Wonderful way to explore Egypt with good mix of history and relaxation. The kids loved playing in the swimming pools at each hotel and I loved seeing the Valley of the Tombs and the Egyptian Museum. Our tour leader, Mohamed, was brilliant- both knowledgeable and helpful.
Lovely trip to a beautiful country. Wild flowers in the mountains were a particular delight.
The guide Ivica was great. Very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about everything he showed us as well as being interested to learn from the clients as well.
All in all the trip surpassed expectations.

I enjoyed all we saw within our nine days and how well organised the trip was! Such a great and easy way to travel Europe. Our guides were also incredible and so knowledgeable! I personally think there were many FTA's (which added up quite quickly in costs) and expected more included experiences, but otherwise was very impressed by how organised our trip manager was and how smooth everything ran!
The “second day” the flight is SUPER early and you have to leave the hotel at 4 am.
That was not communicated anywhere and we didn’t arrive at the hotel u til after 11 pm the night before. It made the morning very difficult!
Also, it would be helpful if there was a place by the day noting if women needed to cover shoulders/knees or men knees. When I was packing and googling, it said that at Kom Ombo (and most of the temples) it was recommended to have shoulder and knees covered, but when we got there I was told we didn’t need it. I had a lot more pants packed then I needed and that would have been helpful to know when I actually needed to wear more conservative clothing or having my hair covered.
Overall the itinerary was good. We saw a lot and had a great guide!
We were on the Steinberger cruise ship - I would not recommend that one again. Very limited. We were on Thai ship with another group from Trafalgar that paid less for the tour and we had no extras. We allowed one drink at dinner and one bottle of water.. anything more we had to pay for. They didn’t have coffee/tea available throughout the day for free. It seemed like they were nickel and diming the guests. I have been on other River cruises and unlimited water, beverages at dinner, and feee coffee/tea throughout the day in the lounge was accessible.
The low season Amalfi Coast walking holiday is highly recommended. The tour leader Matteo was knowledgable and enthusiastic about his home town and villages and made the whole area come to life with his local inside knowledge of the history, the people, and the walking routes. We got to explore and visit most of the 13 towns and villages on paths, many many steps and also using some public and private buses. In the early season we saw hardly any other walkers or tourists, making for easy walking and visiting, with spectacular views of the coast and valleys. The tour was well organised, with easy booking and good communication from the team. The hotel was comfortable and the planned itinary was interesting with walking that was sometimes a little challenging with lots of up and down hill, but at an achieveable pace, broken up with many facts about the area and time to explore.

I was impressed with pre booking process with Alex from Eskapas. He customized the trip and he was very patient with us. We modified our itinerary many times and he answeres all of our questions. I was very confident that we had chosen the right tour company.
The promptness with which we were greeted at Athens airport, and the pick-up and drop-off to the hotels and airport were impressive. We really liked all the hotels that were chosen for us. Overall a great experience. Highly recommend.
