The best part of using Travelous for our recent trip to Egypt is the detailed planning. There is no need to worry about travel details because everything is well thought out from the itinerary to moving through the airports to getting from place to place. I can't say enough about the knowledge of our guides for the daily site visits. The history came alive with the facts and stories our guides relayed to us throughout the trip. The guides displayed enthusiasm and layers of knowledge about Egypt history as well as patience to answer all of our questions. In Cairo we enjoyed getting to know our guide, Samah, as she shared information about life in Egypt. The airport representatives and drivers were fantastic. We really enjoyed our part of the journey on a Nile River cruise. If you choose to go to Abu Simbel please note that it is a very long day but the temple is amazing. We also thought the price of the trip was reasonable.

We had an excellent quick stay in Istanbul with two full days of sightseeing thanks to our amazing guide Sami. He knew the city incredibly well and the history of his homeland. He did not hesitate when we asked to adjust our schedule to see different parts of the city. The trip would not have been quite so special without his help.

Travelous made our trip unforgettable! Even when our airline caused us to miss a connection delivering us a day late to Cairo, Travelous was able to adjust our itinerary so that our family could still see the most important sites. And they scheduled our whole trip at the last minute when we decided to go just three weeks ahead of our departure date. The airport facilitator met us as we got off the plane and arranged our visas. Our guide was charming and extremely knowledgable and she was enthusiastic about making sure we got all the information about each site. And our driver had the patience of a saint dealing with Cairo traffic. I cannot say enough positive things about our trip in the hands of Travelous. I know this is such a glowing review that you may think I am related to someone in the company. No, I found them on line and was impressed after my conversation with the owner, Chris Bazos. Wishing you all a similar experience in Cairo. Kate

Travelous was absolutely exceptional in every manner. Chris who arranged the 10 day trip, our airport representative Hesham, Luxor and aswan representatives and most importantly Ahmed (Lamey) were fantastic. Ahmed was with us the entire trip, always had a smile and upbeat personality, made our teenage daughters laugh and is a true professional. He’s such a great guy, as is everyone I mentioned. True professionals. One of the great experiences we had was a home cooked meal in Aswan at the house of a local pharmacist and his family. The food was incredible and the family a complete joy. Another was enjoying Turkish coffee with 6 spices made by an older gentleman on the side of the nile in Aswan in a remote hut like setting. It was super cool and tranquil.

We had a wonderful trip to Egypt. Each day was jampacked with sightseeing tours, led by a very knowledgeable tour guides. We were very well taken care of, and our tour guides were very attentive. My only complaint is that we had very little interaction with Egyptians other than our tour guides. I would have liked to have a little more of a cultural experience and gotten to speak and interact with locals.

Our trip to Egypt was organized perfectly. Not a single issue with itineraries or guides.

What an amazing trip to Egypt with Travelous. They took any stress and guess work away so we could focus on our experience.
