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.

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.

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.

Deodene, our trip advisor did an awesome job. She answered emails quickly and everything went according to plan. All the hotels and lodging were fantastic.
