- Luxury Tour in Egypt-9 Day
Everything about our experience with Tour radar from the airport till the end of out trip was 5 stars. They had arranged one of their staff members to usher us in effortlessly without having to cue up at the gates. The guides were were very informative and supportive throughout our trip. With regards to organisation and management of the overall trip I can only give them 5 stars and more. There were so many unique things about this trip- the guides checked on us every single day making sure we were all ok and that if there was anything we weren't happy about out. We added two optional tours and that was managed quite well. The food had good variety and the Nile cruise was excellent.
