flabbergasted with its antiquity and historical significance. It's one of the older ones, dating back millennia, and witnessing it was an awe-inspiring experience.

Thank you the KIMKIM company for connecting us with local Egypt from Egypt Promotion. entire team was fabulous including guides, driver and other team members. our trip was planned and executed with precision by local team, congratulations. from our arrival at the airport on day one till we left on day ten we were superbly attended. we want to show our sincere gratitude to: 1. Mr Hasham (our guide: First of all, he is wonderful person, very caring, extremely organized. Our 3 daughters loved him. He is very knowledgeable about everything Egypt. One of the best things we loved about him was his punctuality, gentle mannerisms, and sense of humor. He made our trip memorable. 2. Mr Mahmoud: he was our go to all person from airports to hotels, and in between. In short, superb team. We highly recommend them without reservations.
One of the best parts of the trip was The Nile Cruise with Dahabiya, amazing. Thank you all from bottoms of our hearts for an unforgettable experience.

I am a single man 60+ .
I traveled by myself for seven days and even though I am well traveled, I was slightly nervous about visiting Egypt as an American.
From the moment I arrived at Cairo airport until I
was dropped off for the return flight I was very well taken care of by the KimKim team
Each guide was a trained Egyptologist with extensive knowledge of history of the country
and the sites , the drivers were unfailingly
polite and they worked together as great teams.

excellent helpful drivers

Initially there was poor communication regarding additional tours requested by us but they were sorted out via Aya just before we checked in for our flight from Addis Ababa. It lead to Mohamed waiting for us on arrival while we took personally arranged transport to our hotel for the firts night. We have assumed (maybe wrongly) that the first night stay was not included in our trip cost.
I'm a bit unsure regarding the "local specialist" as the Tour Guide who collected us from the Novotel Cairo Airport hotel and took me took the market on the first day was diappointing as he was not providing any guidance/information regarding landmarks as we drove to the market and/or around the market itself at all.
All our other guides were exellent. As they were all named Mohamed in one form or another I would rather refer to the location. The guide for Luxor was the best of all followed by the one in Cairo and lastly the one in Aswan.

The room itself and service was good. However, the sound proofing of the door to the room was very poor which resulted in noisy nextdoor guests, who were coming and going all night, kept us awake and spoiled our stay. We were tired and could not enjoy our visit to Egypt (Aswan) the following day.

Exellent . The best guide of our trip to Egypt. Extremely knowledgible and professional. Respected the privacy of his guests and did not make frivalous talk about private matters. Learnt a lot from him.

If you're dreaming of exploring the wonders of Egypt, look no further than Sun Pyramid Tours! My family and I recently embarked on a 10-day private tour that spanned Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, and Alexandria, and I can confidently say it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

From the very start, Habiba was an absolute star. She listened to our preferences and crafted a personalized itinerary that aligned perfectly with our schedule and must-visit list. Giza Pyramids? Check. The iconic Sphinx? Absolutely. Karnak and Horus Temples? Of course. And let’s not forget the awe-inspiring Valley of the Kings and Abu Simbel Temple. Habiba’s attention to detail made the planning process seamless and stress-free.

Fantastic Guides: Sam and Ahmad, The History Whisperers
Our adventure was brought to life by two incredible guides, Mr. Sam and Mr. Ahmad. These knowledgeable Egyptologists didn’t just recite facts—they told captivating stories that kept us enthralled. Their passion for Egyptian history was infectious, and they had a unique way of making the ancient world feel alive. Even my kids, who usually shy away from history, were hanging on every word!

The Nile Cruise: A Journey Through Time
One of the highlights of our trip was the Nile cruise. Gliding along the historic river where civilization began was an experience beyond words. From the breathtaking sunsets to the gentle rhythm of the water, it was pure magic and a memory we’ll treasure forever.

Tips for Future Travelers
Before heading to Egypt, do your homework! Knowing what you want to see and do will help the tour agency customize the perfect trip for you. Flexibility and communication go a long way in maximizing your experience.

Highly Recommended
If you’re planning a trip to Egypt, I wholeheartedly recommend Sun Pyramid Tours. Ask for Habiba to design your itinerary and insist on Sam and Ahmad as your guides. Their expertise, kindness, and attention to detail made our journey unforgettable.

Thank you, Sun Pyramid Tours, for an incredible adventure. Egypt is truly a land of wonders, and your team made it even more special. 😊

Habiba was super. She was on top of everything and anticipated any problems that might arise. She helped us deal with minor glitches and was available and helpful. The tour guides were great and we had an amazing trip. Thank you!

EGYPT Trip
Our cordinator was Mohamed. He helped us create and modify the trip itinerary.
Our trip to Egypt was 8 days. Spent 3 days in Cairo, 1 day in Alexandria and 3 days on the Aswan - Luxor cruise.
Our guides were great. Very informed and took us around without any delays and all the sites visited as per schedule.

