Booking process and tour options was great…
The whole booking process was great thanks to the staff who gave clear instructions on everything. We found a tour that offered what we were looking for at a reasonable price. I was a little concerned on my ability to use the portal but it was straight forward. In fact it covers everything I needed. I found the staff very helpful, polite and friendly. Our tour hasn’t commenced yet but I am confident I will have a fantastic time and that I will be a repeat customer. Thanks to the effort the team have put in.

A great tour of Egypt and Jordan
Extremely well organised from the moment we arrived at the airport in Cairo. Excellent tour guides in Egypt and Jordan, who provided in-depth knowledge and history of their respective countries. Accommodation was of a high standard, adding to a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
