Egypt

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

This travel team and our trip planner orchestrated an amazing family trip to Egypt. From our landing in Cairo, travel to Giza, boarding of a Nile cruise and return flights to Cairo--- all were handled professionally and with precision. The hotels, airport representatives, tour vans, tour guides and drivers were generally outstanding. The built in free time was also well thought out. Coordination during the busiest time for touring Egypt (between Christmas and the New Year) was also much appreciated.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

The best parts of the trip were seeing the pyramids in Giza as well as the visit to Luxor and the various tombs we visited (the Queen Nefertari tomb was particularly stunning). It was of course mind-blowing and amazing to tour structures that were created 2500-4500 years in an era with out modern machinery or engineering in place. The vans used to transport us were of high quality and spacious. The Tour guides are also well educated (often carrying a doctorate) and provided very important background information. Great tour guides are essential to appreciate the antiquities and structures of Egypt.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

The Nile river cruise from Luxor to Aswan was perhaps not ideal. The food and facilities on the boat were sub-par. The cruise was a bit long and there were not many things to do while on the boat (and the day tours while on the boat were short). Wifi was both costly and patchy at best. We may have preferred a larger boat with more activities but this may not be possible with a river cruise. Families may have be more comfortable staying in hotels in Luxor and Aswan and covering the trip between with a van.
