Best honeymoon in Egypt
I found Travelous a week before we were leaving for our honeymoon My husband and I had our plane tickets and hotel booked and I reached out to Travelous to see if they could help with our day tours Chris and his team came through to provide us with an amazing experience Our guide John in Cairo was fantastic He was very knowledgeable about the history of the pyramids and since he is local to Cairo he was also very knowledgeable about the city and culture We asked him many questions that he was not afraid to answer Aiymen our driver was wonderful definitely an expert driver in the cairo traffic Hishman our airport associate was so helpful getting us around the airport and helped us exchange some of our money to Egyptian pounds Our team in Luxor was amazing as well Abdallah was also very knowledgeable about the historical sites and being local to Luxor he helped us learn about the culture there Ahmed was a wonderful driver and Hamada was so helpful as our airport associate working with the hotel to get us breakfast packed for our early morning flight With the help of John and Abdallah we were able to learn a few words in arabic and they both went out of their way to make sure we had an unforgettable time in Egypt it felt like we were traveling with family We also felt safe the entire time we were there I cannot thank you enough Chris for putting this together for us last minute We did try some of the coffee and wonderful local food while we there The itinerary was perfect giving us enough time to do historical tours but also enough time to do our own thing as well This was our first time traveling out of the United States to another country I was a little leery about traveling to Egypt but I felt very safe the entire time we there The Travelous staff helped us feel safe and there are police stationed through out Cairo and Luxor if you feel you need added security I would highly recommend taking a chance to travel to Egypt it is definitely a once in a life time experience and my husband and I are already want to plan another trip back there

Egypt - Trip of a Lifetime
I had been dreaming of this trip for over 50 years and we had been talking about making it a reality since we were married 30 years ago From our arrival at the Cairo Airport to our departure 14 days later everything was well planned and executed During our initial conversations Chris listened to what we wanted and helped us to refine the details making suggestions and offering options along the way Throughout the following weeks he worked to solidify the details and provide us with a perfect itinerary The team he put together in Egypt were outstanding We knew we were in good hands throughout our entire stay in country Not only were they professional but their warmth pride in their country and passion for their work made our visit exciting and inspiring We never felt rushed or like we were expected to follow some pre-established canned schedule They let us know that this was our experience and they would do whatever they could to help us make the most of it Starting with Ayman who met us as we entered the country He guided us through the entry process and made us feel comfortable in our new surroundings We joked that he made us feel as though we had our own private security detail But beyond his ability to guide us smoothly through our entry and onto our various destinations in Cairo his sincere and friendly manner made each step seem effortless Dinner with him overlooking the city was truly breaking bread with a new friend Our guide for Old City Cairo was friendly knowledgeable warm and engaging John showed us through the Islamic sites and Coptic Cairo and helped us to see the rich history and beauty of this part of Cairo It was easy to see that he loved the Mosques Churches and Synagogues with their history art and deep connections to Egypt Hanan was the perfect guide for our visits to Saqqara Memphis Giza and the Egyptian and Civilization museums Her energy and knowledge were extraordinary She showed us details at each site that added so much more to our visits then we could have imagined She discussed ideas and offered insights that opened a whole new perspective to our views of ancient Egypt At the Egyptian Museum she showed us often overlooked exhibits that were mind blowing We hit it off right away and we will all remain lifelong friends She added even more joy to our Egypt experience than we could have thought possible When we met Lamey for our tours through Aswan Luxor and Karnak we knew that our visits would be remembered for the rest of our lives He was funny expressive knowledgeable and showed us more than the sites He showed us the areas around the sites and helped us experience the people food and history of the areas His no problem attitude made each day enjoyable and his obvious love of the Aswan and Luxor areas made our experiences there that much more meaningful We will especially remember the local foods that he shared with us He even enhanced our sunset Nile cruise with beautiful Egyptian music with a crescendo at sunset Our visit to Hurghada began with meeting our representative Abdelrahman We had a delightful and informative conversation with him during our ride from Luxor to Hurghada Abdul explained the different areas that we would be traveling through and had a wealth of information about the Hurghada area Our discussions ranged from Egypt geography Egyptian culture and languages He proudly shared the video of the Hymn of Isis and the Golden Parade We had limited time in Hurghada but wanted to experience the world-renowned reefs in the area Abdul arranged a special snorkeling excursion that proved to be breathtaking Thanks to him we even have underwater video of the experience We still remain in contact with him since our return We decided to make this trip on our 30th wedding anniversary Chris and his amazing team helped to make this dream trip to Egypt a reality beyond our expectations We made life-long friends and have a renewed interest in all things Egyptian Above all we look forward to our next trip to this beautiful and ancient country

Egypt 2023
Egypt 2023On our very first contact with Travelous they listened to our wants needs and concerns Once they had a clear understanding of our age disabilities and limitations they tailored a tour specifically to what we had discussed The Guides Drivers Greeters and Airport Assistance staff were amazingly prompt courteous helpful and most of all knowledgable of ancient Egypt Each went way beyond what would be expected from most tour companies This trip was started under a huge cloud of unsettling news as the Israeli Hamas war broke out two days before our departure The night before we left one of the owners Chris Bazos personally called and had a long discussion with us addressing our apprehensions He was very reassuring I have spent a lifetime enjoying international travel and have been on dozens of private tours Travelous rates right up there with the best I have ever used Plan on using them again in the future

The travel architect was very helpful and responsive
The travel architect was very communicative and timely in responding to our questions and requests so it made the trip planning fairly seemless The trip planned was awesome too
