Our trip was wonderful, more beautiful than we imagined. Regardless of the magnificence of Egyptian treasures, your local team was very kind, and we received very efficient assistance at all times. The hotels were fabulous and the cruise a dream: it was like living in an old movie. I love photography and took some wonderful pictures. Thanks again for everything, I'm sure we will travel together again.

We just want to thank Lucy for the extraordinary job she has done in organising our honeymoon. She understood what we wanted and made sure to cater the trip to that. Everything was spectacular. If I had to think of one highlight, it would be waking up with the Nile, like liquid silver, flowing past us in silence. The whole trip was beyond what we expected and the services offered by Original Travel are flawless. We have recommended the agency already to family and friends and will be travelling with you many times again.

We were super impressed with the Steam Ship Sudan - such wonderful rooms, details, staff - just amazing. The help you organised at the airports was wonderful - great people and they made the whole thing so much less stressful. Honestly, this holiday was everything I had hoped for and my parents had an absolute ball. We loved it. Thank you again.

From start to finish, all of our interactions with the staff at Original Travel were absolutely first class. They were so invested in us and that helped ensure that we had the trip of a lifetime! This trip exceeded all of our expectations and dreams, which were very high. It was amazing knowing that we could reach out to Original Travel at any time and that someone would be there to help us, no matter where we were or what our concerns were. It was definitely a VIP experience from beginning to end! All I can say is that we are now loyal OT clients for LIFE! Please keep up the good work and do not change how you do things! There is a lot in this life that money can buy, but you cannot put a price on good people and customer service, which OT has in abundance.

From the moment we got in touch with Original Travel - the booking process and all our questions were dealt with promptly. Exceptional - we feel like VIPs! Our trip on the SS Sudan and the sites that we visited along the Nile were the absolute highlight. Our experience was made extra special with our excellent guide, Abdul.

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.

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.

We had a wonderful experience in Egypt. We wish to thank you for all the arrangements. Cruise on the Nile on the Steamship Sudan was the best part. The view, atmosphere, smooth cruise and relaxing time was more than expected. Your arranging the Lady Duff Gordon suite for us was much appreciated. The staff on the steamship was very agreeable. Of the guides, David in Cairo has our praise. Not only knowledgeable, but kind and a very warm personality. All in all, I have high appreciation of your professionalism. Thank you again, James, for all your kindness and professional work.

We had the most amazing time. I think we had very high expectations at the start and they were comfortably met and exceeded throughout. A big thank you to you and your colleagues who were all fully committed to helping us get the most from our trip. The experience on the SS Sudan was exceptional. We were extremely happy with our room and, on consideration, preferred the period ambiance of our room to the more modern suites we saw. The service on board was exemplary. We felt extremely secure with all the staff, guides and representatives taking great care to ensure our safety. As a result we could really enjoy every moment to the full and were most definitely made to feel special and well looked after throughout. Our trip to Abu Simbel was well worth the drive and we were particularly taken with our guide Rasha on this excursion. She really listened carefully to our questions, and gave us clear relevant answers. Her command of English was particularly outstanding which helped enormously. Houda also covered an immense amount of ground in Cairo and helped us get the most out of our visits especially in the Cairo Museum. We have been so delighted with our experience with Original Travel I feel sure that we would be likely to book another holiday with you. Thanks again. This has been our best holiday ever.
