- 15 Days Ancient Egypt & Lake Nasser Cruise
On our Egypt Tour and Nile Cruise we had an extremely wonderful time. The representatives, guides, and drivers your company provided were extremely professional and courteous at all times. The information you provided about Egypt upon arrival was extremely helpful, especially the extra activities and tipping information. When touring in a foreign country one of the most difficult things to know is how much to tip each individual you deal with. The information about walking around the streets was extremely helpful also. We tried to learn a few Arabic words but our foreign language skills are minimal at best. The two guides you provided had a real love for Egypt and it's history. This was evident anytime they spoke with us about the sites we visited. We learned alot about Egypt present and past from these two gentlemen. The guides also provided a lot of good information about places to buy some good quality gifts. They were very flexible, able to change the schedule on the fly to make sure we saw and did everything we were scheduled to do and at the same time help us with any extra activities we wanted to do. The sites were beautiful, the camel ride was fun, and the Nile cruise was very relaxing. We really enjoyed our time in Egypt, met many interesting people and would very much like to visit again as there are still a lot of things to see and learn. Thanks again for a wonderful time, you all were the best. Thank You, Bobby and Debra Carroll
