Wonderful Agent

Hi, I just wanted to say that this company have been so easy to deal with. In particular, Serah Peters was an excellent support and very thorough with all the details and information. I would recommend them highly for ease of booking ,clarity of information and support. Most especially the agent Serah Peters whom I dealt with.

We have been dealing with Reeha at…Egypt Escapes

We have been dealing with Reeha at Egypt Escapes she is very polite, very very patient, very informative ... this has been a long process which started initially in Sept 2024 which then had to be put on pause due to family illness ... restarted the process last week, and after many phone calls and quotes, we have finally booked the dream Cairo/Nile Cruise holiday ... Reeha has shown incredible amount of patience ... many thanks for all the help given. I had specifically asked to deal with Reeha due her incredibly patient and friendly nature.

The transfers company HOPPAGO was very poor in Cairo The international number given to ring was a complete waste of time as it never got connected.
The driver couldn’t speak a word of English so couldn’t communicate to him at all.
Wasted nearly 90 minutes looking for him.
Jasmine Palace described as 5 star doesn’t meet any where near to the standard one can expect equally the Royal Viking cruise although pleasant was again never was 5 star as described while purchasing the package.
I feel the service needs a proper and close reevaluation.
The admin was brilliant on each occasion when contacted about issues and responded promptly.

Good morning Mr Sooriah and thank you for your review.
Glad to hear that you enjoyed most of your fab trip to Egypt, that is how it should be of course. Although it always disappoints us when we don't receive the full complement of 5-stars from a review. We will strive harder to improve and deserve the extra stars in the future but in the meantime I would like to apologise for the issues you had with the transfer. The transfers nearly always run smoothly (again, as they should) and we have the phone numbers for emergencies and our call centre in the UK available most hours too, just in case. Our drivers usually have at least a working knowledge of English too so that is very unusual.
Jasmine Palace mostly gets good reviews too so it is a shame that it didn't live up to expectations. As with the MS Royal Viking (which I just got back from and thoroughly enjoyed!), but of course it may not be everyone's cup of tea.
Once again, thanks so much for your useful review. Glad to had a good time on your Egypt tour with Nile cruise and Red Sea stay. Look forward to speaking to you again in the future, whether that is for another trip to Egypt or anywhere else with one of our other brands: 2Bookaholiday. Going Luxury, Aegean Holidays etc..
Kind regards,
Rob@EgyptEscapes

Good morning and thanks for your review.
We will pass your comments on to Serah who will be delighted.
What number are you calling and trying to get through to? If it is us at Egypt Escapes all our numbers should be landlines. If it is Egypt Air we have a landline number for them too that we give to our customers to avoid the charges.
Let us know.

Another good holiday to Egypt thanks

Another good holiday to Egypt thanks. Nile cruise with full excursions that were amazing. We stayed on the MS Royal Viking which is an amazing Nile cruise boat that has all outside cabins with Nile view full length sliding door and balcony. Can’t wait to go back.

Good evening Mr Cooke and thanks for your review.
Very glad to hear that you enjoyed the Nile cruise, they truly are amazing. The staff we have on there are excellent and so smily and friendly. The excursions too are an experience of a lifetime and quite unbelievable.
Shame that you didn't enjoy the hotel stay so much. Please let us know the details so that we can consider this when offering hotels in the future.
Thanks again, we really appreciate your time.

Good evening Nigel and thanks for your review.
Apologies you didn't enjoy the hotel location. Did you look at the location prior to going? Or booking? If there was anything you wanted to change on your booking we could have helped.
Hopefully in the future we can help you have a better stay in Egypt.
Let us know if you need anything else.
Thanks again,

The booking process was a nightmare

The booking process was a nightmare, numerous errors and a lot of work to contact and correct. Upon arrival in Luxor we were not met by a rep. they missed us and we had to get a local taxi ( interesting experience). we did get refunded for cost. Our guide, the boat and the excursions were good.

Thank you for your informative review Mr Reeves.
Apologies for the errors and missing rep (!). That is very unusual. We are glad however that you managed to enjoy the guide, boat and excursions. We agree with you and think that they are an amazing thing to do and an absolute highlight of a trip to Egypt.
If we can help at all in the future, please let us know.
Thanks again for travelling with us and taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate it.

I phoned Egypt escapes for a quote

I phoned Egypt escapes for a quote, the lady I spoke to, Susan Wilson, was absolutely fantastic, she understood what I wanted as a single traveller, she had my quote ready in as little as 5 minutes, emailed it to me, I told her I had to think about the price and she told me that was fine, (no bullying to buy the holiday) I came back a few days later after sorting some things out and paid the deposit.

I recommend people book with Egypt escapes for their holidays to Egypt.

We had a holiday that surpassed all of our expectations, something that has never happened to me before. there was only one real hiccup, a transfer not turning up but the transport company quickly put that right. there could have been better information on the Nile cruise itinerary which was not fully confirm until we arrived on the boat. I would thoroughly recommend the MS Royal Viking and Sun Travel who did the work on the ground in Egypt. We all had a fantastic time, well worth the money.

