Using Egyptian Tour Agency
Can you get a better deal on your dream vacation
if you work with a tour agency located in Egypt? The answer is "probably".
The competition among tour agencies in Egypt does much to keep
prices down, and you might find that by booking your tour directly
with an Egyptian agency via email and telephone it will be less
expensive than going down to your local XYZ Tours and letting them
do it.
Like any tour agents, Egyptian Tour Agencies in Egypt can give
you a pre-planned itinerary--but their great advantage is that they
can plan a tour to your exact specifications. It is difficult to
get a custom tour of Egypt from the XYZ tour agency down at the
mall.
When we went to Egypt in 2007 I sent a list of all the sites I
wanted to see to Holiday Tours in Cairo. I had worked with them
before and knew them to be honest and competent. They worked out
the logistics of a car, driver, hotel and English Speaking Guide
in all the locations that I specified. And the tour was fabulous.
see Egypt Diary 2007
for the itinerary.
Once they had worked out a workable itineary/schedule, we booked
directly with the Holiday Tours agency in Egypt
and sent the money via a bank transfer. We recommend Holiday Tours
highly, and encourage you to use them, but you can do some research
on other agencies in Egypt as well.
