What people love about Budget Tours in Asia
- The 5 Stan-s - Follow in the footsteps of Genghis Khan
Good deal compared with its price. I met more good friends with this trip. Some accommodations and transportation are better than others however I had a good time with new friends from Australia, America and Europe when exploring the Central Asia which are not known much to the world.
- Holyland Israel & Jordan and Egypt Tour with Nile Cruise - 18 Days
PROS: Guides in all three countries were extremely knowledgeable and gave interesting incites to history of sites that were visited. All of ancient sites listed were visited on tour. Enough time was given at each place. Hotels were clean and staff helpful. Included breakfasts were large and plentiful buffets. NEUTRAL: People on tour were from multiple tour companies so that as trip progressed new people joined as others left tour. Only a few people were booked on my particular tour. Tour buses were comfortable and stopped often enough for bathroom breaks. CONS: Because of people being on different tours with different companies very few were staying at the same hotel. This meant that starting at 7 am people were picked up at various hotels around the city. It took from one to three hours to pick up all the people so that if yours was the first hotel pickup...you spent hours as others were picked up. The same applied at the end of the day. Crossing a large city, such as Tel Aviv or Cairo took the same one to three hours of drop off time. This additional time meant less sleep and more frustration for tour members. Because of these long days little time was left at the end of the day for nighttime viewing of the cities or shopping for souvenirs. The only times for shopping were those included in the tours by the tour companies at stores with which they had an affiliation. These were places to purchase herbs and teas; olive wood curios; and oils and perfumes. DO NOT buy from the "Egyptian Perfume Giza". The $100 you spend on a bottle of "perfume" (which has been securely shrink wrapped-supposedly to keep it from leaking in your suitcase on the way home) turns out to be a barely scented oil when opened upon your return home.
I really enjoyed the content of the tour. Our bus drivers and tour guides were very knowledgeable.
