Leisurely arrangements were appreciated for the long trip, and the Mena Hotel in Giza was excellent. The prompt response was appreciated when communicating with Original Travel, and the greetings at the airport were outstanding. The Steamship Sudan was very impressive.

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.

Our time in Egypt was unforgettable, there were no problems at any point during our trip. We were always able to communicate right away with our Concierge team through WhatsApp, and our itinerary was clearly laid out in the Original Travel app. The whole experience was like living in a dream. Our whole experience with Original Travel from beginning to end was wonderful, and we are so grateful for the help we received in planning a trip we will never forget.

We had a wonderful time in Egypt and all the arrangements worked very well. The Old Cataract hotel was very special, the newly refurbished modern block, where we were, was very comfortable. We not only had lovely views over the Nile, but also of the old hotel. The Hilton in Luxor was also a wonderfully quiet and spacious place to relax and enjoy our last night. We were very happy not to be in the hullabaloo of down town Luxor. The SS Sudan was wonderful, we were very well looked after. The food and all services were excellent. We were very glad that you suggested/insisted that we took the Agatha Christie suite. We felt very privileged to have the splendid panoramic views and extra space. All our visits from the boat were very well guided by Ead, I think there were about ten of us in the English speaking group, which was fine. Very many thanks once again to you and your team, for putting together what was a very successful holiday for the four of us. Thank you also for the lovely edition of Death on The Nile that you sent prior to our departure. I will treasure it as a memory from our holiday in Egypt.

Outstanding guides, especially Muhammad in Abu Simbal and Hoda in Cairo. The SS Sudan was outstanding, and our most memorable moment was the farmhouse meal in the desert near Cairo.
