Egypt Reviews

	10 Day Discovery of Egypt with 4 Day Nile Cruise, October 2010 The trip was great. Amir was a wonderful tour guide and very professional in every way. I can not say enough positive things about him. It was a trip of a lifetime and I hope to return some day. Thank you for all of your help as well. I will recommend Gate 1 and you, Carol Ann, to anyone I meet looking to book a tour. -- Jane P.

	10 Day Affordable Egypt with 3 Day Nile Cruise, October 2010 The trip was wonderful! We had a great tour manager, Amir, who brought ancient history alive for us! We also visited a farming family who demonstrated how they're self-sustained from their land, from grinding corn on 200 year old stones to braiding rope from plant fibers. I understand that we were only the second group to do that, and it was a valuable experience. And, also extremely valuable, on Day 7 Amir conducted a question and answer session while we were cruising to Aswan to answer our accumulated questions on present day culture of Egypt. Regarding gratuities, it would be very helpful to note that $1.00 bills are great to bring along for tipping, because smaller bills in Egyptian pounds are hard to come by. In general, dollars were accepted for everything and use of a Visa was very limited....cash, cash, cash either pounds or dollars. The trip was terrific, and we'll definitely book with Gate 1 Travel in the future. -- Marsha P. & Carol P. State College, PA
	12 Day Egypt with Red Sea & 4 Day Nile Cruise, September 2010 How fabulous!! Out of 10 you scored a 10. We were up, and out, and felt as though we saw everything there was to see and experience in Egypt. For the price we paid I know you cannot beat it. Our tour guide, Husseum, was the most patient, knowledge, sincere guide. You are lucky to have him!!! He represents Egypt with class and dignity. Our only problem is where to book next. Nothing will beat this trip, it truly was a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you for your help and concerns -- Kathleen & John W
	12 Day Egypt with Red Sea & 4 Day Nile Cruise, September 2010 I really enjoyed the trip-fantastic!! Our guide, Hussein, was wonderful! Although I was tired because of the jam packed schedule and excursions, it was so worth it and I would book with Gate 1 again! -- Rebecca V. Arlington, VA
	10 Day Egypt with 6 Day Nile Cruise, September 2010 Everything was great. Our guide, Mofid, was wonderful. He made the ancient world come alive. We were strangers in a strange land but he helped ease us into that world. I was treated on the boat to a private tour of what I could and could not eat (I am allergic to egg and anything made with egg) for each meal. At times I got special dishes. -- Sharon G.

	9 Day Affordable Egypt with 3 Day Nile Cruise, September 2010 Everything about our trip exceeded our expectations. Of course, Egypt speaks for itself, but you, Victor, Gate 1 and Hisham, were marvelous. From the beginning, I appreciated the information that you offered and your suggestions with regard to side trips and other details. You were spot on. All of our arrangements worked smoothly and we were met in Cairo by Hisham. We expected a guide, but Hisham was so much more. His passion for Egypt was evident. His knowledge of its history, mythology, culture (both ancient and modern), and language are encyclopedic. He was able to simultaneously educate us, entertain us, and always make us feel well cared for. My daughters and I concluded that whatever Gate 1 pays, Hisham's pay should immediately be doubled. No, tripled, at least. In fact, we think that Hisham should become the worldwide spokesman for Gate 1 on television, the internet. Perhaps Hisham should be the spokesman for the nation of Egypt to boost tourism! We can't say enough. This was our first experience with a tour. I can't imagine that any other could even begin to measure up. -- Rita B. Northfield, IL
	15 Day Egypt with Red Sea & 7 Day Nile Cruise, August 2010 We've been on quite a few overseas trips, including a dozen or more cruises on large ships, but this was the first time we've taken a river cruise. Both the 7 days on the Nile as well as the additional time in Egypt beforehand in Cairo and afterwards at the Red Sea resort of Hurghada were thoroughly enjoyable. It is true that things worked out particularly well because of the congeniality of all 26 people in our travel group - there were no "misfits" but some very remarkable "fits"! However, this was a bonus and I congratulate Gate 1 on an excellent itinerary. Our main guide, Mohamed Wassiff, did an outstanding job despite some very stressful moments because of EgyptAir (the flight from Hurghada back to Cairo was delayed 8 hours) - and British eccentrics like me with a warped sense of humor! Again, my family has probably enjoyed far more exotic vacation trips than most but I do not recall my daughters ever being more reluctant to come home than from this trip. They found it quite amazing to be able to stand outside our hotel in Cairo (Le Meridien Pyramids) and look directly across the road to the Pyramids of Giza. So, while this is perhaps a little more longwinded a response than you anticipated, I do want to thank you for all you did to facilitate this trip for us. -- David R. Hazel Park, MI
	8 Day Affordable Egypt with 3 Day Nile Cruise, August 2010 This one one of the most exhilarating, educational and best vacations I've been on. I traveled alone on a full escorted tour with Gate 1 and Moufid, we toured Egypt and stayed at the Oasis hotel (in Cairo), 3 day Nile cruise (from Aswan to Luxor), and finally a return to the Ibertol Resort and Casino (in Cairo). It was my retirement present to myself and I say I am in awe and walked away with a broader knowledge base many thanks to my tour guide, Moufid. I was never nervous and had no knowledge of Gate 1, but I thought a fully escorted tour would be safe! The price was cheaper then most, but I felt comfortable booking my trip, and I was elated and received more than money can pay for a trip like this. I would recommend them over and over and can't wait for my next excursion. Thanks Again to Moufid and Gate 1. He is so knowledgeable and dedicated to his work and very easy going and fun. There was not a question he did not have an answer to. He offered private sessions to discuss our trip and made our travel to attractions safe and hassle free. -- Vernell G. Front Royal, VA
	8 Day Affordable Egypt with 3 Day Nile Cruise, August 2010 Our trip was fantastic! Our tour guide, Moufid, was wonderful. Gate 1 did a fantastic job hiring this guy. Also, a big thank you to Gate 1, you all were great at answering any questions. Upon arrival I was relieved to see that a Gate 1 representative was there waiting for us as stated. He and the driver were very friendly and everything went smoothly. When we arrived at The Oasis Hotel, there was Moufid to introduce himself and help get us checked in. The Oasis hotel was fine, I will say that we didn't care for their food, but really, that is our only complaint about that hotel, and it's not like we were going to Egypt for a culinary experience. Moufid was continually a wonderful presence. Extremely knowledgeable, going out of his way to answer questions, to make sure everyone was happy. Things were pretty seamless. The MS Queen of Hansa was pretty nice, the service on the boat was awesome! We really enjoyed the cruise portion of our trip. One day I got ill when we were at the Valley of the Queens and Moufid even sat there with me, offering water and whatever I needed to see that I would feel better. This guy really cares about his guests, how refreshing! It probably doesn't even occur to him that he is a freaking superstar tour guide, even if he does hear the compliments, a very humble guy. Keep Moufid on for sure, everyone was so happy with him and I will never forget how hard he worked for all of us. Thank you all very much, I am very happy with Gate 1 and even heard good things about you all from others on our tour. I will definitely use you all again in the future. Feel free to send me coupons :) -- Amy B. Houston, TX
	10 Day Discovery of Egypt with 4 Day Nile Cruise, July 2010 My clients Michael and Ruth S. had a wonderful experience in Egypt this summer. Gate 1 is to be congratulated on doing an excellent job. They were so surprised at everything including the excellence of the tour and the great tour guides. -- Benita H. - Mahwah, NJ