Great booking experience with Judy

I dealt with Judy to book my Nile cruise. She has been absolutely fantastic with the booking process. She has gone above and beyond to get me the best deal. She even worked on her day off to help me achieve this. I am so grateful for this. I hope that she is appreciated as a member of the team. She is a real credit to the establishment and I hope that this gets recognised. She’s been polite, kind, knowledgable and honest. So far - it’s been a real pleasure dealing with Judy. I’m really looking forward to my Nile cruise!

ARRIVED IN CAIRO

ARRIVED IN CAIRO, THREE HOURS DELAYED INCLUDING 3/4 HOUR WAITING FOR BAGGAGE ON CONVEYOR BELT. THIS WAS UNFORSEEN BUT MY TRANSFER WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND. THIS WAS 12.30 AM.HAD TO TAKE A TAXI TO HOTEL ATA COST OF £30.00.ARRIVED AT HOTEL AT ABOUT 1.30AM. TRIED TO CONTACT SUN INTERNATIONAL BUT THERE WAS NO REPLY.
HAD A EXCURSION AT 9.00AM NEXT MORNING SO GOT UP EARLY TO CONTACT THEM.THIS WAS SUNDAY 12TH JANUARY. HOTEL MANAGER CONTACTED SUN INTERNATIONAL AND RECIEVED A TXT AFTER LOOKING INTO IT SAYING ONLY TRANSFER TO HURGHADA WAS ARRANGED FOR ME.I HAD A FLIGHT TO CATCH AT 1.30 MONDAY FROM CAIRO TO LUXOR AND SO BOOKED A TAXI FROM HOTEL TO CAIRO AIRPORT AT ANOTHER COST OF £26.00.ALL THESE TIMES WERE WHEN HEAD OFFICE LONDON WERE CLOSED SO HAD NO CHOICE.
WHEN AT CAIRO AIRPORT PHONED HELP DESK LONDON WHO ASSURED ME MY TRANSFERS FROM LUXOR TO MS VIKING. LUXOR TO HURGARDA AND HURGARDA HOTEL TO HURGARDA AIRPORT WERE CONFIRMED.THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY E-MAIL.
I FOUND THIS EXPERIENCE DISTRESSING AND MADE ME VERY ANXIOUS AS I POTENTIALLY COULD MISS MY CONNECTIONS JEPORDISING THE REST OF MY HOLIDAY AND ALSO OUT OF POCKET BY £46.00 POUNDS.
BEFORE HAND I PHONED THE HELPDESK ABOUT MY TRANSFERS AS I DID NOT HAVE TRANSFER VOUCHERS FOR SOME OF MY TRANSFERS BUT WAS ASSURED THIS WAS NORMAL AND WAS ASSURED NOT TO WORRY.
THE ACCOMODATION, MS VIKING AND HOTELS WERE SUPERB, PITY THIS WAS OVERSHADOWED BY THE WORRY OVER TRANSFERS.

Egypt Escapes contacted me to understand the circumstances of the failed transfers and improve their service.Following this, I was promptly refunded for out-of-pocket expenses incurred, and they apologised for any inconvenience. Rob was very understanding, and I would recommend Egypt Escapes. The transfers were out of their hands.
The rest of the holiday went smoothly and the guide was brilliant. A really great way to explore Egypt.
Thank you.

Good morning Glen and thanks for your review.
Huge apologies for the flight delays and issues with the transfers. There is nothing worse than a flight delay AND then having to wait for your baggage... urgh!
Not sure why you had problems with the transfers as our grand agents have the flight details and so are aware of any delays and wait for our clients. They are usually very good at this. Please get in touch with us and we would be happy to refund any out of pocket expenses you had getting taxis etc.
Glad to hear you had a great time other than this on your amazing trip to Egypt including a Nile cruise on the exquisite MS Royal Viking (I just got back from this one too!) and your hotel stays too.
Look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards,
Rob@EgyptEscapes

Nice to speak to you Mr Graveson and thank you so much for your very useful feedback. Hopefully we have sorted everything for you now.
Anything else you need just let me know.

So glad we booked with Egypt Escapes!

We had promised ourselves a Nile Cruise years ago, we finally were able to go in early January and we weren't disappointed. Sereh Peters from Egypt Escapes was professional, patient, knowledgeable and so helpful as it was the first holiday we'd booked in quite a few years. The Steigenburger Legacy and it's crew was lovely, and our fantastic Eygptologist/ guide Ahmed on the cruise was organised, friendly and knew anything and everything needed. Always clear, on time, making every excursion fascinating and exceeding our expectations. Transfers were no issue and organised. The second week at the Kaisol Romance in Hurghada was equally perfect. Relaxation is the aim and the ambience is perfect.. the staff in the hotel were terrific. Svetlana the hotel guest liason was helpful with any information needed. Clean, well run, the food was excellent. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend every aspect of this fabulous holiday. Julie & Dave Lewis

Avoid like the plague!

Avoid like the plague!! Didn't get what I booked and paid for. Tried to reason with them but excuse after excuse. Be very careful if you plan to use them? Overall POOR.

Good morning Mr Anderson and thank you for your review.
Terribly sorry that you have had to leave us a negative review with just 1-star, this hardly ever happens. Nearly everyone that we engage with has a great time dealing with us and an even better time in the amazing land that is Egypt.
What happened with your experience that made it sub-standard?
Please get back in touch and let us know so that we can help you with your enquiry and also so that we can be better in the future.
We look forward to speaking to you again and we remain at your disposal.
Kind regards,
