  The Israel part of the tour was excellent. We had done the Holy Land tour previously as a pilgrimage with another group. This tour complimented that experience. Our guide, Mark, was excellent. We especially appreciated that he was easy to understand, had complete control of the group, and was completely honest in discussing the current political/social situation facing the country. Similarly, the Jordan part of the tour was great. Aladan was a great guide. We especially appreciated his advice on how to avoid the pitfalls of dealing with vendors. He was easy to understand, and very knowledgeable. We were surprised in Egypt that we wound up with Sylvia tours. We were not prepared for having essentially a private tour. But Sylvia tours was excellent. The accommodations were very good, including the boat on the Nile. We could have used a little more information about tipping on the boat, as well as about the need to have cash to pay the entry fee into Egypt. Our guide, Shadie, made up for his difficulty in communicating in English with his enthusiasm and warm personality. We especially appreciated the assistance of Sylvia personnel in helping us around the airports—Mohammad was especially helpful in Cairo. The facilities were excellent in Egypt.

  The tour was good. The tour guides Uri, Saar, Arkman and Zach were really knowledgable and very helpful. The hotels are nice and clean. The need to pick up members of the goup in different hotels cuts down on our tour time. The long gaps between each domestic flights are less admirable. We had to idle and wait for 7-8 hours for our flight to Cairo and to Aswan and back to Cairo. The flight back to Cairo from Luxor should be on the mid afternoon flight. We didn't arrive back to Cairo till after midnight and had to take an early am flight back to London. This left us no time to rest and have a proper sleep which was badly needed since the whole group got infected and sick from the couple Kurtiss and Christy Sandhoff of California. We are extremely upset that the couple knew ahead of the trip that they had been infected with RSV. Yet, they knowingly boarded the plane, got on the bus and joined the tour without wearing any masks! Mr Sandhoff had been hacking and coughing continuously with productive phlegm from day 1 of the tour and he didn't even put on a mask. They have zero regard for the other members of the group. They were very selfish had the ill intent of infecting everyone in the group. They complained about every little thing and were extremely rude. The whole group finally got infected at different stages of the tour. Some of us got very sick and had to miss part of the tour in Egypt. At this moment, 2 of the members of the group tested positive for COVID! We do not know for sure if the Sandhoff's only had RSV, maybe they had Covid too when they joined the tour. This makes me very upset and mad about the whole situation. We started the tour happy and healthy and we ended up sick and upset. I strongly urge your company to implement stronger measures to prevent this from happening again. That couple, Sandhoff's should be held responsible for causing the spread of their infection to the group. They should be reported to the CDC. And who knows how many other people on the planes got infected too?
