"We had another fabulous travel experience, a 10 day family trip to Egypt, including a river cruise with sightseeing along the Nile and a few days in Cairo. Everything was planned brilliantly both in terms of the itinerary and assistance before and during the trip. Our local guides were also the best you could ask for. Staying at Mena House was also absolutely amazing and we had a fabulous room overlooking the pyramids. A big thank you to Ross for making sure that everything went perfectly all along! We'll certainly come back for our next adventure!"
