We are from New Zealand and completed the 8 day Luxury Egypt tour in April 2019 with our 15 yo daughter. The entire trip was simply amazing and the team from Vacations to Go made it feel so safe, easy and so informative. It was really well organised and all our guides and company representatives where amazing; Michael who met us as we got off the plane and guided us through the chaotic Cairo Airport, Bassam was our Cairo guide and was so knowledgeable on the pyramids and guided us through the old Egyptian museum, and Mansour who met us in Luxor and was with us on the cruise through to Aswan were all simply outstanding and so knowledgeable. We stayed at the Meridian Pyramid View hotel on our arrival and then the Kempinski Nile hotel Cairo on our return, both which were excellent. Our Nile cruise boat was the Crown Emperor and was more like a 3+ star boat but was adequate. We booked on the 'private and small group' version of the tour and were lucky to have the guide all to ourselves in Cairo and then were joined by another couple for the rest of the tour so was a lovely small group of 5. Magdy and the team were very flexible and accommodating with variations to the schedule and we even made it back to the Egyptian museum on our last day for a 2nd visit on our own. My daughter, wife and I all had an amazing adventure and hope to make it back again some day!
