I have been many places in my life...

Bronwyn Z, May 2016

I have been many places in my life with many different tour groups and I can say with the utmost confidence that this tour with this tour company was the most amazing trip I have ever been on. I will start this off by saying, go to Egypt. It is absolutely safe, at no point did my wife and I feel like were in danger or even the slightest bit worried. The trip started off with the company meeting us as we were walking off the airplane and took care of everything for us we would have been lost, Cairo Airport is hectic. They took us to an amazing hotel with the most spectacular view of the pyramids everywhere we stayed was amazing, the company set us up with the best rooms in every location. When our tours started the next day, nothing could have prepared us for the majesty and size of the temples and the pyramids. The guides were incredibly knowledgable and answered every question that we had. My favorite part had to be the cruise, the boat itself was luxurious and everyday was filled with a new adventure the cruise was brand new, built only in October of the previous year and the staff was amazing. This tour company gave us the most amazing trip of our lives and I cannot recommend this tour highly enough. If you go to Egypt, take this tour and you will be satisfied beyond your wildest dreams. Everyday was an adventure and we will remember this for the rest of our lives.

Wonderful tour all the way around...

Sabrina W, Apr 2016

Wonderful tour all the way around! Very professional and smoothly operated. At each stop we had a representative, private guide, and private driver. Every person was so helpful, knowledgable, friendly, etc. they made the trip memorable. We spent three nights in Cario seeing the sights, then flew to Luxor to see the sights and board our Nile cruise. We stayed in the Movenpick at Giza when we were in Cairo and the Nile Dolphin for the river cruise. We spent three nights on the cruise and stopped at various sights along the way. After the cruise we flew to Abu Simbel for a tour and then flew back to Cario for our last night. Our last night we stayed at Le Passage near the airport in Cairo. Wonderful experience that we absolutely loved and would book with Vacations to Go again in a heartbeat!
