13 Day Enchanting Egypt with 7 Day First Class Nile Cruise, March 2024

We had an exceptional tour guide, Amin. He has a warm heart and a terrific sense of humor. His deep knowledge of Egypt's ancient history brought the ancient times to life for me. His passion and enthusiasm for Egypt was evident and caused me to feel enveloped in the atmosphere of the era. My experience of being within the tombs and temples was deeply moving. As Amin told of the construction Aswan Dam, I learned of the Herculean feat to rescue the Abu Simbel's temples and the displacement of the Nubian people. We interacted with the people in the markets and went to shops with high quality goods. I encourage you to experience many of the optional tours, particularly to the Nubian Village. I could go on and on, but I'll leave something for you! Being on the Esplanade was like being in a jewel box. It's intimate and gorgeous with sparkling polished wood, tasteful furnishings, clean rooms, common areas and deck. The staff was warm, respectful and attentive. The wonderful chefs created amazing food and irresistible pastries and deserts. It was such fun and I loved the colorful activities surrounding the Egyptian culture while on the boat. I felt perfectly safe the entire time. Egypt is an experience to be treasured, especially touring with Gate 1.

15 Day Classic Egypt with Hurghada & 7 Day Nile Cruise, February 2024

We had an absolutely wonderful trip. Everything was taken care of from A to Z. The itinerary, sightseeing, 7-day Nile River cruise, bus and plane travel was very well organized and really good, as was the food. Our tour manager, Dina was the best of all of our 15 Gate 1 trips. We always felt welcome by everyone in Egypt, and always felt safe. This was probably the best of all of our trips.
