    I kept my expectations low because of everything we heard of Egypt on social media. However, I was gladly impressed by the sites and tour guides through out the whole trip. This was a unique life experience about ancient Egypt and modern Egypt.

    Great value for money, great cruise and hotels were lovely. Would highly recommend. Be prepared to have money for entry fees and tips but even with this it is probably cheaper and better value for money than most other companies. Do not go on any horse carriages or camels as it is cruel and the treatment of the animals is horrendous over Egypt and tourists should not be contributing to this, glad that we did not do this on the tour. We were all really impressed and had a great experience on this tour in Egypt.

    Tour guides and the people who organize it are great. Full of knowledge very reliable and will do as much as they can to help you. The tour in there summer is very hot but less crowded. So prepare so extreme temps in the afternoon. Be prepared to pay for extras when you get to the tour as of tip and the major attractions. And water! Yes you have to buy all your water on the bus and tour. 1 us per bottle. You'll drink alot in there desert heat!

    Great tour, all the guides were excellent, going out of their way to ensure we enjoyed the trip. The Accomodation was excellent in Cairo and Hurghada was amazing- they were a little further out from the main towns but still lovely. The cruise down the Nile was very enjoyable. The whole trip has made us want to come back again and explore more of Egypt especially the Red Sea areas.
