A private Egypt tour means the itinerary, the pace, and the vehicle belong to your group alone.
Every one of our Egypt tours is private by default: no joining a coach of strangers, no fixed departure dates chosen by someone else, no waiting on a group to finish shopping before you can move on to the next site. You choose the dates, we build the itinerary around your interests and pace, and a private guide and vehicle are yours for the length of the trip.
What Makes a Tour Private
“Private” is sometimes used loosely in travel marketing. For us it has a specific meaning: your group is the only group on the vehicle, the guide is working exclusively with you for that day, and the schedule can be changed on request, whether that means an extra hour at a site you love or skipping one that does not interest you.
Choose Your Private Egypt Tour
Whatever length of trip you have in mind, there is a private itinerary to match it. Essence of Egypt covers the classic route through Cairo and Luxor in twelve days, while Egypt in Depth extends to fifteen days for travelers who want more time at each site. If the Nile itself is the draw, our Dahabeya Nile Cruise puts you on a small private boat rather than a large cruise ship. All three run exclusively for your group, with a private Egyptologist guide throughout.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a private tour much more expensive than a group tour?
It costs more than a seat on a scheduled group departure, but less than most people expect, since you are not paying a middleman’s markup on a packaged tour. You get a dedicated guide and vehicle, and full control over the schedule, for a price that is usually closer to a mid-range group tour than a luxury one.
Can I customize the itinerary after booking?
Yes, within reason. Because you are not sharing the vehicle or guide with anyone else, requests like adding a site, extending time somewhere, or adjusting the pace can usually be accommodated even mid-trip. Larger changes, like adding an extra day, are easiest to arrange before you travel.
