I just finished the Bali 9 day tour and had the best time thanks to the wonderful Adele. What a gem she is. She made the trip a once in a lifetime adventure! Thanks so much Adele.
Amazed this tour still ran with just 3 people! Aldo gave us a fine tour with a balance of Mayan sites and other interesting stops: boat ride to view wildlife, cenotes, thermal springs, chocolate production. Lots on history and contemporary politics too. I especially enjoyed walk through the jungle with biologist who identified mushrooms, plants, trees in the jungle. The hotels were more than adequate. At one, the howler monkeys came very close - their loud calls/roar were startling, incredible. Aldo was warm, easy going, humorous. Definitely recommend him as a very knowledgeable guide!
My friend and I arrived at Cairo airport, after flying on Egypt Air from New York . We were met by Mohamad. He got our Visas and took us to a car and we were driven to Fairmont Nile city. The hotel was lovely. We were picked up later by our guide Ahmed , an Egyptologist, and driver we started our tour in Cairo by visiting the Great Pyramid, then on to Saqqara, a carpet making school. The next day we saw the Hanging Church, the market and we had a wonderful Egyptian lunch, then the Egyptian museum. The following day we flew to Luxor and met our next guide, another Egyptologist Saad, , who took us for our 5 days Nile cruise on the Minerva Cruise. Saad led us to all the sites from Luxor to Aswan . The ship had a wonderful crew, and all trips to the Temples and tombs were seamless. We took a fun hot air balloon ride in Luxor. The guides, the food, the hotels and flights were all perfect. We felt safe and cared for the whole trip.
