This is the best tour we have ever been on! We are still in awe over the entire experience :)
From the minute we landed and were picked up at the airport by our guide John, we felt completely and utterly spoilt and were able to instantly relax and enjoy our adventure as it was clear that everything had been so thoroughly taken care of.
The cruise ship (Steigenberger REGENCY) that we were sailing on had everything you could possibly want - a peaceful evironment with many areas to chill (the rooftop & pool were our favourite!) and clean and spacious rooms, delicious food plus a lovely, friendly, attentive staff.
We love to explore and travel but there is no way we would have ever been able to make such an incredible itinerary fit into 5 days on our own and travelling down the nile by boat was the perfect way to see as much as possible.
Along with this being a once in a life time trip, our guide John made it 10000 times better than we could have ever dreamed of! The tour itself was unlike anything else we had experienced before - we were plesently surprised and excited when we realised how intimate the guiding was going to be. It was a private tour, so there was no giant coaches, rushing site to site and waiting on other strangers. Instead, the tour was much more flexible and we had a lot more freedom to personalise the itinerary. John's knowledge of all the sites and history was impeccable and we were able to ask as many questions as possible. It was also really nice to get to know John as a local Luxor resident, and we felt like he added a personal insight to Egypt that was invaluable and something we wouldn't get on all tours.
Thankyou Journey to Egypt & especially John for the most incredible and fun holiday! ???????????????? We wish we could do it all over again!!!!
