An excellent and very well organised tour combining all the aspects one could want for a 'bucket list' trip to Egypt. The activities, both the included and optional, were well paced with time to relax as well as soak up the history. All the staff were fabulous, knowledgeable, and supportive.

The tour was very well thought out and planned. Every detail of travel and accommodations was covered. My tour guide, was awesome and answered all of the groups questions, kept us on track, but also allowed us to explore and have fun while seeing all the sites.

It was wonderful, awe inspiring. Exploring the history of Egypt, ant the tombs and museums that depicted life back for thousands of years as these countries are the cradle of mankind.
Suzanne F. | Traveled in July
The perfect trip!! There was a great balance of busy sightseeing and down time. The river cruise was spectacular!! Our tour guide was AMAZING! Sherif took care of all our needs as well as providing us with so much wonderful information. He took us to a spice shop one evening and guided us with our purchases!! Sherif stayed with my group of 4, 2 days beyond the original tour. We booked different excursions and went to Alexandria and to the new GEM. He guided us and gave a great account of each of the sites we visited. Sherif is one of the wonders if Egypt!! We were lucky to have him as our tour guide and leader.

I think it was a wonderful trip, learning about how well connected the 3 countries were is quite amazing. Rome was fast paced but it was still a good amount of time. took us to Tivoli which was a nice change of scenery as well. Greece, I think we could have toured a little more, the tour guide was telling us about things we should look at in our free time but some of the things were quite close, I feel we could have gone to those places as a group. Pistachio was great, yes you sign up to see the ancient side of Greece but it was refreshing to have a taste of the beautiful islands it has to offer. Egypt was fantastic, while it was crammed into 2 days I still think it was a good amount of time to do everything, the resort was great as well.
Key F. | Traveled in July
This was the best Trafalgar trip we have taken and we have taken six trips with Trafalgar! Our tour guide, was amazing beyond expectations. The group we were with was wonderful and the sites we saw were magical! Thank you for this incredible experience!!!
