Review 1

What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

the pyramids, Abu Simbel, the donkey ride and the hot air baloon!

What did you think of your tour leader?

Very knowleadgeable, he had tough time during ramadan. Very open minded, explained to us a lot not just about history but culture and current event.

What advice would you give to other travellers?

Take it easy, Egypt was for me one of the most difficult countries I travelled to. A lot of hassle and bothering on the streets although I was wearing a scarf over my head the whole time. Once you look pass that it will be easier.

Sum your holiday up in one sentence

Never underestimate the ancient Engeneers!

Review 2

What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

Amazing sights and the enthusiasm of the people - for the return of the tourists and for the future of their country

What did you think of your tour leader?

Excellent

Do you feel your holiday benefited local people?

Yes, clearly.

What advice would you give to other travellers?

Be prepared to wear long sleeves and trousers for most of the trip - whatever the heat. Be prepared for very unpleasant loos on the night train. Stay with the group when running the gauntlet of hawkers - especially at the pyramids. Several individuals were 'picked off' and had unwanted photos on camels, side trips around the back of the pyramids, etc.
