Egypt, Jordan & Israel Luxury Tour Review: Historical Sites, Pyramids, Culture

We would include a little down time in the last day and city or one city towards the end to unwind and relax.  However there are several this that could or should be addressed by the tour groups. They are mostly in Israel:

The tour group swelled to 36 persons with 5 different hotel pick-ups.  At times more than an hour and an half was spent in a bus picking up the group.  In addition some were late which meant we waited. Likewise at the sites with this large group many were stragglers which we had to wait again for. This whole episode was very very frustrating!!!

We had to wait until noon for our transfer to Jordan from Israel, then when we arrived it was too late to do the itinerary. We have no idea why we had to sit in the hotel and wait until noon. Luckily our guide in Jordan set an early schedule and long hours so we did not miss anything. Great job in Jordan!!

One overall criticism is that there are many  optional items that  were not accounted for.  These extra costs were not fully listed prior to the tour and require local currency.  We were not prepared for all of the out of pocket costs.  More recommendations or guidelines need to be given.
