"Travel Matters" excursions are often just glorified shopping trips. Especially frustrating was going to a "oil/scent" shop for 2 hours

Really enjoyed the trip around Morocco! Very well planned and organised trip - made extra special by our trip leader Saber, who was exceptional, very knowledgeable, friendly and always happy to help in any situation!

This was a brilliant tour in every respect. Hery was one of the best trip leaders I've ever had. And the places we went and the things I saw made this a truly memorable trip of a lifetime. That said, it's not for everyone. Long days on bad roads were grueling, and some of the lodging was basic. But these things should not dissuade anyone from visiting this fascinating and beautiful country.

An amazing trip! You need to be prepared for long drives and early mornings but in return you see some beautiful country and spectacular animals. Loved it.

My family and I took the 9-day Discover Cairo & Luxor with look at Egypt tours: The Wonders of Egypt tour in May 2026, and it was an incredible experience from beginning to end. The itinerary was well planned and gave us enough time to enjoy every destination without feeling rushed. Seeing the Pyramids and the Sphinx for the first time was unforgettable, and exploring the museums, Khan El Khalili, and taking a Nile dinner cruise made our time in Cairo even more special. Luxor completely exceeded our expectations. Walking through Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Luxor Temple, and seeing the Colossi of Memnon brought Egypt's ancient history to life in a way we never imagined. We stayed at the Fairmont, which was an excellent hotel, and all of the transportation during the trip was clean, comfortable, and punctual. Traveling as a family was easy because everything was so well organized. This tour was the perfect introduction to Egypt, and we returned home with unforgettable memories. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to experience the country's history and culture in a comfortable and well-planned way.
