Egypt

It was a truly amazing trip - we loved the sights, the people in Egypt were so kind, the food was fantastic, our hotels were top notch and the support we received from Original Travel made the trip so easy. The thoughtful birthday gift was a kind surprise that made me feel extra special.

Frances listened, adapted and put together an amazing trip to India. She couldn't have been any better. The Concierge was also great, he was always one step ahead of us. Organised, efficient and helpful. Very impressive. There were too many memorable moments to list out but safe to say the trip exceeded all expectations. Frances is a complete star and deserves all the plaudits for a truly amazing holiday. Thank you.

Our trip to Sri Lanka was outstanding, and Frances was exceptional in catering to our wants and needs. The hotels were excellent and the wildlife spotting in Wilpattu National Park was a real highlight.

Our Original Travel trip to London, Edinburgh and Dublin was wonderful. The drivers and guides were courteous, knowledgeable and exceeded our expectations. The highlights of our trip were the guided tour of the British Museum and attending an Arsenal football match.

We are pretty seasoned travellers and really appreciated the steps and time saved by relying on Original Travel. It saved us the potential challenging and not fun bits of any travel adventure and added loads of certainty and fun. Thank you!

Egypt

We had a lot of helpful guidance for a trip to a country we had never visited. It was the SS Sudan that was the reason for the trip and Egypt was incidental! The ship certainly has the WOW Factor. However, of course, Egypt’s Tombs and Temples are magnificent and Mustafa, our guide, made them come to life. Fatma was great at the Nubian Museum too and we got a good sense of Nubian life from her having lived in a Nubian village all her life. Ahmed at Luxor was a delight and a surprise to see at the Passport Control and looked after us well until we alighted the SS Sudan. Mina at Aswan went above and beyond. Even arranged a boat and escorted us to our Apertif treat at the Cataract Hotel and got us a boat to get back to the hotel. Our consultant was Lucy and we had great faith in her, she did a good job. The highlight, of course, was SS Sudan. A breathtaking ship. All crew, food, half days spent reading on the ship. Everything happened like clockwork, we never had to wait or wonder what was happening. I loved the early morning starts driving through country villages waking up and seeing the children going to school and the bread coming out of the ovens. Overall, you provided us with a holiday with amazing memories. We look forward to another trip with Original Travel in the future.

James - thank you. We had a truly wonderful and memorable trip. Everything that Original Travel had a hand in was perfect. Our time at Lewa was perfect and Sirikoi is very special. Sarara was also great and we loved the Samburu experience. Kinondo Kwetu is also a special place. I was not expecting the food to be a highlight, but it was a revelation. We will go back to Kenya. We will go back to Sirikoi. We will probably go back to Sarara. We are properly happy punters. James and Team – thank you.

Everything was absolutely pitch perfect - it really could not have been improved upon! It was a magical experience. The time spent with various Samburu men & women was incredibly interesting. I really appreciated the fact that all three places were either set up for / run by / contributing to & therefore truly part of the local community - it really showed. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh & wonderful, as were ALL the staff & guides. I cannot wait to go back! Thank you to James & all the team at Original Travel.