The service was punctual and we were well informed f the timings and contact person. Vehicles used for our tours were up to great standard.

Overall very enjoyable trip.
Thanks Sun Pyramids Tours!

This was a dream-come-true. Very impressed with the talented, well-informed guides(Mrs. Walaa Farah, Mohab Ahmed, Mohammed) who accompanied us every day and brought history to life. The Nile river cruise was very, very relaxing. Thank you Kimkim.

Both Yusefs on our final day with the tour and drop off at airport were equally amazing! All these men were wonderful, accommodating, smart, and had great personalities - they really made our trip to Egypt special!
Our trip on the Nile was amazing and our guide was very knowledgeable! However, , he lacked a fun and outgoing personality, He only spoke when he was informing us about the sites. This was a let down after our Cairo guides!

Mohammed, our trip manager was amazing and easy to work with. His recommendations were great! We loved all our accommodations and transportation ran very smoothly for us!
I would definitely recommend KimKim and Mohammed to help plan an amazing trip to Egypt!

Bedouin Safari and Star Gazing Tour

Sharm el-Sheikh

The Bedouin safari did not meet expectations. It wasn’t quite as advertised, and several aspects of the tour were lacking. The majority of the tour was an ATV ride, so if you choose to do this, be sure to bring a scarf or wear something you don’t mind getting dusty. The camel ride was only about 5 minutes long, just a quick trip towards the mountain and back, and the person taking photos for you will ask for a tip even though the pictures weren’t particularly great. The stargazing was pretty interesting, the astronomer discussed a few of the constellations and pointed out a few planets that we then used the telescope to look at - Saturn was the best. The dinner was as expected, but the show felt more like a random collection of acts. After the dinner and the show, you then drive the ATV back to where you started. Most importantly, it definitely didn't offer that romantic "under the stars, tent" Arabian night feeling we were hoping for. While you can still appreciate the experience for what it is, it didn’t quite live up to the magical atmosphere we envisioned. Overall, I would suggest managing expectations for the Bedouin safari.

Our trip to Egypt and Jordan with KimKim was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly well taken care of. Thanks to their detailed arrangements, navigating airports was seamless. Having our own driver and guide throughout the trip allowed us to customize our itinerary on the go, ensuring we could spend more or less time at sites based on our interests. This flexibility, combined with the warm welcome from every guide, driver, and hotel staff member we met, made the journey unforgettable.

The highlights were many. Our guides in both countries were knowledgeable and accommodating and went above and beyond to make us feel special. In Jordan, our guide Ramzi surprised us with thoughtful gestures, including a beautiful, warm Jordanian coat, when he noticed I was unprepared for the cold mornings. He also gifted us traditional headscarves and showed us how to wear them, making us feel connected to Jordanian culture. Additionally, KimKim’s efforts to celebrate my mom's birthday throughout the trip were extraordinary. From cakes and traditional songs to stunning gifts, they ensured her day felt truly special.

One of the standout benefits of booking with KimKim is the convenience. While their packages are undoubtedly pricey, the hands-off planning and seamless execution make it well worth the investment. Every detail was handled for us, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy our trip without stress.

Some locations were unforgettable must-sees. The Valley of the Kings in Egypt stood out for its breathtaking grandeur and rich history—it’s an experience unlike any other. In Jordan, Wadi Rum was an absolute highlight. The surreal desert landscape, with its towering sandstone mountains and expansive red sands, was mesmerizing. Watching the sunrise and sunset in Wadi Rum felt like stepping into another world—a memory we’ll cherish forever.

That said, there were a few areas for improvement.

As a group of three (my parents and me), accommodations were not consistently handled. At times, I slept on a cot in the same room as my parents, while other nights, I had my own room. Given we chose a premium package, it felt like an oversight not to have my own room throughout the trip. Additionally, the cabin booked for us on the Nile cruise was too small for three people. We spent more time in the cabin than expected during the cruise, and without my mom's intervention to upgrade, it could have made for an uncomfortable experience.

The trip to Abu Simbel was another point of contention. After visiting many incredible temples (Luxor, Horus, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Karnak, and the Valley of the Kings), the 4 a.m. wake-up and six hours of driving for a temple that felt similar to others wasn’t worthwhile for us. The effort and time spent in transit far outweighed the experience, and we wish this had been explained better during planning so we could have opted out.

Tipping in Egypt was also challenging. While we understand the cultural norm, managing small tips for drivers, airport assistants, and bag carriers felt like a constant task. It would have been far more convenient if these smaller tips were included in the package price and handled by our guide. We were happy to manage tips for our primary guides, as it felt more personal, but the smaller tips became a source of stress.

Despite these critiques, KimKim truly excelled in making the experience unforgettable. Their ability to deliver a highly personalized, seamless, and expertly managed trip is unmatched. From thoughtful surprises to the ease of having everything arranged, KimKim allowed us to immerse ourselves fully in the beauty and culture of Egypt and Jordan. Between exploring the ancient wonders of the Valley of the Kings and the stunning, otherworldly landscapes of Wadi Rum, we created memories that will last a lifetime. For anyone looking for a stress-free, curated, and enriching travel experience, KimKim is absolutely worth it. We’ll treasure this trip forever.

