A private tour in Egypt means your own Egyptologist guide, car and driver, with no strangers in your group. Private day tours start from about $45 per person, and private multi-day packages from $220. Every Egypt Day Tours experience is 100% private. No shared buses, no waiting for strangers, no compromise on your schedule. Just you, your group, and a dedicated expert Egyptologist guide who focuses entirely on making your trip unforgettable.
Travelling with a wheelchair or limited mobility? Our wheelchair accessible Egypt tours add lift-equipped vehicles, step-free routes and Egyptologist guides who plan every visit around your needs.
Egypt’s greatest sites, the Pyramids of Giza, Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel, deserve your full attention. On a private tour you set the pace, ask as many questions as you like, linger where you feel the magic, and skip what doesn’t interest you. Your guide adapts the entire day around your curiosity and energy, not a group itinerary.
Every private tour includes a licensed Egyptologist guide, private air-conditioned transport, and a local expert who has spent years studying the monuments you’re about to walk through. We handle every detail, hotel pickups, entrance tickets, seat reservations on trains or cruises, so you arrive relaxed and leave with memories, not logistics headaches.

Yes, every single tour we offer is 100% private. We do not mix your group with other travelers. Your guide, vehicle, and itinerary are dedicated entirely to you and your travel companions.
An Egyptologist guide holds a university degree in Egyptology or archaeology and a government-issued tourism license. They combine academic knowledge with years of on-site experience, so the history you hear is accurate, detailed, and brought to life with the kind of stories you will not find in any guidebook.
