The cruise on the SS Sudan was excellent. I think we hit the jackpot with the guide assigned to our group of six for the various trips from the Sudan. The trips to the Valley of the Kings and Queens was thoroughly fascinating. Our guide and driver in Cairo were very good indeed. The whole trip was memorable really from start to finish.

There's not enough space here to express how great this trip was, thanks to Original Travel. The entire trip was memorable and the expert Egyptologist guide made it even more meaningful. Holly could not have been more accommodating and more helpful, and she really made the trip special for us.

James, who put our holiday together, was very efficient and knowledgeable about all the places we were visiting or staying at in Egypt, we couldn't fault any of his planning. In fact, re accommodation, we were glad he suggested we should take a suite on the boat. Staying in the modernised part of the Old Cataract Hotel in Aswan was good. For our last night in Luxor he suggested the Hilton, which was quiet and relaxed and just what was needed. We felt able to have full confidence that all our transfers and meet ups, with guides and support staff would happen according to our schedule. The app with our holiday details was very useful. Our hotels were all excellent as expected. The four nights on SS Sudan were superb, we feel very privileged to have been able to do the Nile cruise section of our holiday on such a special boat, with a superb team running the hotel side of things. The restaurant was very good and the superb food and service surpassed our expectations. Using the app and WhatsApp to make contact worked well. Our guides in Cairo and Abu Simbel were excellent. We learned a lot about Ancient Egypt and Egypt today. Keep up the good work…. We would definitely consider using Original Travel for future holidays.

Ben was amazing. He was so responsive and helpful and planned the perfect trip. Our guide in Cairo, Mamoud, was outstanding. We had little need for the concierges because everything was planned so well. They were very responsive. The tomb of Nefertari and the valley of the workers was amazing. The Cataract Hotel was a real highlight.

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.
