We travelled to Egypt this month, March 2018 with SOTC. We had apprehensions about this group based on the various reviews online and to add to it there were concerns about safety in a place like Egypt. However we decided to take a chance and we were munificently rewarded.
The tour was well organized giving us enough personal time vs the sight-seeing travels .Yes, we had to wake up at dawn multiple times however that was to avoid the harsh weather in the afternoons.
The watchful eye of the punctual tour manager Winston Gonsalves ensured our safety at all times. In addition he kept us updated throughout the day about the activities planned. Food provided had a very good mix of healthy and tasty items and a lot of variety.
Our guide Franc was the highlight of the tour.He made our visit to every temple or location intriguing.His knowledge on the historical and contemporary heritage of Egypt and his eloquent communication kept us engaged throughout the journey.
Fortunately the weather was great. Nile cruise is something you don't want to miss.I spent majority of my time on the deck during the cruise enjoying the intoxicating breeze, watching the sun set on the green villages along the banks of the river.
Things that need attention -
1) Transparency on the Optional tours in advance
2) Group photo missed out
