Fantastic tour of Egypt by Abdalla. Excellent airport escort at the gate - not after immigration! Great transportation and overall planning. Jordan - good itinerary. Petra, camping in the desert, and the Dead Sea were my highlights. Sammy did a solid job. Israel - really nice guide but not at the same level as Abdilla and Sammy. I would recommend cutting a few churches off the itinerary and adding at least a day in Tel Aviv.EXTREMELY POOR communication and scheduling. We were not told that it is MANDATORY to have a cell phone for this tour in order to make connections at the airports, borders, or tour agents in Egypt. The only way to access the room in the Israel hotel was thru a cell phone app! Also, we were not...
EXTREMELY POOR communication and scheduling. We were not told that it is MANDATORY to have a cell phone for this tour in order to make connections at the airports, borders, or tour agents in Egypt. The only way to access the room in the Israel hotel was thru a cell phone app! Also, we were not told there was NO DEDICATED tour guide with us thru out the entire tour. Every day there was a different tour guide which you had to meet up with, often not knowing even what time he would meet you. The only breakfasts we got were on the cruise ship and the one day at the Wadi Rum camp, otherwise, every single day we got a very, very poor breakfast box. The scheduling was a nightmare. The breakfast at the Tel Aviv hotel started at 7:30 but the tours picked us up at 6:40 every morning! The transfer from Jordan to Egypt was awful. From the Jordan - Israel border we went thru Eilat, then thru the Israel - Egypt border, then a 3 hour drive to the hotel in Sharm El-Sheikh. It was almost midnight before we got to our room and we had to get up at 4:00 for the flight to Cairo!! This should have been more specific in our itinerary. Also, NO ONE on the Nile cruise ship spoke good English, not even the ship front desk manager. Also, the ship had no knowledge of our tours or the tour guides each day. NO COMMUNICATION between the ship, the tour guides, and the tourists. I would not recommend this tour by Booking Tours to anyone. This tour was misrepresented in every way. NO WAY is it a Luxury tour.Highlight after highlight. The pace of our tour was excellent with chill days well placed. All our hotels were excellent and exceeded expectations.

Highlight after highlight. The pace of our tour was excellent with chill days well placed. All our hotels were excellent and exceeded expectations. The sites were mind-blowing, the people on our trip were diverse which added to the experience and we made some great new friends. What made our trip, however, was our Egyptologist and tour guide Ramdan. The man's passion and love for his country and its incredible history enriched our experience greatly. His knowledge is phenomenal and his communication skills and storytelling are second to none. Ramadan went way beyond his regular duties and extended himself to become our friend as well. He took us to places outside of our itinerary because he wanted to and was available for support outside his regular working hours. I would highly recommend this tour for its mind-blowing sites, passionate and knowledgeable tour guides, extraordinary history, the friendships made as well as the hospitality of the locals. At no stage did we feel our safety was compromised either. I would happily travel through Egypt, Jordan or Israel again and catch the sites we missed on this trip. Having said that I would like to thank Booking-tours for providing a memorable experience, all our new friends for enhancing the experience and especially Ramadan for being a wonderful Egyptologist, tour guide and dear friend!If you want a reliable, well-coordinated stress-free tour where your every need are looked after from the time you land to the time you leave; and taken around by quality tour guides and Egyptologists, look no further Look at Booking Tours is a really professional outfit and we can't be happier t...
If you want a reliable, well-coordinated stress-free tour where your every need are looked after from the time you land to the time you leave; and taken around by quality tour guides and Egyptologists, look no further Look at Booking Tours is a really professional outfit and we can't be happier that we chose to travel with them on our recent trip to Egypt and Jordan and Jerusalem. Like most travelers, we have been warned about the pushy vendors and operators. Fortunately, we saw none of that, as our guide Randa, was not only knowledgeable and courteous, she made sure we were safe at all times and kept all the vendors at bay. Randa also gave us advice about what to do, how much to tip and we felt really safe and hence, I completely enjoyed the rich history and atmosphere of Egypt. After Cairo, we flew to Luxor to commence the 4-night Nile cruise on MS Nile style. I couldn't be more pleased with the accommodation on this cruise. Rooms were very nicely fitted and they had a top deck that was very tasteful, where we could relax and just take in the journey on the historic Nile. Thanks to Remon, we had a safe and pleasant ride in the horse carriage to the Temple of Horus in Edfu. Jordan and Jerusalem were the next stop Murad look after us from start to finish. We couldn't compliment Murad enough. He really loved Jordan and her enthusiasm for sharing her knowledge of Jordan made us love Jordan as much as she does. From Amman to Petra and Jerusalem churches and we lost in the spirituality and, we really had a fantastic holiday and was sad to leave. We have to thank also Artium the owner of Booking tours who was following with us all the time, Randa and Remon and Murad our guides, Ramadan our assistant in Cairo all our drivers everywhere and apologize for not remember their names. thank youEvery aspect of this tour was outstanding, from the days in Cairo to the Nile River cruise to the days in Jordan and Israel.

Every aspect of this tour was outstanding, from the days in Cairo to the Nile River cruise to the days in Jordan and Israel. We asked for extra days in Israel and Ibrahim our driver and guide there stayed with us even on the extra days. Both Ibrahim and Muhamed were excellent caretakers, and the food and accommodation was well worth the price of the tour.We had just returned from this spectacular tour We had just returned from this spectacular tour.
