Dear Ask aladdin team

 I am delighted with the great time your agency provided for us in Egypt. You are an excellent tour agent; you made our trip an outstanding success and a most memorable experience.

You went out of your way to make sure that all our wishes, both expressed and implied, were fulfilled; and it allowed us to be carefree and fancy-free with your reliability and our well-founded confidence that you would take care of everything.  Thank you, and congratulations on your professional and kind excellent services."

Dear  Ask -Aladdin,

I can't tell you how much fun I had in Egypt.  You (and your site)  have helped me more than you know.  Cairo was the best part of my trip.  I had a lot of fun touring around the sites with you, seeing things that most tourists don't get to see.  I have had a few different tour guides in the places around the world I have been to, but you are the best one I've come across.  I will definitely use your services again, and recommend you to anyone coming to Egypt for a holiday.
Yours,

Dear Ask- Aladdin

"I would be very happy if you want to include my e-mail with your testimonials.
As you know, I have been e-mailing with you over the last week during the planning for my Egypt trip. You have always been very helpful, and clarified many of the issues that are almost impossible to understand from the tour agents and guide books.
Information such as entrance fees, abu simbel flights, reliable costs, what to do, whether Nefertari tomb is open in Luxor, and so many other things!  I just counted - and you've sent me 11 emails!  And, the most amazing thing, is not once did you ask for any charge or anything for your advice, or encourage me to do a tour trip with you, or anything. You obviously love your job which I think is essential to being able to do a job well. And you obviously know your stuff - in fact, most of the tour agents were wrong on information and you were right!
 So, I would readily encourage people to contact you regarding your tour guide services,
or for any advice on those tricky issues that are hard to sort out in planning a trip to Egypt.

Dear Sirs

 I am very impressed with your vast knowledge, customer service and ability to make things happen! Due to my husband's job, we have traveled to many countries and I always study and navigate them myself with no problem.  I am so glad we found you and did NOT try to do this with Egypt. You made things run so smoothly and checked on us every step of the way. Plus, having the expertise of you and Mohamed Anwar to explain all the sights was priceless!! Our return trips will always be done with you as our guide.  Thank you so much for showing us incredible Egypt!!

"The experience that you provided for us exceeded all our expectations.  The professional and personable guides and the personal service that they provided made our time in your country not only easy and safe but also continuously wondrous.  Please use me as a reference. 

Also, if all your clients receive the personal service that we did, you should advertise it like that.  I wasn’t expecting the personal guide and driver.  Both would be great selling points for your travel agency.

 Thank you so much for the best experience I’ve ever known.

Dear Sir

"I would like to thank you very much for a wonderful trip to Egypt.

Thank you just doesn’t seem enough for all your hard work and attention to detail. I certainly learned a lot about Egypt and the history. You made it all seem so clear and easy to understand. Cliff even  said he learned a lot and understood the history better.

I liked the way you gave us variety in sights and adventures. By the end of the trip, I really could see and understand the hieroglyphics. It was beginning to come alive and make sense. Some one asked what was my favorite part of the trip. It was all my favorite!!  Each day was something new and different.  I did especially like being on the Nile river. The small boats were fun and so was the cruise. I spent the whole afternoon on deck watching the river go by.  I did like all the tombs and pyramids. The light shows were great! A special treat. Thanks again for everything"

 Dear Ask- Aladdin

Two weeks soaking in the hot sun of Egypt but we don't mind that because at the same time, we were rewarded, soaking in the vast ancient history of Egypt. Reading, seeing pictures and watching documentaries about Egypt history is never the same like seeing the real history in real life. Seeing the real history is never the same with experienced guide from Travel line especially our many thanks to Zeina who brought us around in Cairo. She just knew what interest us most and just skip things that we don't fancy that much especially while we were at the Khan al-Khalili bazaar.

