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.

We are a group of twenty-one travelers, mostly from Canada. We embarked on our journey to Egypt, Jordan, and Israel at the end of February. We booked our tour more than six months in advance through our travel consultant Mo with Travel Discounters in Toronto.
Our first day on the ground in Egypt was simply amazing, seeing the Pyramids at Giza with our own eyes. Breathtaking! The staff on the ground in Egypt with Blue Sky Travel were top-notch, ensuring we were met at the airport, transported to our hotels; arranging a safe and comfortable journey through the land of the Pharaohs.
The highlight of the trip, bar none, was the five-day cruise of the Nile River. While the rooms were not up to our expectations, the excellent service from the cruise staff and wonderful vegetarian meals they served us more than compensated for the slight disappointment in accommodation.
Our next stop was in Jordan, where again our tour guide and bus driver with Bridge Travel did their best to offer us honest insight into the history of the country, its people and historic sights such as Mount Nebo and Petra; and make us feel safe, comfortable and well taken care of.
The same can be said of our tour-guide and driver in Israel. We spent the majority of our time visiting sites of great importance to the Christian faith in the city of Jerusalem, while also seeing the Wailing Wall. We also visited the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and the Mount of Temptation at Jericho, in the Palestinian Territories. We were disappointed with our accommodations in Jerusalem, though we appreciate that staff of Bridge Travel and the National Hotel did their level best to address our concerns and try to rectify issues with our rooms.
Unfortunately, another challenge for our group was that many were strict vegetarians, and some of the places we ate in Jordan and Israel did not satisfy our requirements. Again, Bridge Travel did hear our concerns and did their best to address the situation on the go, as did our travel consultant in Canada, Mo.
Our final stop was back in Jordan, at the Dead Sea Spa Hotel, which was delightful. A highlight for many was floating in the Dead Sea and covering ourselves in its healing mud.
On balance, the trip was incredible -- and exceeded expectations on many fronts. We appreciated the knowledge and insight provided by our tour-guides, in Egypt - Kareem, Jordan - Abdallah and Israel - George. If you are considering going to Egypt, Jordan, and Israel, do make the trip. In all three countries, we felt safe and well cared for. Feel free to book your trip with confidence through Mo at Travel Discounters in Toronto. He helped make this a trip of a lifetime!

This tour delivered far more than I expected, right from the minute we stepped off of the plane!

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.

I just wanted to tell you how fabulous our trip to India was and thanks again for your help!

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.

All in all it was a very memorable nature & cultural experience!

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.
