  Really enjoyed being in a small group instead of a traditional large group and our guide was great. This was a fast, hit-the-high points type of tour which is what we wanted; but, didn't really get to spend too much time at any one place. Didn't care for the hotel we were based out of - the rooms didn't have opaque walls between the bedroom and bathroom, just glass that was partly translucent; and, the hotel was a long ways away from everything.

  Well-organized trip with lots of highlights visited. Not for late risers. Our guide Mo and the Ciconi team were always keen to take all wishes into account and make the vacation unforgettable. The accommodation was good value for money and the food was very good. A clear recommendation!

  Amazing experience. The ‘Best of Egypt’ tour was the experience of a lifetime. Our guide Mo Farid was brilliant, friendly and most informative. He made us feel safe and comfortable. So much would have meant nothing without Mo. His sense of humour, passion for his country and extensive knowledge made our trip very special. Thanks ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! The communications with Ciconia were great and immediate. The airport transfers relatively smooth and anything that delayed or inconvenience us had more to do with the Tourism Police than with our driver. The tour itself is very intense with very little if any down time; late nights and early mornings are the norm. Be prepared for an exhausting trip. Having said that, obviously Ciconia has made sure that as many significant highlights are included and of course there are sooooo many!! I am sure complaint would be made if any of the sites and experiences were missing. Accommodation was good both at the Crowne Plaza and on the MS Tulip - the service exceptional. The hotel is quite some way from Downtown Cairo and the airport so be prepared to spend sometime in traffic. There appears to be better cruisers on the Nile but the Tulip was more than adequate. Frankly, I would have been happy to have more time relaxing by the pool on it. Highlights - everything?! 😄 Hard to top the Pyramids and Sphinx, the ballon ride nonetheless was up there. I highly recommend it. No complaints. The Best of Egypt was just perfect. Do not hesitate to book it.

  The Ciconia tour was excellent in all regards. There was superb food on both the cruise and at the Crown Plaza Hotel. Our guide, Adham, did a superb job in every respect.

  This was a great trip, including all the major sites in Upper as well as Lower Egypt (as far as Cairo). A huge advantage was the small group size (7 people) and our own wonderful guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, yet with a good sense of humor, always patient and considerate. As I am older (86) than the other members, I was given special care, including a wheelchair from the boat in particular locations, just to enable me to keep up with the others and not miss out on anything. Service everywhere was excellent, both on the boat and in the hotel, although the hotel's location made it necessary to travel across Cairo for longish periods through the traffic. Egyptians everywhere were friendly and helpful. Although the weather was hot, all activities were timed suitably, so it was not really a problem. Everybody in our group was healthy and very happy and we gelled together well.

  Adham is a very knowledgeable guide. It would have been nice if tour was a slower pace as there was so much to take in. Shopping? It would be nice to have a relaxed shopping trip away from local markets
