My trip manager was absolutely amazing, was able to coordinate everything and more for us. Including any excursions you may not see on existing itinerary, he was a pro at. Was nice to turn your brain off and just enjoy. I had expectations of seeing pyramids and was blown away by everything more we did. Soooo much fun. Book Egypt and the Nile! I

As you’d expect from the map and itinerary, there’s a lot of time travelling on this trip, but the highlights visited are well worth it. Our tour leader, Tui, was exceptional in making the trip smooth, enjoyable and fun.

Our tour leader Bee (Bianca) and driver Ryaan were both excellent. The itinerary was varied and well paced and accommodation excellent right up to the last night when unfortunately the accommodation 'Beyond Cui Bono' felt very run down by comparison which was a shame, as otherwise the trip would get a 5 star review from me!

Mussa and his team were fantastic - encouraging, supportive and attentive, especially on that final summit hike! I’m also glad I went on the safari extension- Godwin couldn’t have been more informative and engaging. A great trip all round that will live long in the memory.

Varied countryside, fun taking two long train trips. Staggered to see the deprivations of the Railroad of Death (think Bridge over the river Kwai) brilliant spending 2 nights on a raft, and still had the best food of the trip
Paula P. | Traveled in January
This trip surpassed our expectations and was successful in everyway. Our guide Will was great and really contributed to making the whole trip as good as it could possibly be. He was extremely knowledgeable and demonstrated the perfect balance between being professional at all times , friendly, humorous and interacted easily with the group. Other Guides that were used on individual day trips were also a joy to listen to , sharing their knowledge and experience. The only observation (not a criticism as everything was wonderful) I can make is that was very little time to relax and often half day trips, in theory finishing around 2pm got delayed, meaning we didn't get back until around 5pm. This was the case in Placencia where a half day or even another night would have been welcome as would another day on Caye Caulker . Having said that our adult daughters came with us for a rare whole family holiday and had the trip been any longer they would not have been able to join us as they would be unable to take any more annual leave. Our group bonded particularly well so the friendships and humour added to the happy and relaxed atmosphere. I cannot fault this trip and highly recommend it
