What people love about Luxury Tours in Africa
- 10 Day Classic Egypt with 4 Day Nile Cruise from New York (airfare included)
We would like to thank Magdy for a very well organised trip to Egypt for our family this Easter. Our guides, Basem and Ibrahim, are very professional in their work. Enjoyed the Nile Cruise on M/S Blue Shadow and everything was planned to perfection. I will highly recommend to all to book through Vacations To Go travel
- Pharaohs and Pyramids (Luxury Private tour)
I also wanted to write to thank you for all your hard work and many kindnesses that made our trip such a wonderful experience. From the first time I contacted you over three years ago, the service you provided has been outstanding. I know that the pandemic caused significant disruptions in the tourism business, and I really appreciate the fact that your many courtesies and professionalism went above and beyond what I expected. The trip was perfect. Your attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly. The accommodations were excellent, the airport transfers all went smoothly, the itinerary you planned could not be improved upon. Everyone from your office was wonderful and they ensured that we had a memorable time. I did want to single out George for special praise. Everyone was quite impressed with the breadth and depth of his knowledge, his enthusiasm, and his kindness. In fact, as I had hoped, several of our group (and some others) want to return to Egypt after the GEM opens and see Egypt in greater depth, and everyone said “We want to come again if we can have George as our guide.” Most people in our group have traveled together for 20 years. Usually, we go to Mexico and visit one state at a time and learn its history and culture. We have one guide (Patricio) that we have always viewed as the very best. After the first day with George, everyone said “George is as good as Patricio.” After the second day with George, everyone said “George is the best we have ever seen.” I know you both went out of your way to be helpful and accommodating, and I appreciate it tremendously and will recommend you to all our friends. I already reviewed the Jordan portion of the trip for your office in Jordan, but I wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time in Jordan also, and Moussa made it very enjoyable. Everything in Jordan ran as smoothly as the Egypt portion of our trip, and several people would like to return to Jordan as well. Thank you again for planning and executing a once-in=-a-lifetime trip. Martine

Experience Morocco and see the country with Cultural Morocco Tours. Highly recommend.
