Holiday Reviews
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same trip can have different views!

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Probably the drives through Cairo - never seen pedestrians dice with death quite so much. On the culture part of it, Valley of the Kings tombs - the sheer vividness of the colours.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Good to take up some of the options in "free" time but don’t' fit too much in or you'll be too whacked at the end to enjoy.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
Not really - we were encouraged to spend lots of money in the souks, but was very aware of our luxury lifestyle.
4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent - it was also made so by the other families - we all got on really well.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
A number of things come to mind, the Pyramids & Sphinx at Giza, Tutankamen exhibition at the Egyptian Museum, Valley of the Kings, spending the day/night aboard the Felucca on the Nile, watching the kids camel riding, snorkelling at the Red Sea, the sights & sounds of the bazaars - plus the company of a very nice family we travelled with.
2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Do it.
3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?
