We have just returned from our Egypt trip that was organized by Platinum Holidays.us. They did an amazing job! From the minute we got on Egypt Air, everything was smooth & like clockwork. The Blue Sky Travel representatives were there to meet us & walk us through every step of the way. Special thanks to Kareem, our guide in Cairo, and to Hussein, our guide down the Nile River, and Mr. Mimi, who took care of our needs on the River cruise. All of them, and the rest of the staff were outstanding. The Egyptian people were so friendly and helpful. They were truly happy to see we tourists. Our party of 6 had a wonderful once-in-a-lifetime experience. We highly recommend this trip. We've traveled extensively and don't do 'tour arranged travel', but this was perfect to get the most out of all the wonderful things to see Show more |

I used this company to tour Egypt and Jordan. It was fantastic service and the tour companies they utilized in Egypt (Blue Sky) and in Jordan (Bridge Travel) were top notch. I will use them again for my next trip if they provide the service to that part of the world, which will be Peru to visit Machu Pichu. They took care of everything and allowed me to do the airline upgrades in all my flights. |

Just returned from the trip to Egypt via Travel Discounters. It was fantastic. Before departure Binod was very helpful, answering all our questions immediately and to our satisfaction. Upon arrival we were met by Abdul before we got to the passport control, and he took care of all formalities at the Airport and hotel. Everything went very smoothly, our cruise was better than expected. Food was various and tasty, local drinks drinkable, except whisky. Stay away. By the way, drink package includes not only beer and wine, but also local hard liquor. Our tour managers Abdul and Ashraf were great and very helpful, made our life very easy. Cairo tour guide Maged was great. But Egyptologist on the cruise Yasser was beyond all expectations. Published author and TV show host he was absolute highlight of the tour. My wife was scared to go to Egypt, but turns out everything was absolutely safe. And, sightseeing is absolutely mind-blowing. Everyone we met was fond of USA and American people, very friendly and nice. I strongly recommend Travel Discounters Egypt tours! Show more |

Binod, thank you for patiently helping us last month (March, 2021) navigate our pre-trip trials and tribulations. It was definitely worth the effort! We felt so fortunate to have Amro Ghanem as our guide from Luxor through Aswan. He was so pleasant and knowledgeable and made the Nile Valley portion of our tour just incredible. We felt as though we made a new friend. He mentioned knowing you so I thought I would pass along how much we enjoyed his guidance in particular. Kareem also was amazing while we were in Cairo. Very friendly and also very knowledgeable. Thank you once again for your kind assistance in helping us visit Egypt! Show more |

This trip was awesome. We were taken care of very well. From the time we were met at airport to the time we were taken back to airport were always with an extremely knowledgeable guide. History was incredible our Egyptian history guide. Kareem very well educated, excited about his sharing his Homeland with us. This is a tour that was reasonable but first class. |

Did the best of Egypt that included Cairo, Luxor, Aswan and the Nile cruise.... Even with a cancelled flight from Chicago to Vienna, I can't say anything negative. We were met in Cairo and taken care of the entire trip. Hotels was beautiful, buses were comfortable and roomy, tours and tour guides were amazing. Never felt unsafe.... Cruise was perfect. Will recommend the trip to friends! |

Hello Junior, Please extend our greetings to Binod and we want to thank you both for an amazing journey on our trip to Egypt last month, March 2021. From the time we landed until we left, we never waited for anything and everyone on destination was amazing. They made special accomodations for Russell and allowed us to see more sites. The flights, the cruise ship and all excursions were A+ and seem like a dream now. I cannot believe we went on such an amazing adventure and you all made it possible. Please make sure that everyone knows how much we appreciate our guide Saber, who was amazing and enjoyable to be around. He really went above and beyond to make sure we were cared for and is a great asset to any traveler. We were sad when we had to depart his company and fly back to Cairo. He's a very special person. We also appreciated Walid and 'Abdul 1' as he called himself in Cairo for the assistance from arrival to departure.We always felt comfortable and safe each day we were there. We saw so much in our week and just want to make sure that we thank everyone. Best Regards, Show more |

Returned from this adventure unscathed. This tour delivered far more than I expected. Right from the minute we stepped off of the plane we were greeted by an exceptional Blue Sky representative. They had all of our names, helped us with luggage and clearly explained what we would be doing every step of the way. Airport transports were easy. Hotel accommodations were excellent. Daily agendas were well planned. We had daily surprises when it came to our tours (in a fun way). The staff on the cruise went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and all of our needs were met. We celebrated a birthday while on board. The cruise staff chefs prepared an excellent cake AND sang danced and played instruments to acknowledge this birthday. It was so wonderful the birthday girl cried with delight! I have only one negative comment. Drinks on board were not very good. The Egyptologist was excellent. Rehab in Cairo And Yaser for the seven day tour, very knowledgeable and were passionate about their jobs. Prior to deciding on this tour I was unsure about our safety. Most important was how very safe we were. At no time did I ever feel the least bit threatened. Safe safe and more safe. If a person is worried about going 'don't be'! There is nothing to worry about. The BlueSky representatives ensured we were in good hands. They were with us every single step of the tour. One of the most exceptional guides was Ashraf Roma. He treated us as if we were family. He met our every needs. If there was something we needed, he helped. If we purchased goods in the market, he made sure the price we paid was fair. Kept us cool from the sun. If there was a special request he helped out from ATM access to the Pharmacy. This gentleman is an asset to this company. We ended our tour at the Marriott at the Red Sea. What an excellent way to end our journey. Refreshing and relaxing. I hope this review helps. Thank you! Show more |

I used Travel Discounters out of Canada and I got 11 nights including a 7 night Nile cruise, all meals, upgraded drinks package, r/t flights from California, two of the best guides ever, Rehab in Cairo and Walid on the cruise, camel ride with pictures at the great pyramids, hot air balloon over Luxor and all sight seeing with transportation plus so much more. It was the trip of a lifetime! The package was Spectacular Egypt which took us from Cairo to Alexandria and down to Abu Simbel. The Egyptians were so gracious and friendly. Egypt is very safe but the vendors were aggressive. Show more |

We would recommend Blue Sky as a tour provider in a heartbeat. Right from the beginning, with our initial contact with Alec at Travel Discounters, our trip was a most enjoyable experience. We were treated with the same care and consideration by Blue Sky representatives upon landing in Cairo by Abdul 1, and then by Kareem and Walid, during our cruise. There were another helpful handful of Blue Sky representatives involved, as we spent some time in Cairo and Hurghada. Not much more to say, as it would only be redundant. EXCELLENT!! Show more |
Right from the minute we stepped off the plane we were greeted by an exceptional BlueSky representative. Hotel and Cruise were excellent. Daily agendas were well planned. The staff on the cruise went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and our needs met.
We really enjoyed having our own little car with a driver and guide for the week. It was a wonderful glimpse of this part of India, our recollections of the elephants, the cows, the camels, the traffic and the forts and antiquities will remain near the top of our experiences.
We had a great time. Very scenic area. Weather was sunny & nice & wildlife sightings were great.....we even saw the white spirit bear. It was the lodge's first sighting of the year & Kathy was the first to spot it from the boat. The staff was very friendly, welcoming & accommodating.