The bazaar was special but walking through the small alleys around that area gave us a better impressions about the real life of the Egyptians. Oh yes, of course the real local food that she brought us to! Superb!! Mahmoud who guide us throughout the Nile cruise via Aswan and Luxor is gifted with his knowledge and steady pace of his explanations.

 
But the main highlights of the whole trip for us, must be climbing Mt. Sinai very early in morning, just to be there to catch the sunrise. What a fantastic experience! All the effort to wake up early and climb the mountain diminished with the reward at the top!
 
Many thanks to all the Travel line family. We will be back for another adventure with the ancient history.

Dear Egypt Ask aladdin Team

 
I have thought of sending you an email to thank for your overall arrangement of my Egypt tour.  However, since I am too busy after the trip, I can hardly have time to write you (and your colleagues who have taken care of us) an email to thank you all.
 
In summary, we found your overall arrangement excellent.  The tour guides are ever on time in greeting us with most sincerity (Mr Ahmed and others).  They care every details for us which makes our journey easy, smooth and relaxed.  Besides, the local guides are very experienced and knowledgeable (Mr Ibrahim and the girl who accompanies our pyramid and Sphinx tour).  Special appreciation should be given to Mr Mohammed (the driver), who is extremely kind and keeps our journey safe and efficient all the way.  Last, we enjoyed the hotels and the cruise (food of course) of the journey. 
 
We are satisfied in all aspects of your arrangement and I will definitely refer any of my friends to join your tour who are planning to Egypt.
 
Please , would you be kind enough to forward this email to Mr Ahmed, Mr Mohamed, Mr Ibrahim and the female local guide (whose name I have forgotten).  Also, please send my warmest regards and heartiest blessings to them and their families.
 
Best regards to you

Dear Ask-Aladdin

I am Cindy, Daniel's mother and one of the three in his travel group. How do I begin to tell you how fantastic this trip was!

We were so fortunate to visit all of the sites that were of interest to us and enjoyed so many people, foods and cultures. We were treated like royalty from the moment we landed in Cairo until we flew out on May 1! Our guides were very informative and we were taken with the passion they expressed in what they did.

Our very favorite guide was in Cairo, Zeina Salem, she also was with us for the trips to Sinai and Alexandria. She was very friendly, informative and made us feel the passion that she has for her country and it's history. She spoiled us with special treatment that would have been impossible for a party of more than three. She was an absolute delight!


We also were given the best treatment from our representative Ah Met, our driver Ha mid and all the other drivers and guides we were in contact with. Ah Met met us at the airport and from then on was there for all our needs and made all our transactions run very smoothly! There were also some very thoughtful additional gestures, such as flowers upon our return from Luxor, that made us feel very pampered!


You have a top rated company with top notch employees! I would recommend your services to all I know and will use them again in the future should I be so fortunate to visit your wonderful country again! Inshallah!


Sincere gratitude,

Dear Egypt travel Experts

My name is, Lalita  Daniel s wife. I was compelled to write to you as well to send many praises about your company, it's commitment to service, and the staff you employ. I know that generally when people write reviews about their vacations, it tends to be primarily based on negative experiences. I think I speak for my family when I say that the only negative part of our vacation was the fact that it had to come to an end!

All of our accommodations were satisfactory and the itinerary was certainly loaded with all of the items we wanted to see before we left Egypt. I felt as though we received the "royal" treatment everywhere we went. It started from the moment we stepped foot off of the plane. We had heard so many stories about how complicated it could be maneuvering through customs but with the assistance of Admed, we blinked and it was over. He was such a joy to interact with and he made sure that every step of our journey went smoothly. I don't know how he did it because I felt as though we were his only clients with the amount of attention he gave to us.

