    The overall experience was really great … it was action packed and at a fast pace… at times a little frantic for a couple of 65 year olds … the very early starts were tough but on the plus side the guides in Egypt were caring and tried to accommodate our requests with a number of unexpected upgrades. On the other hand the Turkey tour operator were poor communicators and we often felt like our itinerary was changed to suit their convenience, not ours. All that said it was an experience of a lifetime and I would recommend this trip to anyone with a bit of fortitude!

    I was impressed with how smoothly your operation runs. Communication was very good. A few suggestions to improve this tour: When there are different groups traveling by train and plane from Cairo to Aswan it would be best to pick up the train group first and then the people at the hotel. The train schedule is unreliable and we sat and waited almost 3 hours at the train station. Collecting $75 per person for tips in Egypt did not seem to work very efficiently. For example on the Nile cruise the porters were expecting a tip and were not happy with us when we told them our guide had money for the tips. It was most uncomfortable. Staying one less day in Hurghada would have been preferable. That would have given us more time to recuperate from traveling to Istanbul. Since we had not slept in over 24 hours we were not able to fully participate in the included tour. It was disappointing to miss out and there was little time to spend in Istanbul.

    This is the way to see this part of the world as first cut . So many things you always hoped to see and a whole lot of places you never heard of which are as good or better. The guides are all knowledgeable, flexible and helpful. Great experience.

    I Loved the small group tour of just 6 travellers ,I travel A LOT and this trip was beyond everything I expected. The hotels where we stayed were very nice and clean, All the buses which we used for transportation were private because we were just small group and that make us feel comfortable because of Covid-19 pandemic. I loved the food and meals during this holiday, it is very tasty and fresh. the sightseeing and the itinerary was a wonderful mix of culture, adventure, and relaxation. Ayman from Egypt was a knowledgeable guide and passionate about his country and also Karim from Turkey. . Highly recommend!

    The Hayabiya tour in Egypt was fantastic, everything the guide Well, the food, the crew at the cruise, the environment in general. Everything we can say the best of Egypt ??. We recommend the best to go in that private cruise in the Nile River.

    Had a great time at both destinations. Very well planned. Ayman in Egypt and Sedef in Turkey have been very helpful. They kept updating the next day's schedule on WhatsApp, Where to wait, what is the pickup time, they were sending planes, train tickets a day before. Tour guides were very knowledgeable, They are very knowledgeable in the history of the countries they live in. Hotels were superb, well located, and all hotels included breakfast. You can buy this tour with peace of mind. Nothing to worry about. They do everything for you. Highly recommended
