The level of service provided was top notch! It made our journey through Egypt a pure pleasure. Thank you Travelous for making our vacation a dream come true!

A trip of a lifetime. The Travelous team ensured smooth transitions from airport, hotels, and all sites. Their expert travel guides were experienced, knowledgeable and friendly. Travelous offered many different options on how to pace the trip, different sites to see and cities to visit and all custom to our needs. They empower their local reps to make changes to the itinerary to meet our wants, additional stops we want to make or places to skip. I would highly recommend visiting Egypt with the Travelous group.

A special thanks to Chris and Johanna for all of their work in making our family Icelandic adventure absolutely amazing and spectacular!!! The work started in May…we researched available tours and couldn’t find one that met most of our needs and wants. So, we provided a list of sites we wanted to see and things we wanted to do to Travelous. Chris and Johanna went to work to develop the itinerary. After a few iterations, we had the perfect plan. Travelous handled all of the land bookings, so we just had to book our flights and show up in a Iceland. Everything from the hotels, the itinerary, the transfers, our driver/guide, bookings for specific tours were absolutely perfect. Johanna and Chris were a pleasure to work with on the planning of our vacation. We highly recommend Travelous for your next adventure.

Super guide and driver that did a great job and listened to what the group was interested in and then made it happen. We were a day late and you were flexible and changed our schedule to work in what we missed. Highly recommend your company.

This was my second trip with Travelous. I am very particular about what I want to see and do on my trips and a preplanned tour or group tour is not my style. I am interested in what the location offers and I pack my day with activities and very little down time. My first trip with Travelous was to Egypt, Israel and Jordan. Travelous took my “must do list” and worked with me to plan the perfect trip. Everything was exactly as planned. Wonderful experience! I was excited to be able to work with them again on this trip to Iceland. It was a special family trip (4 people) and there was a great deal we wanted to see and accomplish during our 7 days on the island. We were warned we would be very busy but it could be done - weather permitting. Once again, the trip we planned with Travelous far exceeded our expectations. We had 2 additional family members decide to join us 3 weeks prior to our departure and Travelous was very accommodating and took care of all the additional services (hotels, admissions, upgraded the vehicle etc.) We had booked our own air and had flights rescheduled by the airline a week prior to our trip and we had flights canceled the day of travel, Once again, Travelous said to relax and just let them know when we would be arriving and they would take care of everything else - and they did! I cannot say enough positive things about this company. Travelous is amazing! Also I want to say we had the most wonderful driver/guide during our week in Iceland who made our experience even more enjoyable.

I did an unbelievable amount of research before choosing Travelous. I have travelled the world, but this trip to Egypt with our family of four, was a special one, it was for my wife’s 50’th Birthday as well as our Wedding Anniversary. Planning the Itinerary with Chris was amazing, we had so many options to choose from, as there is so much to see and do. Upon landing in Cairo, we were met by our point person, Samer, who was incredible, he took care of everything and got us into our private van, and off to the Mena House for our first couple of nights. The next wonderful person we met was Eman, an utterly amazing human, with a PHD in Egyptology, she took us to sights that were just unreal… pictures cannot do this place justice, you have to go and experience it. Eman’s knowledge of her Country and its history was not only amazing in every aspect, she also had fun and humorous way of explanation. She had an incredible ability to let us adventure, and then allow us to ask any questions which she could answer. We all felt like children exploring things for the first time, and it was AMAZING. After a few days in Cairo we went to Aswan, and met Lamey (adopted as our brother, also Eman was adopted as our sister, and Samer as our uncle). Lamey is another very special highly educated amazing person, who has an incredible ability to understand people, and to be able to make them feel comfortable, his knowledge of his Egypt is second to none. We all felt extremely well taken care of, and the absolute thread of this trip - we felt as if we met family in a foreign land for the first time, and they took us on very personal and private adventures, that the normal tourist would have no hope of ever seeing, or explaining things in such a way that one was always interested and happy to hear, see, and do more! I could literally write a very long paper on this trip and the overall experience from each hotel to everyone we had the pleasure to meet, but let me summarize… YOU CANNOT DO EGYPT without a Travel Service it would be a very very huge mistake (again, I’ve travelled the world, NEVER using a service). There are for sure bigger outfits out there, I called them, and got the song and dance, and it was not until I reached Chris at Travelous, that I felt like I was talking to an old friend that was going to help me plan out an amazing trip for my family, and he did just that. Chris has also been adopted by the family :) We all feel so blessed and honored to have gone on this trip, and had the experiences we got to have, and NONE of it would have been possible without the expert team at Travelous! Do not waste your time, spending weeks trying to find that right travel company, just call Travelous and have an Epic Journey that you and yours will never forget – in fact, the trip of a lifetime!

Wow! What an incredible experience! My mom and I had dreamt of visiting Egypt for many years. In the past we had done group tours and always felt frustrated and unsatisfied upon returning home. When searching for a private tour of Egypt, I found Travelous and Chris Bazos. From our very first call, we were pleasantly surprised by Chris’ expertise regarding all things Egypt. He customized a perfect itinerary for us! Once in Egypt, we never felt unsafe or alone. We never lifted a finger or even had to check into a flight. Samer, our Cairo concierge, was excellent. He handled every detail for us, ensured we were happy each step of the way and was so kind. Nermeen and Tarik are PhD educated Egyptologist whose knowledge and sweet personalities made our visits to the temples, museums and tombs magical! They even took photos for us so that we could have some together. The sites were breathtaking and the stories of Ancient Egyptian mythology are so rich and fascinating. We were always provided bottled water while touring which was very helpful. The sunset camel ride in the desert was SO SPECIAL!! Once in front of the pyramids, the guide took our photos, laid out a blanket for us and brewed fresh tea for us to drink as we watched the sunset beside the pyramids. DO THIS WHEN YOU GO! Our hotels were ALL amazing and top notch! Meals were delicious and more than satisfying. For picky eaters, no worries! We had things like rice, chicken, beef, vegetables, chicken soup, hummus, pita bread. The culture and the people of Egypt are wonderful! Egyptians are happy people who loved to serve and greet guests. This was a life changing trip and I credit a good part of that to the quality of service and excellence provided by Chris and his Travelous staff. We will be booking with Travelous for all of our future vacations. I could write a book on how happy we are with Travelous and the tour in Egypt. I cannot recommend them enough!

Chris customized an incredible trip through Turkey for us, and our guides made every minute incredibly special. Top hotels, great drivers, smooth flights, delicious meals in picturesque settings, and incredibly memorable experiences in an impressive country with warm people. We were kept safe & happy during Covid - thank you so much! You deserve an experience like this.
