Classic Holidays have been extremely good and the holiday organisation exceptional. There has been one issue which disappointed us but Classic Holidays are doing everything to resolve this. The organisation of transfers was exceptional, we were met at every change over and guided through check in, passport control etc. the cruise guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. All in all highly recommend Classic Holidays.

We have waited to do this trip for the last 6 years and did not disappoint, well worth the wait. Classic Holidays have been professional and have always been extremely helpful each time we contacted them. This trip has been amazing and I have recommended it to many of our family and friends. The whole experience has left us with beautiful memories. The Guide was professional and informative throughout and we were well looked after.

We booked our Nile Cruise trip with Classic Holidays. On arrival at Cairo airport we were met with a representative from the company, who took care of Visas, making sure our luggage arrived safely and were guided to our waiting taxi to take us to our hotel. From the start of the trip, then flying to Luxor, joining our boat and sailing down to Aswan I can say we were looked after very well. We had a lovely guide called George. Every day was packed with exciting trips to temples, tombs, the Pyramids. All very well organised. We felt very safe and relaxed throughout the holiday. I will definitely book again with Classic Holidays. Joanna Williams

We really enjoyed our vacation, the cruise itinerary was well organised and the rep (Hani) was brilliant. I would recommend Classic Holidays for experiencing Egypt.

Well organised trip. Excellent and very knowledgeable guides in Cairo and on the Nile cruise. Early starts to avoid the crowds well worth the effort to appreciate the amazing sights. Faultless travel arrangements with agents meeting and greeting and helping with onward journeys. MS Esadora bit tired in some areas but good food and reasonable cabins. Old palace hotel south of Hurghada was a perfect 5 day end to a memorable adventure.

Excellent holiday experiences from beginning to end. English speaking representatives met us at every step with safe drivers / vehicles. Sound advice from the booking agent saved us money. I recommend Classic Holidays, and would use them again.

I have used Classic Holidays for many years now. I've always found their agents very helpful and my holidays to Egypt have always been to a very high degree of satisfaction. Anyone thinking of going to Egypt? I would highly recommend, Classic Holidays.

I have been on 4 previous nile cruises and I have to say this has been by far the best. Hany is the most knowledgeable guide we have ever had. Our boat was far superior than all the previous boats we have been on. The holiday was amazing overall.

Booking with Sarah was very good so easy

Our ship was fantastic. The royal princess was impressive and the service, accommodation and the food was brilliant. Our guide Hany made our holiday extra special, he was fantastic. All the staff were amazing and worked so hard to make our holiday special. We had a wonderful time and always felt safe. We will be returning soon. Thank you for a really enjoyable experience.

Best holiday ever!

This was a trip of a Life time. Classic Holidays were amazing and arranged everything with such fine detail. Big thanks to the agent Sarah who recommended and arranged everthing
We had 7 days on the Nile on the MS Princess which was sublime. Our Egyptologist and Guide , Sam was a walking encyclopaedia, we can not praise him enough.
All the tours were amazing including all the extras Sam provided were really good .
The food on board was fabulous and no-one was ill with Egyptian tummy !
We then transferred down to Hurghada and stayed in the Fort Arababeque in Hurghada for a complete rest ( we needed it) again a great location and hotel .
In Cairo we stayed in the Marriott Mena House Hotel , again super hotel and the view of the Pyramids from the hotel gardens was out of this world .
It was end to end service from Classic Holidays and if you are thinking of going to Egypt I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Great organisation. Fantastic food brilliant trips, lovely staff and value for money. Great boat with good amenities. The best thing though, and we have travelled the world extensively, was our guide Ayman. Absolutely superb.

Reply from Classic Holidays
I enjoyed this holiday experience very much. I saw everything I wanted to see. The guides were friendly and informative. The Nile River Cruise from Luxor to Aswan met my expectations as did the stay at the Steigenberger Pyramids Hotel, Cairo. The buffet food was varied and good and all the transfers were carried out smoothly and without problems.

Everything very well organised. Guides were superb, amazing knowledge. We saw everything we wanted and more. Ship was excellent, comfortable with good entertainment and decent food. Staff first class.
Liked the idea of tips included.
Would have preferred to pay for trips by card rather than sterling. Good value. Would have preferred to fly direct from Scotland.
