Testimonials

I was on your Oct. 7 to Oct. 23, 2022 Greece/Egypt tour. I just wanted to say how very pleased I was at the accommodations, the guides, the travel arrangements, and the professionalism of all the people involved in making the trip so enjoyable.

Our Egyptian tour guide (Tut) was the best of any I have ever experienced. He was extremely knowledgeable about Egyptian history and a wonderful guide down the Nile and through all the Temples. He was very professional and helpful to all of us, as were his assistants, Kareem and Mimi. All three of them were available 24/7 and extremely helpful at all times. They made our trip so much more enjoyable and fun!!

I certainly hope they continue to work for Travel Discounters because they are a tremendous asset!!

My only complaint was our room accommodations on Santorini. The room was small and shower/bathroom inadequate. I would not recommend The Aegean Plaza!!

The rest of the accommodations were outstanding and the trip was superb!!!!

Thank you, and a special thanks to Tut, Kareem and Mimi

Just got back from our trip to Egypt. Want to thank all the Staffs for such an outstanding service and support given to us for the entire duration of our Tour. Kudos to our Tour guide- Kareem who is so knowledgeable and passionate to his work and very thankful to the supporting Staff - Abd El, and Mimi. They made us feel comfortable and confidently safe at all times. The Tour of Egypt was such an amazing experience. This tour with Travel discounters is highly recommendable.

First of all, I want to say thanks for all your help. Everything went fairly smoothly and we were able to see everything I had ever dreamed of. It truly was the trip of a lifetime for me, since I had been dreaming of it since I was about 15!

Our tour guide, Kareem Kordy in Egypt was wonderful. Our Egyptologist, Kareem Zohny Shemis was the best. I can say enough good things about both of them. Our private driver in Jordan, Kamel Odetallah was the nicest, most professional man. We were so pleased with him and all the extra benefits he provided for us.

The Steigenberger Hotel in Cairo was awesome. Location was perfect. It truly is a 5 star resort.

The Swiss Inn Pyramids is NOWHWERE near the pyramids. In fact, we were further away from the pyramids there than when we staying on downtown Cairo. The resort is very nice though, but WAY away from the airport and town.

The Nile Cruise Ship was very nice, but I wouldn't give it more than 3 stars. We were on the MS Semiramis. Meals tended to not vary much from day to day.

The problem was the hotel after the cruise back in Cairo. After arriving at the Swiss Inn Pyramids at 3:15am, got everything off the bus to check in (along with the other 30 people), Abdul (tour guide in Cairo only) told us we were the ONLY people, NOT staying there! We loaded our stuff back up on a different van which took us to a different Swiss Inn. While trying to check in after the van dropped us off, the hotel had no idea who we were or what we were doing there. Mind you, it is now 3:30 in the morning and we had to be back at the OTHER Swiss Inn by 8am for breakfast and our ride back to the airport for our flight to Aswan. Needless to say, less than 3 hours of sleep that night and 2 very unhappy travelers.

All internal flights were fine. Would have preferred an earlier flight from Aswan back to Cairo as our 10pm flight was delayed until around Midnight.

Jordan was amazing! The hotel in Aswan was great. Location was excellent.

Can't remember our guide at Jerash, but he did a great job.

The Rose Hotel in Petra was OK. But, they wanted $86 US to use the hot tub for 30 minutes! They must be crazy! Luckily, we were only there for 1 night. Petra itself was incredible! Our local tour guide was Asem Hasanat and he was really good. Provided lots of info and took us on some extra walks that weren't really included on his daily schedule. He really went above and beyond. The Masayen Luxury Camp in Wadi Rum was very cool. Probably our best dinner of the trip! The woman at the Lacosta Hotel in Aqaba was fantastic! She provided the best lunch ever when we arrived. Fresh local grilled fish, salad, veggies and cheesecake with strawberries for dessert. The Ramada Resort Dead Sea was nice. I did manage a swim and a mud bath there!

