First tour that we have ever done. On the go tours really kept us ‘on the go’. We loved Egypt and the the tour. There is so much to see, learn and experience. The unplugged tour gave a good snapshot. Yasser our guide was extremely knowledgeable about Egyptology and was very informative.

Egypt was incredibly brilliant, lived up to the hype but in a way that was surprising. What I mean is that using the pyramids and king tut as the main selling points for Egypt is a massive undersell, so many more sites far more glorious such as Karnak temple and valley of the kings for example. Medo was an extraordinary guide who was incredibly passionate about Egypt and its history, displaying abundant knowledge on this ancient civilization as well as being very resourceful with our time and how to use it. I have strongly recommended Egypt to everyone I know back home in Adelaide, Australia.

Our Tour Guide Medo was absolutely amazing he looked after us the whole trip, his knowledge of the country is outstanding. Every one involved with the tour were amazing they were all friendly and helpful right from the moment we landed we were looked after and on our departure..Thank you Medo and On The Go Tours for an amazing trip .

Medo was the most passionate guide I have ever had. He was patient and accommodating-funny and very engaging. He was so incredibly knowledgeable about Egypt and how he rattled off facts-figures-dates is beyond me. He was the best and he made the trip for me! My only complaint was the overnight train from Cairo to Luxor.

The whole tour was not only adventuresome but also well catered, well organised and done in comfort. Our guide Helal couldn't have been more helpful or polite. His knowledge on egyptology was fantastic. He went out of his way to make us and particularly the children feel at ease and special. He is truly a kind and respectful man and a great ambassador for both On The Go Tours and for his country of Egypt. Thanks very much Helal

The tour was fantastic! I could never imagine anyone coming to Egypt and touring solo as opposed to doing it with a tour group. Our tour guide was Ahmed Helal, We was extremely well versed in English and had extensive knowledge on everything Egypt related.

Go Go Go Amazing - Go Go Go is the Mantra! Medo is an excellent tour guide and really went above and beyond for our group! Top notch guy and so passionate about his country and the history of Egypt. This tour could easily be a university class in Ancient Egyptian History. Loved our group and it was a fabulous tour! Arrival/Departure in Cairo - Outstanding service upon arrival at Cairo Airport. We were ushered through customs/immigration at a very quick pace and had a private driver take us to the Holiday Inn. Most thankful for this service as we had culture shock upon landing. Also our departure shuttle and assistance at the airport was also very helpful Drivers: Super grateful to have special drivers throughout the trip in the chaotic traffic chaos especially in Cairo! We had a fabulous trip! Thanks so much Medo!

Firstly I would just like to say that both myself and my partner had quite possibly the best holiday of our lives within your tour. It was extremely well run with a good pace and great knowledge from the guides. I would highly recommend this tour.

When we booked this tour back in February we really weren’t sure what we were signing up for. The tour blurb sounded too good to be true, particularly for the money we paid. We thought it was cool that our tour guide was an Egyptologist but we didn’t set our expectations too high. So of course we were blown away when we met Medo. We chose to do the day tour to Alexandria and although there were only two of us, Medo’s energy was unwavering and his passion for his country was incredible. We instantly knew that the next 2 weeks would be amazing. The next day we did the back streets of Cairo tour and then started the Egypt Unplugged tour the following day. Medo taught us so much about Egypt’s ancient and modern history, more than I could have learnt in any history class. He took us to the best local restaurants and his recommendations for extra activities such as the snorkelling were always spot on. When the Hilton in Hurghada couldn’t figure out our bookings, Medo stood at the reception desk for 10 hours to make sure our group was taken care of. I can wholeheartedly say that his enthusiasm, work ethic and his love for his country made my trip what it was. I have never felt safer overseas than I did in Egypt. Since returning home I have been telling anyone who will listen that this trip with On The Go is a must. I can’t wait to return and have my fingers crossed that I’m lucky enough to have Medo as my tour guide again next time. Can I give 6 stars?!

it was a nice tour from the airport they picked me up it was really smooth. The train ride was the only thing I didn't like and for me the stay in Hurghada was a little long. Our tour guide was amazing (Nader Nasar) very knowledgeable. Thank you for all the help my next tour will be Vietnam.
