    Was in the Egypt and the Contiki tour was scheduled to leave the next week. Wanted to see if there was any spots available but they would not look up to see if there was any seats available unless I paid in full. Stupidity I paid in full and then 2 days later they told me that the tour was full. I asked for a refund - they wanted to keep the money for another tour! The tour was over AUD $3000 and 1 month later, they still have not refunded the money. Contiki initially said 7-10 business days for a refund, then I had to chase them again, and then it was 21 days and the next email was 21 business days and now more than 1 month later, still no refund.

    Amazing experience. The best tour I have ever traveled on. My only strong recommendation is to include all the cost of extras into the main price as everyone seemed to take part in all the extras and it resulted in spending $400 extra when I arrived as I didn't want to miss out if everyone was taking part.

    A trip of a lifetime! Hands down one of the best trips I've ever been on. Egypt is a breathtaking experience. The trip really felt like I got to know true Egyptian and Ancient Egyptian culture. Sherif was amazing as a Trip Manager. Highly recommend this trip to anyone!

    Loved it! This trip was incredible! Firstly from my tour guide - Sherif such an amazing guide, so knowledgeable! He made the trip even better! To the number of things that you do in the short period of time, which was pretty crammed but definitely worth it seeing all the main sights. From catching an overnight train from Cairo - Aswan to cruising the Nile. The trip was amazing - Pyramids, Valley of the Kings, Abu Simbel, local villages & so so many more things to see. Before I went to Egypt I had no idea what to expect, but going on this trip was incredible and would 10/10 recommend for anyone whos looking to go to Egypt!
