The tour director was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and forth coming. If you are an history buff, then this tour is definitely worth it!!!!!!!
Site visits require a degree of mobility. Uneven ground, no handrails even at boat docks. *personal info removed by Feefo*. helped but it was still slow going while holding up others.
This was a brilliant tour and the itinerary covered all of the areas of Egypt that we had time too. Very efficient and thorough. Accommodation excellent and Nile Cruise superb. Tour guide Tarek was brilliant!
Fabulous tour, the tour guy (Tarak) was fantastic, knew everything and was very friendly and sociable, the coach driver (Anwar) was a great driver. All tours were well planned and on time. Excellent tour itinerary.
