Dreams of Egypt
This is a very well organised tour which covers all the main sites in Egypt including a trip to Alexandria and El Alamein. Although there is a packed itinerary we never felt particularly rushed. This was helped by a good group size of 14. Both our national tour guide, Shady, and our Egyptologist, Karim, were excellent and knowledgeable right from beginning to the end of the tour. They helped us negotiate through the general chaos of the airports from obtaining our visas to ensuring we were safely through security checks and checked in for our flights home. Not only did we receive comprehensive information at each historical site but also had many opportunities to discuss what modern day life is like for the Egyptians. There were many highlights on the tour but we particularly enjoyed visiting the newly opened Great Egyptian Museum seeing the Tutankhamen exhibition and entering the incredibly well preserved tomb of Sety I in the Valley of the Kings.
The food was of a good standard throughout our stay but particularly good on the boat where the accommodation was excellent. The only hotel that was probably below the standard we expected was the Hilton in Alexandria which was sadly disappointing and a change from the originally scheduled hotel. You should also be aware that there are a number of very early starts in the day either to ensure seats on an internal flight or to reach a historic site before too many tourists arrived. We did not find this to be a problem but some in our group found these days to be very tiring. We would recommend taking or exchanging some money for small denomination Egyptian pounds to cover drinks and public toilets.
If you have ever wanted to visit Egypt to see and learn about it's culture then we would highly recommend this tour.

Made a telephone call to Wendy Wu Trável with some queries about a holiday we wished to book. Spoke to Natasha who was very helpful and knowledgeable with regard to our questions and she also completed the booking process for us over the phone so that we didn’t need to do it ourselves online.

Just to let anyone who is interested in birds and wildlife that this is fantastic adventure with our very knowledgable guide, Jorge who was a veritable encyclopedia of facts and figures. We saw so many beautiful bird/reptiles species. Each of the places we visited were different with highlights not be missed including night walks river trips and zip wires over the cloud forest. Our careful driver Jose was excellent. Accommodation and meals were fine with a couple of exceptional meals including a leisurely lunch on a barge like boat whilst slowly drifting down the Tortuguero river plus a lunch time meal close to Arenal .. delicious. Overall an exceptional holiday made even better by our 11 convivial travelling companions.
