Bob our agent chose great tour guides (Sam and Zizo are professors and Egyptologist) they enjoyed showing us around Egypt! Our time in Greece and Egypt was amazing, platinum holidays made sure they chose the best for our stay in both countries. The whole trip I felt like I was taken care of!

Bob, was very helpful all through our booking and answered all our questions promptly. Our trip to Greace and Egypt was amazing it exceeded our expectations truly the hotels were amazing the tour guides, to receiving in 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” (pictures to prove). Thank you Platinum Tours and Bob and the crew. Job well done! I would certainly recommend

Hello Binod,
Our trip was flawless! We so appreciate the attention to detail that you provided and we have already recommended Platinum Holidays to friends who have asked about the trip. Cairo was wonderful and the guides were very organized and modified the itinerary times so we beat the crowds and had a great Cairo experience. Our guide in Greece was astoundingly informed and we had a great understanding of the history of Greece.
We have planned the trips ourselves and traveled with Rick Steve in Italy and Gate 1 in Thailand and feel that what you planned for us with the small groups was superior. Thank you for your patience with the trip that got canceled due to covid, and again we have recommended and will continue to recommend your wonderful organization.

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

Junior,
I just wanted to check in to let you know how great everything is on our trip. The Polis Grand Hotel in Athens was excellent with a fantastic restaurant on top. Looking forward to going back after Santorini. The cruise was wonderful. The ship was nice. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting the lower grade outside cabin and we had the mid grade. Everything about the cruise and sightseeing was great. We got into the Rose Bay Hotel a short while age. It’s beautiful and the man at the desk was incredibly helpful, booking tours for us. Just wanted you to know how great everything is so far. We also met a young couple from Wisconsin who were on the cruise who also happened to book through you. They also were very happy.
Thank you,

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!

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

This was our second trip booked through Jackson at Travel Discounters in Toronto. The first was Africa and it was EXCELLENT. We did the Greece seven day bus trip (intense), three days in Athens, and three days in Santorini. As before in Africa, we were met at the airport to start our journey. Dimitria Papadopoulou was our guide for the seven days bus tour. She was knowledgeable (unbelievable so), courteous, and very patient with close to sixty people on the bus. There was the Thomas Cook travel company collapse which some of our group had booked through and she had to inform our fellow tourists and deal with that (ouch). We were covering a lot of territory and there were times the group did not get to spend as much time in a particular spot as desired. Getting to see so much of the country and learn its history was worth it. The only problem was the hotels provide a similar menu and food became monotonous. Finding some little Greek restaurant was an adventure and usually very good. Our driver was Kostas for GO Tours and his skill level with one of the larger buses was amazing. How we made it without any incidents in those streets and traffic can only be attributed to his abilities. These two people really made the trip great.
Our three days in Athens included a cruise to three islands and a half day tour of Athens. The cruise was good, staff handled us well, boat crew was experienced, and the side trips were worth it. The half day tour of Athens was alright, but the tour guide George was awful. First was his presentation of his educational background to prove he was qualified. This was probably a method to cover up his traits of being a poor people handler and a person that blamed everyone else for problems. Second, he publicly called out a young man who needed a restroom. Third, his directions were unclear and he refused to answer people's questions to clarify.
Santorini was our final destination for three days. We did an evening dinner cruise through Caldera Yachting on the boat Serenity. We loved the perspective of seeing the island from the sea. The captain and crew were excellent and the captain was a GOOD cook too. The next day was a bus tour of the island and the guide was good. The spots we saw from the water we now were visiting. We ended at Oia at sunset. We can say we have been there and done that.
Overall the trip was superb. There was only one guide who was a problem. On leaving, our contact people, alerted us that Athens was going to experience a strike, and recommended we leave for the airport earlier. They picked us up at the new time and we missed the city shutting down.
Jackson, you did a good job.

Our trip was wonderful! It all worked out great. Our favorite hotel, by far, was our Mykonos one. The owner and staff were so personable and we could get anywhere from it's location.
Our least favorite of the trip was Crete. Having been there before, it was disappointing to only see the city. I realize time didn't allow it, but adding one more day and heading into the countryside would have been better. We had a good time though.
The only scary part was that most of our drivers texted while driving. We even had one who was constantly emailing. Culture difference maybe.
Thanks again for all of your help

Amazing service. American Airlines cancelled my flight to Greece and Akhil called me right away to help get it sorted - even though it was 1 am! He also fixed everything on the Athens end so I had zero stress starting my vacation.
Their name might say 'Discounters' but this was a first-class experience the whole way. I Recommend this trip 100%!
