What people love about Historical Tours
Great experience with Timeless Tours for a 15 day private guided tour of Egypt. Hany helped me plan a tour to accommodate my father, who has some health issues, and we had no problems. We were immediately met at the airport and helped through the visa and border control process. We always had a air conditioned van where my father could take a break and rest if he needed to. Michael, our tour guide was amazing. Not only very knowledgeable, but also very accommodating of all the things we wanted to do. Not only was he helpful to my father, but also took me and my cousin out to experience some Egyptian night life in Luxor and Hurghada. On our last night on our trip, Michael and Hany helped me arrange a nice dinner on the Nile river in Cairo, as well as use of our driver and tour van to take us there free of charge. They really went above and beyond. We had an amazing trip, truly the trip of a lifetime. Timeless Tours and their staff were amazing. I'd highly recommend any of their tours through Egypt. We felt very safe and all of our need and were seen to.
Experience Egypt & Jordan – 5* Cruise
- Egypt Highlights
We loved the 14 day Egypt highlights tour. Best part of the tour was Peter our guide. He is very knowledgeable, thoughtful and funny. My husband got ill on the trip and Peter provided some miracle meds that helped him feel better. He also went out of his way to ensure our unique dietary requirements were met. He is a trained archaeologist so knows a lot about all the Ancient Egyptian sites. So if you get Peter as your guide you are in good hands. We loved the Nile Cruise which was truly a 5 star experience . Our only piece of feedback regarding the tour itself is accommodation could be a bit closer to town centres. Many thanks to Peter for an unforgettable experience
- Central Asia Tour 16 Days, Start in Almaty
We actually designed our 19 days 5 Stan private tour, very late in August 2024, for start on 5 of September 2924 from Almaty. Given the short time frame we were a bit apprehensive about it. But it was seamlessly organized by Odil, Khostorbek and their team at Steppe journeys. We also found the cost very reasonable given that they provided everything vehicle with driver, guide, accomodation, entry tickets, Air fares, all breakfasts and few main meals. We thoroughly enjoyed everything. We recommend everyone to use their local expertise in organising a trip of 5 Stan’s in Central Asia to suit their travelling style.