Every site and every encounter was so grand but the fact that we could just show up and enjoy it, made it seem as though Egypt was ours for the exploring. All of our guides were knowledgeable and sincere at every location but our hearts were taken away by Zeina Salem. She was just such a joy to be around. We could ask questions about anything and everything and she always had the answers and gave us an opportunity to see what Egypt was really like and how blessed we were to be standing where so many lives had before us. Everyone took such wonderful care of us and seemed so passionate about what they were doing that we left Egypt with the best feeling in the world. On top of that, it gave our family a chance to do what we really needed, some time to just be with each other. Not having the hassle of attractions and lines and all that entails, gave us time to just have fun! Every person we encountered was a joy and I am so grateful that my husband came across your company. I would and will recommend your company to anyone even considering going to Egypt. No other company could possible compare to yours and if they tried, they wouldn't have your staff and they would pale in comparison.

Thank you so much for giving me and my family an experience of a lifetime. We will always treasure the moments we shared and that was in large part to you and your company.


All my best,

Lalita

Dear Egypt travel Experts                                                                                        


We had an absolutely fabulous time on our trip. All of the arrangements exceeded our expectations. We were met at every airport and tour by staff who then took care of all arrangements for transportation and tickets. Ayman was excellent in Cairo, George was so helpful in getting us to and from the airports and hotels, Jackie was very knowledgeable and Arena In Aswan (unsure how to spell her name) was good, her English was just a bit difficult to understand. Ben stopped by our cruise ship to introduce himself and advise us as to time he would be picking us up the next day for our flight to Abu-Simbel and the tour guide at Abu-Simbel was also very good.
I must admit I was a bit hesitant with the initial wire transfer for the deposit as we were just dealing through a web site. We are so used to using credit cards it seems a more convenient way to us. Please extend our thanks and warmest regards to all the staff who were involved in our tours. You may use me as a reference if you wish for future clients.

Hello Gentleman

We had a very good time on the trip. We had good guides who explained very well the history and information on the temples and sites. Often the guides would give us insights that they had discovered themselves having been experienced guides over the years and even suggest good locations to take the best pictures.

Mr Ahmed who met us at the airport and looked after our general arrangements over the period until our departure was efficient and a very pleasant person. He often took extra effort to ensure things went smoothly and made himself available at all times should we need to contact him.

We hope to return to Egypt

Dear Egypt travel Experts

We have now arrived home safe and sound and have settled back into home and work life.

I thought I would write to say how much we enjoyed the trip over to Egypt thanks to your fantastic organizing and support throughout our 3 week trip.
From the start of my correspondence with you over the internet including your quick efficient replies to my emails etc I felt we would be in safe hands with your company. It was good to meet you on arrival at the airport, the follow up phone calls during our tour, the confirmation of flights for us, made our trip so much easier.

We could not fault the transfer arrangements on all occasions (especially the 3am pickup from the airport) and our husbands formed a friendly relationship with both representatives and drivers. The upgrades at the hotels which included looking out over the Nile and pyramids was very special. A big thank you for organizing Mohammad to be our guide throughout our trip. He is a terrific guide and Egyptologist. We feel and hope that we formed a special rapport with him and we take home fond memories of our travels. Please pass on once again our thanks.

Finally and most importantly (and as you assured us) we had a safe trip throughout Egypt and I would not hesitate in referring any one to you.

Regards and best wishes to you and your family

Dear , Egypt travel Experts Aladdin, Ibrahim, Ahmed, and Amr,

Thank you so much! We had an amazing trip, and we are so happy with your company's service. You put together a "perfect" itinerary, and we wouldn't have changed a thing. The guides were absolutely phenomenal, and were loved by all. Raouf and Ahmed did an amazing job of entertaining us, keeping us on time, and taking care of all of the "wrinkles" on the trip. I will write a longer letter later, but I just want you do know that you were VERY professional, friendly, and helpful. We would be happy to be references for your company, and we have NO complaints. Please keep in touch, and know that you all have friends and "family" in Shanghai, China (or wherever else we end up).

I am sure you are going to have some repeat business from us!
Love,

Dear Ask-Aladdin 

 

We have arrived home safely and have already begun to tell people about our F A B U L O U S Egyptian experience. 

