- Kathleen· December 24th, 2019Egypt was Breathtaking! It exceeded my expectations and beyond. Such a beautiful country filled with some much history and culture. I honestly cannot pick a favorite part to my trip, I loved every single minute of it. From seeing the Pyramids, The Sphinx, Valley of the Kings, Hatsepshut temple, sailing down the famous Nile river, having high tea at the Old Cataract Hotel and flying Abu Simbel it was just a dream vacation. Also, the Travel Director Assem was AWESOME! He was super knowledgable, funny, helpful and so passionate of his country. He really made our trip even more special. His storytelling made it more fun to learn and understand. Egypt is now on my go back list! Don't miss out on this special journey!Show moreInsight Vacations commented on this reviewThank you for informing us about the excellent time you experienced in Egypt with Insight Vacations.

- MMelissa· December 23rd, 2019Traveling to Egypt was an experience I’ll never forget. The destination is incredible and traveling with Insight Vacations made it all the more memorable. I can’t say enough about our itinerary which took us beyond traditional visits. Of course seeing the Pyramids of Giza was a dream come true, but there is so much more to this country, that, had I traveled on my own I would have never seen. Our Travel Direct and crew on the MS Media were phenomenal. The attention to detail, knowledge and passion were what made this trip so unique. The locals in Egypt are very friendly and though I’d hate to admit it, there is always concern when traveling (anywhere) but I felt incredibly safe and welcomed. I’d highly recommend this trip and urge you to travel to Egypt in the future. It is well worth it.Show moreInsight Vacations commented on this reviewIt certainly pleases us to hear that your time visiting the Wonders of Egypt with Insight Vacations exceeded all of your expectations.

- AAdamConsovoy· December 20th, 2019To say that this was the trip of a lifetime would be an understatement. I knew that this trip would include all of the famous sights you can find in any guide book, however, what I didn't expect was getting to dive headfirst in such an amazing culture. I would have never been able to scratch the service of all the amazing things we did on this tour if I had not traveled with Insight. The two highlights of our trip (beside the breathtaking ancient sights) were our high tea at the Cataract Hotel in Aswan and breaking bread with an Egyptian family in Luxor. I knew I would never be able to set something like this up on my own, and I am incredibly grateful for opportunity to say that I did these things. All my friends and family were so jealous of the photos I posted from these two experiences. Our Tour Director was first class from start to finish and made us feel like were were part of the family by the end of our trip. I know that I have made life long friends on my journey and I hope that this is first of many trips I take with Insight.Show moreInsight Vacations commented on this reviewThank you for sharing this with us, we are extremely pleased to know that you had an excellent time on the Wonders of Egypt trip with Insight Vacations.

- TTracyAldridge· December 13th, 2019I was a little apprehensive when initially considering this journey but I am so glad I traveled to Egypt with Insight Vacations! Every detail was handled to perfection. From acquiring the visa at the airport upon arrival to the very last luggage transfer, the professionals at Insight Vacations handled it all! Our Egyptologist, Assem, was beyond amazing in his knowledge of the history, culture and traditions of this indescribable place. Cairo was hectic as more than 20 million people are moving about but with our skilled and professional motorcoach operator onboard a brand new motorcoach we were protected from the chaos of the traffic. Of course the highlights of the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Museum and the incredible light show in the evening were bucket list experiences. Flying to Luxor to see the amazing Temple of Karnak and spending 4 nights on the MS Medea traveling up the Nile was incredible. The service aboard the Medea was truly world class. The staff was so attentive and the atmosphere so relaxed. I could spend weeks, not days sailing the Nile with that kind of service! The high tea at the Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan was also a highlight. I felt as if Agatha Christie were about to walk down from her room and join us. Finally, the optional experience to Abu Simbel was wonderful! Don't miss this highlight! Finally, I can't recommend this journey enough. If you want to experience the magic of an ancient civilization but do it with modern amenities, this is the company and the journey for you.Show moreInsight Vacations commented on this reviewIt certainly pleases us to hear that your time visiting the Wonders of Egypt with Insight Vacations exceeded all of your expectations.

- CClaireHanney· March 12th, 2019I can't say what I loved most about this trip. At first I was astounded by how Egyptian people are so friendly and keen to make sure that travellers felt at ease (except perhaps for market stall sellers who tend to be a little on the over-enthusiastic side!), but then I was awestruck by the breath-taking monuments all over the country that continue to be uncovered even to this day. The food was delicious (the buffets on the boat were incredible) and service spectacular. Our Travel Director was thoughtful, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and kind. The High Tea at the Old Cateract Hotel was truly a highlight, and the visit to the village bakery (Egyptian Village) gave us a wonderful chance to see how rural Egyptians live (what a wonderful family!!). I would do exactly the same trip all over again!Show moreInsight Vacations commented on this reviewWe are delighted to learn that your experience on the Wonders of Egypt tour exceeded all your expectations.
