Gus is amazing to work with. He had our trip planned out perfectly. We didn’t have to worry about anything. He gave us recommendations on restaurants, how much we should tip each person, and places to visit. From the time we got off the plane in Cairo until we got back on the plane heading home, everything was perfect! He had a representative meet us at the airport and helped us get checked into our hotel. Gus arranged an English speaking tour guide and driver everyday. They were very informative and helpful. Gus did the work in planning all the details, day trips, flights, and took all the headache out of planning a trip. Anytime we had a question we sent him a message him and he responded immediately. Gus made this a very enjoyable trip!

My husband and I knew we wanted to visit Egypt and that’s about all we knew before we contacted Egypt Adventures Travel. We started doing a bunch of online research and got completely overwhelmed. First we stumbled on the Egypt travel adventures YouTube channel and after watching a few videos we reached out for help. Gus was extremely helpful from the time we contacted him until we were back home in the United States. Gus answered all of the questions and concerns we had about Egypt as well as planned our entire trip starting with when we arrived. He made this such a stress free experience. He connected us with an awesome guide who spoke great English as well as created our itinerary so that we could fit in everything we wanted to see or do and also the best restaurants. Gus also checked in regularly and also continued to answer questions while we were on the trip. He also located a place for us to get our covid test and ensured the process was smooth for entering back into the United States. I seriously don’t know what we would have done without his help.

Gus from Egypt Adventures Travel created a customized travel itinerary for our trip to Cairo so that we would be able to see everything in a short period of time. Gus spoke with us via Zoom and email and WhatsApp and connected us with a local guide for our trip. Gus was very thorough with his planning and answered any questions we had about anything along the way. We had always dreamed about visiting Egypt and are so thankful to Gus for all of his help!

Gus from Egypt Adventures Travel was so helpful with our recent trip to Egypt. While planning our trip we came across his YouTube channel and found so much info everything was covered. Information on his website really came through. While we were preparing to leave Cairo we needed to get Covid-19 test with a very short turnaround. He provided a number using Whats-app of a team of medical personnel. They scheduled a time and came to our hotel and collected a sample and provided the results in less than 6 hours. Highly recommend Gus and Egypt Adventures Travel for anything to do with planning a trip to Egypt.

Gus at Egypt Travel Adventures was AMAZING with our travel questions to Egypt. I was so worried about making sure we had everything we needed done to get into the country and Gus really helped to ease those worries. His tips and knowledge were beneficial for our trip and we had an amazing time. I even got engaged at the pyramids!! Thank you Gus for all your help. Highly recommend.

We just completed a fantastic 10 day family trip to Egypt, thank you Gus for helping us put it together! Your service from initial contact to the many (many) itinerary revisions we asked for was outstanding. Your recommendation of tour guides was probably the single most important aspect. Ebram was outstanding and there is no way we could have found him without you. The service level we needed with the itinerary and recommendations was just perfect; we definitely received incredible value for the minimal cost. We will be recommending your service to any and everyone that plans to go visit Egypt. Thank you for all your help!!!

So grateful we found Gus' Egypt Adventures Travel site and YouTube channel. He and his resources were great supports for our recent trip to Egypt, especially during 'the age of COVID19 travel!' Very friendly, responsive, and highly professional. Thanks, Gus!

I found this company through an internet search and could not have been more pleased with the outcome. Gus was instrumental in planning a guided day for us in Cairo, selecting what sites we should visit (and why) and introducing us to a private, licensed tour guide who executed the plan perfectly and responsibly. Gus understands the questions that tourists have about how to dress, how much and when to tip, and especially where to go. His advice and expertise were a huge positive contribution to an unforgettable day, and he also made himself available to us during the rest of our trip in case we had questions. You won't be disappointed if you engage him!

Our additional tour of Egypt was made even better using Egypt Adventures Travel. Gus is an amazing guide and really understands Cairo . His command of Arabic had Egyptians crying because they were so happy to see an American speaking Arabic. I highly recommend Gus and his company. Jimmy Burnett

Gus was so so helpful when it came to giving me the proper information for getting into Egypt during Covid. He saved me from almost spending 250$ on a QR Covid test & recommended much better options. Also his free information/blogs have been really helpful since arriving in Egypt. Thanks Gus!!!!

