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.
Everything from the hotel check-in to the daily tours was seamless. I appreciated how organized the tour was. Capri, Sorrento, and Pompeii were each impressive in their own way. Great value and unforgettable memories!
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.

This is varied tour covering cities, villages, historical sites, mountains, deserts and seaside. The tour was made even better by an excellent guide who clearly explained the history, geography and geology of ehat we saw. It is ideal for those who like busy holidays.

Seeing all the ancient wonders, eating amazing food and exploring great cities with an awesome group of people just makes the best memories. Everything was so easy and well organised. Highly recommend
DO NOT GO ON THIS TRIP if you're not ok with joining a group that has already been happily travelling together for a week. This is NOT a standalone trip, you're joining partway through on the European Trail.

I loved every moment of our tour from İstanbul to Kuşadası. The historical sites in Troy and Pergamon were fascinating. Our driver, Mehmet, was incredibly courteous and made us feel very safe. The hotels were comfortable, and the food was always fresh and tasty. A wonderful trip overall!