 

Your personal attention to every detail and prompt responses from the very inception of our tour to the end result was fantastic and made our 3 week trip to Egypt a trip of a lifetime, and one we will never forget.

 

You should be very proud of ALL your staff, from your representatives who were always there for the transfers and the registration at our accommodation (no matter what the time), your drivers who took on the task of battling the Egyptian traffic in their own cool manner, to the guides who gave us all the background knowledge and information on the fabulous country that is Egypt.  They ALL made us feel that nothing was too much trouble and that we could ask anything of them and they would oblige (they made use feel very much at home).

 

Please pass on once again our thanks to Mohammed our guide and Egyptologist, Mohammed treated as friends and not just tourists.  We felt he was showing friends around his country, which he obviously loves and so we also loved thanks to him.

 

Our Egyptian holiday was a memorable experience and is now a highlight of our overseas travels.

 

We would not hesitate to recommend your agency to any Australian wishing to travel to Egypt.

 

Who knows in the future we might meet again and you will be able to organize for us a visit to St Catherine’s and the new Cairo Museum.

 

Your Australian Friends,

Hello Egypt Travel experts

We had a wonderful trip and have been trying to email you to thank you, especially to Aladdin to tell him how much we appreciated being taken to dinner. Our children wanted to extend their thanks as well, they so enjoyed his company and the food.
We are very sorry for the delayed return response, we've had hurricane warnings and many weather problems.
As I have said, our land trip was wonderful, even amazing!!!. The food, the cruise, the hotels, everywhere was wonderful. We enjoyed everyone that we came in contact with, our guides, the drivers, Akmed was wonderful as well.

We would like to make you aware of one problem regariog the diving centre in sharm.

We were so excited to be in Egypt and especially looked forward to our dive. Because Aladdin is a diver, he will especially understand this.
The dive companies equipment was bad. My wife had to use her secondary on her regulator because the primary was barely allowing air to release, when we hit cold spots her secondary would barely work, she refused to do a third dive which she would have loved to have done under normal circumstances,

Our son's tank was leaking and he ran out of air prematurely on every dive after a certain pressure was reached, There should have been back up equipment, but I don't know that it would have worked properly either. My wife told them her concerns through out the day, she's a very experienced diver, but our guide continued to tell us everything was fine, mean while the equipment worker on the boat said our equipment should be thrown overboard because it was JUNK!!! Having rented equipment all over the world, when there is a problem it's addressed promptly, not brushed aside with an attitude that could easily put someone in jeopardy.
With that being stated, we understand that the dives were out of your direct control. After watching and being impressed with both the equipment and the dive master at the hotel Concorde, we hope to come back and dive there one day..
We have told everyone what a joy it was to work with your company and that it was a Vacation of a Life Time!!! One that we know our children will always remember as well.
Thank you so much,

Dear  Ask-aladdin

THANK YOU!

We had a very memorable visit...one that was better than we could have ever expected. Our whole trip was seamless thanks to your wonderful associates.

Our greeter, Mr. Magdi was wonderful. He was always on time and eager to assist in all transfers. We appreciated his leadership and his ability to answer any questions we had. He gladly took care of the details of the entire trip, for which we were very grateful.

Our driver, Ashraf is undeniably the best driver in Egypt. We felt very safe and comfortable despite the crazy city traffic. We had many good drivers, but his talents and politeness stood out above the rest. He deserves a raise!

Hesham, our tour guide for the pyramids and the museum may very well be the best tour guide we've ever had. He was extremely knowledgeable and very easy to understand due to his excellent and articulate English. He not only took time to describe everything we had questions about, he also explained the culture and other helpful and invaluable tips that we used throughout our trip.

We were very pleased with the accommodations as well as the professionalism of the crew on the ship. They were very polite and accommodating throughout the cruise. Although we did not have a detailed itinerary of the planned excursions, the trip was very well coordinated. Our tour guide Kirolos was also very knowledgeable and approachable for questions. He took time to sit down with us and explain further if we had any questions. He was also helpful in changing our itinerary to insure that we would not miss out on the sites of Aswan as we were booked to visit Abu Simbel on that day.

