What travelers are saying

"Osiris Tours is owned and operated by New Jersey-based Mahmoud Gebril, a former Egyptian tour guide himself who helped us plan and execute a marvelous, once-in-a-lifetime tour of more than 30 major Egyptian archaeological sites and museums. As anthropologists-ethnographers accustomed to challenging travel and living conditions, we had never considered embarking on a customized tour before (or even traveling with a group tour, for that matter). We were looking to take an intensive, deep dive into Egyptian history, mythology, and architectural wonders spanning five millennia, as well as get a sense of the region’s prehistory and contemporary urban cultures. It would have been difficult to orchestrate it all ourselves, so we’re glad that we learned about Osiris Tours from friends who traveled with the company to Egypt in 2023. We came home fully satisfied with every aspect of the journey. The company’s excellent reputation in delivering customized private-tour experiences is built on the invaluable expertise of dedicated Egyptologists and support personnel who know first-hand the language, cultural practices, and logistical ins and outs. With the able guidance of two knowledgeable Egyptologists, Cairo-based Ahmed Fathy Alsayed and Luxor-based Esam (Sam) Fallah Itsa, we always managed to beat the crowds and sometimes found ourselves the only visitors in some places. Transportation was handled superbly by a coordinated team of airport representatives and skilled drivers used to negotiating the astonishing traffic jams. We traveled from Cairo to Aswan by air, by private van to Abu Simbel, cruised down the Nile to Luxor (including a day trip to Abydos and Dendera temple complexes in Qena, rarely visited by casual tourists), and flew back to Cairo. The 13-day/12-night itinerary featured an all-inclusive three-day Nile cruise on the Sonesta Moon Goddess and four different five-star hotels with truly sumptuous breakfast buffets. We could not have been better fed or well cared for, and we are grateful for everyone’s efforts."

What travelers are saying

"I enrolled early in the French Art Voyage because of the caliber of the sites visited: no visit to the overly crowded Louvre but rather to Monet’s Giverny and Cezanne’s studio. A preliminary itinerary I just received has no mention of Giverny so I went online to be sure it was still open. It is. I checked Cezanne’s studio and found it closed for renovation. I called Road Scholar to ask why Giverny was canceled and did they mean Cezanne perhaps. A customer service rep was clueless. I spelled Giverny to her twice. She put me on hold for 15 minutes, returned and said someone would contact me. I told her to wait a minute. I had more. Was Cezanne’s studio to be canceled as well.? Five days later I get an email from Judith telling me Giverny was not officially on the itinerary, Cezanne’s studio had to be removed due to renovation and I could not see the Mona Lisa!!! I responded saying I sensed some bait and switch also reminding her I NEVER asked about the Mona Lisa. She replied telling me how to arrange Giverny for myself and reiterating that I could not see the Mona Lisa!!!! I have experienced ageism but not gaslighting like this. I am not an old fool who imagined Giverny on the itinerary. I am not an old fool insisting on a Mona Lisa that was not. Road Scholar has no business marketing to elders with staff like this."
