Testimonials

Thank you and your people so very very much for a fantastic adventure to Egypt. It was beyond wonderful! I knew it would be great and it was better than we hoped!
We would both like to give some special shout out to our specific people that make this trip of a lifetime.
The first person we met was Abdul and he was amazing. He made us feel comfortable and welcome from the first moment we saw him as soon as we got off the plane.
I never once felt like I was confused or didn’t know what to do. He paved the way for a fantastic trip. He reached out to us every couple days to check in to make sure everything was going well. If I had been worried about anything I would’ve felt very reassured by his watching out for us!
The guides were so fun, knowledgeable, helpful and brought history to life. Tut in Cairo was the PERFECT way to begin and end our journey - he is an inspirational teacher and we learned so much from him. He was a great joy and a blessing to be around. He taught us so many different parts of Egyptian history, culture and way of life.
He is so charismatic and we felt like he is a good friend immediately upon meeting him. We enjoyed every moment of our time with him.
Hamada in Luxor and on the cruise was excellent as well. He is a gifted storyteller and painted beautiful verbal pictures especially about the ancient gods and goddesses. I knew the basic stories of some of those but he brought them to life which is so amazing especially in a second language or perhaps third language for him. Both of these men made the trip!
You could tell everyone in their area loved them – so many people stopped and gave them a big hello when we were going by. It felt like they knew everyone in town and everyone in town loves them as much as we did. They did what all good teachers do and they made you want to learn even more about the subject.Their Enthusiasm and love of Egypt is contagious.
The drivers were fantastic and fearless especially in the awful Cairo traffic! Sheref was very helpful accompanying us to the airport upon our departure and waiting through all the different lines early in the morning.
We cannot begin to thank you enough for setting up such an amazing trip with an outstanding team The trip was seamless and effortless and only fun every minute before, during and afterwards.
We are already looking forward to our next trip with your company. My other children are already clamoring to go to Kenya next year this time with me! I could go on and on and on about this trip and your company and what a great experience. I posted some pictures on Facebook this morning (we got back late last night). I already have a ton of friends asking me for more information about this trip and wanting to go! I certainly will recommend your company!
Thank you again, and I wish you and your family blessings this season.
With many hugs and much appreciation,

Elizabeth and Maizie Smith

Binod, and All at Travel Discounters
Carol, Joan, Joe, and I want to express our sincere thanks for the effort all those at “Travel Discounters” put into route planning in the face of constant COVID-19 changes.
We arrived home last evening, tired from the long series of flights, but still exhilarated from the experience. We loved Kenya. The people were welcoming and we were treated like family everywhere we went. Customer service is what stood out. We were treated like royals.
If there was a “downer” in the entire journey it would have to be the Nile River Cruise experience. Since the riverboat was 'branded' as being a 'Princess Cruise Ship', we were surprised, having had good experiences with 'Princess' on ocean cruises. The dining was the worst of the trip.
The staff did the minimum possible. Just getting a cup of coffee was more effort than ( it seemed to us and the others at our table) the half-filled cup was worth. We had laundry done and it was returned more wet than damp. We had to spread clothes around the room to dry them so we could pack.
On the upside, viewing the rural Egyptian countryside from the ship was amazing.
Seeing how the desert and the Nile are in constant struggle over such a narrow strip of tillable land was enlightening.
The local guides in Egypt were excellent. Tremendously helpful and knowledgeable. That being a guide requires a degree from a four university shows how serious the Egyptians are about preserving their history.
Our driver/guide in Kenya (Daniel) was amazing at spotting wildlife and driving simultaneously. He also had a great sense of humor and we quickly developed a rapport.
The resorts (Lake Naivasha Sopa and Elewana Sand River) were very different, but both wonderful. Lodging, staff, location, dining, game viewing were all unforgettable. Zebras on the resort paths and giraffes in the yard were not uncommon, thus the requirement for an escort from dusk to dawn. We’d happily return to either. At Sand River, one staff member deserves special mention - Phillip was most attentive and personable. The 'tents' we were lodged in take 'Glamping' to a whole new level - beautiful.
While COVID-19 added extra stress and forced radical itinerary changes, Travel Discounters and Pollman Travel went beyond any reasonable expectations is shepherding us through the ever-changing regulatory landscape.
We’re forever grateful and would not hesitate to place ourselves in the hands of the professionals at either company.
Here’s hoping we get a chance to do just that in the future.

