There were many memorable moments: the Pyramids of Giza, the Valley of the Kings, the SS Sudan, Cataract Hotel - and lots more! It was the trip of a lifetime, and your staff seem to love working for the company, which is a great recommendation. The Concierges at Cairo Airport and at Aswan were particularly good. Thanks to everyone who helped make the trip memorable.

Original Travel was super helpful in tailoring to our needs. The Concierge was highly knowledgeable on all fronts. Undoubtedly one of our best trips ever - all of the tours, the SS Sudan and The Old Cataract Hotel were all highlights!

Jamie was fantastic - she designed the trip as we requested with wonderful input and expertise. The accommodations were outstanding throughout, the communication was very good and the hot spot was indispensable. The Concierges were spot on, helpful and attentive. The guides and drivers were great, and the cruise on the Steam Ship Sudan was perfect. Loved the travel app, I used it throughout the trip to track our schedule.

The entire Original Travel team were extremely helpful. Extremely efficient responses, took the time to answer all my questions and tailored the trip to exactly what we wanted. The hospitality at both stays was incredible. Especially appreciated the team on board the boat who accommodated our dietary requirements amazingly, and put together a wonderful, memorable anniversary for my parents. The app and the Dossier shared ahead of the trip were amazing, and the airport services were a lovely additional perk!

Lucy was extremely knowledgeable about Egypt. She gave us a lot of options, great suggestions and guided us so we would get the most out of our trip. She was a pleasure to work with. Communication was outstanding from the entire team in Egypt. The trip of a lifetime! Our days on the Nile aboard the SS Sudan were the highlight. Our guides throughout the trip were excellent - extremely knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about the history of their country.

The Old Cataract was just sublime, and the crew of the SS Sudan went way above and beyond whenever they could. The guides were all interesting and very informative, and obviously very much knew their stuff. All the Concierges were unfailingly polite, helpful and spoke superb English - we very much felt at ease in their hands. We said often that this was one of our best holidays, and staying in the Agatha Christie suite on the SS Sudan was absolutely wonderful.

Ben was excellent and gave us lots of options. He booked us into the Queen Victoria suite on board the Steam Ship Sudan which was fabulous and on the better starboard side. All hotels were very good with excellent staff. The S S Sudan was totally superb. Best trip of our lifetime.
