Egypt Forum: Egypt , Anyone recommends Right Travel NJ

Right Travel did an excellent job in assisting us with our 9 day trip to Egypt in March 2008. We flew from Philadelphia to Cairo and back.

Upon arrival in Cairo, we were greeted by a right Travel employee who guided us through customs, collecting our luggage, and currency exchange. He then escorted us to our private mini-van that took us to our hotel. In the mini-van, we met our Cairo tour manager who arranged for our tours and also got us checked into our hotel. He would meet us every day to make sure everything was okay and let us know how our schedule would work. Our tour guide in Cairo was fantastic and fun! We loved him.

When we traveled to other areas such as Abu Simbel, Aswan, and Luxor, we were again escorted and greeted by Right Travel employees who would help us through the airports and escort us to our cruise ship. We had a great time on our cruise ship. I really think that was the best part. The cruise ship would design neat animals on our beds. We had a baby king tut, cobras at the bottom of the beds, crocodiles, swans, and pyramids. The food and staff was great on the ship as well. Our tour guides were very informative and would meet us on the ship to take us on our tours for each day.

We returned to Cairo to finish our touring and were fortunate enough to be with the same tour guide that we started with. This added to the fun since we all kind of knew each other at that point. Upon our departure, we were once again guided to the airport and escorted to where we needed to be to go home.

I would totally recommend Right Travel as the touring company in Egypt. The price was very reasonable and we felt very safe. We traveled with two children as well, and they had a great time too. When we began pricing this vacation out, we went to AAA to see what their price would be for basically the same tour. They were approximately $4,500 more and the tours would not have been private-they would have been group tours. Group tours are fine but we really enjoyed a private tour that we could customize as we wanted.

The only suggestion I would have for someone goint to Egypt is to perhaps see if you could allow yourself some extra days. There is so much to see and so little time! You really have a very busy schedule each day. Of course you have down time but sometimes it doesn't feel like a lot. Certainly however, it is more than worth it!
