Pat was amazing, a true credit to Original Travel. He pulled together a fantastic itinerary and made insightful suggestions for things we could do that we hadn't thought of. He was generous with his time and expertise. We couldn't have asked for more. Would give 5+ if the ratings scale above allowed me to! The comms coming out of the UK are great. The app is particularly good. Some really lovely gifts awaited us at the hotels / on the boats courtesy of Original Travel. This was totally unexpected and very much appreciated. We had the holiday of a lifetime. We have zero complaints and wouldn't change a single aspect of our holiday. Give Pat a massive bonus! He's an incredible ambassador for your company and really knows his stuff. Truly outstanding.

We had the most wonderful holiday! Starting with our arrival in a tiny plane at Lewa I felt like Denis Finch-Hatton. The lodge was so lovely and our safari guide, Zion, was just superb. He found all the animals we hoped for and each evening took us to an exquisite spot for gin and tonics. Manda Bay was enchanting. Our rondavels were luxurious and we were looked after royalty, including dinner on the beach by candlelight. We hired a dhow to go fishing and another day to go snorkelling. Arriving eventually in Nairobi for our return, we were met by Melanie the concierge and taken to the Shereton for dinner which was a great improvement to dining at the airport. She looked after us beautifully. Now it is lovely to be home though pretty chilly. I cannot thank you and your team enough for organising everything so well. A triumph.

Leisurely arrangements were appreciated for the long trip, and the Mena Hotel in Giza was excellent. The prompt response was appreciated when communicating with Original Travel, and the greetings at the airport were outstanding. The Steamship Sudan was very impressive.

The trip exceeded expectations and was worth every penny. The SS Sudan's charm lies in it's history, its uniqueness, and its old-world ambience. The Concierges were great problem solvers. Also, the meet and greet worked well and it was great to have help at passport control. Our most memorable moments were sunsets on the Nile, the staff singing birthday songs and excursions.

Our time in Egypt was unforgettable, there were no problems at any point during our trip. We were always able to communicate right away with our Concierge team through WhatsApp, and our itinerary was clearly laid out in the Original Travel app. The whole experience was like living in a dream. Our whole experience with Original Travel from beginning to end was wonderful, and we are so grateful for the help we received in planning a trip we will never forget.

Overall, we had a great holiday; it was all very enjoyable. It was really nice dealing with Meg. She was very helpful, and nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend her, and we would definitely book through Original Travel again.

We had a wonderful time in Egypt and all the arrangements worked very well. The Old Cataract hotel was very special, the newly refurbished modern block, where we were, was very comfortable. We not only had lovely views over the Nile, but also of the old hotel. The Hilton in Luxor was also a wonderfully quiet and spacious place to relax and enjoy our last night. We were very happy not to be in the hullabaloo of down town Luxor. The SS Sudan was wonderful, we were very well looked after. The food and all services were excellent. We were very glad that you suggested/insisted that we took the Agatha Christie suite. We felt very privileged to have the splendid panoramic views and extra space. All our visits from the boat were very well guided by Ead, I think there were about ten of us in the English speaking group, which was fine. Very many thanks once again to you and your team, for putting together what was a very successful holiday for the four of us. Thank you also for the lovely edition of Death on The Nile that you sent prior to our departure. I will treasure it as a memory from our holiday in Egypt.
