Egyptian Voyager 3
Sue, QLD, Australia, Sep 2019
This trip was everything I wanted and hoped it would be! :-) Thank you so much for suggesting this trip and making it work for us. The itinerary was very full but covered everything we wanted to see and more. The bus, the boat and the most of the accommodations were great - friendly, clean and courteous. Our guide was absolutely fantastic! He made read more our trip! His knowledge, explanations, consideration, help and friendliness made everything that was great even better!
My one complaint was the Hilton Ramses. It was crowded, noisy and an unwelcoming place. From a wedding in full cry in reception, overcrowding and not enough tables for guest numbers at breakfast, early checkouts made very difficult by slow and overcrowded lifts, men physically pushing and shoving in crowded public areas (reception and into/out of lifts). This is no reflection on the trip itself but certainly is a criticism of the hotel.

I & T Jones, Australia, Jan 2015
We had a fantastic trip. Our travel director's knowledge was fantastic and we saw so many amazing sights. The cruise along the Nile was wonderful and all of the Egyptians we met were so welcoming. Thanks to Michelle at Global Journeys for all her help and advice.
