This was a great experience. The communication from the company was excellent throughout. Our guides were always knowledgeable, and it made the experience much better having a private guide or being in small groups.
The highlight of our trip to Egypt was the truly excellent, professional, and first-class service we received from our guide (and now, friend) Ebtesam. is a true expert on ancient Egyptian history and culture. He also was a fantastic person to navigate us around the hectic cities and sites along the Nile. I cannot imagine our trip without Ebtesam He was everything–and more–that we hoped our guide would be for this once in a lifetime trip. THANK YOU, Ebtesam. Looking forward to seeing you again one day–either back in Egypt or the USA! Best wishes,
Excellent idea! Unique experience thanks to the help of Ebtesam and her guidance. She made a BIG difference and it would have not been the same without her. The cruise offered amazing accommodations and food. They all made trips our relatively short trip to Egypt perfect. We visited every single temple with our amazing tour guide who knew every single detail and genuinely wanted us to learn. Great experience!
