There are many travel Agencies in Egypt and our advice to all travelers to be very careful when they are planning a trip to Egypt and search about the name and the reputation of these tour operators who might even be just one person not an association so we kindly give bellow 10 facts that might tell truly how you can find out if you are contacting with a good operator or not :
1) A good and honest tour operator in Egypt who gives a very clear tour program not just hidden and tricky words.
2) Please look at the included and the not included items in the proposal itinerary carefully before you start the deal.
3) Just Search the name of the company and all these travel forums from many travelers who will never lie about these agent.
4) You can ask them for a travel reference (Travelers used their service before) and we do advise to contact these travelers then you will know whom you are dealing with.
5) Ask these operators about their Ministry of Tourism License Number and a copy of this license because ( All legal tour operators in Egypt should have the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism License in order to do legal tours allover Egypt) .
6) If the Tour Operator does not have Ministry of Tourism License then you can report them to Egyptian Tourism Police and this is to avoid other travelers to come in the trap because we really believe that people’s vacation is just like any other products that can’t be played with.
7) Our advise to deal with the local tour operators located in Egypt not with the operators outside of Egypt as this always makes some mistakes in your tour and you won’t know who is responsible of this mistake, those who sold you the tour or those who are handling you the trip in Egypt.
8) Another idea of tour operators outside of Egypt are always offering higher rates and you could accept these expensive rates just because you believe that they are located in the same country you live so you get this feeling ( if any mistake happened you can get your money back!! ) Which is not true and if it’s even true! You will take a long time and effort from your side to get it back and this later will make you give up your money and even if you got the full refund you have already lost your dream of touring Egypt.
9) Don’t think when the Tour Agent go down with the price that is good for you and be sure that they will eliminate some items in your itinerary that you will later pay for when you are in here Egypt and they are definitely cheating up with you to start the deal.
10) Finally we are always saying that few more dollars can make your trip a sweet dream and few less can make it a nightmare.
