The trip was awesome! Every place I’ve wanted to see for decades was seen, every experience I’d hoped for was done. The pace was great, with plenty of free time. I personally found the Egypt ‘G for Good’ experience the best. The CEOs were knowledgeable and patient.

Knowledgeable and Friendly Guides

We were a family of 4 that did 10 days in Egypt and had the best time. We really recommend the tour company. We felt safe and taken care of the whole time. They made traveling really easy, we had nothing to plan and coordinate, and we had freedom to decide what we wanted to prioritize. The whole staff was very professional and informative. Recommended hotels were great. Before arriving, the booking agent really made great research and follow-ups for us. And when there was the need to make some small changes she did so quickly and effectively. On arrival to Egypt we were catered to hand and foot. Knowledge and friendly guides that are really looking for you to experience the best of it all. Note we had over 20 people with us between reps, drivers and guides. Preparing to tip everyone was an interesting task. Follow the recommendation given by your booking agent, but always practice your own discretion.
