    travelers to Egypt

    "Our tour of Egypt was superb in all respects. The tour guides were certified Egyptologist, spoke flawless English, and were eager to answer all questions. Accommodations and food were first rate and the cruise up the Nile exceeded expectations. We plan to take another tour soon."
