Felucca Journey in Egypt, independent reviews
 Reviewed 5 Nov 2006 by Chris Oldfield |  |
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The seven days spent travelling down the Nile and the immenseness of the desert.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Take along your video camera as no one really worried about whether you used it or not. I had read that video cameras could pose problems so left mine at home and really regretted not having it.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Through the use of local guides, drivers and restaurants but not with regard to homeless, or underprivileged groups.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The Felucca Journey in Egypt was the most memorable holiday that I have been on and so I must say a BIG thank you to responsibletravel.com. It's very hard to pick out one part of the trip and say yes that was the most memorable, so instead I shall say: "What the ancient Egyptians built thousands of years ago is still breath taking today".
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Pack light as there are many things to buy and be prepared to haggle.
3. Any areas for improvement?
The only thing I can think of changing would be that the tour should spend one more night in Hurghada and not in Cairo.
