The trip was great, couldn't ask for a better tour. Cherry Blossom season is the time to go as the scenery is just beautiful. The Japanese people are as friendly as you could want. Jamie and Kanako made a great team that worked very well together to make sure we had such a good time. This trip will go back on my list of trips I want to do in next few years because I liked it so much.

Intense tour of Egypt and Jordan fitting in as many iconic sights as possible, but with some welcome downtime at half-way on the Red Sea. Slightly more controlled than other trips, perhaps due to security issues, especially in Egypt but a great crowd on the bus and excellent guides as usual. I ticked off so many bucket list boxes on this one!

Egypt is a must-do for all travellers and expat were a great company to experience it all though.
Our itinerary was brilliant, never making us feel rushed but ensuring we got to experience the best Egypt has to offer in a 10 day visit.
Ramez our guide is the best you can hope for. His knowledge of Egyptology, care for us as a group, organisation and kind and happy nature left us with memories and friendships that will last a life-time.
Not once did I feel unsafe or at risk as a solo mid 20's female traveller.
The Jordan part of the trip, while a beautiful country with amazing sites and experiences also was a bit rushed and felt disorganised. Don't let this stop you from booking the Egypt part of the trip though!
I would recommend this trip to anyone, especially with the overnight on a Felucca boat - a highlight of the trip for me!!
