Very well organised tour, from being picked up at Cairo Airport to our departure from it (tour guide Isaac even came to the hotel at Cairo Airport at 4 am to take us to the terminal for the journey home). We felt entirely safe throughout the whole tour, not knowing what to expect, and the memories don't just include the amazing antiquities of Egypt but also seeing real life in Egypt as we ventured to Pyramids, Temples and Museums.

The air conditioned tour bus was always there for us, taking us to and from some amazing sights (and sites) which we will never forget. The hotels were very nice, but special praise for the cruise up the Nile. We didn't want to get off the boat and the staff were so nice - as was the food!

The tour guide throughout, Islam the Egyptologist, was excellent - extremely knowledgeable, good sense of humour, patient and always prepared to answer our questions. "Mashi Mashi".

Just don't know how it took us so long (years not travel time) to get to this amazing place. As with our excellent trip to China last year, Wendy Wu really deliver! We will be looking at their South East Asia offerings for next year.

It was fascinating visiting Giza pyramids, all the temples and necropolis, specially Luxor and Abu Symbel. Both Muhammad Abdel-Hamid and Toqa Mohymen were very friendly, caring and knowledgeable. They looked after us so well, there was nothing they wouldn't do to help us.

However, in my opinion, the tour felt a little rushed and it would have been interesting to go to a place were they make the papyrus. Also, maybe we could have had some time to do some sightseeing in Cairo and Aswan and have a tour of an important bazar.

All in all, it was a very enlightening tour, visiting some fascinating, beautifull relief and hieroglyphic-covered temples. An unforgettable experience!
