Customer Reviews
An excellent trip and experience.
We are a widely travelled couple of 70 year olds and both the Egypt and Jordan Explorer trips were absolutely amazing and far exceeded our expectations. The guides and drivers were totally professional, exceptionally knowledgeable and looked after us very well. Both trips covered everything on the itinerary and as we had spare time at the start and end of our Egypt section, our guide offered us a few options such as the Bent Pyramid, Alexandria, Dendara Temple and the Cairo Islamic Quarter visit that we gladly took up. All airport meet/greet and transfers went smoothly and the overnight train trip from Aswan to Cairo was a unique experience. We thoroughly recommend this tour company, we have travelled with them previously and will most certainly travel with them again.
