Al and Jenny Erickson, Fargo ND

"If anyone is considering a trip to Egypt we would recommend this tour without question or reservations. Everything is included, no add-ons or optional items. Nice to have it handled that way. Aladdin, our tour director, was the best! He made every stop interesting as he was truly excited about what he was showing us. You really did select the “Treasures of Egypt” to be included on the tour and nothing was missed.

Lynn Winikates, River Forest IL

"I loved the diversity of the locations and the many different features such as the boat rides, etc. I also feel that About Tours does a great job of making each traveler feel well cared for. I have taken many tours and have never had this level of personal service from other tour companies. You are really to be congratulated on this and it is why I always look forward to travelling with your agency.

Leslie and Curtis Wilmington, Hawaii