We were, however, a little confused once we got to Abu Simbel as we did not find our greeter nor know which tour bus to get on. Once we found a tour guide that took our cash, the excursion was smooth and enjoyable.

On our final day in Aswan, we were pleased that Haidy was able to put together an excursion to Philae Temple and the High Dam. These sites were truly impressive and it was such a pleasure to have Inis as our guide. She was also very knowledgeable and talented in English. We would like to thank Haidy again for changing that excursion for us so that that it would not be missed because of our Abu Simbel excursion.

Thank you for a wonderful trip. We will be pleased to recommend you to anyone who is interested in visiting Egypt.

Hi Ask- Aladdin (Egypt travel Experts)

I wanted to thank you and all your staff for arranging such a wonderful trip for us to Egypt.
It was truly memorable in every way for myself and family. I am sad that we did not get the opportunity to thank you personally for all you did at the airport before we left for Amsterdam. Everything was very well organized. The guides we had (Ayman and Osama) were fantastic. We have a very pleasant group also for the trip which was great. Very much enjoyed the tour agenda.
I will be my pleasure to give references for your company, we were all very impressed and appreciative of the seamless organization.
Really looking forward to making another trip to your wonderful country... there is still so much we want to see ( Alexandria, Sham el- Sheik etc.)
Thanks again to everyone on your team.
Hope to be in touch soon.

Dear Ask-Aladdin Staff,

Thank you for your email. We had a wonderful trip to Egypt- thank you SO much for organising it for us. We have been telling our families and friends all about it. I cannot think of one thing to criticise.

We did so much in our two weeks that we cannot pick out one thing that was the best; from Cairo and the Pyramids to the Philae temple and Luxor, from snorkelling in Hurghada to the catacombs of Alexandria.

Our guides were brilliant- so many other people seemed to have problems with theirs but Ibrahim and Hassan were wonderful. We were only sorry that we had to fly home!

I will be telling everybody how good your organisation was - we would be happy to promote you in any way.

Thank you so much,

Hi Ask-Aladdin

Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful time in Egypt. I had fantastic experience and it was only possible because of the flexibility and arrangements your team made for us. The Egypt Splendor tour is a well-designed tour for travellers with only a week to spend in Egypt - not only were we able to see an great amount of sites that gave us a good appreciation of Egypt's history, but we didn't feel rushed in anyway or too physically drained during the tour. I think a large part of why the tour program was so great was the transfers between the cities (flying vs. train/bus) which cut alot of dead time out of our schedules, more time to rest and of course more time to enjoy the cities we were in. In addition, because this was a private tour (vs. a large tour bus company operator) we were able to enjoy the sites at a bit more of a leisurely pace - absorb all the history and take all the pictures we wanted without feeling rushed.

Our first stop in Egypt was in Cairo and when we first got off the plane, the airport was pretty chaotic, but Raouf was there to greet us well before the customs reps and helped us quickly with our visas to usher us through customs without any problems or delays. From then on, until the time we left Egypt, I can say, we were very well taken care of by the representatives of your company. Your team was able to address any inquiries or requests quickly and efficiently and as well handled all the details (no matter how small) of our trip which alleviated any stress and helped to make our vacation more enjoyable. The tour guides were great - they were very informative and demonstrated a great deal of knowledge of the sites and your country.

