We have returned safely from Egypt just two days
before the anti-American protests started. The trip exceeded our
expectations. Out of the places we have seen in the world, Egypt holds
number one position for manmade attractions. That places it over the China
Great Wall, Forbidden City, the Thailand Royal Palace, Machu Picchu and
Pompeii, etc. Your company did a terrifically great job. The
manager Ahmed had everything well organized and responded to our requests.
The individual guide, Wael, was very knowledgeable and conscientious about
his job. As an example he traveled over night by bus from Aswan to meet us
in the morning at the museum in Cairo. The original boat that we were put on, the Nile Story
was cancelled but Ahmed got us transferred to the Nile Solaris, the boat of
our choice, which was great. When we flew to Abu Simbel we didn’t know what
to do with our luggage. To resolve this problem, Wael kept it in Aswan and
met us at the airport with the luggage when we transferred planes to Cairo. A great trip, without any sense of insecurity. We
highly recommend. Thank you very much. Margret & Verlin Rasmussen, Cape Coral, FL
------------------------------------------------------------------- Just a quick note to thank
you for your role in our most outstanding Egyptian vacation. All of the
accommodations and arrangements that you set up ran seamlessly and met or
exceeded our expectations.
I am so glad that you recommended transfers
to and from the ship to the airport/train station.
It would have been a challenge to arrange
those details on site.
Everyone who met us was professional,
timely and friendly. Also, the Radamis II was a very lovely ship and the
crew again, exceeded our expectations. The ship's tour guide was outstanding
and added so very much to our appreciation of what we were seeing and
experiencing.
I wish you the best and hope
to have an opportunity to work with you again in the future. Roxanne Beam, Palm Harbor, FL
------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi Debby! I couldn’t let it pass without writing a thank you.
We had a fantastic time, and the part of the trip we organized through you
was amazing. I have never met with such great service. The guides provided were really knowledgeable, I had
read a great deal before traveling so I know. The agents, Magdi in Cairo,
and Mohammed in Luxor went beyond in their dealings, we were treated like
royalty and we appreciated their input when organizing extra trips. Being the only English speaking people on the ship,
(more French and Germans go in summer), we had our own personal guide, a
different Mohammed, and he was knowledgeable, smart and funny. He
personalized what he showed us to our careers, and our personalities. The
vehicles were comfortable and cool after being out in the heat at the sites. Being a couple of gay men in Egypt we were subject to
a lot of sexual harassment. Coming back to the ship was like a safe haven.
The room was great, comfortable and clean, and the space was well organized,
being so small it never felt cramped. Sailing down the Nile with the window
open was a highlight amongst many, thanks again. Dennis Beech, Cathedral City, CA
Dear Susan, I have safely returned from
Egypt this early morning. It was a magnificent trip. So many memories
and new experiences, which were some of the most tremendous things I've ever
seen. I can never forget a sunrise from the top of a sand dune in the Sahara
Desert!!!! All these couldn't have happened without your help. I thank
you very much for your assistance and kindness.

------------------------------------------------------------------- This is our second tour we scheduled through your
company and have been totally satisfied with both tours. The
current trip to Egypt was extremely professional and informative in
everything. Upon arrival we were provided with a small booklet
about Egypt, what to expect, extra things to do, and some general
information about Egypt. The representative that met us at the
airport was an extremely nice person ready to offer all the information
we needed for having a very good time. He was also able to
schedule us for several extra activities. The two tour guides we had,
the Cairo tour guide, and the guide on the Nile River cruise were two
people extremely in love with Egypt and it's history. When they
spoke about the history they made you want to love it also. The
sites we saw and the things we were able to do were just amazing.
It was fascinating to visit places that were made thousands of years
ago. The guides took us to reputable places to purchase gifts that were
of high quality. We would like to thank you for everything you did and
look forward to working with you in the future. Thank You,
Bobby and Debra Carroll, Cherryville, NC. Eva, just to let you know what a great time we had in
Egypt. Thank you for all your advice and help to make this trip possible for
us. It exceeded our expectations and left us with many unforgettable
memories of the exotic and mysterious places we visited. Everything went smoothly as per the itinerary, the
hotels were very nice and the Nile cruise was a delightful experience.
