  My husband and I just got home from an amazing trip to Egypt and Jordan with on The Go Tours. The tour was called Festive Road to Jordan. We cannot say enough good things about our Egypt portion tour guide Momo. He kept us on schedule so we could see everything and also gave us as much extra time as we wanted it places. Our group became Family! We have been on several other tours with other companies and it was by far the best. All aspects and expectations were met. We always felt safe and knew what the plan was when we were in Egypt. One example of how Momo went above and beyond was when we were in Hurghada on our Red Sea snorkeling tour. This was not an on the go tour but add on optional tour with a supplier. We did the first of what was supposed to be two snorkels and were then told the second would not be available. Disappointed we texted Momo and 15 minutes later the captain told us we were getting our second snorkel. Every hotel was clean with good food and friendly staff. The knowledge and enthusiasm Momo has for Egypt really makes a difference in the experience. He had us in interactive plays teaching us history and keeping us engaged. One thing I would say is to be sure, and bring lots of five Egyptian pounds for the toilet and your own tissue. We feel like we have a much better understanding of Egyptian culture and history after taking this tour. We had a great pre-day doing the back streets of Cairo with Shariff (spelling?) the crowds are energetic, busy and packed wall-to-wall, but you still feel safe and we had a great time bargaining. We rode the camels in front of the pyramids of Giza went inside a pyramid, the GEM was closed still but we did get to go to the old museum. Very interesting. We took the Nile cruise upgrade, which was absolutely amazing with great views of the Nile as we sailed down. We took a small boat to see Phelia temple, saw Abu Simbel, did Luxor at night, which was so much prettier than Luxor at day, and Karnak. We then flew to Ammon and spent a few days at Petra. One thing I would add be sure and bring a heavy coat, hat and gloves for Petra and Wadi Rum. There was a lot of rain and fog at Petra so we missed our second night because they closed the trail. We did get a full day at Petra and hiked up the 950-ish steps to the monastery. There were amazing views along the way. The transportation to Wadi Rum did not look very inviting at first being benches in the back of pick up trucks but they were actually very comfortable and a lot of fun. Wadi Rum night luxury camp was our home for one night. They told us this was the first time they were using this camp. I would highly recommend it absolutely Glamping then onto the Dead Sea. Some of the longer bus rides we caught up on sleep learned things about the country and got to see some great scenery. We will definitely do this trip again.

  When we started our tour we were spoilt with the BEST EVER TOUR GUIDE, Big Mo , you are a legend! We had such a good time with him. He informed us of all the pro's and con's such as how much to pay for certain things and what not to miss out on. He also provided us with in-flight entertainment on the train from Cairo to Aswan by recording someone snoring and playing it back when she woke up. His knowledge on Egyptology was excellent!

  We want you to know that we are very pleased with the quality of service your company provides in particular out deepest gratitude to the tour guides, Sheriff, Ehab (in Egypt) and Okla (in Jordan) for providing such an informative, enjoyable and fun facts to all the wonderful monuments we had visited during our tour. They have consistently made extra efforts to assist us in any way possible to make our holiday hassle and stress free. Our deepest gratitude to all the background staff for their coordination and logistic efforts to ensure that we didn't have to wait to check in to our hotel room nor wait in queues to buy tickets (i can recall that we only have to carry our own bags on 3-4 occasions, and my wife certainly appreciated it).

  The Egypt section was excellent. Our guide was very thoughtful of our needs and went to amazing lengths to help everyone in the group (we were 9) with individual needs. He was also careful of us in the heat.

  Thank you on the go for the awesome trip! The tour was very well structured and we finished it feeling mind blown and at our hearts content. Our tour leader Amer is what would make us believe ON THE GO is the way to go! The felluca was a bit too much for me , if it was just one night could be better. However, our guide made up for it with his funny company and amount of knowledge and passion about Egypt . We felt like we got more than what we paid for from day 1 as we were getting a uni lecture at each site. He even created little activities for us everyday to enjoy and remember the history of Egypt better.

  Mido was our guide through Egypt. He has great knowledge to share with his groups and made our tour so much fun. Everyday seemed more amazing than the next visiting some unbelievable sites. I enjoyed learning from Mido about each of the sites and he was able to answer any questions put to him by the group. We were really well looked after and always felt completely safe and at ease. Mido was very approachable and would help us with any concerns we were having, he always made himself available to us. He offered to help us barter at the markets and made sure we always ate in good restaurants. On our Alexandria day trip Mido practically asked every person walking by for directions to the Church where my friends grandparents were married. He was unwilling to give up, and thank goodness we finally found it, but I do think he went above and beyond what most people would have done to get us there!

  I have just ended my tour of Egypt (Road to Jordan) and just want to thank the organisers of the trip and the tour leaders (Waleed, Mustafa and Ogla[?])for a great time in Egypt/Jordan. Their expert advice (of historical importance plus advice on travelling in Egypt (eg recommending restaurants) as well as sense of fun helped make this trip an experience I will never forget.

  First and foremost, the organisation, the hotels and transport were first class. Infact, the hotels surpassed the level I was expecting to find in Egypt. Also, please encourage people who go to Egypt with you to head into Jordan. They are truly missing out on seeing an amazing part of the world. This was my second trip with On the Go and I would definitely go with you again as you offer great value for money and the organisation and guides are second to none. I would and already do recommend On the Go to anyone who talks to me about my travels.
