Puglia was beautiful. They did a great job of coordinating bikes, luggage, and routes. The lodging was great for our 7 night stays, except for 1 night, when our group was split into 2 different hotels that were not very close with no advance warning.

I recently experienced an unforgettable Egypt tour that exceeded all my expectations. The journey began with the breathtaking Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx—truly iconic and awe-inspiring wonders of the ancient world. A visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM) complemented this perfectly, offering incredible artifacts and a deep dive into Egypt’s rich history.
The Nile cruise was a highlight, with stunning river views, luxurious comfort, and an amazing crew who provided exceptional service at every moment. Every detail was taken care of, making the experience relaxing and memorable. Don’t miss the awe-inspiring Abu Simbel temples — a spectacular sight that is truly worth the visit.
Other gems included a magical hot air balloon ride over Luxor at sunrise, offering unparalleled panoramic views of the Valley of the Kings. The Nubian Village visit was equally enchanting, providing a warm cultural experience with friendly locals and vibrant traditions. This tour offers the perfect blend of history, culture, and adventure, delivered with outstanding service throughout. Highly recommended for anyone eager to explore the wonders of Egypt!

A trip like this depends on many factors especially the guide and travel companions. In this case we were so fortunate to have Fabio Giorlando as our exceptional guide. Our travel companions were terrific! The itinerary was varied and interesting. The family run businesses we visited warmly welcomed us and shared their stories and food/wine experiences.
The food and restaurant choices were enjoyable. It was very nice that Fabio arranged reservations at restaurants for the meals not covered by the tour making it easy for us to decide whether to eat there or elsewhere (we always ate there and the food and venue were always good.)

Everything was better than we expected. We loved the variety of the itinerary, food and accommodation.
Travelling with other families in the group was a great experience for the adults and children. We got on very well which made the experience even more special.
Our leader Moha went above and beyond to ensure we were all happy and safe at all times.

The tour pace was a bit intense, but with so many natural and historic sites to see, it felt worthwhile. I focused on gathering memories, taking tons of photos along the way. Our guides felt like travel companions, knowledgeable and warm.
