We support tourism that benefits travelers as well as local people.
Our trips always aim to offer the most authentic experience possible, we also value any place, accommodation, transport, that respects a minimum of ecological standards.
We flee mass tourism and instead look for local nuggets, while always trying to bring personalization and uniqueness to our travels.
We advocate traveling off the beaten track!
Behind the concept
Marion
A Frenchwoman from the Loire Valley and a great explorer of our beloved planet, I’ve been creating tailor-made trips for almost 10 years, specializing in Egypt and Kenya, where I used to live.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Tourism, I had been creating my own tailor-made trips in Egypt for 2 years.
It was during my first trip to Egypt in 2020 that I fell under the country’s spell and specialized in the destination, discovering experiences far from the classics and unearthing little-known nuggets.
Today, I apply my knowledge of travel, my expertise in the field and my excellent local network to unearth the finest experiences.
One of my greatest wishes? To help people discover Egypt in a different way.
Heba
Originally from Cairo and born in Moscow, I’ve always been drawn to authentic and cultural destinations, while promoting sustainable tourism.
Graduate in architecture, I then turned to project management by studying social development, focusing in the effects of tourism on communities and social sustainability, which today brings real added value to the organization of the proposed immersive trips.
I take part in the organization of tailor-made trips in Egypt by being the main local coordinator, and by promoting responsible tourism in my country as much as possible.
One of my greatest wishes? To change the way people travel in Egypt.

Traveler reviews
I could not have dreamed of a better experience, Marion is a very caring manager who you can trust! I give 5 stars!!
What an incredible journey I was able to make thanks to La Toupie Voyageuse, which was able to understand in details what I really want. The journey made last March was very exciting! As soon as I arrived in Cairo, I found I was welcomed by our driver who handed me my new local SIM card! Immediately, I was confident that Marion gives attention to details for her travelers. Accommodation, transport, management of visits to museums, temples, nothing was left to chance. She paid attention to our search of authenticity, flawless support, top guides (French-speaking Egyptians) who allowed me to discover what I would undoubtedly have flown over if they had not been present. . We guess at La Toupie Voyageuse its desire to share its passion and this is reflected in the quality of its services. From Cairo to Aswan via Luxor, my 8 days spent in Egypt will remain unforgettable. Really I have entered history, the one that cannot be forgotten. Thank you Marion
Great trip to Egypt thanks to Marion! Marion had planned everything and it was very reassuring to be able to count on her. She called me to check that everything was fine for example when she had organized a long taxi ride, she was always careful that I did not have to wait etc. Really attentive and she had great contacts, the guide was great! For peace of mind and an unforgettable stay I recommend Marion
I have been dreaming of discovering and visiting ancient Egypt. Thanks to La Toupie Voyageuse, I finally lived this dream. The stay concocted by Marion was a marvellous: The discovery of the pyramids, the temples, the valley of the kings they all fascinated me. And to talk about travelling down the Nile river between Aswan and Luxor with stops along the way to visit the different sites. This cruise on a Dahabiya is a marvel of change of scenery and well-being. This small boat is very comfortable with a staff that takes great care of tourists. In addition, Marion knows how to find accommodation far from large hotel complexes to preserve authenticity. Thank you to La Toupie Voyageuse for this magical journey.