Stumbling across Gus' YouTube channel was one of the happiest accidents I can remember. My boyfriend and I have wanted to go to Egypt, but like so many, we had no clue where to begin. Also, it was a little daunting and scary to think about given it's so far away and so different from any place we'd ever been. After reaching out to Gus and setting up a zoom call, we instantly started to see our pipe dream becoming a possibility, and not nearly as scary as we thought. Gus is absolutely amazing at what he does, assisting us in planning and arranging the trip of our lifetimes. But more importantly , he set every fear we had at ease. Not only is Gus knowledgeable about Egypt from his time living there (which he still basically does part time I think), he also makes himself available before and during your entire trip. This was such a comfort to us. One of the best services he offers to travelers bound for this amazing country is setting you up with one of his trusted tour guides on the ground ready to help you navigate a brand new culture and make memories that will last forever. Since I got home, EVERYONE I've spoken to says some version of "I want to go to Egypt but I'm kind of scared and have no idea where to even start," and if you're reading this, chances are you feel this way too. If so, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE contact Gus, and just see what happens. You NEED to visit this magnificent country at least once in your life, and I promise that Gus will help you get there.

Gus put together a great itinerary for our trip and connected us with an amazing tour guide. Our trip would not have been nearly as enjoyable without his help. I will be directing all friends and family to Egypt Adventures Travel!!!

Gus your the Best! My husband and I trip to Cairo and Giza was Amazing thanks to your help and assistance from tour guides to Covid Testing. Your such a resourceful and reliable travel guide. We enjoyed our Egypt Adventure well informed and equipped to explore. Thanks again!

Egypt Adventures Travel is the best web source for trip planning that I have found. The YouTube "walk through" videos are excellent, and really show you what you will experience... even how to cross a street against traffic! When I plan another trip, I'll definitely start by consulting with Gus.

I took the option of interest survey -- candid discussion -- itinerary recommendations -- three local guides recommendations. It worked perfectly for me and my college-age son's visit to Cairo in April 2022. Gus made some initial assumptions and recommendations, and we talked about some things that I didn't want or need. Gus listened and updated -- he also gave me good advice from his insider perspective. He recommended three local guides. I selected Noha Nabil, and she was great. We saw what we wanted to see, and re-visited Khan el Khalili a second time, and we didn't overstay anywhere -- she adapted to our comfort level. I have travelled a lot without a guide, but a guide seems essential in Cairo.

Amazing would be an understatement!! This was our first time to Egypt, and we needed advice on what to do, and where to stay to make the most of our visit. We contacted Gus with Egypt Adventures Travel, and he helped tailor an itinerary that matched our timeframe and budget. Our expectations were exceeded! He booked our Nile River Cruise for us, and visit to Abu Simbel. Everything was perfect and flawless. He contacted us throughout our journey to make sure things were going as planned, and made himself available for any questions or concerns we might have. He used his experience and connections in Egypt to give us an unforgettable experience! We recommend him to anyone who wants to experience this amazing place!

I recently traveled to Egypt and this was one of the main resources I used to plan the trip, like the restaurant GAD Akram, that you can see in the picture. I met Gus and he is a young professional with wide knowledge about the practical questions you need to plan the trip. Egypt is a great country to visit but requires extra preparation or a skilled guide. Gus can help you with both. Thank you Gus!

I was lucky enough to be a member of Gus’s inaugural guided tour in November, 2021. And I’m struggling to convey a sliver of what that experience was like. If you can imagine all the sense of adventure with none of the hassles that befall one when venturing out alone, that’s kinda what it’s like on an Egypt Adventure Travel tour. What Egypt holds as a destination is beyond overwhelming. Yet on this tour it felt like we experienced a nearly exhaustive overview, perfect for the first-time visitor. Although I always felt very well tended, I never felt like we were traveling in sort of a protected bubble. Rather, we were plunged into the thick of it, whether eating at a local restaurant, crawling into (very claustrophobic!) pyramids and crypts, or coursing through the mazes of nighttime markets. From day one the accumulation of indelible memories begins. Experience it!

Such an AMAZING experience! For our 6 day stay in Cairo, Gus created a very attainable itinerary with activities and restaurant recommendations that were suited towards our carefree preferences. He was extremely personable and was able to provide plenty of information, as we didn't go on this trip with him. But Gus put us in contact with the perfect guide who made our trip unforgettable! I can't express how happy we are that we chose Gus to plan our vacation, he was very affordable and worth every single cent! Thanks Gus!

Gus gave the most brilliant advice and took great care of us in setting up our memorable trip to Egypt. It’s the first time I’ve used a tour agency to create a tourism itinerary for my holiday - and it was a great move. It was so helpful and stress-free to have Gus indicate where we should go, what we should see, where we should eat. I can’t recommend it highly enough. And great to get some LGBTQ friendly travel advice too.