We were especially pleased with your flexibility for our travels to Abu Simbel - we had signed up for the optional day trip to Abu Simbel. When we had originally booked our trip, an air transfer was not possible to Abu Simbel as there were no flights available on that day, but we opted for a car service to Abu Simbel (3 hours car ride). We were originally scheduled to leave at 11am but the day we were suppose to go to Abu Simbel was Oct 22 - Ramesses II's alleged birthday - where it is only one of 2 days in the whole year where at sunrise (for only 30 minutes) the sun shines through the temple and illuminates the sculptures on the back wall. Since this occurs only 2 times out of the year and only at sunrise, we requested that we be able to see this - your team was very flexible in re-arranging our itinerary to help start our adventure at 12:30am to arrive at Abu Simbel at 4am - which gave us ample time to see the sunrise and we managed to get through the crowds and into the temple to see the natural phenomenon. This was truly an amazing experience and for those visitors to come, it is definitely something you should consider seeing if you are ever in Egypt on either Oct 22 or Feb 22nd. Despite the early hours of this day trip- both our driver and the tour guide provided great service to us added to an already memorable experience.

We have had a great stay in your country and I am already day-dreaming of my next visit to Egypt - hopefully explore the Red Sea on another one of your tours. I would not hesitate in recommending your tours to anyone because of the level of professionalism and hospitality that you demonstrated throughout our trip. THANK YOU for a wonderful time in Egypt! - your company made it possible.

Thanks

Dear Egypt Experts,

We are writing to express our gratitude for the wonderful job you have done in putting together a memorable program for our 10th Wedding Anniversary. From the moment we arrived in Egypt to the moment we returned to Canada, your organization was flawless, thus allowing us to enjoy our time in Egypt without a single worry. Mr. Raouf Louis even took the time to sporadically get in touch with us to verify that all was going well.


We arrived at Cairo Airport at 4 a.m. on a very hot morning. We were amazed to see a representative holding a sign with our names even before we got to the customs officer. We didn’t have to worry about acquiring our Visas because it had already been done, and we had the comfort of a friendly welcoming presence in a country totally foreign to us. While we were being driven to our hotel, Mr. Ahmed, our representative, gave us a briefing on the cultural and social norms of Egypt – and Cairo in particular – and presented us with some survival tips during our stay. It was a great start to 16 fantastic days in this land of wonder and history.


We stayed in Cairo for six days (we also visited Alexandria during this time) and we visited all the pyramids, the museums, the mosques and the churches, the citadel and the market, and learned about life in Cairo and about its people. Our hotel was at a perfect location, overlooking the pyramids. Rania, our guide, and Hazem, our driver, were two incredible human beings who made us feel right at home with their friendliness and genuine interest in us and their concern for our interests as tourists. Besides being incredibly knowledgeable, Rania was always giving us tips on how to act at all the different places we visited, on how to deal with all the hagglers at the sites, on how much we should pay for various items at restaurants and at the market, and even going out of her way to buy things on our behalf in order for us to get a fair price. Hazem, our driver, kept his car clean at all times and always made sure that the air conditioner was at the right temperature. It was all extremely well organized. On our last day in Cairo, we were picked-up by our representative who accompanied us to the train station where we took a sleeper train to Aswan. Mr. Ahmed stayed with us until the train arrived and made sure we understood the itinerary that would follow.

We arrived in Aswan and, again, we had a representative waiting for us even though our train arrived three hours late. We stayed at the best hotel in town on an island in the Nile! We were given clear directions relating to our program – that included a visit to the Botanical Gardens and the Nubian Village - and everything occurred according to plan. No glitches!

On the next day we embarked on a four-day/three-night Nile Cruise where we met our representative who introduced us to our cruise guide, Marwan. This was a fantastic experience! The cruise staff was extremely friendly and our guide was very attentive and helpful. In Aswan, we visited the High Dam and the Philae Temple. We sailed to visit the Kom Ombo Temple and the Edfu Temple. The last two days were spent in Luxor where we visited the Luxor Temple, the Karnak Temple, the Hatshepsut Temple, and the Valley of Kings. Again, the organization was solid and flawless.

After we checked out, we were met by another representative who briefed us on the next part of our program. We were then introduced to the driver who drove us across the desert to a Red Sea Resort in Urghada. It was a three-and-half-hour journey that gave us the opportunity to experience the desert from a comfortable and friendly spot.

