Entrance Fees: USD$210-230pp, paid in local currency
Tipping Kitty: USD$100-120pp, paid in local currency
Tipping is not a natural part of many Western cultures and many of us feel uncomfortable, or unsure, about when, or how much, to tip. However, in the places you will visit, tipping makes up a significant part of many people's wages so it's important that we get it right. For this reason we've developed a very simple system to take all the hassle out of tipping. With our 'tipping made easy' policy, a nominal pre-determined amount is collected from all group tour participants to cover tips en route. This then saves you the hassle of when and how much to tip bellhops, luggage handlers, local guides and other support staff through the tour. Our 'tipping made easy' doesn't include a tip to your group tour leader. Naturally, though, the amount is up to you as tipping is an entirely personal gesture.

Tour Reviews

Great trip. Only suggestion would be to drop the overnight train ride. Train in horrible condition. Also, change the Dead Sea resort (Holiday Inn). Food and service was poor.

The whole tour was excellent, and Medo, Aamer, and Gheadan were exceptional guides. I do think we only needed one night on a sleeper train and not two; those trains were dirty and gross. I especially loved Sonesta St. George in Luxor and Holiday Inn Dead Sea, and I really am thankful Danielle told me about the Nile Cruise, which was fabulous (when I booked this tour). I would have been miserable on a felucca. Also, more accurate information about expectations of attire and money would have been good. I could have used my American dollars almost everywhere, and the people wanted the dollars and not their currency, and my outfits didn’t have to be as conservative as the information stated. I have been advertising this tour to everyone and think all people would benefit from taking this amazing, well-organized, safe, totally fun tour. Thanks so much to all people who work for and with On the Go Tours to make this tour so excellent.

Can't say enough about how great Momo is, I have already recommend your site, this trip & Momo to all my friends. I felt safe and taken care of every step of my trip. Momo made learning fun, I feel like I truly experienced Egypt. Momo definitely helped the group bond into a family and we will all be keeping in contact. Because of this great experience I'm already looking at booking my next trip with you!

To whom it May Concern, We already gave written feedback on our tour guide, but I wanted to make an extra effort to ensure that our feedback went back to head office. Momo was fantastic. The King Tut tour to Egypt was our fourth overseas visit in 2014, and it really was the best experience and this was largely due to Momo. His knowledge was brilliant, not just recited facts like on other tours. He had such a vibrant personality, great sense of humour, and really went out of his way to accommodate the people in our group. He is definitely an asset to OTG Tours.