Everybody was very friendly and helpful. Our guide was very knowledgeable,
(the most knowledgeable we have ever met). He was also very caring and
thoughtful and looked after us really well. We felt totally safe in Egypt,
learned a lot of new things reshaping some of our preconceived ideas. We will certainly recommend your company to friends
who may be thinking of visiting Egypt. Ken Nichols, Chicago, IL

Daltoo, Waterloo, ON ------------------------------------------------------------------- Just a note to thank you for the excellent
arrangements you made for us. Sadly, a previous day train crash prevented us
from catching the overnight sleeper train, but your local representative was
quick and efficient in helping us to replace it by a flight to Aswan. We had
a very good holiday and will certainly use your services again
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We had a fantastic 10 day
trip in Egypt and were very impressed by your professionalism and
flexibility - you really made the holiday so enjoyable and stress free for
us. Your guides and representatives were hugely
knowledgeable and always punctual - nothing seemed to be too much trouble
for them. We were sad to leave and would definitely recommend you and your
staff to any friends visiting Egypt in the future. Best wishes and many thanks,
Sarah Stafford, London, UK We have recently returned from a tour of Egypt "Grand
Tour program 7". It was a very enjoyable holiday and the tour is highly
recommended. In particular I would like to compliment the the
professional organization of your local representative, Ahmed. The
organization, the tour guides and drivers and service was excellent.
We found Egypt to be a safe place for tourists despite the uprising a couple
of years ago. I encourage other tourists to consider Egypt as a
destination. If you would like to put any of the above comments on
the review section of your web or use the above comments as a reference
please do so. Sincerely, Graeme Dickie, Sinnamon Park, Australia
------------------------------------------------------------------- We would like to thank you for an unforgettable tour
to Egypt (IN CLEOPATRA’S FOOTSTEPS) and Jordan 12th – 28th March. The Hotel
Marriott in Cairo was really nice - it keeps up a standard that one can
trust and I hope it will do so in the future. All the land arrangements in Egypt, transfers and
tours were outstanding. We were treated like royalty !! All the guides and
drivers were extremely enthusiastic, reliable and educating. We would like
to express our thanks to Joseph (the airport rep.) who’s smile and warm
welcome was a great first impression; Walid (our guide in Cairo) who was
always more than willing to fulfill our wishes and make changes accordingly;
Maghrabi Essa (our guide on the Nile Cruise) who was on duty from early
morning to dawn and made us go safely through all the crowded tourist spots;
and Rauf, who greeted us at the Marriott (on both arrivals) making sure we
did not have to wait for our room and keeping everything running smoothly. Again, many many thanks to you and all the persons
involved for making this educational, memorable, wonderful journey a dream
come true. Yours sincerely, Sigrun E. Arnadottir and Eggert Atlason Reykjavik,
Iceland
Hi, I just wanted to thank you for a most memorable
cruise. The MS Concerto was a brand new ship and it was wonderful. All of us
thoroughly enjoyed the trip and your guide Hussain Ashoor was very good.
Thank you for putting up with my uncertainties till the last moment. I have
recommended your website to all my friends. Dr. Joseph Ravindra, Manama,
Bahrain. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Monica, My husband and I have just returned from Egypt back
home. The trip was great, we had lots of fun, thank you for organizing it
for us. It was a different and great experience for us, and
we will recommend the trip to our friends. Gabriel Sommer and Lan Cui Munchen, Germany I recently had a client that booked air to Egypt and
then I put a land package together for him piece by piece. The most
difficulty I had was finding a company that would sell a Nile Cruise Only. I
wanted a 4-5 day cruise from Luxor to Aswan or reverse. After weeks of
requests and unconfirmed cruises I came across info on the internet from
Blue Danube Holidays. I called Bettina and within 24 hours she had my
client confirmed on a cruise that was departing just over a week later. She
had confirmed the space – sent me and invoice and travel vouchers within a
48 hour time frame. I was amazed – and Bettina is the one that made it all
happen. Her knowledge and service were top quality so if you are looking for
cruises I suggest you call Bettina. 1-800-770-7148 We are capable of customizing any Tour, please contact us with special requests! 1 800 770 7148 or [email protected]
