If you are lucky enough to get Hany as your leader in Egypt, you won't be disappointed. He is more than a leader, he is a good friend who ensures you experience the best trip possible. No issue was too hard for him...he would try his best to fix it. He so obviously enjoyed his work as a tour leader and very passionate about his country and history. Thank you Hany for giving us the best experience in your amazing country.

I thoroughly enjoyed this 21-day premium Egypt and Jordan tour. I have learned so much about Egyptian and Jordan’s history, culture, and of course, the delicious local food! Many thanks to our wonderful guide Hassaan in Egypt and Mo in Jordan! The only Inadequate part was some of the accommodations are not up to the premium standards.

Excellent company, this was an amazing trip one of the best trips I’ve ever had, the team leaders were amazing and the itinerary was excellent, the accommodations and transport were very nice and comfortable. In terms of safety I felt very safe not once was safety a concern.

A very good trip which I really enjoyed. The trip leaders made me feel welcome and safe and answered all the questions that I had. Some of them hotels were disappointing for a premium trip but overall all were clean and tidy.

Excellent trip and really well looked after by our trip leaders, Mohammed (Egypt) and Eyad (Jordan) who were very knowledgeable, considerate of the groups needs, and really kind when we needed individual help. A special thanks to Mohammed for going the extra mile in helping me when my mum was unwell and helping me find a new suitcase when mine broke!
