Four of us have just returned from a 21 day journey through Egypt and Jordan, arranged and orchestrated by Travelous. It was one of the most interesting and rewarding travel experiences I have participated in Why? 1. Trip preparation Our initial contact was with Chris Brazos. Chris through a series of e-mails and phone calls reviewed our requests providing pros and cons for each item. Where possible, alternative options/solutions for things that would have been difficult to deliver given time constraints, were provided. The end result was a carefully crafted itinerary that ticked almost all the boxes for requests made by us. 2. The itinerary went off without a hitch. Accommodation and restaurants were excellent. Pick ups and visit to sites was on time every day. Some flexibility was required eg GEM still not open but adjustments were made and everything worked out well. 3. People on the ground. The group of people that Travelous works with are amazing. They are very professional, calm and reassuring as well as very personable. The airport assistance, the drivers and most importantly the guides were superb. Compliments to Samer, Hanah and Samah in Cairo, Tarik in Luxor and Aswan, Mohammed in Abu Simbel and Anas in Jordan. So good! Minor cons. The time in Abu Simbel is rushed due airline scheduling. Don’t know what if any other options exist to make this more relaxing. The drive from Luxor to Aswan with stops at temples and lunch at The Mud House is a long day. However the stop at the Mud House is a must. As Chris said “it will be the best meal you’ll have in Egypt” and it was. So much to see and do and so little time to do it all. Thank you Travelous for your caring approach to seeing the world.

Jimmy certainly enjoyed is latest trip to Egypt! Excellent tour guides, drivers, restaurants, hotels,etc.

When you know that the path to success is to implement every agreement made with people whose word is a contract to be implemented, then you are in safe hands. This is the truth when dealing with Trustpilot.

Every detail was planned to perfection! Our guides were the most amazing, profoundly brilliant, caring teachers! The drivers were wonderful attentive and kind! Our airport Reps were so helpful and knowledgeable! Every person we encountered made us feel so very cared for! This was the trip of a lifetime and I can’t imagine doing it any other way! They made every moment so perfect! We felt like VIPS at every point! Hotels were first class! Restaurants were amazing! Nothing but rave reviews!!!

Everything was precisely organized and our private tour was excellent. They were great at planning, adjusting as needed, and meeting our goals.

5-star trip to Egypt and Jordan! Read the numerous other reviews about Travelous here on Trustpilot and you'll get a good sense of the company's approach to travel to these two countries. Very busy itineraries, end-to-end coordination of travel details, high-end accommodations, and the opportunity to customize the travel as desired. There is so much to see and do in Egypt, particularly, that it's easy to place your trust in the company and jump blindly into what they suggest (and honestly if you do you'll be very happy), but you can really fine-tune the trip if you do some research beforehand and know exactly what you want (and don't want) to see. Travelous is eager to set up the trip you want, and the on-site guides aren't afraid to adjust things on the fly. Samer, the airport facilitator in Cairo, was an unexpected godsend who made our transition from Egypt to Jordan easy, despite a significant Egyptair flight delay and the need to change terminals in Cairo. Hanan and Lamey, our guides in Cairo and Luxor, were outstanding. Wadi Rum, in southern Jordan, turned out to be unexpectedly stunning (watch Lawrence of Arabia and/or The Martian before you go).

Our trip to Egypt was perfect- expert guides, drivers and airport reps. Our guides took us into tombs that others didn’t get to see, we had lunch in a private home with an Egyptian family, we had Nubian coffee made the old way, by a Nubian man, on the banks of the Nile. Everything went so smoothly. The timing was perfect too …our guides had us in temples, pyramids and tombs without crowds. I will use Travelous in the future and I have advised friends and family to do the same. Chris Bazos made all the arrangements for us. Our guides were Noha and Atef.

The guides, the airport reps and the drivers were all amazing and went above and beyond to accommodate all our wishes. They made our bucket list birthday trip truly a memorable experience for once in a lifetime tour. All the guides were so knowledgeable and friendly. They kept telling us it was our tour and we could made it whatever we desired so many great little touches.