Our last four days were spent at the Sonesta Red Sea Resort where we just relaxed and enjoyed the sun. Mr. Raouf Louis was kind enough to present us with a complimentary offer of a full day of snorkeling on July 24th, the date of our Wedding Anniversary. When we got back to the hotel, we had a cake delivered to us in celebration of our special day. It was an unbelievable experience that we definitely want to repeat.

Treasure Egypt was simply fantastic in every single aspect of our stay in Egypt. We met professionalism, dedication, and reliability from every single person who worked with us. We are extremely pleased with our experience and would definitely recommend Treasure Egypt to anyone travelling to Egypt.


Thank you for a wonderful program and for making our 10th Wedding Anniversary memorable.

Paulo and Teresa Pereira

Dear Egypt Travel,

Firstly, I would like to thank you sincerely for your professionalism in organizing our private car, guides and hotels during our visit to Egypt in August & September 2009.

We were warmly greeted at each airport, our guides were knowledgeable and friendly and the drivers were respectful. We felt we obtained a good understanding of the Egyptian culture, religion and family life from each of the people you chose to interact with us.

The numerous tombs, museums, temples and pyramids we visited will certainly remain a high point of our many years of traveling the world.

The hotels you booked for us were comfortable and beautifully decorated, with friendly and courteous staff.

I will certainly recommend you to our family and friends.

Yours Sincerely,

Caterina Pedulla

I am sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you.

We really enjoyed our holiday to Egypt. Everything went according to plan.. All of our airport transfers were waiting for us on arrival. Our accommodation was nice, and the tour guides were excellent, they were all on time, very knowledgeable and really friendly. In particular, Bahaar who showed us around Etfu and Aswan. Our contact in Cairo "Waleed" was also excellent. He was waiting for us at the airport and had our visas all ready for us, which saved us waiting even longer! He was very courteous and very informative.. On the cruise all of the staff were great. There were a couple who paid extra attention to the kids, making them laugh and playing games with them, (as they were the youngest on the boat), which they really enjoyed. One of the men that serviced the rooms would make an animal out of the towels and sit it on the bed. Everyday the kids had a new surprise.
All round we were very impressed with the service we received and would recommend your agency to friends and family.

Kind Regards

Special tour program on a dahabia

30th October,  2009 Australia

Hello Ask-aladdin
just wish to thank you for arranging such a wonderful Egyptian and Jordan holiday for our small group of 4. From the time we arrived in Cairo and were met at the airport by Walid, to the time we left Jordan the organisation was fantastic, and exceptional value for money.

The Egyptologist tour guides that you booked for our trip were absolutely wonderful and incredibly knowledgeable as you would expect. I must make special note of Ayman who not only guided us but also taught and challenged us to understand ancient Egyptian culture. The incorporation of lesser known antiquity sites, such as Abydos and Dandara temples were equally, and in some cases more spectacular the some of the more well known sites. Although every part of our holiday was a highlight, the trip down on the Nile on the Dahabeiya was absolutely wonderful. With only 3 cabins, all with private facilities, and 3 couples it was very intimate and peaceful. The crew were very respectful and unobtrusive, and we felt very spoilt by them as they were available to assist us 24 hours. We would often laze on the deck and watch the large cruisers sail by being very thankful that we were enjoying the tranquility of the dahabeiya.

The hotels in both Egypt and Jordan were on the whole excellent, although if we did have any concerns they were very quickly rectified by you.
Thank you again and I will definitely recommend you and your group to any others I know of who are planning a trip to Egypt. My husband and I are already discussing a return visit.
It was also great to meet you on the Jordan leg of our holiday.
Again, thank you so much

Best regards to you and your family

Hello, Egypt travel Experts


We were extremely satisfied with ALL your representatives and tours! The service was amazing and top-notch. Everyone was always on time, informative, and very kind. We were surprised by how smoothly all our travel arrangements were handled. From the moment we were picked up at the airport, we were well cared for. Our particular cruise ship, "The Nile Crocodile" was excellent. The food was very very good and the service great. We were very pleased with the selection and variety of food offered. We feel extremely lucky to get such a knowledgeable person to be our guide though out our stay in Luxor and Aswan. Not all guides were of the same caliber.
Thank you very much for a very memorable stay in Egypt. We will highly recommend your company to friends.