Sincerely,

Carol and Warren

Our group of 10 went to South Africa. We enjoyed very much. The arrangement done by Travel discountres was excellent. The food was very good. Safaris were great. I will recommend them for your future travel plan and will use the for ours again.
customer service is what stood out. We were treated like royals.
Thank you to you and your staff for helping us enjoy such an unforgettable experience

I was hesitant when I booked through Travel Discounters with Bridge travel because I have never booked with them before.
I was overwhelmed with the kind and warm greeting I received everywhere I went. The Jordanian people were great.
Jordan is full of so many wonderful treasures. My driver for the week was Jacob and though he started out being a driver by the end of the week he became my friend. He was eager to tell us all about his country.
He made sure I had everything I needed. The experience at Mount Nebo was overwhelming. The dead Sea encounter was breathtaking.
I was blown away at the sites in Petra. For me one of the highlights of the trip was Wadi Rum. If you’re hesitant about trying this company or going to Jordan please don’t be. You will not be disappointed with Bridge Travel or Travel Discounters.

Hi Binod,
We arrived back from our trip yesterday. I just wanted to share with you what a wonderful experience Neil and I had. It was amazing seeing the sites and wonders that abound in Africa. Everyone in Cape Town, Victoria Falls and Karongwe were super nice and the game drives spectacular. With very few hiccups, your arrangements worked very well, better than expected especially in the Covid environment.
Thank you to you and your staff for helping us enjoy such an unforgettable experience.

Mo arranged a superb Greece trip for us. Great service and value. Highly recommended.

Traveled to Egypt and Jordan in September 2021 with a tour through Travel Discounters.
This was the trip of a lifetime visiting the best of both countries on a well-organized and exciting itinerary.
Our tour guides in Egypt -- Kareem Zohny Shemis and Sahar Bayoumi -- were very professional and truly made the history and antiquities come to life for our tour group.
I highly recommend both Travel Discounters and our in-country travel guides, Blue Sky Travel, for a remarkable vacation.

I'm normally not one to repeat destinations, but this is one trip I would do again in a heartbeat.
It was truly the trip of a lifetime. But the absolute highlight was our incredible guides.
Our Cairo guide was Sahar Bayoumi, and our cruise guide was Kareem Shemis...they were hands down the best tour guides I have ever had, and are what made the trip so special for me.
Both are brilliant Egyptologists, but also incredibly kind and patient people adept at handling anything the day threw at them.
We never felt unsafe or uncomfortable, and our group and guides wound up feeling like family by the end of the week.
I can't wait to visit again!

I have wanted to see Egypt for over twenty years and finally got the opportunity!
It was the trip of a lifetime. Very well organized and well thought out agenda.
We felt safe and secure the whole trip. Our guide, Kareem, was simply amazing!
Highly attentive to meet everyone’s needs and ensured everyone had an amazing time.
His knowledge and passion for his job was incredible.
I highly recommendKareemand this entire experience. Well worth the wait! Incredible experience.

Our Safari trip with a stop in Cape Town was 5 star. There were no glitches in our travel. Air and ground transportation was perfect.
Beck's lodge was amazing and we saw The Big 5 within days. The lodge was beautiful! The food was good, but the customer service is what stood out. We were treated like royals.
Travel Discounters and our agent Jackson Tay did a fantastic job and we will use them again.
Bravo, 5 Star vacation in the books!!
