The trip was amazing and perfectly planned, and our guide during the Nile cruise was wonderful.

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.

Beautiful experience in Egypt on the SS Sudan. A step back in time on this Belle Époque steam ship, beautiful service, great staff and wonderful surroundings!

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.

Everyone at Original Travel was helpful during the process. Your guides brought ancient Egyptians back to life. Sailing on the Steam Ship Sudan was lovely. The Concierge was absolutely outstanding.

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.

Lucy was outstanding. It was our first time travelling with you and I was very impressed by the service.

Absolutely outstanding service. So many 'extra' services that all worked and meant we had absolutely minimal involvement in the administrative sides of the trip. You exceeded expectations throughout the trip and it was one of the best holidays (and we've had a lot!) we've ever had. Would use Original Travel again at the drop of a hat and I'm talking to Frances this morning about a trip to the Himalayas. Well done guys; fantastic job.

The level of service was exceptional. Our guides, drivers and airport service were excellent. The local Concierge always touched base and let us know they were available, and it was very nice to have the liaison at the airport. The Steam Ship Sudan was fantastic.
