    We had a fabulous trip with On-the-Go! Egypt is such a beautiful place, we thoroughly enjoyed the sights and learning about the culture. Highlights for us were definitely the Nile cruise and Abu Simbel – loved it! The sleeper train was also quite an experience on its own!! A special thanks must go to Rene Barnard (Flight Centre, SA) for the pre-holiday preps; as well as our tour guide Alam, and our Cairo rep Tom. Alam and Tom were extremely accommodating and made our Egyptian experience even more memorable from the minute we landed in Egypt until we left (thanks Tom). Alam ensured that we visited and shopped at reputable places, and was readily available to advise us when we were in need. Thanks for this Alam, and also for making sure that our special meals were catered for and provided. We were really lucky to be a part of quite a diverse and fun-loving tour group. We made lots of new friends, who we will certainly be keeping in touch with! We would not hesitate to recommend this particular tour to friends and family, and we will surely make use of On-the-Go tours in the future!

    To whom it may concern. Recently my wife and I returned from an “on the go” tour of Egypt. This was booked by a local Flight Centre in conjunction with “on the go” staff in Brisbane. On arrival in Cairo we were met by your representative,Medo. From then on everything was taken care of – every minor detail was attended to by him,including assisting with our luggage. Nothing was any trouble to this man who was always cheerful regardless of the time, day or night. We then met Hany,our tour leader/guide. From day one till the end of the tour we were thoroughly impressed with his attention to detail and his vast knowledge of Egypt. We could see that he was passionate about Egypt and his enjoyment of his profession showed through. You are to be congratulated for employing such excellent staff and we would have no hesitation in recommending your company to any one. Kindest regards,

    This was an incredible holiday for my wife and I. Everything was so professionally carried out by "On the Go" from our arrival at Cairo Airport, our first night's accommodation, and meeting our 6 other travelling companions. Then next morning meeting up with our Guide for the Tour, Saleeb who took us on a journey of discovery we would never have imagined. Saleeb made the tour an adventure from start to finish. We saw many wonderous sights, mixed with the Egyptian people where possible and the river cruise up the Nile to Aswan was one of the highlights of our trip. The structure of the tour allowed us rest and relaxation along the way and we never felt overwhelmed (other than the impressiveness of some of the temples, Abu Simbal in particular, the Spinx and pyramids of Giza)or pushed for time in any way. I would recommend this 10 day tour through Eypt to anyone and have done so since our return home. Now we are headed for another trip in September 2011 to Turkey with "On the Go" meeting up with our 2 Canadian friends whom we met on our trip through Egypt.

    THANK YOU!!!! We have just returned from an amazing experience with On the Go in Egypt on your Jewel of the Nile tour, starting on 16/10. Both Tom, who cheerfully, friendly and welcoming met us at the airport on arrival and took us back to the airport on our return, seeing us trough the check-in procedure, and Mohamed Alam, our tour guide simply made this trip for us! Alam was informed, thorough, courteous, helpful and kind throughout our tour; he was always available for us to answer questions, help us out of any misunderstandings with the Egyptians or just buy us all an ice cream or a banana if we were needing refreshment. Both his and Tom’s advice at the start of the tour were invaluable. We can’t speak highly enough of Alam’s ability to make us feel welcome and secure in what was, for us, a completely new place and culture. We found the whole to be a charming mix of holiday and adventure! Well done On the Go! And especial thanks, please, to Tom and Alam. PS Please tell Alam I have just found a photo of the mostly submerged Temple of Philae near Aswan taken by my grandfather in 1944! What a treasure that is now!
