The Nile River Cruise was excellent with good service and attentive staff that made it memorable for us. Great meals and different cuisine offered each night. Abu Simbel was very beautiful. We did the hot air balloon ride as well and it was spectacular to see the sunrise.

Outstanding tour that exceeded all expectations!

You hired excellent guides and Egyptologists for every stop. All were great but the best was Sahar in Cairo who created such a strong connection between our group and the history of Egypt it brought my wife to joyful tears. We look forward to taking another trip through you guys again.

Beyond what I ever expected!

Our whole experience was top notch!

At the airport, outside the airport and at the hotel there were always someone every step of the way in Egypt. Our days were filled with excitement and travels. To end our travels before the airport we had high tea at the beautiful hotel by the Nile River where Agatha Christi wrote his famous novel “death on the Nile”.

- Sharmi

I'm had one of the most amazing experiences!

I highly recommend this company!

Deodene, our trip advisor did an awesome job. She answered emails quickly and everything went according to plan. All the accommodations, hotels and lodging were fantastic. The Nile cruise and guides were exceptional! The activities and tours were amazing. We saw the big five up close and personal! Everyone got a “window“ seat in the open safari vehicle.