Can't tell you how much we appreciated you guys providing the hotel for our last night at the Amman Airport Hotel. Kamal dropped us off there about 5pm. Since we didn't need to leave for the airport until 2am (for our 3:40am flight), we were able to get a shower and a few hours of sleep. It really was a lifesaver!

All in all, I really would not have changed a thing about this trip (except maybe some of the flight times!). All hotels were a minimum of 3 stars and some higher.

I would highly recommend Travel Discounters (and already have!) and to work directly with you in particular

We booked a trip over Christmas to Egypt through Travel Discounters who contracts with Blue Sky Travel in Cairo. The first half of our trip was spent with Ahmed as our guide and Egyptologist. He was fantastic. We learned so much. He made history come to life. Our trip to Egypt and all the wonders it has to offer would not have been the same without Blue Sky travel and especially Ahmed.

My wife and I did the best of Egypt and Petra and Wadi Rum this past month and we couldn't have been happier with the entire trip. From start to finish there is always someone there to lead the way, always felt comfortable and appreciated by all the contacts we had. Our guides (Tut in Cairo, and Ashraf Roma on the Nile were fantastic. We highly recommend Travel Discounters for your trip to Egypt and Jordan.

Hi Jackson,
Hope all is well.
Just back from our trip to Egypt and wanted to say very sincere thanks for all your help and support The trip was awesome and really surpassed expectations, and the guides, support, transfers and attention to detail on every level we’re fantastic!
This was a “bucket list” vacation and it delivered in every way!
We will also recommend you to anyone planning similar trips Can’t thank you enough for all your help, support and patience along the way!
Will definitely be using you again in the future! As discussed at some point in the future will want to do the Holy Land and Jordan trip, so if you can send details on options and itineraries it will be good to have those on file.
Thanks again!!

We are totally satisfied and completely happy with Mo from Travel Discounters.
He was professional and knowledgeable about all things Greece and Egypt. Mo explained everything very clearly and thoroughly. His helpful tips and suggestions went above and beyond our expectations. We had a ton of questions before booking and Mo answered all of them with patience and compassion. We know our trip will be extraordinary.
Thank you Mo! We will book with Travel Discounters again because of you!

Hi Binod,
We had a wonderful time in Egypt and were happy to be able to experience the language, culture, music, food, and history of the beautiful country. Our tour guides were wonderful as were our fellow travelers. Thank you for all your help in making the arrangements.
Best,
Karen and Mark

Hi Junior,

Thanks,

Travel Discounters did an excellent job of arranging and carrying out our long delayed trip to Egypt and Jordan. Our trip had to be rescheduled twice due to Covid.
Originally we were supposed to also go to Israel but they extended our trip in Jordan and added sites there (Red Sea and Baptism Site of Jesus) since Israel has remained closed.
In Egypt, the accommodations were quite lovely from the Ramses Hilton to the cruise ship. The staff in both were helpful and courteous especially at the Ramses Hilton restaurant. Our guides in Egypt were knowledgeable and helpful. In Cairo, Sahar helped us know what we were looking at, why it was important, and she protected us from the vendors! On the cruise, Hamada was the consummate storyteller - it was easy to follow from one site to the next how the history flowed.
They were both considerate, accommodating, and helpful. I would definitely want them again if we were to return to Egypt.
In Jordan, Kamel was reassuring and helpful. He made sure we knew what our options were, where to shop, and what was going to occur each day. The accommodations were very nice. Our guides, Saddam and Ahmad, were both excellent! It was easy to see they were passionate about what they were showing us.
While the buffets were great and offered us a way to try different foods, we really enjoyed the local meals: the Egyptian BBQ or the maqluea or the Bedouin pit food or the ful.
Overall, this long delayed trip was incredible. It was apparent that the people of Blue Sky and Bridge Travel were proud to be showing us their respective countries.
