The SS Sudan and crew were absolutely perfect. There were so many highlights. The guides were exceptional and brought every tomb and temple to life.

Exploring Egypt was always my childhood dream but planning a trip to Africa felt like a daunting task. With the expert care and thoughtful collaboration of the entire Original Travel Team, my luxury trip became an unforgettable experience. I used to plan and travel solo but now I know I have incredible guides for anywhere I want to go next.

Thank you to all involved for the incredible support, customer service and organisation experienced during the course of our amazing holiday. From the moment we arrived at Heathrow, all the stress of the journey was taken in hand by your representative, and this continued throughout our stays in Cairo, Luxor, on board the SS Sudan and at Aswan. Really first class and beyond our expectations. Please pass on our congratulations to all involved, especially those on the ground in Egypt. Carling don’t do holidays, but if they did, they would name themselves Original Travel. Well done, we loved every minute, even Egypt Air. Thank you so much.

Our trip of a lifetime to Egypt and Jordan has concluded. We had a great time, thanks to your outstanding efforts on the front end and the consistently high level support of the Original Travel teams based in Egypt and Jordan. They were terrific! We want to thank you and your wonderful local team members in Egypt and Jordan for making our trip so enjoyable. We are very grateful for the extremely knowledgeable tour guides we had throughout the trip, who shared their deep knowledge of the sites we toured. The experience aboard the Steam Ship Sudan was outstanding. Our cabin was spacious and very comfortable, the SS Sudan staff were highly professional and very welcoming, and we enjoyed our dining experiences throughout. Our knowledgeable guide in Jordan was outstanding, which set a very positive tone for a great — but much too brief — tour of the wonders of Jordan. Little things mean a lot, and the personal touches Mohammad provided, including a great lunch at a sidewalk falafel and fruit juice stand, were much appreciated. Once again, many thanks to you and your entire Original Travel team in Egypt and Jordan. We had a terrific time, thanks to you. We will highly recommend Original Travel to our friends, and will think of you first for any future travel to Africa and the Middle East.

You were very helpful with all our questions. We loved the whole trip. The Steam Ship is incredible, although it was all wonderful and both other hotels were lovely. The Old Cataract was amazing with its setting and arriving on a felucca was wonderful. Thank you! Oh, and the other services were excellent - the app is great.

It was probably our best ever holiday. All of the accommodation was exceptional. The Old Cataract Hotel at Aswan was outstanding, the SS Sudan is totally unique and the experience was really special. An exceptional standard of service, amazing food (thanks to the French owners), great guiding around the world’s most incredible historical sites and some welcome relaxation drifting down the Nile. I was really impressed by your service and, importantly, the holiday provided. Outstanding from start to finish. Thank you.
