Definitely have been more communicative and would have enjoyed it more had I been better prepared.

matthewrs, Jan 2020

My main issue was the lack of communication. Before arriving, I checked in just to ensure everything was received because I did not receive a single email from "Reflections" indicating confirmation of my itinerary nor what to expect upon arrival. After asking, I was told someone would meet me at the airport. Indeed, someone did, but my entire time over there was very stressful as it consisted of me constantly asking, practically begging, to know what was next and when. It's pretty bad business to not provide an itinerary in advance not to mention even after you are already there! When I arrived, someone indeed found me and got me to a hotel in Cairo. I was told to be in the lobby at 7am the next morning. Turns out, I was going to be taken to the Pyramids the next day. The guide for the day was great and, after that excursion was over, I was told to be in the lobby the following morning at 4:30am! Apparently, I had a flight at 5:55pm to Luxor. Again, none of this was communicated in advance and I had to consistently ask when/what to expect the following day. The next morning, someone took me to the airport but upon arriving in Luxor, there was no one there to greet me. All these other tour companies had signs and people to receive them but there were ZERO signs for "Reflections Travel". My phone did not work in Egypt and neither did my email for some reason so, thankfully, I was able to get someone else to reach them to be told someone was outside to retrieve. Still remains unclear as to why every other tour operator had a person with a sign inside yet theirs was the only one not to, nor did anyone tell me in advance to expect otherwise. Fresh the early morning flight, luggage in hand, I was told we were going directly on a tour. Again, no communication in advance, I hadn't eaten all day obviously, wasn't prepared for a tour and assumed we might go to another hotel first to drop off luggage, etc. but this was not to be the case. The guide and driver that day were very kind and stopped somewhere for me to eat/drink something before our tour but it seemed like very poor programming from the tour operator's standpoint. The tour that day was great as was my guide but then they dropped me off at this boat which was anything but a 5-star liner as advertised. The major complaint, first-world as it may sound, was no wi-fi at all. The hotel had it and, had I known this in advance, I could have invested in a substantial data plan to combat this issue but it was practically noon and I was dropped off on this boat in literally the middle of nowhere (imagine only rural farmland around) with the rest of the daylight wasted, nowhere to explore nearby, no wifi to pass the time. I walked all around where this ship was remotely docked and before having dinner on the ship. I asked my guide what was the expectation for the following day and he said he'd have to get back to me but to ask the front desk before bed that evening. Needless to say, this boat also got very cold at night, the cabin was cold in general, and the cabins did not have any heat which was necessary for chilly nights in December. Again, had I known all this advance, I might have had a more comfortable trip which is why I caution any who night book such a tour to a: invest in a data plan for when you're held captive on this boat for all those nights. b.) bring warm clothes in general for the boat/sleeping cabins. I was able to get an extra blanket for the bed which helped a lot c) expect to not know when/where your next excursion will be. The hotels all had wifi and things to do, nearby places to explore. The boat did not, was extremely limiting, expensive. They did not provide any beverages on the ship so everything was at an additional charge. Even water was charged at $4EGP/bottle whereas on the land, I got it for $.50EGP. I had great guides, if anything, I wish I had taken better advantage and more time at the sights and just wish the tour company had been A LOT more communicative. If you are better prepared than I, are not a solo traveler who felt bored and trapped as a result, invest in a data plan, you will probably enjoy the experience more.

Good Trip

SIG521, May 2019

To be clear, this was the 8 day 7 night tour with the 4 day Nile cruise. This is a good budget tour for people wanting to visit Egypt. Reflections tours are the coordinators of this tour. They meet you at the airport when you arrive and they get back to the airport for your departure for home. They also do not charge an additional fee for a solo traveller. One thing to be aware is that this tour covers day tours which end at about 1 to 3. Reflections offers additional tours, obviously at additional cost. And they offer more tours on the “open” day. I did 3 evening and a couple day tours.........which cost me about $500. But you need not do these. My two tour guides Mohamed (Cairo) and Youssef (Luxor and Aswan) were very good. They describe the sites well and took care of me during the tours. They are good people. They help you understand the culture and history; and inform you of the tourist traps. Youssef actually helped me when a vendor overcharged me. He went and got the overcharge back. Much thanks :) The 4 day Nile cruise is nice. It makes 3 stops. Food is decent and the staff are nice. Rooms are sufficient. The only complaint I have is that reflections changed my itinerary, hotel and Egypt flights and did not notify me. Even though things worked out fine, they should also ensure to communicate with the customers promptly of changes. Because of the changes I did not get my Felucca boat tour as part of the package. I had to pay extra on another tour. But I would definitely recommend this tour

la visite au musée,magnifique mais beaucoup trop rapide; le vol en montgolfière vraiment a beaucoup plu aux enfants petits et grands. un premier guide très intéressé par son travail et heureux de transmettre sa culture sur son pays;un deuxieme guide beaucoup moins bien organisé .(ex :nous avons du beaucoup patienté pour avoir tous les billets des entrées °)