Randon Burns

We didn't actually go on Gus's tour as we were traveling from London but we were inspired to go on our own tour by Gus' YouTube videos which I highly recommend you check out - he explains lots of really practical things like crossing the street in Cairo and taking the bus etc. And then we actually bumped into him in the Valley of the Kings when we were there and had the chance to say hi and thank you. Thank you Gus.

Gus at Egypt Adventures Travel is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about everything Egypt! I had a great consultation with him about options for learning Arabic. He was on time, well-prepared, and did a great job of following up with lots of detailed information that was extremely useful! For anything Egypt-related, you can trust that Gus will be super helpful. Highly recommend!

Mark Ward

Visited Egypt and used Gus as a tour guide in Cairo for a couple of days before joining a different tour. I traveled with a group of friends and has some specific requests. We wanted to see some of the local shops, try some of the local food and see the "nightlife". Gus had it all set up and was very organized and efficient. His set-up and communications about the trip were well done and easy to follow. We had to change a few things on the fly and he handled it perfectly. He is very professional, knowledgable and flexible. He speaks fluent Arabic! Which is a real plus! I would highly recommend Gus and his company.

Amanda Kelly

Gus knows Egypt inside and out. He is your travel expert when it comes to planning Egypt. I highly recommend you connect for even a consult or to inquire about his next personalized travel adventure!

Gus was so helpful in helping me plan my photo adventure in Egypt. He helped me prepare with planning and also super helpful with knowing all the covid regulations and how to ensure smooth sailing. Awesome planner, very knowledgeable and super nice guy!!

If it’s your first time traveling to Egypt, you’re 100% going to need a guide and/or someone to at least help craft an itinerary that gets the most out of your time there. Well, look no further than Egypt Adventure Travel. My wife and I wanted to spend 5 nights in Egypt as the cherry on top of our 3 week honeymoon in different parts of Africa, seeing all the major sights of Cairo and Alexandria. Other people we spoke with said this would be too tough with such a limited amount of time. Gus took my request and in less than 48 hours came up with an itinerary that included everything we wanted to see/do in the most efficient order possible, and also included reccomendations to the best restaurants (get the rice muammar with pigeon at Abou El Sid *chefs kiss*) and other tips like how to most conveniently get your covid test done to re-enter the United States. Our only regret was that we didn’t just bring Gus along to be our guide on the ground!

I will be traveling for the first time out of the country and with so much unsure I was able to get a peace of mind, thanks to Gus and Egypt adventures travel’s guidance. They really care In making sure you have the information and assurance of a safe trip.

Cody Bénefiel

It was our first time traveling to Egypt and knew almost nothing about how stressful it would be preparing Covid pcr tests and information to safely enter and exit. But EAT really provides fantastic tips, insight, and direction to guide us through that confusing process. Egypt was an AMAZING time, one I’ll never forget and I would definitely recommend this for anyone who needs some clarity and assurance for their trip to make it more worth while and stress free 🤙

I am leaving for Egypt on September 7, and got a hold of Gus at Egypt Adventures Travel. I had watched his video on arrival in Cairo Airport and still had some questions, even though the video was quite detailed. He responded back immediately which was very, very helpful. I appreciate his information and knowledge!!

Karla S

Knowledgeable, experienced, and responsive! So generous with their time as well. I appreciate all the help I’ve received :)

In December 2022 I traveled to Egypt to join a two-week tour that I had originally booked in early 2020, but had twice been postponed due to the pandemic. When I booked my airline reservations, the best flight schedule and fare put me in Cairo two days before the group tour was to begin, which was fine, since it gave me an opportunity to visit museums and sites not included in the packaged tour. However, since I have never visited Egypt and am not familiar with public its transportation, I wanted to secure the services of a private guide to maximize my time. Having viewed a few of Gus Gleiter's YouTube guides, I contacted Egypt Adventures Travel for assistance with the list of historic sites and museums I wanted to visit during my two extra days. Gus made additional tour suggestions and arranged for my personal guide, Usama, who was very knowledgable of Egyptian history and fun to be with. Usama's efficient scheduling of our itinerary even permitted us to visit a couple of additional museums and to take walking tours of some fascinating historic districts. He introduced me to some wonderful local restaurants where I believe I was the only foreign customer. During the two days, Gus periodically checked in with us by WhatsApp to make sure all was going according to plan. I couldn't have been more pleased with the service that both Gus and Usama provided!
