Tip for your tour guide. We recommend USD$50 per adult for the entire tour. Tipping your tour guide is an entirely personal gesture
Entrance Fees: USD$80-100pp, paid in local currency
Tipping Kitty: USD$40-50pp, 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

We had a wonderful time, our guide was amazing. Only thing the Felucca, it was an experience but with kids was quite a boring looooong afternoon. Maybe start the ride later with kids, it was Abit of a waist if an afternoon that could be used to tour something else. or add entertainment or a stop somewhere. Besides that awesome Tour, a dream come true.

Words fail to describe how amazing my experience in Egypt was. I feel honored and blessed to have had Dino as my guide throughout my journey. He is an incredible asset to On The Go Tours. We were so well prepared for every site and hotel. Dino kept us so well-informed. We always knew what to expect from the locals at each stop, and when and where breakfast was served each day. Not only is his knowledge and understanding of the historical sites deep and insightful, his sense of humor kept us amused. I really can't express how wonderful our trip was, mostly due to Dino, and On The Go. We never could have seen so much travelling alone. My 15 and 13 year old sons have incredible memories to last their lifetimes. I would also like to say that the trip notes are an invaluable resource. I recommend everyone read them at least twice. Personal safety was never an issue in Egypt. I hope to one day visit again, as I found the Egyptian people to be warm and wonderful!

I was wanting to let you know how wonderful our experience was when touring Egypt. Not only was the whole experience exceptional of seeing the Pyramids, and Temples, Valley of the Kings and everything else in the tour. From the very moment we landed we were greeted and very well looked after, all the way until boarding the plan again to return home. I would like to also commend Mahmoud Ramadan his professionalism on our tour. Also the hospitality and looking after us all. Mahmoud made us feel very welcome and made the experience for us as well as the children and very enjoyable one. An experience that we will all remember for ever.