We had an amazing trip to Cairo, Luxor and Alexandria. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and Mariam the Cairo guide was very caring and generous. We just loved her. I recommend this tour and specially working with Habiba and the people who made this trip a fantastic journey.

Sofitel Cairo Nile El Gezirah

This was a hotel that we stayed at 2 separate nights to include a desert tour. The first night was not good. The check-in took 45 mins and our room was tiny and low and a bit dated. We could not get into the hotel lounge and barely got to our room for the sunset, only to find the tiny balcony was locked. While I understand the safety concerns, they should have the bell hop take care of this at time of arrival rather than having us call ( and wait) for separate help, On our second night, we ordered room service and it never came! it turned out they had been knocking repeatedly on another door and blamed us for not answering! When we asked for the order to be resent- they did it again! On our second night, I Sun Pyramids asked them to upgrade us to a better room for our trouble. The suite was great, as was the view of the Nile. Throughout, however, this was the only place we felt like a bother and did not experience the friendliness and service that was excellent throughout the rest of Egypt. The exception was the pool area. They were very nice.

Day tour to visit Pyramids& Sphinx and Old Egyptian Museum

Cairo

The day tour to visit the Pyramids and Sphinx and the Old Egyptian Museum was great overall. We started in the morning, but had the option to begin earlier. The place gets very busy quickly, and starting earlier would have made the experience better. Despite the crowds, we had an amazing time, and the activity was well-organized.

Visit Abu Simbel temple and Kom Ombo temple

Aswan

Our visit to the Abu Simbel and Kom Ombo temples was absolutely brilliant. Originally planned to take the bus, we decided to change to a flight at the last minute, and the team handled it seamlessly. Everything was reorganized without any issues, with new guides greeting us, making the experience at Abu Simbel a dream come true. This flexibility and perfect execution made this part of the trip truly outstanding.

Visit Edfu temple & Luxor temple and Karnak temple

Egypt

The trip to Edfu, Luxor, and Karnak temples was very nice. Though Karnak was busy by the afternoon, the size of the temple complex made it manageable. Although the crowding wasn't a major issue at Luxor and Karnak, we would have preferred smaller crowds for better photos, but by the time we reached Luxor, the setting sun created a very atmospheric experience, which our guide also appreciated for its perfect timing.

We had a great experience with Kim Kim travels for our 9 day trip to Egypt and Jordan. As mentioned by Amr that we don't have to worry about anything regarding our trip, it was a true statement. Our stay and trip to each location was taken care off and we enjoyed it very well.
We were received by Mr. Mohammed (Samara) on the day of the arrival and till we left Egypt he took care of us. Hospitality was good and didn't feel that we are in a different country. The driver Mr. Mohammed took us to all the places in Egypt. Our tour guide in Cairo Dr. Karam Sharaf took us to the Cairo Museum and to the Pyramids and gave an excellent narration about the History of Egyptian Civilization and the process of mummification.
The Nile cruise was good and enjoyed the visit to Abu Simbel and Kom Ombo Temple. Our guide Mohamed Kamal an Egyptologist explained about the Egyptian Civilization and gave an excellent narration of the importance of all the places he took us. One could feel the depth of knowledge he had about history of all the places he took us. Great person and I will without hesitate recommend him for those who want s to know about the history of the temples in Egypt.
Samara send us off from Cairo to Amman and we had a great experience in staying at Wadi Rum and visiting Petra. Our Driver Mr. Mohamad stayed with us for our entire stay at Amman. He was a great person. Our tour guide at Petra Mr. Mahmood Alfageer took us to the Petra treasury and explained the significance of the treasury on 2 mile trial from the visitor gate. Both Egyptian and Jordan people are very hospitable.
I will strongly recommend Kim Kim travels if you are planning a trip to Egypt and Amman. Enclosed few pictures of our visit.

We had aa wonderful trip to Egypt! From the moment we arrived to the time we left, we were in very good hands. The local team took very good care of us in each city. Our accommodations were great, including the Nile cruise. Two things I would do differently: I would make the journey when the temperature are A LOT cooler! We would have enjoyed seeing all of the temples and the pyramids more if we were sweating. :) And I would likely not do just a day trip to Alexandria. It was a 6+ hour round trip ride just to see a couple of things and not even go "into" anything. But overall, we were very pleased with the itinerary!

We booked our holiday to Egypt through KimKim Travels. Our contact was Mohamed Nabil. He provided excellent advice and support in the booking of our trip and was also kind enough to help when we made amendments to our schedule and wishes. He was always prompt, helpful, friendly and professional in his interactions and communication. Without him, our trip would not have been as enjoyable and smooth. 5 Star Servicr. Sincere and heartfelt thanks.