Dear Maha,

I apologize that it has taken so long to respond.
My friend Linda Marshall and I had a wonderful trip to Egypt, thanks to your pre-planning and suggestions on tour day changes. The two young men who met us at the airport and at the hotel in the mornings were polite, helpful, and willingly showed us an authentic Egyptian restaurant our first night, when we'd mentioned we'd like to try traditional food. It was over and above our expectations.

Amr, our tour guide, was excellent. He let us explore and take photos at our own pace, while providing interesting insights into the sites and culture. He was personable and knowledgeable and made for a week-long friend.

Our guide in Luxor was also helpful and informative. I forget his name, but he impressed us with his in-depth knowledge of Egyptian history and the Luxor landscape.

Our driver for most of the tour was excellent, as well. When considering the Cairo traffic, it is surprising that we got into no accidents. He was polite and friendly throughout our tour.
Overall, Linda and I are very pleased with our tour experience. We saw most of the main sights without feeling rushed or pressured to buy from vendors. Thank you for arranging our tour, and I am passing your name and tour company onto a friend to consider for her upcoming trip.

Most sincerely,
Megan Grove

I just wanted to write to tell you that I had a wonderful time in Egypt,
thanks to your team. Everything went very smoothly. My guides were amazing!!
One thing, the young man who helped me in Cairo -I can't remember his name.
I feel really bad--on the last day, I wanted VERY MUCH to give him a tip, but
I did not have any more money. Also, I can't remember his name. Can you tell
me his name and tell me how I can send him a tip for all his help?

Thank you

We enjoyed ourselves very much. There was some initial confusion over our vehicle rental. Mr. Ashraf had the impression that we were renting the van for 1/2 days instead of full days. This caused us to lose our first driver, Mohammad, because he was booked to take another group to the Sinai. The guide, Fatima, was not nice to us - she refused to answer our questions and got sad when we didn't want to stand for 20 minutes listening to her lecture Other than that, the trip was great. The vans provided were very comfortable and both of our drivers were very professional and nice to us. I would happily recommend using your service to my friends and relatives as long as they did not need a guide.

Hi Ask-Aladdin,
 
Apologies for the delayed response, life gets very busy after returning from a trip as I am sure you appreciate. I would only be too happy to provide feedback on the trip as we had a wonderful time and have both been recommending you company to many of our friends and family.
 
Even before we booked the trip Raouf was very prompt with his responses to my questions and very helpful with his answers and his customer service was part of the reason we chose your company. Walid who met us at the airport was again very helpful and explained out itinerary to us in great detail to confirm we had no questions or queries. He was also very good at checking in with us throughout the trip to make sure everything was adequate and we had no questions, this added a personal touch that made us still feel included even though it was a private tour. Super Sam our driver was indeed super and an excellent driver - by far your best driver and we will remember him always. All our guides where very informative, spoke excellent English and gave us all the required information without overloading us with facts and figures. We felt like we had adequate time to explore each location both with and without the guide and plenty of free time overall. All our hotels where excellent and for the most part accommodating when we requested a double room rather than a twin. The cruise on the Nile was amazing with a beautiful cabin onboard the boat, we where unaware of the optional extra to see Abu Simbel before returning to Cairo however that is partly our fault for not knowing or asking sooner. Overall we could not fault the tour and had a wonderful time, by far the most memorable and enjoyable tour we have ever been on and one which we will talk about for some time. I would have no hesitations recommending your company to anyone who asked and wish to thank you and your staff once again for making Egypt a truly memorable experience for us.
 
Kind Regards,
