This was an excellent trip in April 2022 - great itinerary, so much culture, fantastic guide (Tarek) and such delicious food on the Nile boat. I loved every minute of it, and so glad I went. Particular highlights for me were the temples at Karnack, Valley of the Kings, the food on the Nile boat and the yellowness of the sandstorm that engulfed us on our way back from Abu Simbel! It is however, not a trip for the faint-hearted. There are LOTS of early starts. Almost every day was a start before 7am and on a couple of days, it was up at 3am. There is LOTS of walking, I think I did about 27 miles in the 9 days - to/from temples, round museums, in/out of airports, to/from local markets etc. Personally, I am not sure I would label this as 'leisurely' - yes, there were no hills to climb, but it was often uneven, sandy ground we walking on and when I went, Egypt was also going through a heatwave, so it was 43 or 44 degrees every day. I ignored some of the optional extras so I could have some down time on the boat. I would also add that in additional to the 'essentials' listed on the what to take, you also need: sunhat, scarf to cover your shoulders and women need to wear a long skirt for the day they are going into the mosque in Cairo. Refillable water bottle and light/comfortable walking shoes - very essential! Also, take US dollars as your main currency (small denominations and not ripped notes). You will need some Egyptian pounds for some of the attractions, but everywhere they just want hard currency - even at the local markets. Final word of advice - don't bother with the extra walk INSIDE the pyramid in Cairo. It is near vertical, baking hot and nothing to see at the end of it. My legs were wobbly for hours afterwards. Overall, this was a totally amazing trip though and hope you enjoy it.

This trip is a fantastic way to see a lot of the country in a short amount of time. I loved the sights and the pace. Our guide and our driver were both amazing. The guide provided lots of information and really went out of his way to make sure we were having a wonderful experience throughout the trip. There were optional excursions as well, like a visit to an oasis, a visit to the Star Wars village, and a camel ride in the desert. The three of us in our group chose to do all of the optional trips, and we enjoyed them a lot. I'd recommend going on any optional trips that are offered--the cost is reasonable, and it's a great way to see even more. We also had a bit of time on our own, too, so that was nice. I'd recommend this tour to anyone who is planning a visit to Tunisia. The mix of sights is great, and you will get a nice overview of a lovely country!

I saw places I have only dreamed about. We sailed the Nile like kings & queens. I met people & would love to invite to dinner. I have been to a Mosque and learned about the practices. The people are lovely & their babies adorable. Egypt is in my heart. Thank you.

Immersive Tunisia is ideal for those who want to have a good look at the country's grand historical sites. The tour was very well organised by the local tour operator. Our guide was a mine of information and was responsive to our wishes. Our driver moved us around swiftly, safely and with great courtesy. The standard of food and accommodation was good throughout. I highly recommend both Tunisia and the tour.
