I did my first Insight Vacation in Egypt and wasn't sure what to expect. They are top shelf! Every whim of some rather demanding people in our group was met with a smile and no problem. The knowledge of Akron our guide who said we should not focus on him but he really was amazing! The people of Egypt are warm and the country overwhelmingly exotic with thousands of years or preserve history. Put this on your bucket list. You won't regret it and the Insight teamwill take are of every little detail, and yes we were quite safe. always. Our guide Akron was simply incredible!
