Travelous was wonderful to work with. We had them help us plan a trip to Portugal for the first time. From the rides to various destinations to the incredible accommodations, everything was amazing. Local tour guides met us everyday to educate and explore. The cost was very reasonable. I will definitely use Travelous for future travel.

I 100% recommend Travelous to manage your trip to Egypt. We did a 10 day private tour. It took us through Cairo and everything between Aswan and Luxor. We weren't sure that we'd be able to see everything we wanted in only 10 days, but Chris and the Egypt Travelous crew put together an awesome tour for us. Our Egyptologist tour guides (Iman in Cairo, and Tarek in Upper Egypt) were amazing. We couldn't stump them with any of our questions, they were so knowledgeable! You can tell that they really love what they do. They are great people, we loved hanging out with them. The same is true for the tour managers Hesham, Hamada, and Abdul. They really went out of their way to make sure all of our needs were taken care of. I will be wholeheartedly recommending that my friends not only go to Egypt, but utilize Travelous on their adventures, and you should, too. You will not be disappointed! Thank you Travelous for making our trip the best it could have possibly been! ~ Michael

We were very pleased with our recent trip to Egypt/Jordan arranged by Chris. We hoped for the trip of a lifetime and Chris and Travelous did not disappoint. Our guides were knowledgeable and a real pleasure to be with. The drivers were all very professional and safe. The airport reps made our arrivals and departures a breeze. The hotels were top notch. Chris does an excellent job of planning and executing a travel experience where you not only see the destination but you experience the people, the cultures, the foods and customs. We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We highly recommend Chris and Travelous. We plan to use Travelous again for our next international trip.

Recently traveled to Egypt with an itenerary set up by Travelous. Could not be happier with the level of service they provided. We were expertly Shepard Ed by competent staff and our guides were very knowledgeable and engaged the entire trip. Accommodations were above expectations. They also provided some experiences off the beaten path of the usual temples and pyramids one expects to see in Egypt. First time we used this agency, but will certainly be booking future trips with them!

I just returned from a 10 day female-solo traveler trip to Egypt with Travelous. It was a dream vacation: the itinerary was excellent (Thank you Chris), all Travelous personnel were professional, courteous and very knowledgeable, and all the hotels and restaurants were outstanding. I had the bucket list Egyptian trip that I was hoping for and then some. My personal guides Samah in Cairo and Tarik in Luxor/Aswan were both highly trained, knowledgeable, friendly and fun to be around. They treated me like family and I learned a lot from them. Similarly, the airport reps Samer, Hamada, and Mohamed made travel easy and helped me immediately when I needed support. I cannot imagine driving in Egypt with the wide spectrum of transportation methods on the somewhat poorly maintained roads (from walkers to horse carts to cars to huge Mercedes trucks). All the drivers got me to every location promptly and safely. I fell like I made a lot of new friends in Egypt and loved the people, food and culture. I felt safe at all times. I would highly recommend using Travelous and hope to travel with the company again soon.

We're regular travelers and have usually handled booking/reservations for our trips. But we knew that a bucket-list trip to Egypt/Jordan needed help. We are beyond happy with the team at Travelous. From start to finish they basically took care of EVERYTHING. Their guides were phenomenal and truly seemed to take pleasure in making sure we got a full picture of the places we visited... from sharing about history, taking us to restaurants and places that normal tourists don't get to see, etc. The drivers were experts and each person went out of their way to pamper us and make the trip a wonderful adventure. A word of warning: once you work with Travelous you will want them to take care of all your trips. I mean it. They are just that good. There's a level of personal attention and care that is beyond anything we've experienced and now we're talking about our next adventure with them. We don't love doing "group" travel and this was perfect for our needs. We felt safe and protected. We had contact with them 24/7. They anticipated so many needs and already had them sorted before we thought to ask. Simply wonderful company. Would recommend 1000%.

Sophia helped me out so much. Made it easy

We just concluded a 2-week private trip to Egypt with Travelous and cannot say enough about the extraordinary experience. We worked with Chris Bazos to plan our trip and right from the beginning his professionalism, patience and eagerness to help, impressed us. Through numerous emails and phone calls, he guided us (tempering our enthusiasm where necessary) to craft an itinerary that let us cover a great number of sites comfortably. His expertise was particularly handy given family members flew in and out of Egypt at different times and dates! The flexibility with payments, COVID related guarantees and finally the detailed organization of the trip through the Travel app is the best we have seen so far. Finally, the hour long pre-trip conference call, answering all our last minute questions and providing us with vital tips, put us completely at ease. The Travelous team on the ground was fantastic. (We have traveled quite a bit around the world - so we know quality when we see it). From the moment we landed in Cairo till we boarded our flights back home, the team was on top of every move. They proactively managed every aspect of the trip - hotel pick ups, ordering packed lunches for day trips, ensuring timely check-ins for domestic flights and so much more. Hesham, our primary contact in Cairo kept checking with us constantly till we landed back in the US. All of the ground representatives and drivers (Cairo, Luxor, Aswan, Hurghada) provided excellent service. When it came to the guides, we could not have been happier. Eman (Cairo and Alexandria) and Tarik (Luxor to Aswan) were fabulous. Their knowledge and eagerness to educate us as they walked us through the sites revealed an Egypt that enthralled us. Tarik went out of the way to make last minute changes to the itinerary to make it easier for us to cover Luxor before boarding the cruise. He helped us cover the Aswan High Dam that was not on our itinerary. Similarly, in Cairo, Eman took it upon herself to to show us both Coptic and Islamic Cairo when only Islamic Cairo was in our itinerary. In Alexandria, the guards at the last site - Catacombs - did not believe we covered so many sites in one day - they asked Eman to show the tickets! They never shied away from entertaining any request from us - however much it may have inconvenienced them. For the cruise, we are glad we listened to Chris and stuck to Farah Nile Cruise. It was a terrific experience. The boat, service, hospitality and food were all beyond our expectations. In the end, the professionalism, courtesy and above all the humanity extended to us by all we encountered during this trip has left us deeply grateful. We wish Travelous the very best and will certainly use them again.
